The British multinational oil and gas company, Shell Plc announced to use of AI-based technology from big-data analytics firm SparkCognition in its deep sea exploration. It is done in view to boost its offshore oil output, the companies said on Wednesday.&nbsp;

SparkCognition’s AI algorithms will process and analyse large amounts of seismic data in the hunt for new oil reservoirs by Shell, which is the largest oil producer in the US Gulf of Mexico.&nbsp;

“We are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reinvent our exploration ways of working,” Gabriel Guerra, Shell’s vice president of innovation and performance, said in a statement.

The goal is to improve operational efficiency and speed and increase production and success in exploration. The new process can shorten to less than nine days from nine months, the companies said.&nbsp;

“We are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reinvent our exploration ways of working,” Gabriel Guerra, Shell’s vice president of innovation and performance, said in a statement.

<h2>How AI will help in deep-sea exploration?</h2>

AI is a broad branch of computer science that focuses on organizing intelligent machines capable of accomplishing tasks, typically requiring human intelligence. Therefore, AI as a technology can aid machines to stimulate human behaviour.

The AI-based technology would help in generating subsurface images using fewer seismic data scans than usual, helping with deep sea preservation, the companies said. Seismic technology sends sound waves to explore subsurface areas.&nbsp;

Fewer seismic surveys accelerate exploration workflow and would save costs in high-performance computing, the companies added.&nbsp;

<h2>Emerging use of AI in different industries</h2>

AI-based technology has opened new opportunities in different industries like, healthcare, space exploration, education sector and logistics. The contribution of the technology giants like Microsoft, Google, Apple and IBM in the healthcare sector holds significant importance for the industry.&nbsp;

AI is currently being applied for a wide range of healthcare services, including data mining for identifying patterns and then carrying out the more accurate diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, medical imaging, medication management, drug discovery and robotic surgery.

Likewise, in the logistics and transportation industry, AI is on the verge of making a revolution.

World's foremost public health agency, the World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday, cautioned against using artificial intelligence (AI) for public healthcare. It said that the data used by AI to reach decisions could be biased or misused and advised caution while using the technology.

As per the WHO, risks must be examined carefully before using AI-generated large language model tools (LLMs) like "ChatGPT, Bard, Bert and many others" to protect and promote human well-being and protect public health.

The health agency said that while it was enthusiastic about the potential AI holds, it has concerns over how the technology will be used.

It said, "There is concern that caution that would normally be exercised for any new technology is not being exercised consistently with LLMs."

"This includes widespread adherence to key values of transparency, inclusion, public engagement, expert supervision, and rigorous evaluation."

As per the WHO, the "precipitous" adoption of untested AI systems could lead to errors by healthcare workers, which could harm patients. This, it warned, could "cause harm to patients, erode trust in AI and thereby undermine (or delay) the potential long-term benefits and uses of such technologies around the world."

It&nbsp;further cautioned that artificial intelligence LLMs like ChatGPT and Bard that imitate understanding, processing, and producing human communication could be misused to "generate and disseminate highly convincing disinformation".&nbsp;

This disinformation, as per the WHO, can be in textual, audio or video form and would be difficult to differentiate from reliable health content for the public.

Reiterating the importance of applying ethical principles and appropriate governance, the World Health Organization specified six core principles it has identified as imperative while using AI in healthcare. These are: protect autonomy; promote human well-being, human safety, and the public interest; ensure transparency, explainability, and intelligibility; foster responsibility and accountability; ensure inclusiveness and equity; promote AI that is responsive and sustainable.

The health agency said that while it is committing to harnessing new technologies, including AI and digital health, towards the improvement of human health, it recommends that policymakers must ensure patient safety and protection.

World Health Organization issues warning, says AI in healthcare poses risks, could be misused

As concerns grow around the world over AI snatching away people's jobs, Italy has allocated funds to shield workers. Molly Gambhir tells you more.

Gravitas: How Italy is tackling the AI threat

Italy has set aside a whopping 30 million euros to help unemployed people improve their skills in a world where technology is developing at an unprecedented pace and it seems that no job is safe from automation. As a result, nations around the world are stepping up their efforts to prepare for the potential AI replacement threat.

