In a world of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology, human agency will hold an advantage to win in the future when it comes to rewards, according to the world's leading Society of Music Recording Academy, which is making several changes to their Grammy Awards. One of the major changes will be that only human creators can win the music industry's highest honour. The restriction was established following a board meeting where it was decided that works using AI elements are only admissible if a human has made a significant contribution to the music or lyrics.

Human contribution necessary for eligibility of Grammy nomination

Google one of ai's biggest backers is warning its own employees about the use of chatbots. The news comes at a time when the tech giant is also simultaneously promoting its own chatbot-program called Bard and is doing that globally. Watch this report to know why.

Google urges caution with AI chatbots

One of artificial intelligence's biggest boosters, Google, is cautioning its own employees against using chatbots. Yes, and according to sources, Google is encouraging staff to refrain from entering sensitive data into AI conversation bots like board and chart GPT in order to secure sensitive data while the internet giant is also promoting its own chatbot programme called Bard internationally.

Tech giant Microsoft has just gotten bigger in terms of market valuation. Its shares rose straight to record-high on Thursday, all thanks to the market optimism around Artificial Intelligence.

AI: Microsoft's ticket to prosperity | World DNA

<p>The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has caused both excitement and consternation among tech enthusiasts and businessmen. Though one can’t deny the merits of AI, there are still, concerns about the profound impacts it may have on humans.</p>

<p>This notion was recently expressed by top CEOs in the United States who said that the AI could pose an existential threat to humanity in the next 5 to 10 years.</p>

<p>In a poll conducted during the Yale CEO Summit this week, 42 per cent of the top business honchos have said that AI can wipe out humanity.</p>

<p>The responses came from 119 CEOs from a cross-section of business, including Walmart CEO Doug McMillion, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincy, the leaders of IT companies like Xerox and Zoom as well as CEOs from pharmaceutical, media and manufacturing, CNN reported.</p>

<h2><strong>‘It's pretty dark and alarming’</strong></h2>

<p>“It’s pretty dark and alarming,” Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld told CNN, while talking about the findings.</p>

<p>Sonnenfeld’s Chief Executive Leadership Institute found that business leaders displayed a sharp divide over just how dangerous AI is to civilisation.</p>

<p>The findings stated that 34 per cent of CEOs said AI could potentially destroy humanity in 10 years, while 8 per cent said that it could happen in five years. A majority of 58 per cent, surveyed said that they are “not worried” about it.</p>

<p>In a separate question, around 42 per cent of the CEOs surveyed said that potential catastrophe of AI is overstated, while 58 per cent said it is not overstated, the Yale findings revealed.</p>

<h2><strong>Extinction risk</strong></h2>

<p>The development comes a few weeks after dozens of tech leaders, academics and some celebrities sounded alarm over the potential “extinction” risk from AI.</p>

<p>In a statement signed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—the creator of GPT—Geoffrey Hinton, called the “godfather of AI” and top executives from Google and Microsoft, called for society to take steps to guard against the dangers of AI.</p>

<p>"Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war," a group of scientists and tech industry leaders said in a&nbsp;statement&nbsp;that was posted on the Center for AI Safety's website.</p>

<p>This came after a separate statement in March and now signed by more than 30,000 people, where tech executives and researchers called for a six-month pause on training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, the latest version of the ChatGPT chatbot.</p>

<p>"Advanced AI could represent a profound change in the history of life on Earth, and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care and resources," the letter warned.</p>

<p>Meta Platforms said on Tuesday that it would provide researchers with access to components of a new "human-like" artificial intelligence model that it said can analyse and complete unfinished images more accurately than existing models.</p>

<p>The model, I-JEPA, uses background knowledge about the world to fill in missing pieces of images, rather than looking only at nearby pixels like other generative AI models, the company said.</p>

<p>That approach incorporates the kind of human-like reasoning advocated by Meta's top AI scientist Yann LeCun and helps the technology to avoid errors that are common to AI-generated images, like hands with extra fingers, it said.</p>

<p>Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, is a prolific publisher of open-sourced AI research via its in-house research lab. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said that sharing models developed by Meta's researchers can help the company by spurring innovation, spotting safety gaps and lowering costs.</p>

<p>"For us, it's way better if the industry standardises on the basic tools that we're using and therefore we can benefit from the improvements that others make," he told investors in April.</p>

<p>The company's executives have dismissed warnings from others in the industry about the potential dangers of the technology, declining to sign a statement last month backed by top executives from OpenAI, DeepMind, Microsoft and Google that equated its risks with pandemics and wars.</p>

The Beatles haven't recorded a new song as a quartet in more than 50 years, but now that only two of the original four are still alive, the group is preparing a comeback. Any ideas on how well artificial intelligence will provide the solution? In order to construct the final Beatles recording, Paul McCartney disclosed that he is utilising AI to extract John Lennon's voice from an earlier demo.

