<p>AI researchers at Microsoft have committed a grave error, as revealed in a recent report by cloud security company Wiz. The Microsoft AI research team inadvertently disclosed a massive&nbsp;38 terabytes of the company's confidential data.</p>

<p>Among the exposed data were complete backups of two employees' computers, housing sensitive personal information such as passwords for Microsoft services, secret keys, and over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages from more than 350 Microsoft employees, reported Mashable.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>So, how did this&nbsp;incident occur?</strong></h2>

<p>According to the report, the Microsoft AI team uploaded a repository of training data containing open-source code and AI models designed for image recognition. Users stumbling upon this Github repository acquired&nbsp;a link from Azure, Microsoft's cloud storage service, enabling them to download these models.</p>

<p>However, a critical flaw cropped up:&nbsp;the link provided by Microsoft's AI team granted visitors unrestricted access to the entire Azure storage account. This meant that visitors not only had the ability to browse through all the content&nbsp;within the account but also had the power to upload, overwrite, or delete files at their discretion.</p>

<p>Wiz said this vulnerability stemmed from an Azure feature known as Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens, which essentially offers a signed URL for accessing Azure Storage data. The SAS token could have been configured with specific limitations governing which files could be accessed. The link in question had been configured with full access rights.</p>

<p>Compounding the issue, Wiz noted that this data had seemingly been exposed since 2020. This extended period of exposure significantly amplified the potential risks associated with the breach.</p>

<p>In the ever-evolving realm of healthcare, a transformative revolution is unfolding, one that centres on addressing the unique needs and complexities faced by women. At its core, this paradigm shift finds its epicentre in the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), poised to redefine the landscape of women's health, both in terms of its management and celebration.</p>

<h2>Unveiling the Power of Early Detection and Diagnosis</h2>

<p>Mammography, a cornerstone of breast health, is on the verge of a new era driven by AI-driven innovations. A recent preliminary study has highlighted the remarkable potential of AI in the field of breast cancer detection. Published in The Lancet Oncology, this study provides compelling evidence that AI can significantly enhance doctors' abilities to identify breast cancers through mammograms. Collaborating with radiologists, AI managed to identify 20 per cent more cancers compared to radiologists working alone.</p>

<p>Equally promising, integrating AI resulted in a significant 44 per cent reduction in radiologists' workload. While this study emphasises AI's strength as a robust tool, it equally underscores the indispensable value of radiologists' clinical expertise, suggesting that AI should be embraced as a supportive assistant rather than a replacement. The study's findings resonate with AI's broader potential across various medical applications, showcasing its ability to rapidly and consistently process large amounts of data.</p>

<p>These outcomes open up further avenues for exploration and collaboration between AI systems and medical professionals, envisioning a future where AI enhances specialists' ability to decipher complex health issues such as breast cancer, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes through early detection.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Crafting Personalised Precision: Tailoring Treatment for Women</h2>

<p>Analysing individual patient data through AI-powered methods allows tailored treatment approaches for women. Doctors can create personalised treatment plans by factoring genetic markers, lifestyle habits, and medical history into consideration thanks to AI. With personalised medicine, this strategy offers the possibility of enhancing healthcare for women by mitigating risks and meeting their specialised needs. Personalised medicine made possible by AI holds great promise for those affected by endometriosis, who number in the countless.</p>

<h2>Mastering Menstrual Cycles: Beyond Fertility</h2>

<p>AI technology has become a crucial ally for women in understanding and tracking their menstrual cycles, supporting fertility planning, and more. Employing AI algorithms, apps like Flo and Clue offer predictions about ovulation, furnish fertility intelligence, and provide personalised suggestions focused on optimising reproductive wellness. With this growth, women have the freedom to decide about their reproduction route, choosing knowledgeable resolutions connected to family planning or clinical intervention if important.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-how-robotic-joint-replacement-is-transforming-orthopaedic-surgery-636236">How robotic joint replacement is transforming orthopaedic surgery</a></strong></p>