Italy to invest 30 million euros to tackle automation

In a first for any country Italy allocated 30 million Euros or 33 million dollars to help those whose jobs are at risk from artificial intelligence the fund is also earmarked to train the unemployed to acquire new skills the most obvious questions are why and the answers are simple first the rising concerns about Job losses to Automation and air and the second more Italians on average lack fundamental digital abilities compared to the wider European union workers

Italy allocates funds for job losses to AI, fund to protect & upskill workers

India: CeRAI to focus on fundamental and applies research in AI

A group of academics wrote on Wednesday (May 10) that health professionals must warn everyone about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, the clamour is growing for work on the technology to be stopped. The academics have written in BMJ Global Health journal. They say that time to take such a step was running out because governments, corporations and militaries were working fast to develop AI tools.

AI has become the&nbsp;buzzword since last year after the launch of ChatGPT, a bot capable of generating text from short prompts. The blockbuster response to ChatGPT has led to a frenzy amid tech majors like Google and Microsoft to weave AI into their products and tools. Investors have started pouring money into AI startups.

But the health academics pointed to a range of threats, including powerful AI surveillance systems being developed in dozens of countries, killer robots and disinformation.

They highlighted issues like people with darker skin being at serious risk of harm or reduced care. This they said may be the result of datasets used to "train" AI algorithms being biased.

They argued that "the window of opportunity to avoid serious and potentially existential harms is closing".

The authors, led by Frederik Federspiel of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and David McCoy of the United Nations University in Kuala Lumpur, wrote that global cooperation would be needed.

"Healthcare professionals have a key role in raising awareness and sounding the alarm on the risks and threats posed by AI," they wrote in an analysis piece.

"If AI is to ever fulfil its promise to benefit humanity and society, we must protect democracy, strengthen our public-interest institutions, and dilute power so that there are effective checks and balances."

Even people from the tech world are making their voices heard now.

Earlier this month, computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, often dubbed "the godfather of AI", quit his job at Google to warn of the "profound risks to society and humanity" of the technology.

In March, billionaire Elon Musk -- whose Tesla carmaker deploys AI systems -- and hundreds of experts called for a pause in AI development to allow time to make sure the technology was safe and properly regulated.

'Raise alarm  on AI threats', academics appeal to health professionals

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it will not provide salary increases for its full-time employees this year.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella cited global macroeconomic uncertainties and a major push towards artificial intelligence (AI) to justify his move to freeze employee salaries. However, certain hourly or equivalent roles may receive salary increases, the company said.&nbsp;

"We are clear that we are helping drive a major platform shift in this new era of artificial intelligence, and doing so in a dynamic, competitive environment while also facing global macroeconomic uncertainties," media reports said quoting Nadella's internal email.&nbsp;

It is to be noted that Microsoft was an early adopter of AI technology, integrating Open AI's ChatGPT with its search engine Bing. According to media reports, Microsoft has invested nearly $13 billion in Open AI.&nbsp;

According to Nadella's email, the decision was carefully considered by senior leadership over several months, with a focus on ensuring the long-term success of the company.

Microsoft also announced that it will reduce the budget for annual bonuses and stock awards to 'historical averages'.

Nevertheless, the email emphasised that Microsoft will remain committed to prioritising and acknowledging exceptional performance by offering substantial rewards. To achieve this, managers will be entrusted with distinguishing and allocating compensation based on individual performance within their assigned budgets, the email read.&nbsp;

This latest announcement comes after Microsoft announced the termination of over 10,000 employees earlier this year. Additionally, LinkedIn, a group firm of Microsoft, recently cut around 716 jobs and announced the closure of its job app in China.

Meanwhile, the&nbsp;decision has disappointed some employees, who view it as a pay cut.

An India-based Microsoft employee, speaking on the condition of anonymity to BQPrime, expressed concerns about the impact on their annual appraisal cycle and the potential for further layoffs if market conditions do not improve.&nbsp;

Indian news website BQPrime cited a Microsoft India spokesperson as saying that compensation would be aligned with the overall market, even though there won't be a hike in salaries&nbsp;this year.&nbsp;

"While we will not be providing salary increases for our full-time salaried employees this year, we will continue to invest in our employees through promotions, bonus and stock," the spokesperson told BQPrime.&nbsp;

In AI era, Microsoft holds the purse strings: Salaries frozen but bonuses remain

Google officially launched its artificial intelligence chatbot, called Bard, to take on rival Open AI’s ChatGPT, which is backed by Microsoft.

At an annual Google developers conference in Silicon Valley on Thursday, the tech giant announced that its new tool will be rolled out in over 180 countries.

