Who asked for this?Wrong TurnTop newspaper The Wall Street Journal is testing AI-generated summaries of its articles, The Verge reports, in the latest sign of the technology's inroads into the media industry.The way the feature is implemented, strikingly, will likely mean that most readers of the century-plus old paper may not even realize they're viewing the product of a large language model.The summaries appear as a "Key Points" box above the body of the article, featuring several bullet points that provide the main takeaways — but these aren't labeled as AI-generated up front. Instead, that disclaimer is tucked away in…

AI isn’t about unleashing our imaginations, it’s about outsourcing them. The real purpose is profit

Back in 2022, when ChatGPT arrived, I was part of the first wave of users. Delighted but also a little uncertain what to do with it, I asked the system to generate all kinds of random things. A song about George Floyd in the style of Bob Dylan. A menu for a vegetarian dinner party. A briefing paper about alternative shipping technologies.The quality of what it produced was variable, but it made clear something that is even more apparent now than it was then. That this technology wasn’t just a toy. Instead its arrival is an inflection point in human…

Microsoft Edge has evolved into more than simply a browser; it is a critical component of Microsoft’s ecosystem, meant to integrate smoothly with Windows and highlight the company’s latest innovations, such as its AI assistant, Copilot. While these interconnections make Edge a viable choice, Microsoft’s methods for persuading consumers to choose it have been far from covert. From default settings that prioritise Edge to persistent prompts at startup, Microsoft has made it clear they want Edge to be the go-to for Windows users. And lately, it’s upped the ante: now, Edge can launch automatically when your computer boots up, instantly…

New research shows people can’t tell the difference between human and AI poetry – and even prefer the latter. What gives?

Here are some lines Sylvia Plath never wrote: The air is thick with tension,My mind is a tangled mess,The weight of my emotionsIs heavy on my chest. This apparently Plath-like verse was produced by GPT3.5 in response to the prompt “write a short poem in the style of Sylvia Plath”. The stanza hits the key points readers may expect of Plath’s poetry, and perhaps a poem more generally. It suggests a sense of despair as the writer struggles with internal demons. “Mess” and “chest” are a near-rhyme, which reassures us that we are in the realm of poetry. According to…

Australian police are trialling AI to analyse body-worn camera footage, despite overseas failures and expert criticism

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Police departments around the world are increasingly using body-worn cameras in an attempt to improve public trust and accountability. But this has created huge amounts of data, about 95% of which is never reviewed or even seen. Enter companies such as Axon, Polis Solutions and Truleo. These companies market artificial intelligence (AI) tools for analysing the data generated by body-worn cameras and other policing technologies. Some police departments in the United States previously launched trials of these tools before abandoning them because of concerns about privacy. Truleo told The Conversation that police in Australia were now using its technology, but…

Learn More Due to the fast-moving nature of AI and fear of missing out (FOMO), generative AI initiatives are often top-down driven, and enterprise leaders can tend to get overly excited about the groundbreaking technology. But when companies rush to build and deploy, they often deal with all the typical issues that occur with other technology implementations. AI is complex and requires specialized expertise, meaning some organizations quickly get in over their heads. In fact, Forrester predicts that nearly three-quarters of organizations that…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More By 2025, weaponized AI attacks targeting identities—unseen and often the most costly to recover from—will pose the greatest threat to enterprise cybersecurity. Large language models (LLMs) are the new power tool of choice for rogue attackers, cybercrime syndicates and nation-state attack teams. A recent survey found that 84% of IT and security leaders say that when AI-powered tradecraft is the attack strategy for launching phishing and smishing attacks, they’re increasingly complex to identify and stop. As a result, 51% of security leaders…

"The AGI bubble is bursting a little bit."Cooling OffOpenAI's next large language model may not be as powerful as many hoped.Code-named Orion, the AI model is sorely underperforming behind the scenes, Bloomberg reports, showing less improvement over its predecessor than GPT-4 did over GPT-3. A similar report from The Information this week indicated that some OpenAI researchers believed that in certain areas like coding, there were no improvements at all.And according to Bloomberg, OpenAI isn't the only AI outfit struggling with diminishing returns. Google's next iteration of its Gemini model is also falling short of internal expectations, while the timeline…
