media update’s Taylor Goodman is here to keep you clued up on your favorite social media platforms’ latest advancements.

WhatsApp group admins may be criminally liable for sharing fake news in South Africa

The news: WhatsApp group administrators can now face jail time if they knowingly share fake news on the platform. As sharing fake news in relation to COVID-19 is a crime according to South Africa’s disaster regulations, violating this law could lead to six months in jail. This penalty may also apply to admins that are aware that false information is being shared on their group. 

According to Business Insider, it has to be clear that this misinformation is being spread with malicious intent — och the administrator needs to be conscious that this information is false. 

Why it’s making headlines: WhatsApp is a breeding ground for fake news and most people know someone who shares spam on Whatsapp on a daily basis — that misinformation spreads, and it spreads fast

The spread of fake news can be detrimental to us all during this pandemic, so it is commendable that the South African government and WhatsApp are enforcing serious measures to prevent this.  

Instagram launches media sharing feature: Co-watching

The news: Instagram has been making a serious effort to promote social distancing and staying in quarantine — from its stay-at-home and donation stickers for Instagram stories to its latest update, co-watching. This update will allow users to browse their Instagram feeds with their friends while on a video chat.

Why it’s making headlines: As people will be self-isolating this will be a fun and interactive way for users to pass the time.

As video communication has skyrocketed with apps like Zoom and Hangouts, Instagram decided to roll out their version sooner than planned. Co-watching will make a routine activity like scrolling through your Instagram feed more engaging as users will be able to share content with their friends.

Pinterest’s CEO plans to launch a self-reporting COVID-19

The news: Pinterest’s co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann has teamed up with CRISPR gene-editing pioneer and MIT/Harvard Broad Institute member Dr. Feng Zhang to build the How We Feel App.

This app is free to download for Android and iOS users and makes it easy for users to report on their current state of health daily. If they are feeling unwell, they are asked about the symptoms they are experiencing, whether they have been tested for COVID-19 and if they are self-isolating. This information is then shared with doctors, healthcare professionals and scientists.

Why it’s making headlines: With many people working to flatten the curve, any attempt to ease the blow of COVID-19 is making headlines. How We Feel has the potential to track the progression and spread of the pandemic, allowing experts to gain insight into Coronavirus and identify any infection hotspots.

The project is also independently built and a non-profit that promises to donate a meal to Feeding America every time someone downloads the app for the first time.

LinkedIn makes recruitment tools free for essential businesses

The news: Popular business and employment app LinkedIn is doing its bit in lending a helping hand during the COVID-19 pandemic by offering free job posts to those working in essential services.

Those working in healthcare, supermarkets, warehousing och freight delivery services are eligible for free job listings on the platform och additional promotion to candidates that are highly qualified through an ‘urgently hiring’ category.

Why it’s making headlines: As LinkedIn generates most of its revenue through job posts, it is bound to make headlines that they are sacrificing this capital for the greater good.

Hospitals, healthcare organisations and essential workers worldwide have been overwhelmed by the demand for their services since the surge of COVID-19, and LinkedIn is working to ease their burden and reduce the stress placed on these frontline service workers during this trying time.

According to SocialMediaToday, making these job listings free will “help expedite efforts to fill roles, providing key support” and in turn, will help us fight back against COVID-19.

Facebook launches Community Help internationally

The news: Facebook has made its Community Help feature accessible to users on a global scale. This feature has been rolled out as a part of Facebook’s digital strategy to ease the burden of COVID-19.

The feature allows users to connect with each other to request help or lend a hand to those struggling at the hand of coronavirus. It also enables users to donate to non-profit organisations aimed at aiding Coronavirus victims. It has previously been used during terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

Why it’s making headlines: This is the first time Facebook will be launching Community Help internationally, making it available in the US, Canada, France, UK and Australia. This is also the first time that the feature will be used to support users during a health pandemic.

Facebook’s Community Help feature will be accessible via their COVID-19 information center found on top of the news feed. Here, users are able to access verified health information and curated, informative posts.