<p>Actor Rohit Bose Roy reacted to the photo and said, “The man, the legend, the God of all he surveys, the image I grew up to and decided to become an actor!! Amit ji, uffff. Missing the table tennis days! I think we should start again! Best days ever! Love you.”<br />

Interestingly, this isn't the first time Amitabh Bachchan has shared a photo of himself with an AI twist. Last month, he shared this AI-generated picture of himself made on the basis of just his voice sample. Big B wrote, “Errr… this formed by AI by just my voice…just my voice sample…no wonder then that the head of the supreme tech resigns, for fear of what AI will do in the years ahead.”</p>

Amitabh Bachchan, at 80, is perhaps the most active celebrity on social media. He never misses a chance to connect with his fans on social media platforms and is known to be an avid internet user. His recent post on Instagram is bound to put a smile on your face. On Monday, the superstar shared a throwback photo of himself and called himself a robot. The photo has a relatively young Big B, dressed in a printed shirt and white trousers seated on a couch, looking at the camera. The photo has the actor looking dashing but Bachchan thinks he looks like an "AI (artificial intelligence) robot'. Sharing the photo, Big B wrote, “Hahaha!!! What a great photo opd clean-up edited job done (sic)… by whoever sent me this…making me look an AI robot!!! Hahaha (laughing emojis).” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) × Actor Rohit Bose Roy reacted to the photo and said, “The man, the legend, the God of all he surveys, the image I grew up to and decided to become an actor!!

<p>A "final Beatles record", created with the help of artificial intelligence, will be released later this year, Paul McCartney told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Tuesday.</p>

<p>"It was a demo that John (Lennon) had, and that we worked on, and we just finished it up," said McCartney, who turns 81 next week.</p>

<p>The Beatles -- Lennon, McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- split in 1970, with each going on to have solo careers, but they never reunited.</p>

<p>Lennon was shot dead in New York in 1980 aged 40 while Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001, aged 58.&nbsp;McCartney did not name the song that has been recorded, but according to the BBC, it is likely to be a 1978 Lennon composition called "Now And Then".</p>

<p>The track -- one of several on a cassette that Lennon had recorded for McCartney a year before his death -- was given to him by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono in 1994.</p>

<p>Two of the songs, "Free As A Bird"&nbsp;and "Real Love", were cleaned up by producer Jeff Lynne, and released in 1995 and 1996.</p>

<p>An attempt was made to do the same with <i>"</i>Now And Then"&nbsp;but the project was abandoned because of background noise on the demo.</p>

<p>McCartney, who has previously talked about wanting to finish the song, said AI had given him a new chance to do so.</p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;'Now and Then'&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><br />
Working with Peter Jackson, the film director behind the 2021 documentary series <em>The Beatles: Get Back</em>, AI was used to separate Lennon's voice and a piano.</p>

<p>"They tell the machine, 'That's the voice. This is a guitar. Lose the guitar'," he explained.</p>

<p>"So when we came to make what will be the last Beatles' record, it was a demo that John had (and) we were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI.</p>

<p>"Then we can mix the record, as you would normally do. So it gives you some sort of leeway."</p>

<p>McCartney performed a two-hour set at last year's Glastonbury festival in England, playing Beatles' classics to the 100,000-strong crowd.</p>

<p>The set included a virtual duet with Lennon on the song&nbsp;"I've Got a Feeling", from the Beatles' last album <em>Let It Be</em>.</p>

<p>Last month, Sting warned that "defending our human capital against AI" would be a major battle for musicians in the coming years.</p>

<p>The use of AI in music is the subject of debate in the industry, with some denouncing copyright abuses and others praising its prowess.</p>