<h2>Supporting Pregnancy: Continuous Vigilance and Intervention</h2>

<p>Throughout pregnancy, real-time vigilance and proactive assistance are vital for ensuring maternal well-being. This is especially important when addressing conditions like gestational diabetes, which affects 10–14 per cent of pregnancies in the UK, according to a recent report by the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group UK (DIPSI). After giving birth, women often experience various changes, including ongoing concerns such as urinary incontinence due to weakened pelvic muscles and discomfort resulting from routine practices like episiotomies during vaginal deliveries. Unfortunately, post-pregnancy care often lacks attention, leaving women uninformed about potential complications.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The introduction of AI holds promise for tackling these challenges by enabling real-time monitoring and tailored interventions. AI-powered systems can provide customised insights, continuous health monitoring, and personalised exercise routines to mitigate risks. By highlighting the often overlooked aspect of post-pregnancy outcomes, AI-driven support has the potential to empower women by effectively managing risks and enhancing their overall well-being.</p>

<h2>Supporting Mental Health: AI as an Open-Minded Companion</h2>

<p>Utilising AI as an open-minded mental health companion presents an innovative avenue full of potential. AI offers continuous accessibility, delivering immediate assistance outside of traditional therapy hours. It creates a non-judgmental space where women can openly express thoughts and emotions, serving as a refuge for those hesitant to share their feelings. Through unbiased listening, AI provides validation and understanding, along with tailored coping mechanisms aligned with cultural inclinations and individual needs.</p>

<p>A recent survey conducted by the mental health platform miindmymiind.com revealed that a significant number of women recognise the need for psychological support but are reluctant to seek professional help. Among the surveyed women, approximately 62 per cent acknowledged the need for psychological support, yet only 9 per cent actually sought professional assistance. This pattern aligns with previous studies highlighting the increasing prevalence of mental illness in women, with one in five women experiencing common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AI's ability for mood monitoring, crisis intervention, and delivering mental health educational content equips women with the tools to take proactive steps in managing their mental well-being. In immersive experiences, AI-driven virtual reality platforms can facilitate exposure therapy, supporting women in navigating and moderating anxieties specific to their cultural and societal context.</p>

<p>However, while AI holds significant promise, its role should be one of support, not a substitute for human interaction and expert guidance. Ethical considerations, data privacy, and well-informed user consent are crucial when developing AI applications tailored to the mental health needs of women. Collaborative efforts involving AI experts, mental health professionals, and individuals with relevant experiences are essential for creating culturally attuned and effective AI-driven mental health support systems. By fostering this collaborative synergy, AI can become a trusted companion, offering invaluable support as women navigate their unique paths towards mental well-being.</p>

<p>The rise of AI and ML in women's health management marks an era of personalised, proactive, and empowering care. Real-world examples underscore the profound impact these technologies have across the spectrum of women's health — from early detection and customised treatment to enhancing mental health support and advancing research. As we move forward, collaboration among healthcare experts, researchers, technologists, and policymakers will be crucial in unlocking the full potential of AI and ML. Together, we are shaping a future where women's health is revered, strengthened, and safeguarded, and where AI and ML stand as steadfast allies on this remarkable journey.</p>

AI and Machine Learning in women's health management: Pioneering the future

<p dir="ltr">In a realm where innovation reigns supreme, the ghost of an old adage still whispers in the wind: "Shrink It and Pink It." Once a dictum for product design, it now silently weaves its threads into the very heart of Artificial Intelligence (AI), blurring the lines between antiquity and advancement. As we stand on the cusp of an AI-driven era, the question looms large: How does a belief rooted in yesteryears remain steadfast in the face of technology's rapid evolution?</p>

<p dir="ltr">Behold the convergence of past prejudice and present progress, where the hues of pink and the art of "shrinking" transmute into digitized dogma. The same sentiments that once pigeonholed women's interests into dainty boxes now insidiously taint AI responses, entangling our digital future with historical biases. It's a cautionary tale of how the tides of change don't always wash away the footprints of the past.</p>

