FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) – The Ozark Natural Science Center says it’s unveiling its new satellite location near Lake Fayetteville on Saturday. The first day coincides with one of the center’s primary fundraisers, the Call of the Wild.

The nonprofit’s website says the fundraising event will support its ongoing mission to provide greater environmental education to the surrounding community. The science center says it provides ongoing access to environmental programs, hosts fieldtrips, and offers facility rentals. The organization adds that its expansion into its new Lake Fayetteville location will bolster its ability to conduct this outreach to more communities.

Tickets to the center’s Call of the Wild benefit, with music, food, and science activities, are available at the center’s website, linked here.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.