'Final Beatles record' out this year aided by AI: Paul McCartney

<p>The voice on the phone seemed frighteningly real – an American mother heard her daughter sobbing before a man took over and demanded a ransom. But the girl was an AI clone and the abduction was fake.</p>

<p>The biggest peril of Artificial Intelligence, experts say, is its ability to demolish the boundaries between reality and fiction, handing cybercriminals a cheap and effective technology to propagate disinformation.</p>

<p>In a new breed of scams that has rattled US authorities, fraudsters are using strikingly convincing AI voice cloning tools – widely available online – to steal from people by impersonating family members.</p>

<p>"Help me, mom, please help me," Jennifer DeStefano, an Arizona-based mother, heard a voice saying on the other end of the line.</p>

<p>DeStefano was "100 per cent" convinced it was her 15-year-old daughter in deep distress while away on a skiing trip.</p>

<p>"It was never a question of who is this? It was completely her voice... it was the way she would have cried," DeStefano told a local television station in April.</p>

<p>"I never doubted for one second it was her."</p>

<p>The scammer who took over the call, which came from a number unfamiliar to DeStefano, demanded up to $1 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The AI-powered ruse was over within minutes when DeStefano established contact with her daughter. But the terrifying case, now under police investigation, underscored the potential for cybercriminals to misuse AI clones.</p>

<h2>Grandparent scam</h2>

<p>"AI voice cloning, now almost indistinguishable from human speech, allows threat actors like scammers to extract information and funds from victims more effectively," Wasim Khaled, chief executive of Blackbird.AI, told AFP.</p>

<p>A simple internet search yields a wide array of apps, many available for free, to create AI voices with a small sample -- sometimes only a few seconds -- of a person's real voice that can be easily stolen from content posted online.</p>

<p>"With a small audio sample, an AI voice clone can be used to leave voicemails and voice texts. It can even be used as a live voice changer on phone calls," Khaled said.</p>

<p>"Scammers can employ different accents, genders, or even mimic the speech patterns of loved ones. [The technology] allows for the creation of convincing deep fakes."</p>

<p>In a global survey of 7,000 people from nine countries, including the United States, one in four people said they had experienced an AI voice cloning scam or knew someone who had.</p>

<p>Seventy per cent of the respondents said they were not confident they could "tell the difference between a cloned voice and the real thing," said the survey, published last month by the US-based McAfee Labs.</p>

<p>American officials have warned of a rise in what is popularly known as the "grandparent scam" -– where an imposter poses as a grandchild in urgent need of money in a distressful situation.</p>

<p>"You get a call. There's a panicked voice on the line. It's your grandson. He says he's in deep trouble —- he wrecked the car and landed in jail. But you can help by sending money," the US Federal Trade Commission said in a warning in March.</p>

<p>"It sounds just like him. How could it be a scam? Voice cloning, that's how."</p>

<p>In the comments beneath the FTC's warning were multiple testimonies of elderly people who had been duped that way.</p>

<h2>'Malicious'</h2>

<p>That also mirrors the experience of Eddie, a 19-year-old in Chicago whose grandfather received a call from someone who sounded just like him, claiming he needed money after a car accident.</p>

<p>The ruse, reported by McAfee Labs, was so convincing that his grandfather urgently started scrounging together money and even considered re-mortgaging his house, before the lie was discovered.</p>

<p>"Because it is now easy to generate highly realistic voice clones... nearly anyone with any online presence is vulnerable to an attack," Hany Farid, a professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information, told AFP.</p>

<p>"These scams are gaining traction and spreading."</p>

<p>Earlier this year, AI startup ElevenLabs admitted that its voice cloning tool could be misused for "malicious purposes" after users posted a deepfake audio purporting to be actor Emma Watson reading Adolf Hitler's biography "Mein Kampf."</p>

<p>"We're fast approaching the point where you can't trust the things that you see on the internet," Gal Tal-Hochberg, group chief technology officer at the venture capital firm Team8, told AFP.</p>

The voice on the phone seemed frighteningly real – an American mother heard her daughter sobbing before a man took over and demanded a ransom. But the girl was an AI clone and the abduction was fake.