<p dir="ltr">In this exposé, we embark on an exploration that transcends mere problem identification. We voyage from the origins of "Shrink It and Pink It" to the disturbing underbelly of AI responses that mirror the sexism of the past. But here, our journey isn't one of despair – it's a beacon of hope. We're peeling back the layers to showcase the stories of the women who've stormed the bastions of technology and AI, carving their names on a landscape once dominated by a singular gender.</p>

<h2><strong>A bleak outlook for women</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr">Gender bias in AI is an ominous cloud overshadowing the realm of artificial intelligence. It threatens to deepen the longstanding gender divide. Alarming reports worldwide paint a grim picture of how AI could adversely affect women.</p>

<ul>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr">A recent McKinsey report rings the alarm: The AI surge might disproportionately displace women from the workforce by the decade's end. American women, in particular, could bear the brunt of AI-induced job losses, exposing a stark gender bias in AI's impact distribution.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr">The World Economic Forum (WEF), a global gender equality advocate, delivers equally sobering news. The Global Gender Gap Report 2022 predicts gender equality to remain a distant dream, with a staggering 132-year wait. Progress, albeit present, crawls at a frustratingly slow pace.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr">Beneath these troubling statistics lies a glaring underrepresentation of women in AI and tech. UNESCO's 2019 data reveals that merely 12% of AI researchers are women. In the software development realm, women occupy a mere 6% of the workforce. Shockingly, women are 13 times less likely to file ICT patents compared to their male counterparts.</p>
	</li>

<h2><strong>Women leading the charge against gender bias in AI</strong></h2>

<p>In the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), gender bias has emerged as a critical concern. Three remarkable women in the AI domain, Dr Fairoza Amira Binti Hamzah, an AI Engineer and AI Ambassador in Malaysia; Shruti Nagpal, a Research Scientist at Sony AI renowned for her contributions to AI ethics and creativity; and Dr Begüm Genç-McEvoy, a Data Scientist and Ambassador for Women in AI Ireland, have provided valuable insights.</p>

<p>Dr Begüm Genç-McEvoy emphasises that AI models inherit biases from human-generated data, stating,&nbsp;"These models inherit the sexist and anti-feminist responses that are introduced by humans, who are the source of the data."&nbsp;This includes biases such as sexism and anti-feminism.</p>

<p>Dr Fairoza Amira Binti Hamzah highlights the importance of training data, which can introduce gender bias into AI responses. She points out that using female names and voices for AI assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri can further reinforce stereotypes about women, stating,&nbsp;"The data and labelling often exhibit bias, leading the model to learn from incorrect data, ultimately resulting in erroneous predictions."</p>

<p>Addressing biased AI responses, Dr Begüm Genç-McEvoy calls for a balance between innovation and ethics in AI development. Shruti Nagpal adds that AI models are continually evolving, emphasizing that&nbsp;"AI models are a work in progress."</p>

<p>Dr Fairoza Amira Binti Hamzah stresses that combatting anti-feminist and sexist AI statements requires more than user feedback. She suggests retraining AI models on diverse datasets and educating users about AI bias.</p>

<p>Dr Shruti underlines that&nbsp;"AI is a potent tool, provided it is used appropriately and responsibly."&nbsp;She emphasizes that AI-induced gender bias can significantly hinder global gender equality, affecting various aspects of life, from job opportunities to loan approvals.</p>

<p>Regarding advancing gender parity, Dr Fairoza Amira Binti Hamzah notes that there are more female AI researchers than developers in Malaysia due to academic preferences. Dr Genç-McEvoy highlights the need to address the decline of women in higher-level positions and recommends creating female-only academic positions and targeted recruitment in companies.</p>

<p>In building inclusive AI models, Dr Genç-McEvoy encourages developers to adopt trustworthy AI principles and assemble diverse teams that question and research freely.</p>

