Generative AI

 

  • Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence technology that can produce various types of content, including text, imagery, audio and synthetic data.
  • The recent buzz around generative AI has been driven by the simplicity of new user interfaces for creating high-quality text, graphics, and videos in a matter of seconds.
  • The technology, it should be noted, is not brand-new. Generative AI was introduced in the 1960s in chatbots. Generative AI has been around for years, arguably since ELIZA, a chatbot that simulates talking to a therapist, was developed at MIT in 1966.
  • But it was not until 2014, with the introduction of generative adversarial networks, or GA.

Uganda Successfully Ends Sudan Ebola Virus Outbreak

 

  • On January 11, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that Uganda had successfully declared the end of the Ebola disease outbreak caused by Sudan Ebola virus.
  • This was Uganda’s first Sudan Ebola Virus outbreak in a decade and its fifth overall.
  • There are five subtypes of Ebola viruses: Zaire, Sudan, Bundibugyo, Tai Forest (formerly known as Côte d’Ivoire), and Reston, each named after the location in which it was first identified.
  • The first three subtypes have been associated with large EVD outbreaks in Africa. The Reston subtype is found in the USA and although it is highly pathogenic in nonhuman primates, it is not known to cause illness in humans.
  • In addition to Ebola virus, there is one other member of the Filovirus family, known as Marburg virus (named after the city in Germany in which it was first discovered), that also causes hemorrhagic fever.