The voice on the phone seemed frighteningly real – an American mother heard her daughter sobbing before a man took over and demanded a ransom. But the girl was an AI clone and the abduction was fake. The biggest peril of Artificial Intelligence, experts say, is its ability to demolish the boundaries between reality and fiction, handing cybercriminals a cheap and effective technology to propagate disinformation. In a new breed of scams that has rattled US authorities, fraudsters are using strikingly convincing AI voice cloning tools – widely available online – to steal from people by impersonating family members. "Help me, mom, please help me," Jennifer DeStefano, an Arizona-based mother, heard a voice saying on the other end of the line. DeStefano was "100 per cent" convinced it was her 15-year-old daughter in deep distress while away on a skiing trip. "It was never a question of who is this? It was completely her voice... it was the way she would have cried," DeStefano told a local television station in April. "I never doubted for one second it was her." The scammer who took over the call, which came from a number unfamiliar to DeStefano, demanded up to $1 million. The AI-powered ruse was over within minutes when DeStefano established contact with her daughter. But the terrifying case, now under police investigation, underscored the potential for cybercriminals to misuse AI clones. Grandparent scam "AI voice cloning, now almost indistinguishable from human speech, allows threat actors like scammers to extract information and funds from victims more effectively," Wasim Khaled, chief executive of Blackbird.AI, told AFP. A simple internet search yields a wide array of apps, many available for free, to create AI voices with a small sample -- sometimes only a few seconds -- of a person's real voice that can be easily stolen from content posted online. "With a small audio sample, an AI voice clone can be used to leave voicemails and voice texts. It can even be used as a live voice changer on phone calls," Khaled said. "Scammers can employ different accents, genders, or even mimic the speech patterns of loved ones. [The technology] allows for the creation of convincing deep fakes." In a global survey of 7,000 people from nine countries, including the United States, one in four people said they had experienced an AI voice cloning scam or knew someone who had. Seventy per cent of the respondents said they were not confident they could "tell the difference between a cloned voice and the real thing," said the survey, published last month by the US-based McAfee Labs. American officials have warned of a rise in what is popularly known as the "grandparent scam" -– where an imposter poses as a grandchild in urgent need of money in a distressful situation. "You get a call. There's a panicked voice on the line. It's your grandson. He says he's in deep trouble —- he wrecked the car and landed in jail. But you can help by sending money," the US Federal Trade Commission said in a warning in March. "It sounds just like him. How could it be a scam? Voice cloning, that's how." In the comments beneath the FTC's warning were multiple testimonies of elderly people who had been duped that way. 'Malicious' That also mirrors the experience of Eddie, a 19-year-old in Chicago whose grandfather received a call from someone who sounded just like him, claiming he needed money after a car accident. The ruse, reported by McAfee Labs, was so convincing that his grandfather urgently started scrounging together money and even considered re-mortgaging his house, before the lie was discovered. "Because it is now easy to generate highly realistic voice clones... nearly anyone with any online presence is vulnerable to an attack," Hany Farid, a professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information, told AFP. "These scams are gaining traction and spreading." Earlier this year, AI startup ElevenLabs admitted that its voice cloning tool could be misused for "malicious purposes" after users posted a deepfake audio purporting to be actor Emma Watson reading Adolf Hitler's biography "Mein Kampf." "We're fast approaching the point where you can't trust the things that you see on the internet," Gal Tal-Hochberg, group chief technology officer at the venture capital firm Team8, told AFP. "We are going to need new technology to know if the person you think you're talking to is actually the person you're talking to," he said.

<p>Doctors are held in high regard across the globe. Their hard work and drive to save the patients are&nbsp;the source of awe, and in some cultures, they are even revered as 'living' gods. However, not even they can predict a patient's chances of death. However, a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed by a team at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine claims to hold the capability to do just that.</p>

<p>As per a report by the news agency AFP, the AI-based tool has shown promising results in reading physicians' notes and accurately predicting patients' risk of death, readmission to the hospital, and other important outcomes related to their care.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>NYUTron</strong></h2>

<p>The software, known as NYUTron, is currently being used by NYU's affiliated hospitals in New York. The team behind this amazing tool hopes that one day it will become a standard component of healthcare practices.</p>

<p>Talking to AFP, lead author Eric Oermann, a neurosurgeon and computer scientist at NYU, explained that while predictive models in medicine have existed for some time, they are not widely used due to the challenges of organising and formatting the required data.</p>