Google donates $6.5-million to fact-checking organizations to prevent spread of misinformation on social media

The news: In the fight against COVID-19, the spread of misinformation is public enemy number one. In order to combat this pandemic, society needs to know exakt what the virus is, how it is spread and how to prevent catching it. Despite this, the spread of fake news is still rife on social media.

This makes Google’s donation to outlets like The International Fact-Checking Network, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and First Draft so meaningful.

These organisations are fact-checking and nonprofits that prevent the spread of misinformation relating to the Coronavirus. According to Sociala medier idag, this donation will assist in boosting the capacity of fact-checkers and amplifying authoritative voices.

Why it’s making headlines: As Google is usually the first place people go to verify information, it is meaningful that they would go to these lengths to ensure that the information their users receive is verifierad.

The implementation of this fact-checking system will also be particularly useful on social media, where fake news and misinformation is too easily accessible and spreads like wildfire.

Vi frågade ChatGPT vad som kommer att bli Googles (GOOG) aktiekurs för 2030

Vi frågade ChatGPT vad som kommer att bli Googles (GOOG) aktiekurs för 2030

Investors who have invested in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock have reaped significant benefits from the company’s robust financial performance over the last five years. Google’s dominance in the online advertising market has been a key driver of the company’s consistent revenue growth and impressive profit margins.

In addition, Google has expanded its operations into related fields such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. These areas show great promise as future growth drivers, making them increasingly attractive to investors. Notably, Alphabet’s stock price has been rising due to investor interest in the company’s recent initiatives in the fast-developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), adding generative AI features to Gmail and Google Docs.

However, when it comes to predicting the future pricing of a corporation like Google, there are many factors to consider. With this in mind, Finbold turned to the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT to suggest a likely pricing range for GOOG stock by 2030. Although the tool was unable to give a definitive price range, it did note the following:

“Over the long term, Google has a track record of strong financial performance and has shown an ability to adapt to changing market conditions. As such, it’s reasonable to expect that Google’s stock price may continue to appreciate over time.”

GOOG stock price prediction

While attempting to estimate the price range of future transactions, it is essential to consider a variety of measures in addition to the AI chat tool, which includes deep learning algorithms and stock market experts.

Finbold collected forecasts provided by CoinPriceForecast, a finance prediction tool that utilizes machine self-learning technology, to anticipate Google stock price by the end of 2030 to compare with ChatGPT’s projection.

According to the most recent long-term estimate, which Finbold obtained on March 20, the price of Google will rise beyond $200 in 2030 and touch $247 by the end of the year, which would indicate a 141% gain from today to the end of the year.

Google has been assigned a recommendation of ‘strong buy’ by the majority of analysts working on Wall Street for a more near-term time frame. Significantly, 36 analysts of the 48 have recommended a “strong buy,” while seven people have advocated a “buy.” The remaining five analysts had given a ‘hold’ rating.

The average price projection for Alphabet stock over the last three months has been $125.32; this objective represents a 22.31% upside from its current price. It’s interesting to note that the maximum price forecast for the next year is $160, representing a gain of 56.16% from the stock’s current price of $102.46.

While the outlook for Google stock may be positive, it’s important to keep in mind that some potential challenges and risks could impact its performance, including competition from ChatGPT itself, which could affect Google’s price.

Den här Apple Watch-appen ger ChatGPT till din handled – det är därför du vill ha det

Publicerad

Apple Watch Series 8

ChatGPT feels like it is everywhere at the moment; the AI-powered tool is rapidly starting to feel like internet connected home devices where you are left wondering if your flower pot really needed Bluetooth. However, after hearing about a new Apple Watch app that brings ChatGPT to your favorite wrist computer, I’m actually convinced this one is worth checking out.

The new app is called watchGPT and as I tipped off already, it gives you access to ChatGPT from your Apple Watch. Now the $10,000 question (or more accurately the $3.99 question, as that is the one-time cost of the app) is why having ChatGPT on your wrist is remotely necessary, so let’s dive into what exactly the app can do.

What can watchGPT do?

Discord går all in med AI: chatbots, automods, whiteboards och mer

Discord går all in med AI: chatbots, automods, whiteboards och mer

AI är framtiden, åtminstone över på Discord.

