Argentinian President Javier Milei has announced the creation of a new security unit, the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit (UIAAS). This new unit is designed to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools to potentially predict future crimes. This represents another shift by Milei to integrate AI deeper into government operations, previously making…
Lattice, an HR software company founded by Jack Altman, recently attempted an ambitious move to generate official employee records for its 'digital workers.' However, after facing significant backlash, the company had to backtrack on this decision just three days later.
CEO Sarah Franklin initially declared through LinkedIn that Lattice was pioneering the responsible employment of…
A team from the University of Würzburg and the Max-Planck Institute for Human Development has successfully trained an AI model developed by Google, known as BERT, in lie detection, offering an alternative to conventional techniques such as polygraphs. Given the less-than-seamless results exhibited by human efforts (typically around 50% accuracy), an effective artificial lie detector…
ElevenLabs, a pioneer in text-to-speech and artificial intelligence (AI) voice generation, has inked deals to use AI-generated voices of late movie stars in its Reader App. The firm has secured licensing rights from the estates of Judy Garland, James Dean, Burt Reynolds, and Sir Laurence Olivier. The app can convert articles, PDFs, e-books, ePub, newsletters,…
The United Nations (UN) General Assembly has approved a resolution originating from China, appealing to developed nations to aid poorer nations in exploiting Artificial Intelligence (AI). The non-binding resolution, called "Enhancing international cooperation on capacity-building of artificial intelligence," was proposed by China's permanent representative to the UN, Fu Cong. According to Fu, while AI technologies…
A study carried out by the University of Reading, UK, found that the majority of human educators are unable to detect content generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The shift towards remote learning and the increasing accessibility of sophisticated AI tools like ChatGPT led to this research. The researchers wanted to determine if university professors could…
PauseAI, an activist group focused on AI safety, organized global demonstrations to advocate for a halt in the development of AI models that surpass the power of GPT-4. The group rallied supporters in 14 cities worldwide, including New York, London, Sydney, and Sao Paulo, with the intent of drawing attention to what it perceives are…
Noyb, a European digital rights organization, has filed a lawsuit against artificial intelligence company OpenAI, alleging that its language model, ChatGPT, has a consistent issue of producing inaccurate personal information about individuals. The AI model's inclination to 'make up' information when it lacks a concrete answer to a question has resulted in false details about…
Stanford University's AI Index Report 2024 outlines the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) and the increasing irrelevance of traditional benchmark comparisons with humans. The yearly report explores AI developments and trends, noting how the previously held industry benchmarks that compared AI models with human capabilities are gradually losing effectiveness due to rapid AI evolution.…