<p>Dr Hamzah insists on<strong>&nbsp;</strong>"holding AI developers accountable for the ethical implications of their work, having a diverse team of developers working on AI systems, and incorporating fairness metrics into the design of AI systems"<strong>&nbsp;</strong>to ensure responsible AI evolution.</p>

<p>Dr. Hamzah also emphasizes the roles of governments, the private sector, and AI organizations in promoting gender equality in AI, highlighting the importance of policies, STEM education for girls, mentorship programs, and equitable hiring practices.</p>

<p>These visionary women illustrate that addressing gender bias in AI is a multifaceted challenge, but through education, diversity, and collaborative efforts, meaningful progress is attainable. They serve as inspiring catalysts, leading the way towards a more inclusive AI-driven society.</p>

<h2><strong>Crafting an equitable future</strong></h2>

<p>In the echoing chambers of AI, gender bias reverberates, threatening to cast shadows on the future. But in these echoes, there's a call to action—a promise of progress. To dismantle gender bias in AI, we must first recognize its existence, understand its roots, and acknowledge the role of data and developers in perpetuating bias.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The path forward isn't solely about combating bias but also about creating a technology landscape where everyone has a seat at the table. In this ever-evolving narrative, the conclusion remains open-ended. The question now echoes: Will AI become a realm of equality, or will it merely amplify the biases of the past? The answer lies in our hands, our code, and our commitment to progress. It's a future where the echo of "Shrink It and Pink It" is replaced by the harmony of diversity, equality, and innovation.</p>

In a realm where innovation reigns supreme, the ghost of an old adage still whispers in the wind: "Shrink It and Pink It." Once a dictum for product design, it now silently weaves its threads into the very heart of Artificial Intelligence (AI), blurring the lines between antiquity and advancement.

In a realm where innovation reigns supreme, the ghost of an old adage still whispers in the wind: "Shrink It and Pink It." Once a dictum for product design, it now silently weaves its threads into the very heart of Artificial Intelligence (AI), blurring the lines between antiquity and advancement. As we stand on the cusp of an AI-driven era, the question looms large: How does a belief rooted in yesteryears remain steadfast in the face of technology's rapid evolution? Behold the convergence of past prejudice and present progress, where the hues of pink and the art of "shrinking" transmute into digitized dogma. The same sentiments that once pigeonholed women's interests into dainty boxes now insidiously taint AI responses, entangling our digital future with historical biases. It's a cautionary tale of how the tides of change don't always wash away the footprints of the past. In this exposé, we embark on an exploration that transcends mere problem identification. We voyage from the origins of "Shrink It and Pink It" to the disturbing underbelly of AI responses that mirror the sexism of the past. But here, our journey isn't one of despair – it's a beacon of hope. We're peeling back the layers to showcase the stories of the women who've stormed the bastions of technology and AI, carving their names on a landscape once dominated by a singular gender. A bleak outlook for women Gender bias in AI is an ominous cloud overshadowing the realm of artificial intelligence. It threatens to deepen the longstanding gender divide. Alarming reports worldwide paint a grim picture of how AI could adversely affect women. A recent McKinsey report rings the alarm: The AI surge might disproportionately displace women from the workforce by the decade's end. American women, in particular, could bear the brunt of AI-induced job losses, exposing a stark gender bias in AI's impact distribution. The World Economic Forum (WEF), a global gender equality advocate, delivers equally sobering news. The Global Gender Gap Report 2022 predicts gender equality to remain a distant dream, with a staggering 132-year wait. Progress, albeit present, crawls at a frustratingly slow pace. Beneath these troubling statistics lies a glaring underrepresentation of women in AI and tech. UNESCO's 2019 data reveals that merely 12% of AI researchers are women. In the software development realm, women occupy a mere 6% of the workforce. Shockingly, women are 13 times less likely to file ICT patents compared to their male counterparts. These reports unveil a bleak narrative—a future where AI could amplify gender disparities. The question that resounds through these findings isn't just about AI's capabilities but the ethical responsibility to ensure AI's advancement doesn't further marginalize women. When code reflects culture's shadows Picture this: a world where technology, that most modern of marvels, not only listens but also perpetuates the same age-old stereotypes that have plagued society for generations.