Google said that its AI chatbot has been imbibed into 25 products, including Maps and Gmail, and will let users&nbsp;write mail responses with the help of Bard.

"Seven years into our journey as an AI-first company, we are at an exciting inflection point," Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, told thousands of developers gathered for the event.

"With generative AI, we're taking the next step, with a bold and responsible approach, we are reimagining all of our products."

However, one noticeable key decision Google has taken differently than Microsoft is that unlike ChatGPT which is ingrained into Bing search, Bard chatbot will not be included in the Google search.

How Bard is different from ChatGPT

The tech firm said that its traditional Google search will still be used for finding and seeking information, such as locating something to purchase.

Whereas Bard AI chatbot, which has a persona that can hold human-like conversations, will be used for “creative collaboration” for instance, to generate software code or write a caption for a photo.

These answers will be corroborated by authoritative websites, and it will also continue including ads in responses.

A separate AI technology is coming to Google search that is called Search Generative Experience.

The company's AI efforts would be carried out in a "bold and responsible" way, senior product director Jack Krawczyk said during the briefing.

Bard will be modified to support 40 languages in coming months, Krawczyk said, "We're excited to get Bard into more people's hands.&nbsp;We're pretty fired up about where Bard is going."

Which countries can try new Google search

The new Google search with AI is yet to be released for mass internet users. The first to get exclusive access would be US users in coming weeks via a wait list. During this initial phase, Google will monitor the quality, speed and cost of search results.

How to use Bard in India

Google said Bard is now available with no wait list in 180 countries. Initially, the Google Bard chatbot was only available in the UK and the US. Interested Indian users can now join the waitlist for the AI chatbot via the Google Bard official website.

Tech giant Microsoft said on Wednesday that it will not raise salaries for full-time employees this year. The announcement comes as the company focuses on the lucrative world of generative AI.

Tough times at Microsoft: Salaries stay put

Google on Wednesday announced that the wait list for Bard, which was launched in March this year, has been removed.

The AI chatbot, which people in the United Kingdom and the United States earlier had limited access to, has now been opened up for 180 countries around the world.

The announcement was made by Google in its I/O developer conference where it also stated its plans to integrate it into search after a similar move was made by Microsoft with ChatGPT.

However, the complete list of territories where Bard has been made available was not published by Google, but like ChatGPT, the AI chatbot cannot be used by people in Hong Kong currently.

When attempts were made by people to access the service on Thursday, they received a message saying that “Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!”

In a blog post which stated about Bard's expanded service on Wednesday, Google stated that more territories and countries are “coming soon”.

When quizzed about the absence of Bard in Hong Kong, the plans were not explained by Google for specific markets.

“Bard is in its early days – and given how new the technology is, we want to roll it out thoughtfully and responsibly,” said a Google spokeswoman in an emailed statement.

Microsoft-supported OpenAI, which is the creator of the controversial ChatGPT, has also not made its services available in Hong Kong. The company has a list of 163 markets where the AI chatbot is available.

Most of the countries not listed among the markets of ChatGPT are either sanctioned or the nations which exhibit tight internet controls like Russia, Iran, North Korea and China.

However, both ChatGPT and Bard can be accessed by people through virtual private networks (VPNs), although extra steps have been taken by OpenAI to stop this by blocking a few VPN connections and creating a requirement of a phone number to create an account.

Bard is a rival to Open AI's ChatGPT. Currently, Google is racing to catch up with Microsoft which has moved forward to integrate ChatGPT-like powers in different arrays of its products, which includes the Bing search engine.

The technology in Bard will provide features like filling in the text to help write emails and suggesting ideas for creating artwork by looking into a picture of available supplies.

Bard will also be able to hold human-like conversations and can be used for creative collaboration, like generating software code or creating a caption for a photo.

The announcement was made by Google in its I/O developer conference where it also stated its plans to integrate it into search after a similar move was made by Microsoft with ChatGPT.

