ConveGenius has created a conversational AI chatbot platform built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing provider announced on Thursday. According to a PTI report, the AI chatbot platform, called SwiftChat, will utilize as many as 53 AI chatbots to provide learning content in several regional languages. “Using the SwiftChat platform, which holds 124 million student profiles across 19 million devices, government schools can create omnichannel chatbots to deliver personalized learning, like curated videos and read-along content, through a single AI-enabled chatbot conversation,” AWS said in a release.
George RR Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, and several other writers and novelists have sued ChatGPT-maker OpenAI over copyright infringement. As per an AFP report, the Authors Guild accused the AI company of using content from their books to train its AI models without permission. ”The firm's language models "endanger fiction writers' ability to make a living, in that the (models) allow anyone to generate -- automatically and freely (or very cheaply) -- texts that they would otherwise pay writers to create," the complaint read.
