Applying concepts to current events

Image generated using Adobe Firefly

Purpose

Certain tools that implement generative AI are also connected to the live internet, which allows them to search for up to date information. The prompts here show how you can take advantage of the abilities of generative AI that has access to internet sources to help you come up with perspectives and connections relating to current events and contexts.


Prompt

The prompts provided below are specifically for the use of internet-connected generative AI tools that access real-time information and data from the internet, such as Microsoft Copilot for Web.
Imagine you are a technology researcher. Provide a brief analysis of the potential impact of 5G technology implementation in Sydney, considering its implications for various sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and communication.

Alternatives:

Act as an economist from a university. Your task is to provide a brief analysis of the impact of recent infrastructure projects on Sydney's economy. Present your findings in a concise paragraph
As a political analyst, provide a comprehensive assessment of the current political landscape in Sydney, analyzing key policies, public sentiment, and potential implications for upcoming elections.
Explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in the realm of digital art, investigating how AI-generated artworks challenge traditional artistic boundaries and spark new creative expressions

Follow-up prompt (optional):

Can you explain it more in depth?
Provide me with more information.

Explanation

These prompts engage the AI to search the internet for information before producing a completion. Only some generative AI tools allow AI models to access information from the live internet. This connectivity allows AI models to generate responses with information that is more up to date than its training data cut-off.

This approach is particularly valuable for engaging in-class discussions and scenarios where immediate access to current information is required. Just as students benefit from drawing connections between what is taught in lectures and real-world updates, internet-connected AI tools can provide users with the most up-to-date insights, news, developments, and trends.

However, it is important to remember that while internet-connected AI tools offer current information, accuracy is not guaranteed. Information found on the internet can be subjective and prone to bias. Even though the provided information is more likely to be accurate and current, it is always advisable to cross-check the information with other reliable sources to ensure its validity.
