Using AI to Keep Scammers and Fraudsters (a Little More) Honest

Using AI to Keep Scammers and Fraudsters (a Little More) Honest

(Cinemato/Shutterstock) Fraudsters and scammers have had a good run lately according to the FTC, which found Americans lost $10 billion to frauds and scams in 2023, a 14% increase over the year before. But victims and law enforcement are fighting back with data and AI, and two startups named Valid8 and Scamnetic are hoping to make a dent. There are important differences between frauds and scams, and different legal liabilities provide different incentive structures to eliminate them. For instance, if you fall victim to fraud, such as a cybercriminal stealing your identity and opening a new credit card account in…

How can we build human values into AI?

How can we build human values into AI?

Responsibility & Safety Published 24 April 2023 Authors Iason Gabriel and Kevin McKee Drawing from philosophy to identify fair principles for ethical AIAs artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more powerful and more deeply integrated into our lives, the questions of how it is used and deployed are all the more important. What values guide AI? Whose values are they? And how are they selected?These questions shed light on the role played by principles – the foundational values that drive decisions big and small in AI. For humans, principles help shape the way we live our lives and our sense of right…

Why ‘All Eyes On Rafah’ went viral – and why you need to be careful when sharing AI images

Why ‘All Eyes On Rafah’ went viral – and why you need to be careful when sharing AI images

What do supermodel Bella Hadid, actor Mark Ruffalo, racing driver Lewis Hamilton and approximately 47 million people have in common? They all reposted the viral “All Eyes on Rafah” picture on their social media platforms. The image, generated by artificial intelligence (AI), depicted tent camps for displaced Palestinians stretching out into the horizon, overlaid with the phrase “All Eyes on Rafah”. The phrase itself comes from World Health Organization representative Dr Richard “Rik” Peeperkorn, who said that “all eyes” were on Rafah when speaking to journalists back in February. The graphic was created by a Malaysian Instagram user (known by…

Microsoft needs to make Windows 11’s Recall feature opt-in – gHacks Tech News

As it stands right now, the new Recall AI feature of Windows 11 will be enabled by default when it launches officially later this year. While limited to PCs that sport the Copilot+ PCs label, it will capture the screen of those PCs in five second intervals from the get-go. The AI will capture almost everything on the screen by default. The only exception is activity in private browsing sessions of several popular browsers. Users may block access to certain apps, but this needs to be done manually. The captures are stored locally only according to Microsoft. Furthermore, they are protected…

The Impact of Ontology on the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease Compared to Machine Learning Algorithms

The Impact of Ontology on the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease Compared to Machine Learning Algorithms

arXiv:2405.20414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is one of the chronic diseases that is on the rise. The complications occur when cardiovascular disease is not discovered early and correctly diagnosed at the right time. Various machine learning approaches, including ontology-based Machine Learning techniques, have lately played an essential role in medical science by building an automated system that can identify heart illness. This paper compares and reviews the most prominent machine learning algorithms, as well as ontology-based Machine Learning classification. Random Forest, Logistic regression, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbours, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine were among…

X now permits AI-generated adult content

X now permits AI-generated adult content

Social media network X has updated its rules to formally permit users to share consensually-produced AI-generated NSFW content, provided it is clearly labelled. This change aligns with previous experiments under Elon Musk’s leadership, which involved hosting adult content within specific communities. “We believe that users should be able to create, distribute, and consume material related to sexual themes as long as it is consensually produced and distributed. Sexual expression, visual or written, can be a legitimate form of artistic expression,” X’s updated ‘adult content’ policy states. The policy further elaborates: “We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with…