<p>However, the team realised that physicians consistently write detailed notes about their clinical observations and patient interactions. This, as per the team, can be a valuable source of data for building predictive models.</p>

<p>"One thing that's common in medicine everywhere, is physicians write notes about what they've seen in clinic, what they've discussed with patients," said Oermann.</p>

<p>"So our basic insight was, can we start with medical notes as our source of data, and then build predictive models on top of it?"</p>

<h2><strong>How did they achieve this feat?</strong></h2>

<p>NYUTron is basically a large language model. To train it, researchers used millions of clinical notes from the health records of 387,000 patients treated at NYU Langone hospitals between January 2011 and May 2020.</p>

<p>These notes encompassed various types of records written by doctors, including progress notes, radiology reports, and discharge instructions, resulting in a massive corpus of 4.1 billion words.&nbsp;</p>

Groundbreaking AI tool predicts patients' chances of death. Can it replace doctors?

<p>US President Joe Biden said on Thursday (June 8) that security risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be addressed. He was speaking at joint press conference with British PM Rishi Sunak.</p>

<p>"I don't think ever in the history of human endeavour has there been as fundamental potential technological change as is presented by artificial intelligence. It is staggering," said Biden.</p>

<p>PM Sunak said that that the US and the UK have agreed to work together on AI safety.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Today, the President and I agreed to work together on AI safety," said Sunak.</p>

<p>Thursday's discussion between the two leaders had a focus on ensuring safety over AI and other technologies that are emerging, said Sunak. He said that Britain would host the first AI summit this year. The summit will see how the risks posed by AI can be tackled through global action.</p>

<p>"The UK looks forward to hosting the first global summit on AI safety later this year, so that we can seize the extraordinary possibilities of this new technological age, and do so with confidence," said Sunak.</p>

<p>The last meeting between Biden and Sunak took place in Hiroshima, Japan last month at the Group of Seven (G7) summit. The two leaders also met in Belfast in April and before that in San Diego in March.</p>

<h2><strong>Supporting Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes’</strong></h2>

<p>During the joint press conference,&nbsp;Biden expressed confidence that the US will support Ukraine in its war with Russia for 'as long as it takes'. There has been some hesitation among US lawmakers of Republican Party about helping Ukraine in an indefinite manner.</p>

<p>"The fact of the matter is that I believe we'll have the funding necessary to support Ukraine as long as it takes," said Biden.</p>

<p>Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year. After sustained territorial gains in the first few months of the conflict, Russian forces had to retreat in the face of Ukrainian counterattacks. Western countries, led by the US have poured in millions and millions of dollars for humanitarian as well as military help for Ukraine. This, among other factors, has been credited for Ukraine's success in defending its territory so far.</p>

US President Joe Biden said on Thursday (June 8) that security risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be addressed. He was speaking at joint press conference with British PM Rishi Sunak. "I don't think ever in the history of human endeavour has there been as fundamental potential technological change as is presented by artificial intelligence. It is staggering," said Biden. PM Sunak said that that the US and the UK have agreed to work together on AI safety. Gravitas | About Ducking Time: Apple to introduce AI-powered autocorrect × "Today, the President and I agreed to work together on AI safety," said Sunak. Thursday's discussion between the two leaders had a focus on ensuring safety over AI and other technologies that are emerging, said Sunak. He said that Britain would host the first AI summit this year. The summit will see how the risks posed by AI can be tackled through global action. "The UK looks forward to hosting the first global summit on AI safety later this year, so that we can seize the extraordinary possibilities of this new technological age, and do so with confidence," said Sunak.

The two leaders also met in Belfast in April and before that in San Diego in March. Supporting Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes’ During the joint press conference, Biden expressed confidence that the US will support Ukraine in its war with Russia for 'as long as it takes'. There has been some hesitation among US lawmakers of Republican Party about helping Ukraine in an indefinite manner. "The fact of the matter is that I believe we'll have the funding necessary to support Ukraine as long as it takes," said Biden. Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year. After sustained territorial gains in the first few months of the conflict, Russian forces had to retreat in the face of Ukrainian counterattacks. Western countries, led by the US have poured in millions and millions of dollars for humanitarian as well as military help for Ukraine. This, among other factors, has been credited for Ukraine's success in defending its territory so far.

