GTP-4 passa l'esame da avvocato
by Guido Noto La Diega March 21, 2023

March 21, 2023

"In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the zero-shot performance of a preliminary version of GPT-4 against prior generations of GPT on the entire Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), including not only the multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), but also the open-ended Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) and Multistate Performance Test (MPT) components. On the MBE, GPT-4 significantly outperforms both human test-takers and prior models, demonstrating a 26% increase over ChatGPT and beating humans in five of seven subject areas. On the MEE and MPT, which have not previously been evaluated by scholars, GPT-4 scores an average of 4.2/6.0 as compared to much lower scores for ChatGPT. Graded across the UBE components, in the manner in which a human tast-taker would be, GPT-4 scores approximately 297 points, significantly in excess of the passing threshold for all UBE jurisdictions. These findings document not just the rapid and remarkable advance of large language model performance generally, but also the potential for such models to support the delivery of legal services in society." https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4389233 Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Against Predictive Optimization: On the Legitimacy of Decision-Making Algorithms that Optimize Predictive Accuracy
by Antonio Vetro' March 20, 2023

March 20, 2023

Against Predictive Optimization: On the Legitimacy of Decision-Making Algorithms that Optimize Predictive Accuracy Angelina Wang, Sayash Kapoor, Solon Barocas, Arvind Narayanan. https://predictive-optimization.cs.princeton.edu Executive summary sotto: il punto 3 è radicale ma coerente con l’evidenza empirica raccolta dagli autori (e, se non sbaglio, simile con quanto espresso in questa lista da Daniela Tafani riguardo l’uso di AI per prevedere esiti sociali). 1. Predictive optimization is a distinct type of automated decision making that has proliferated widely. It is sold as accurate, fair, and efficient. 2. We identify a recurring set of flaws that apply broadly to predictive optimization, are hard to fix technologically, and negate its claimed benefits. 3. Any application of predictive optimization should be considered illegitimate by default unless the developer justifies how it avoids these flaws.

"GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models"
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 20, 2023

March 20, 2023

[Submitted on 17 Mar 2023] GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models Tyna Eloundou <https://arxiv.org/search/econ?searchtype=author&query=Eloundou%2C+T>, Sam Manning <https://arxiv.org/search/econ?searchtype=author&query=Manning%2C+S>, Pamela Mishkin <https://arxiv.org/search/econ?searchtype=author&query=Mishkin%2C+P>, Daniel Rock <https://arxiv.org/search/econ?searchtype=author&query=Rock%2C+D> We investigate the potential implications of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models and related technologies on the U.S. labor market. Using a new rubric, we assess occupations based on their correspondence with GPT capabilities, incorporating both human expertise and classifications from GPT-4. Our findings indicate that approximately 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of GPTs, while around 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted. The influence spans all wage levels, with higher-income jobs potentially facing greater exposure. Notably, the impact is not limited to industries with higher recent productivity growth. We conclude that Generative Pre-trained Transformers exhibit characteristics of general-purpose technologies (GPTs), suggesting that as these models could have notable economic, social, and policy implications. Subjects: General Economics (econ.GN); Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI); Computers and Society (cs.CY) Cite as: arXiv:2303.10130 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10130> [econ.GN] (or arXiv:2303.10130v1 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10130v1> [econ.GN] for this version) https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2303.10130

Spero di non avere violato nessun copyright, ma ce l'ho solo in cartaceo e quindi ho solo potuto scansionarlo. Si tratta solamente di un breve accenno divulgativo sul numero 365 del 24 febbraio di Focus, ma credo che possa interessare la lista e che valga la pena di approfondire, se qualcuno ha del materiale da segnalare Buona settimana a tutti D.
