DecisionCAMP, the major annual Decision Management event for partitioners by practitioners, starts on Monday, Sep 18 (online). With many presentations and discussions about Generative AI and Symbolic AI it promises to become an important milestone on the road to the next generation of Decision Intelligence systems. See the Program with the presentation slides and if you still haven’t registered, do it now for free at https://decisioncamp2023.wordpress.com/registration/.
Prof. Marlon Dumas made this presentation at BPM-2023: Read more
Customers of generative AI tools are concerned about the risk of IP infringement claims if they use the produced output. This is understandable, given recent public inquiries by authors and artists regarding how their own work is being used in conjunction with AI models and services.
“To address this customer concern, Microsoft is announcing our new Copilot Copyright Commitment. As customers ask whether they can use Microsoft’s Copilot services and the output they generate without worrying about copyright claims, we are providing a straightforward answer: yes, you can, and if you are challenged on copyright grounds, we will assume responsibility for the potential legal risks involved.” Link
Emerging speech neuroprostheses may offer a way to communicate for people who are unable to speak due to paralysis or disease, but fast, high-performance decoding has not yet been demonstrated. Now, transformative new work by researchers at UCSF and UC Berkeley shows that more natural speech decoding is possible using the latest advances in artificial intelligence. Link
Dr. Bas van der Raadt, who was our presenter in January-2023, posted two articles at LinkedIn:
Their titles may sound controversial but not for people who build decision-making systems in modern rules-based and event-driven environments.
“Intelligence is ten million rules.” Doug Lenat
Douglas Lenat, who Tried to Make A.I. More Human, died at 72. He spent decades working on artificial intelligence, striving to create computers that could replicate common sense. In 2012 Doug was our keynote speaker at IntelliFest, a predecessor of DecisionCAMP. Here are two good articles about Doug: in NYTimes and by Gary Marcus. And here is a link to his last article Getting from Generative AI to Trustworthy AI: What LLMs might learn from Cyc.
Large Language Models (LLMs) and ChatGPT will be well-presented at the upcoming DecisionCAMP-2023 on Sep 18-20. Here are a few examples:
The very first presentation by Gary Hallmark will demonstrate the use of ChatGPT to generate all of the decision logic in the well-known DMN Loan Approval Strategy decision using simple English prompts and natural language decision tables.
We decided to bring back Challenge “Soldier Payment Rules” which in 2017 received only two solutions. This is a good chance to demonstrate the expressive power of your DMN or other decision management tools. The proper decision model is supposed to assemble a payment timeline for a soldier that shows his/her hourly pay rate in any given time period. The payment rates depend on soldier’s rank, profession, service type, unit, and participation in combat. Submit your solutions to DecisionManagementCommunity@gmail.com. Link
Now, a research paper (pdf) published last month that has yet to be peer reviewed indicates that AI-automated attacks on various CAPTCHA schemes have been successful. The study, conducted by a group of researchers, showed that AI bots are now better than humans at decoding the CAPTCHAs. They even create an impression of humans being more robots than the bots that the CAPTCHAs try to keep out. And they even do it much faster. Link
