Learn More Nvidia it is working with Google Quantum AI to accelerate the design of its next-generation quantum computing devices using simulations powered by Nvidia. Google Quantum AI is using the hybrid quantum-classical computing platform and the Nvidia Eos supercomputer to simulate the physics of its quantum processors. This will help overcome the current limitations of quantum computing hardware, which can only run a certain number of quantum operations before computations must cease, due to what researchers call “noise.” “The development of commercially…

Sam Altman Points Out That Elon Musk’s “Anti-Woke” Grok AI Seems to Actually Support Kamala Harris

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had a very simple question for xAI CEO Elon Musk's foul-mouthed Grok chatbot: who would make for a "better overall president for the United States?"The chatbot, which Musk has long positioned as the "anti-woke" alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT, had an equally simple answer: Kamala Harris.Grok listed a number of reasons as to why, ranging from "abortion and women's rights" to "inclusivity" and the risk of the disastrous economic policies president-elect Donald Trump has threatened the country with.In other words, Grok made a compelling case against Trump — the exact kind of argument the extreme right, including…

If you can’t trust the voice of David Attenborough, what can you trust?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

It sounds too fanciful and too outrageous to be true, but nothing is too outrageous for the world the tech bros have bequeathed us. The BBC has revealed that various websites and YouTube channels are using AI to clone the voice of David Attenborough and get him to say things – about Russia, about the US election – that surely he would never say.It’s not the first time it has happened to a celebrity – Scarlett Johansson refused to license her voice to ChatGPT and accused them of creating it anyway, in a character called Sky. ChatGPT’s developer, OpenAI, said…

AI feels like an unstoppable force. But it is not a panacea for businesses or society

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

In Greek mythology, Prometheus is credited with giving humans fire as well as the “spark” that spurred civilisation. One of the unintended consequences of Prometheus’s “gift” was that the need for celestial Gods diminished. Modern humans have been up to all sorts of things that present similar unintended consequences, from using CFCs that led to a hole in the ozone layer to building systems that they do not understand or cannot fully control. In dabbling with artificial intelligence (AI), humans seem to have taken on the role of Prometheus – apparently gifting machines the “fire” that sparked civilisation. Predicting the…

As AI and megaplatforms take over, the hyperlinks that built the web may face extinction

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

The original idea for the world wide web emerged in a flurry of scientific thought around the end of World War II. It began with a hypothetical machine called the “memex”, proposed by US Office of Scientific Research and Development head Vannevar Bush in an article entitled As We May Think, published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1945. The memex would help us access all knowledge, instantaneously and from our desks. It had a searchable index, and documents were linked together by the “trails” made by users when they associated one document with another. Bush imagined the memex using microfiche…

"Usually it's got a sheen."Taper ExpectationsMost of us are probably guilty of having unrealistic expectations for how our haircuts should look. Showing your barber a photo of David Beckham, sadly, does not mean you will strut out the shop looking like the iconic soccer champion.That being said, bringing a photo of a real human to your hair appointment is definitely more practical than what some people are turning to now, according to stylists: AI-generated images.Dean Allan, the owner of a beauty salon in Edmonton, Alberta tells the CBC that it's becoming more and more common for clients to instead show him…

What could go wrong?Gun BotsUS Defense Department contractor Allen Control Systems (ACS) has developed an artificial intelligence-powered autonomous robotic gun system called the "Bullfrog," which can target small drones using proprietary computer vision software.As Wired reports, the Defense Department tested out the system during the Technology Readiness Experimentation event earlier this year, which allows contractors like ACS to showcase their prototype technologies to the Pentagon.Recent footage shows the vehicle-mounted gun shooting small drones out of the sky with ease.And that kind of capability is more relevant than ever as small, uncrewed aircraft are becoming increasingly common on the battlefield."During the…

AI could cause ‘social ruptures’ between people who disagree on its sentience

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Significant “social ruptures” between people who think artificial intelligence systems are conscious and those who insist the technology feels nothing are looming, a leading philosopher has said.The comments, from Jonathan Birch, a professor of philosophy at the London School of Economics, come as governments prepare to gather this week in San Francisco to accelerate the creation of guardrails to tackle the most severe risks of AI.Last week, a transatlantic group of academics predicted that the dawn of consciousness in AI systems is likely by 2035 and one has now said this could result in “subcultures that view each other as…

Beyond bias: Equity, diversity and inclusion must drive AI implementation in the workplace

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries and transform workplaces, it’s imperative that organizations and leaders examine not only its impact on productivity, innovation and economic gains, but also the ethical implications tied to these transformative technologies. Integrating an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) lens into AI systems is no longer a luxury or optional. It’s essential to ensure AI benefits everyone, including equity-deserving groups such as women, Indigenous Peoples, people living with disabilities, Black and racialized people, and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Without this commitment, AI risks reinforcing the existing biases and inequalities, including those based on gender, race, sexual…