Breaking biases: Unveiling persistent echo of 'shrink it and pink it' in AI, championed by women for change

Tech's most influential leaders have converged on Capitol Hill, and the message is clear: artificial intelligence needs a referee. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, alongside Mark Zuckerberg of Meta platforms and Sundar Pichai from Alphabet, joined forces with over 60 senators to discuss the pressing need for AI regulation.

Tech Titans urge AI regulation

<p>Top tech titans in the US met the lawmakers on Wednesday (September 13) at Capitol Hill to discuss artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Bill Gates and Sam Altman were among those who attended the forum.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader of the US Senate, invited the tech bigwigs to draw up legislation to better control the technology. Schumer has planned a series of closed-door AI Innovation forums,&nbsp; where the pros and cons of the technology would&nbsp;be debated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Today, we begin an enormous and complex and vital undertaking: building a foundation for bipartisan AI policy that Congress can pass," Schumer told the meeting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tesla boss Musk, known for his critical views regarding AI, praised Schumer for the forum before stating that a 'referee' was needed to regulate the technology.&nbsp;</p>

Meta is developing a new, more powerful AI system: Report

<p>Imbue, a startup building large language models to power artificial intelligence tools, has raised $200 million from investors, including Nvidia, at a valuation of over $1 billion.</p>

<p>The CEO of General Motors's self-driving unit cruise, Kyle Vogt, participated in the investment round, which was headed by Jed Mccaleb's Astera Institute, a charity formed by the cryptocurrency millionaire.&nbsp;</p>

<p>US publication Forbes reported that the sum was 10 times the amount the firm had previously raised.</p>

<p>As a reflection of the hype around artificial intelligence and the hefty expenses of training AI models using massive troves of web data, Imbue is one of a rising number of ai firms receiving significant rounds this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To keep up with larger tech firms in the areas of model development and deployment, startups like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and Inflection AI have raised hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>

<p>"Cash is much easier to come by than compute. We managed to get our compute quite early because we saw this coming. We are very excited to have both," Imbue co-founder and CEO Kanjun Qiu said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Qiu, "all cash" was used for Nvidia's investment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Imbue boasts that it has access to 10,000 of Nvidia's high-powered graphics processing units (GPUs), which are much sought after by AI firms developing huge language models.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Qiu has founded two more companies: Sourceress, an AI recruitment firm, and Ember Hardware, a virtual reality hardware company.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The firm is unusual in that its CEO is a woman, and it is an AI unicorn. The term unicorn is used when a startup is valued over $1 billion.</p>

<p>Imbue, formerly known as Generally Intelligent, is dedicated to developing so-called artificially intelligent agents with the capacity to reason and think.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the increased interest in AI chatbots like ChatGPT, the tools at their disposal might be hindered by inaccurate and even illogical replies.&nbsp;</p>

ChatGPT losing hype already? Website traffic drops for third consecutive month

Artificial intelligence will be used to spot sleepy students in a school in Japan. Technology cannot and should not be used to monitor and control children, says Priyanka Sharma.

Gravitas: AI is spying on students

There is certainly some cause for concern about Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated cyber-attacks, malware, highly convincing information manipulation, and scams that can be deployed cheaply and at a formidable scale using these tools, India said in a statement at the conclusion of the G20 conference on cyber security.

