July 9 (Bloomberg) -- Japan is significantly lagging behind the world's leading countries in terms of generative artificial intelligence (AI) usage, according to a 2025 white paper released Tuesday by the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The whitepaper noted that only 26.7% of the Japanese population reported using such tools in fiscal year 2024, which, despite being a roughly three-fold increase from fiscal year 2023, is still much lower than AI-leading countries such as the United States and China. Of these, the U.S. has a high usage rate of 68.8%, while China's usage rate is even higher at 81.2%. 1AI notes that the white paper emphasizes that AI is...

June 20 news, according to Time magazine reported on the 18th, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, a new study found that over-reliance on ChatGPT may weaken critical thinking skills, triggering concerns about the impact of generative AI on brain development. The research team recruited 54 Boston-area residents between the ages of 18 and 39, divided into three groups, and used OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google search, and purely handwritten methods to complete multiple SAT (Note: Academic Assessment Test, equivalent to the domestic college entrance exam) essays. The researchers passed...

May 28 news, according to foreign media SciTechDaily 26 reports, the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, the latest study pointed out that the level of artificial intelligence writing still has not caught up with the performance of real students. The results have been published in the journal "Written Communication". The researchers compared essays written by 145 university students with those generated by ChatGPT.

April 19 news, according to foreign media Tom's Hardware reported that on Wednesday, local time, the Washington Post and the University of California, Riverside, research pointed out that the use of generative AI environmental costs are much higher than the outside world imagined. The study found that AI, even when it's just generating text, consumes a lot of water behind the scenes to cool servers, in addition to the huge power consumption that goes along with it. The team noted that AI's water consumption varies greatly depending on the state and distance from the data center: the less water used, the more power it tends to consume, and vice versa. ...

Feb. 11 - According to a Feb. 7 report in the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. tech industry's unemployment rate climbed to 5.7% in January from 3.9% in December, considerably higher than last month's overall unemployment rate of 4%, showing that the popularity of automation and AI is having an increasingly negative impact on the tech industry's labor market. According to a report released by consulting firm Janco Associates, based on data from the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of unemployed people in the tech sector increased in January from 98,000 last December to 15...

Today's big models have a wide range of extraordinary abilities, from reciting poetry to generating efficient computer code, giving the illusion that they seem to "vaguely understand" some of the fundamental laws of the real world. However, a new study suggests that this may not be the case. Researchers found that a popular generative AI model was able to provide near-perfect step-by-step navigational guidance in New York City, but did not produce a truly accurate map. According to a Nov. 5 report in the MIT Technology Review, the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)...

GitHub's annual report, Octoverse, shows that Python has overtaken JavaScript as the most popular programming language on GitHub for the first time. This was largely driven by a surge in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) development, with Python also being widely used for data science and open source project development. The report notes that contributions to projects related to generative AI have grown by 59% in the past year, with contributions to AI-related public projects almost doubling from 2023, with India, Germany, Japan and Singapore being among those contributing...

According to the Yomiuri Shimbun on 25th, a 25-year-old Hayashi man was sentenced by the Tokyo District Court to three years' imprisonment and four years' probation for misuse of generative AI to create a computer virus, marking the first time in Japan that there has been a criminal conviction for misuse of generative AI. According to the judgment and other documents, on March 31 last year, this man created a ransomware-like computer virus at his residence in Kawasaki City using a computer and a smartphone with a malicious program design (source code) obtained by Generative AI. In addition, he posed as another person and fraudulently obtained...

Market research firm Gartner predicted on October 3 that by 2027, generative AI will spawn new jobs in software engineering and operations, and that 80% engineers will need to upgrade their skills. Bold predictions of AI's potential have sparked speculation that AI could reduce the need for human engineers or even replace them altogether," said Philip Walsh, senior principal analyst at Gartner. While AI will redefine the role of the software engineer, human expertise and creativity will remain...

A new study from the University of California, Riverside reveals the staggering environmental costs of generative AI, particularly its consumption of water, according to the Washington Post. The study found that AI requires a lot of water to cool servers, even if it's just generating text. This, combined with the enormous strain it puts on the power grid, further highlights the environmental challenges of AI development. The study notes that AI's water consumption varies by state and data center location, but overall, water consumption is inversely proportional to electricity costs. Texas has the lowest water consumption, requiring only 235 milliliters of water to generate a 100-word email, while Wa...
