From higher tariffs to lower taxes, will Donald Trump’s economic plan pay off?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

It’s the economy, stupid. So said James Carville when he was advising Bill Clinton in his 1992 presidential campaign and the phrase is as true now as it was 32 years ago. Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris this week for the same reason he lost to Joe Biden in 2020: millions of Americans were unhappy about the economic record of the incumbent party. Two out of three voters this week thought the US economy was on the wrong track – and that spelt trouble for Harris.The question is whether they will feel any differently at the end of Trump’s second…

Centralised AI is dangerous: how can we stop it? – AI News

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

The intelligence displayed by generative AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT has captured the imagination of individuals and corporations, and artificial intelligence has suddenly become the most exciting area of technology innovation. AI has been recognised as a game changer, with potential to transform many aspects of our lives. From personalised medicine to autonomous vehicles, automated investments to digital assets, the possibilities enabled by AI seem endless. But as transformational as AI will be, there are a lot of risks posed by this new technology. While fears about a malicious, Skynet-style AI system going rogue are misplaced, the dangers of AI…

AI may displace 3m jobs but long-term losses ‘relatively modest’, says thinktank

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Artificial intelligence could displace between 1m and 3m private sector jobs in the UK, though the ultimate rise in unemployment will be in the low hundreds of thousands as growth in the technology also creates new roles, according to Tony Blair’s thinktank.Between 60,000 and 275,000 jobs will be displaced every year over a couple of decades at the peak of the disruption, estimates from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) suggest.It described the figure as “relatively modest” given the average number of job losses in the UK has run at about 450,000 a year over the past decade. More than 33…

Puppygraph speeds up LLMs’ access to graph data insights

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More As enterprises continue to invest heavily in advanced analytics and large language models (LLMs), graph technology has become one of the most favored approaches for setting up the data stack. It allows users to understand complex relationships in their datasets, which are often not apparent in traditional relational databases. However, maintaining and querying graph databases alongside traditional relational databases is quite a hassle (and an expensive one). Today, PuppyGraph, a San Francisco-based startup founded by former Google and LinkedIn employees, raised…

What do people think about smartglasses? New research reveals a complicated picture

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Smartglasses, a type of wearable device, have evolved rapidly since the pioneering yet ill-fated Google Glass received social backlash in 2013. Early adopters were nicknamed “Glassholes”, and the product never reached commercialisation. No one could understand why people would want a weird-looking computer on their face taking photos and recording videos, and getting in the way of social interaction. This is in stark contrast to the design and functionality of new and emerging smartglass technologies, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban Wayfarer Smart Glasses. These are almost indistinguishable from non-computerised eyewear. And while they are not the first to enter the commercial…

Webinar – Transforming Geospatial Intelligence: Data Labeling for AI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Join us November 20 at 1:00 PM EST for a discussion on a groundbreaking initiative from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) — a $700 million investment in data labeling to empower artificial intelligence in geospatial intelligence. NGA’s data labeling initiative is a pivotal part of its mission to harness the power of AI to enhance U.S. defense and intelligence operations. In this session, our panel will dive into how structured, labeled geospatial datasets—like satellite images, maps, and sensor data—are transforming intelligence and operational support. This labeling process provides “ground truth” data that is essential to high-performing AI models, with human…

Could we ever decipher an alien language? Uncovering how AI communicates may be the key

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

In the 2016 science fiction movie Arrival, a linguist is faced with the daunting task of deciphering an alien language consisting of palindromic phrases, which read the same backwards as they do forwards, written with circular symbols. As she discovers various clues, different nations around the world interpret the messages differently – with some assuming they convey a threat. If humanity ended up in such a situation today, our best bet may be to turn to research uncovering how artificial intelligence (AI) develops languages. But what exactly defines a language? Most of us use at least one to communicate with…