AI risks need to be addressed, says Biden in joint news conference with Sunak

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, leading to concerns about its potential impact on employment, disruptions in different industries, and the propagation of political ideologies.</p>

<p>WION spoke with Kevin Baragona, the founder of DeepAI.org, on how one should envision the future of AI in the next decade. DeepAI is the first online text-to-image generator and recently added AI Chat. It offers free access without any registration and has upgraded plans as well.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Deepfakes and the threat of AI propagating political ideologies&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>"Deepfakes in politics could have broad-reaching ramifications such as creating media of leaders declaring the next world war."</p>

<p>Baragona called on deepfakes made without prior permission to be declared illegal. "No one should be able to steal your face and voice."</p>

AI is the 'nuclear weapon of software': WION speaks to DeepAI founder Kevin Baragona

<p>US&nbsp;senators on Thursday introduced two separate bipartisan artificial intelligence bills on Thursday amid growing interest in addressing issues surrounding the technology.</p>

<p>One would require the US&nbsp;government to be transparent when using AI to interact with people, and another would establish an office to determine if the United States is remaining competitive in the latest technologies.</p>

US Congress to consider two new bills on artificial intelligence

<p>Loss unites humanity as nothing else can. We've all lost someone we loved, and their deaths have left a space nothing and no one can fill. However, many startups are using the new technological capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to try to do just that. As per an AFP news report, these firms use AI to allow you to talk to your deceased loved ones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For someone dealing with the grief that comes with loss, this technology can be a boon, but it also raises ethical questions.</p>

<h2><strong>Re-animating the deceased</strong></h2>

<p>Nothing can bring back the people we've lost. However, this technology tries to capture a part of their essence, which can help provide you with some semblance of comfort.</p>

<p>There are many startups offering the service. One such company called DeepBrain AI has a programme called "Rememory".</p>

<p>As per the AI firm's head of development, Joseph Murphy, they create a digital replica of the deceased using hours of video.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/real-terminators-synthetic-self-healing-skin-likely-to-create-killer-robots-on-battlefield-601382">Real Terminators? Synthetic self-healing skin likely to create killer robots on battlefield</a></strong></p>

<p>"We don't create new content," says Murphy. The company says that it only tries to replicate what the person would say when alive.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company's "Rememory" programme&nbsp;adheres to a policy of not generating new content. This includes sentences or statements that the deceased individual would not have uttered or written during their lifetime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'll call it a niche part of our business. It's not a growth area for us," he said as per AFP.</p>

<p>Another company, StoryFile,&nbsp;follows the same idea.</p>

<p>The company's head, Stephen Smith, said, "Our approach is to capture the wonder of an individual, then use the AI tools."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's a very fine ethical area that we're taking with great care," he added.&nbsp;StoryFile, claims several thousand users already use its Life service.</p>

<p>Yet another similar service is called 'Replika'. It is developed by Russian engineer Eugenia Kyuda.</p>

<p>A few years back in 2015, Kyuda lost her best friend Roman to a tragic car accident. To deal with the grief, she developed a chatbot named 'Roman'. This chatbot was trained using thousands of text messages that her deceased friend had sent to loved ones.</p>

<p>After two years, Kyuda introduced Replika, a platform that provides highly advanced personalised conversational bots.</p>

<p>However, according to a spokesperson, Replika, unlike its predecessor Roman, "is not a platform made to recreate a lost loved one."</p>

<h2><strong>Is it only chatbots?</strong></h2>

<p>No. There are companies that are developing virtual clones.</p>

<p>One such company, Somnium Space, wants to create virtual clones of people while they are still alive. These clones would exist in a different world after the person passes away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a YouTube video announcing his product, Live Forever, CEO Artur Sychov acknowledged that this concept "It's not for everyone". He acknowledged that individual choices are involved.</p>

<p>"Do I want to meet my grandfather who's in AI? I don't know. But those who want that will be able to."</p>

<h2><strong>The ethical challenges</strong></h2>

<p>Thanks to regenerative technology, these AI avatars can say things the person never said in real life.</p>

<p>According to Joseph Murphy from DeepBrainAI, "These are philosophical challenges, not technical challenges".</p>

<p>"I would say that is a line right now that we do not plan on crossing, but who knows what the future holds?" he added.</p>