Meddelandeapplikationen som ursprungligen skapades för spelare har blivit Gen Z:s favoritdestination för onlinehangout, och nu rullar den ut ett antal funktioner som drivs av artificiell intelligens.

I en meddelande(Öppnas i en ny flik) på torsdagen delade Discord vad som kommer till plattformen snart: en AI-chatbot, en automatiserad AI-moderator, en konversationssammanfattning, en avatarremixer och en whiteboard. Vissa av dessa funktioner börjar rullas ut idag, den 9 mars. Andra kommer att lanseras under de kommande veckorna och månaderna.

Medan AI har hoppat in i mainstream tack vare populariteten för OpenAI:s ChatGPT-chatbot, har Discord haft en aktiv AI-community ett bra tag nu. Enligt företaget har tredjeparts AI-appar som redan finns på plattformen redan mer än 30 miljoner månatliga användare. Nästan 3 miljoner servrar på Discord har något AI-element integrerat i communityn.

Faktum är att den största communityn på Discord är Midjourney, ett text-till-bild AI-projekt som låter användare skapa konst direkt från servern. Discord säger att Midjourneys server har mer än 13 miljoner medlemmar.

Så, med AI som redan är en så integrerad del av Discord, verkade det bara som en tidsfråga innan Discord själv började ta med AI direkt till plattformen.

Den första funktionen som kommer till vissa Discord-servrar redan idag är AutoMod AI. Discord har redan en AutoMod-funktion, som i princip automatiskt modererar rum för administratörer baserat på serverns regler. Discord har nu integrerat OpenAI-driven AI i AutoMod, så att den kan söka på servern och kontakta moderatorer när den tror att reglerna eventuellt bryts. Enligt Discord kan AutoMod AI också överväga konversationskontexten så att användare till exempel inte blir straffade för inlägg som tolkas fel.

Clyde är en bot som Discord-användare kanske redan är bekanta med, och från och med nästa vecka får Clyde en AI-uppgradering. För närvarande tillhandahåller Clyde-boten information, såsom serverfelmeddelanden, och svarar även på timeout- eller förbudsbegäranden från användare och mods. Det är dock i stort sett allt Clyde kunde göra. Tills nu.

Clyde kommer nu att kunna svara på alla möjliga frågor från användare, ungefär som OpenAI:s ChatGPT chatbot. Användare måste helt enkelt skriva "@Clyde" följt av deras prompt. Clyde kommer att kunna hämta information och även hjälpa till att hitta specifika emojis eller GIFs baserat på en användares beskrivning.

En annan AI-funktion som kommer till Discord nästa vecka är Conversation Summaries. Återigen, namnet är ganska beskrivande för vad det gör. Med användare över hela världen rör sig många Discord-kanaler alltid oavsett tid på dygnet. Konversationssammanfattningar gör det möjligt för användare att komma ikapp vad de missat på en Discover Server. Den AI-drivna funktionen kommer att "bunta ihop" chattar i ämnen så att användare enkelt kan läsa om vad de tycker är mest intressant.

Från och med idag kan utvecklare börja spela med Avatar Remix, en Discord-app med öppen källkod som integrerar AI-konst i meddelandeappen. Avatar Remix låter användare ta en medanvändares avatar och ändra den "med hjälp av kraften hos generativa bildmodeller." Vad betyder det? I demon som Discord visade Mashable kunde en användare lägga till en festhatt eller en mustasch till en väns avatar genom att helt enkelt nämna deras användarnamn och beskriva vilka ändringar de skulle vilja göra.

Företaget lanserar också en "AI-inkubator", som erbjuder stöd för utvecklare som skapar AI-drivna appar på Discord.

Slutligen avslöjade Discord en funktion som kommer snart som länge har efterfrågats av Discord-communityt: en whiteboard. Men, naturligtvis, detta kommer inte att vara vilken funktion som helst för kollaborativ whiteboard. Det kommer att vara AI-drivet, vilket gör det möjligt för användare att samarbeta för att generera AI-konst och mer.
