In today’s dynamic and innovative world, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to attract the attention of researchers, entrepreneurs and the technology community. The remarkable advances in AI are bringing new opportunities as well as challenges to us as a society. In this article, we will take a look at the latest news from the world of artificial intelligence to better understand what innovations, breakthroughs and applications are affecting different areas of our lives.
Elon Musk predicts that artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence by 2029
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has made a statement on artificial intelligence, claiming that his new company, xAI, will create artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence by around 2029. Musk stressed that artificial intelligence will have the ability to process faster information and perform complex tasks, surpassing the abilities of the human mind. His intention is to compete with the leaders in artificial intelligence, such as OpenAI and Google.
Artificial intelligence in Israeli military operations
Artificial intelligence is increasingly penetrating into various areas of life, and is becoming a significant element in the military field. Israel’s defense forces have taken covert action in the field of artificial intelligence, using AI tools to designate targets for airstrikes the air and organizing logistics during conflicts. The decision follows a rise in tensions in the region, especially around the occupied territories, and unease over the activities of Iran, which has long been a rival of Israel.
Hollywood: Actors join protesters
Actors in the U.S. have joined screenwriters in expressing their dissatisfaction with artificial intelligence. Concerns about losing their jobs due to advanced algorithms do not only affect actors, but also many other professions. Artificial intelligence is increasingly is penetrating various fields, automating and facilitating many processes. However, this raises concern that as the technology advances, some professions may be threatened.
In addition to actors and screenwriters, other industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, finance or the customer service field, are feeling the pressure of AI on their jobs. Film producers have begun to come out with the controversial idea of using artificial intelligence in the film industry. Their proposal is to create digital actor clones that could replace real artists on screen. Moreover, studios would like to obtain full image rights to these digital characters virtually for free free of charge, merely offering the actors payment for one-time work on set, during which their silhouettes would be scanned.
Such a drastic step toward the use of artificial intelligence in the film industry has been met with a fierce reaction from the workers’ association SAG-AFTRA, which has already announced a strike. Their concerns center on the possible threat to the acting profession and the loss of the the chance for long-term earnings associated with participation in film productions.
ChatGPT accused of copyright infringement
ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI. This model has gained immense popularity due to its ability to generate high-quality texts and answer diverse questions. It is used in a variety of fields, including content editing, data analysis, marketing and many others. Open AI, the company behind the revolutionary ChatGPT, is facing legal action, as American comedy artist Sarah Silverman and two other creators have filed a lawsuit for alleged copyright infringement. The plaintiffs accuse the company of using their work to train artificial intelligence models without permission. The aforementioned individuals also filed a lawsuit against Facebook’s company, Meta, whose less well-known open source models also used downloaded from the internet for training purposes Internet versions of their books. Much of the training material used by OpenAI and Meta “came from copyrighted works – including books written by the plaintiffs – which were copied by OpenAI and Meta without permission, without acknowledgement and without compensation” In both lawsuits, which were filed in a California court, the authors accuse the technology companies of using their books to train artificial intelligence models and claim a number of copyright violations. If these types of cases are successful, it will change the way technology develops technology, limiting the way tech giants can build their models and create compelling, human-like content.
AI robots learn new skills via video
Artificial intelligence is developing at a rapid pace, acquiring new skills and abilities. Now it turns out that AI robots are learning on their own, using video. This discovery could have huge implications for the future of artificial intelligence development and applications. Scientists have built robots that are able to learn new skills by watching videos of humans performing them. The robots can perform tasks, such as opening drawers and lifting knives, after watching a video depicting the activity. The Visual-Robotics Bridge (VRB) method does not requires human supervision and can result in mastering new skills in as little as 25 minutes.
Google AI medical chatbot passes tough medical exam
Google’s AI medical chatbot, based on advanced artificial intelligence, has successfully passed in a difficult U.S. exam. The results of the peer-reviewed study,confirm that AI has succeeded, but its answers still fall short of those given by human doctors. Med-PaLM-2 is a powerful and advanced artificial intelligence-based system that was developed by Google. Its main task is to answer questions asked by doctors and making accurate diagnoses. However, its capabilities don’t just end there. This innovative medical bot can perform a variety of labor-intensive tasks, such as editing medical documents or effectively managing patients. Thanks to this gives doctors support in their daily duties, allowing them to focus on the more complex aspects of patient care. But that’s not all – Google is already working on the next version of this bot, which will be capable of analyzing X-rays and CT scans. This is a huge step into the future, as it will allow for even more precise diagnoses and faster interpretation of test results tests.
China sets strict rules for generative artificial intelligence
Chinese authorities have taken a significant step in managing generative artificial intelligence, outpacing existing regulations applied in other parts of the world. The new rules, published recently, impose strict requirements on operators of generative artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on adhering to the core values of socialism and avoiding content that threatens state power, unity and stability. One of the key aspects of the regulations is the ban on generative artificial intelligence content that incites hatred and discrimination, violence obscenity or false and harmful information. Regarding technology development, rules emphasize the importance of using safe and proven tools, including chips, software, tools, computing power and data resources. Intellectual property rights intellectual property must be respected when using data to develop models, and the explicit consent of individuals is mandatory before incorporating data personal information. The quality, authenticity, accuracy, objectivity and diversity of training data.
Bard now available in Europe
Google has launched Bard – generative artificial intelligence model in Europe. Bard is a powerful tool that can be used to create content creative content, such as poems, scripts, musical pieces, emails, letters, etc., as well as for translating languages, writing various types of creative content and answering questions in an informative manner.
Google says Bard has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and create. The company expects that businesses and organizations will use Bard to generate marketing content, write articles and
create new products. The launch of Bard in Europe is Google’s next step in creating the future of artificial intelligence that is accessible to everyone. The company has pledged to make Bard available free of charge to anyone who wants to use it, and is working to make the model available in multiple languages.