<p>Candi Cann, a professor at Baylor University who is studying this topic in South Korea, suggests that interacting with an AI clone of a person can be helpful for achieving closure, especially in "complicated" situations.</p>

<p>"I think it can be helpful to interact with an AI version of a person in order to get closure&nbsp;— particularly in situations where grief was complicated by abuse or trauma," said Cann.</p>

<p>Mari Dias, a professor of medical psychology at Johnson &amp; Wales University, asked her bereaved patients about their thoughts on virtual contact with their deceased loved ones. She revealed, that the&nbsp;most common answer is 'I don't trust AI. I'm afraid it's going to say something I'm not going to accept'. They express concerns and a lack of trust in AI. They fear that the AI avatar might say something they cannot accept, and they feel they have no control over the avatar's actions.</p>

UK will hold world’s first AI summit, says PM Sunak, pitches for London-based future global regulator

There is a lot of excitement around artificial intelligence but the emerging technology has also become a cause of a lot of concern for governments around the world. In our next report, we take a look at how governments the world over are conceptualizing possible regulations on AI.

Governments scramble to regulate Artificial Intelligence

<p>For the first time ever, Artificial Intelligence has been included as one of the reasons behind American companies executing job cuts. The US companies cut over 80,000 jobs last month, up 20 per cent from April due to reasons such as market conditions, restructuring and buyouts and Artificial Intelligence, according to a report by Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray &amp; Christmas.</p>

<p>The report said that in May, 3,900 people were laid off due to Artificial Intelligence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We do believe Artificial Intelligence will cause more job loss, though we are surprised how quickly technology was cited as a reason," Andy Challenger, senior vice president of the outplacement firm, was quoted as saying by the Fortune magazine.</p>

<p>"It is incredible the speed the technology is evolving and being adapted," Challenger added without specifying which companies had the AI-related job cuts.</p>

<p>A recent survey by software company Krista <a href="https://krista.ai/ai-trust-survey-2023/">found</a> most people believe that AI will affect their jobs at one point or the other. But while only 11 per cent of employees at managerial levels said that the technology will negatively affect their work, the number nearly doubled when it came to the rank-and-file workers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier in March, Goldman Sachs said in a report that 18 per cent of all jobs worldwide and a fourth of all jobs in the United States and Europe could be automated.</p>

<p>The report also found that white collar jobs such as the ones in the IT and finance sectors as well as the administrative and legal jobs were at greater risk of being replaced by the AI than the blue-collar ones that require physical labour.</p>

<p>With that kind of computing power, some companies find it cheaper and more efficient to enlist Artificial Intelligence than employ people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The uncertainty lies in whether companies will cite A.I. as a reason [for termination] going forward," Challenger is further quoted as saying by the Fortune magazine.</p>

<p>"It remains to be seen how investors will react to that sort of adoption that costs human jobs."</p>

Thousands lose jobs as Artificial Intelligence replaces humans in tech sector

UK PM Rishi Sunak's tech adviser Max Clifford has warned that AI could create a new species that can outsmart humans and lead to their extinction. Are we close to the doomsday? Molly Gambhir tells you more.

Gravitas | Sunak's tech adviser warns: Two years to doomsday due to AI

<p>Companies deploying generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Bard with the potential to generate disinformation should label such content as part of their efforts to combat fake news, European Commission deputy head Vera Jourova said on Monday.</p>

<p>Unveiled late last year, Microsoft-backed (MSFT.O), OpenAI's ChatGPT has become the fastest-growing consumer application in history and set off a race among tech companies to bring generative AI products to market.</p>

<p>Concerns however are mounting about potential abuse of the technology and the possibility that bad actors and even governments may use it to produce far more disinformation than before.</p>

<p>"Signatories who integrate generative AI into their services like Bingchat for Microsoft, Bard for Google (GOOGL.O) should build in necessary safeguards that these services cannot be used by malicious actors to generate disinformation," Jourova told a press conference.</p>

AI-generated content should be labelled, suggests European Union official

The future of humanity is at risk as doomsday is looming large in the near future. Our humanity is at risk from something we created ourselves and we call it Artificial Intelligence. But how will all of this unfold? Who will be responsible for the demise of humans? If you think it's going to be aliens for now they are out of the picture because our own humanity is at risk from something we created ourselves. Our report has further daunting details take a look.