At G-20 meet, India presses for responsible use of AI technology

<p>In a Kremlin document published on Thursday (September 7), Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a directive to bolster research and development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).</p>

<p>This move comes as Russia faces increasing competition with Western nations in the quest to advance AI technologies. Here, we delve into the details of Putin's directive.</p>

<h2><strong>Rising interest in generative AI</strong></h2>

<p>The push for AI development gained significant momentum in late 2022 when the US-produced ChatGPT, powered by generative AI technology, showcased its remarkable ability to engage in human-like conversations. This demonstration prompted Russia to embark on its own AI development journey.</p>

<h2><strong>Supporting AI research</strong></h2>

<p>According to the Kremlin document, President Putin has instructed the Russian government to take concrete actions to support AI research. Among these measures is the allocation of annual funds from the federal budget. This financial support aims to accelerate AI research and development within the country.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/un-calls-for-strict-rules-on-use-of-ai-tools-in-schools-633139">UN calls for strict rules on use of AI tools in schools</a></p>

<h2><strong>Focus areas: Machine learning and language models</strong></h2>

<p>The directive outlines specific areas of AI research that require attention. Firstly, it emphasises the need to optimise machine learning algorithms, which are fundamental to AI development. Additionally, the document highlights the importance of creating large language models, similar to the achievement of OpenAI's ChatGPT. These language models have the potential to revolutionise natural language understanding and generation.</p>

<p>To expedite progress in AI, Putin's directive also calls upon state-owned companies to expedite the deployment of AI technologies. Furthermore, it encourages the establishment of "supercomputers" in Russia. The government will provide incentives to domestic manufacturers to support the creation of these high-performance computing systems.</p>

<p>President Putin has consistently stressed the importance of achieving "technological sovereignty" for Russia. This objective is becoming increasingly critical, especially as Western sanctions, stemming from the Ukraine conflict, hinder Moscow's access to vital computer components, including semiconductors.</p>

<h2><strong>Russia's foray into AI: Gigachat</strong></h2>

<p>In April, Russia's largest banking institution, Sber, made headlines by announcing the launch of its own conversational AI application called "Gigachat." While currently in a testing phase, this development signifies Russia's growing interest in AI innovation.</p>

<p>The success of ChatGPT has ignited a global race in AI development. Leading tech giants, including Google, swiftly introduced their chatbot counterparts, while investors have poured substantial capital into diverse AI projects worldwide.</p>

<p>Argentinian publicist Santiago Barros is using artificial intelligence to create adulthood images of children who were taken from their parents four decades ago during Argentina's military dictatorship.</p>

<p>Barros uploads these images almost every day on an Instagram&nbsp;account called iabuelas. The name is a portmanteau in Spanish for artificial intelligence or IA and grandmother, or abuela. The name is also inspired by the well-known activist group Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. The activist group searches for missing children.</p>

<p>“We have seen the photos of most of the disappeared, but we don’t have photos of their children, of those children who were stolen,” Barros told The Associated Press. “It struck me that these people did not have a face.”</p>

<p>During the years of dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) there was a systematic theft of babies of political dissidents carried out by military officials. These dissidents were detained or often executed. The babies were then raised by families linked to the dictatorship as if they were their own.</p>

<p>Barros used an app called Midjourney and combined photos of the disappeared fathers and mothers from the public archive of the Grandmothers website. He created images showing what the faces of these children, now in adulthood, would look like.</p>

<p>For each combination, the app shows two female and two male possibilities.</p>

<p>Barros then chooses the image of each gender that seems most realistic.</p>

<p>The project is not an attempt to replace efforts headed by the Grandmothers group of identifying grandchildren through DNA testing but the goal is to stir the conscience of those over 46 who may be doubtful about their origin and to serve as a reminder of the more than four decades the grandmothers have spent trying to locate these children.</p>

<p>As per the estimate by the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, around 500 children were taken from their parents during the dictatorship years. The group has been able to locate 133 grandchildren through genetic analysis.</p>

<p>The group has appreciated Barros' initiative as it seeks to raise awareness about the children. The group warns that the only sure-shot way to link these people with their families was DNA testing which the group continues to carry out.</p>

<p>In addition to working with photos from the Grandmothers’ archives, Barros uses photographic material provided by interested parties.</p>

<p>In some cases, those who have accessed iabuelas have noticed in the images a tendency towards standardisation, raising questions about their approximation to reality. But in others, families searching for a lost relative have been shocked by the resemblance they found in those faces to blood relatives.</p>
