AI and criminal justice: How AI can support — not undermine — justice

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Interpol Secretary General Jürgen Stock recently warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is facilitating crime on an “industrial scale” using deepfakes, voice simulation and phony documents. Police around the world are also turning to AI tools such as facial recognition, automated licence plate readers, gunshot detection systems, social media analysis and even police robots. AI use by lawyers is similarly “skyrocketing” as judges adopt new guidelines for using AI. While AI promises to transform criminal justice by increasing operational efficiency and improving public safety, it also comes with risks related to privacy, accountability, fairness and human rights. Concerns about AI bias…

Getting systems to simulate flight behavior in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | Sebastian Wloch interview

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the ambitious flight sim game that debuts today, the physics and environmental systems are far more sophisticated than the 2020 version. Part of the reason is that there is just a lot more horsepower available from the internet-connected cloud data centers to solve tough computing simulations. Back in 2020, with the previous flight simulator game, Microsoft only handled part of the processing through the cloud as it added more ground data from faraway data centers to…

Four ways in which history and religion are being transformed by the metaverse and AI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Imagine getting a live art class from Leonardo da Vinci, or having a fully interactive discussion about the meaning of life with Socrates. You can now do this in your living room with a laptop and headset through startups like Ireland’s Engage XR and Sweden’s Hello History, combining the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse. Tradition and technology have often been seen as distinct and even counterfactual, but clearly these technologies are now blurring the lines in ways that can alter how humans engage with cultural heritage. Here are four emerging trends in this space: 1. New kinds…

An 83-year-old short story by Borges portends a bleak future for the internet

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

How will the internet evolve in the coming decades? Fiction writers have explored some possibilities. In his 2019 novel “Fall,” science fiction author Neal Stephenson imagined a near future in which the internet still exists. But it has become so polluted with misinformation, disinformation and advertising that it is largely unusable. Characters in Stephenson’s novel deal with this problem by subscribing to “edit streams” – human-selected news and information that can be considered trustworthy. The drawback is that only the wealthy can afford such bespoke services, leaving most of humanity to consume low-quality, noncurated online content. To some extent, this…

Connecting the Dots | More data storage, more space AI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Expanding data storage in space is crucial for enabling more powerful artificial intelligence systems to process larger volumes of information directly from orbit. More capable hard drives would facilitate faster and more insightful analysis from space by reducing the need to download data to the ground for processing. “It’s useful both with AI training and with inference,” said Jon Trantham, principal technologist at data storage specialist Seagate. “Having a large pool of data available, and then potentially having it augmented with AI processing hardware, we think is … a new application for space.”Inter-satellite links, which allow spacecraft to relay data…

Generative AI: Disparities between C-suite and practitioners

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

A report by Publicis Sapient sheds light on the disparities between the C-suite and practitioners, dubbed the “V-suite,” in their perceptions and adoption of generative AI. The report reveals a stark contrast in how the C-suite and V-suite view the potential of generative AI. While the C-suite focuses on visible use cases such as customer experience, service, and sales, the V-suite sees opportunities across various functional areas, including operations, HR, and finance. Risk perception The divide extends to risk perception as well. Fifty-one percent of C-level respondents expressed more concern about the risk and ethics of generative AI than other…

It’s the new badge of celebrity status that nobody wants. Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey and Kylie Jenner have all had their voices cloned by fraudsters. Online blaggers used artificial intelligence to fake the Tiggerish tones of Martin Lewis, the TV financial adviser. And this weekend David Attenborough described himself as “profoundly disturbed” to have discovered that his cloned voice had been used to deliver partisan US news bulletins.AI-generated David Attenborough voice used to report on Donald Trump – videoNow experts have warned that voice-cloning is outpacing the law as technologists hone previously clunky voice generators into models capable of emulating…