When attempts were made by people to access the service on Thursday, they received a message saying that “Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!” In a blog post which stated about Bard's expanded service on Wednesday, Google stated that more territories and countries are “coming soon”. When quizzed about the absence of Bard in Hong Kong, the plans were not explained by Google for specific markets. “Bard is in its early days – and given how new the technology is, we want to roll it out thoughtfully and responsibly,” said a Google spokeswoman in an emailed statement. Microsoft-supported OpenAI, which is the creator of the controversial ChatGPT, has also not made its services available in Hong Kong. The company has a list of 163 markets where the AI chatbot is available. Most of the countries not listed among the markets of ChatGPT are either sanctioned or the nations which exhibit tight internet controls like Russia, Iran, North Korea and China. WATCH | Bard : Google's AI powered chatbot coming to 180 countries However, both ChatGPT and Bard can be accessed by people through virtual private networks (VPNs), although extra steps have been taken by OpenAI to stop this by blocking a few VPN connections and creating a requirement of a phone number to create an account. Bard is a rival to Open AI's ChatGPT. Currently, Google is racing to catch up with Microsoft which has moved forward to integrate ChatGPT-like powers in different arrays of its products, which includes the Bing search engine. The technology in Bard will provide features like filling in the text to help write emails and suggesting ideas for creating artwork by looking into a picture of available supplies. Bard will also be able to hold human-like conversations and can be used for creative collaboration, like generating software code or creating a caption for a photo.

DEF CON hacker convention: Thousands to test AI chatbots’ abilities, safety and loopholes

Renowned scientist Geoffrey Hinton, one of the best-known pioneers of ai, claims that the emergence of this technology poses a more pressing threat to humanity than climate change. Rohit Wellington Rajan brings you the report.

AI a more urgent risk than climate change: ‘Godfather of AI’

Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder and a widely respected authoritative voice in the tech world, has said content created by Artificial Intelligence should be labelled. He was speaking with BBC when he said AI can be used by "bad actors" to make scams harder to spot than before. Wozniak also called for regulation of the AI sector.

'Woz' as he is known in the tech world, signed a letter in March that called for a six-month global pause on the development of powerful AI systems. It was argued that powerful AI systems posed a risk to humanity. Other signatories to the letter included Tesla chief Elon Musk, among others.

“AI is so intelligent it’s open to the bad players, the ones that want to trick you about who they are,” Wozniak told BBC.

Artificial Intelligence refers to a computer system that can perform functions that usually require human intelligence. The issue came to the fore globally last year after the launch of ChatGPT, the generative AI tool developed by OpenAI which can write extremely detailed texts based on input prompts.

Wozniak said he did not believe AI will replace humans because it lacks emotions, but he opined that scammers may be able to trick people more easily as they would easily use these tools to use intelligent, believable language.

“A human really has to take the responsibility for what is generated by AI,” said Wozniak.&nbsp;

He spoke in favour of the regulation of AI. But he doubted that regulators will get it right.&nbsp;

“The forces that drive for money usually win out, which is sort of sad,” he said.

AI may make scams more believable, says Steve Wozniak

Artificial Intelligence (AI) reading human thoughts might soon be a reality. Scientists have developed an AI model that can decode human thoughts and convert it into text using technology similar to that of ChatGPT.

Mind-reading with AI: Unlocking superhuman abilities

Warren Buffett compared AI to an atom bomb. Elon Musk called it an 'out of control' danger. Why are tech CEOS calling out the advancement of AI? Why are their voices getting louder? Molly Gambhir reports.

Gravitas: Why is AI a threat to human race?

The fast development of artificial intelligence (AI) has capability to affect labour markets globally. More than half of current jobs in the US and the EU have been introduced to some level of AI automation. This will cause a major impact in certain sectors of occupation. And according to experts AI can replace 80% human jobs.

Microsoft has now expanded public access to its generative artificial intelligence programmes and the AI-enhanced features are now available for anyone to use without a waitlist.&nbsp;

In a blog post published on Thursday, Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of Microsoft, announced that the features of the company's Bing search engine and Edge internet browser are now open for anyone to use.

"This means that it will now be easier than ever for everyone to try the new Bing and Edge by simply signing into Bing with your Microsoft account," he said.

According to him,&nbsp;the services have been enhanced with the ability to work with images as well as texts. In the future, Microsoft intends to add video features to the mix.

The executive said that a Bing "Image Creator" was recently integrated into Microsoft's AI chatbot's repertoire, which enables it to generate visual, as well as written content.&nbsp; Additionally, the company will be expanding Image Creator's capabilities so that users can use their native languages.

"We are expanding Image Creator to all languages in Bing," said Mehdi, adding, "So, now, you can create images in your native language."

Microsoft expands AI access, allows users enhanced features without waitlist sign-up

The chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett, a 92-year-old billionaire investor, has recently highlighted concerns about the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the future of human employment. Buffett has also equated AI to the development of an atomic bomb.

According to media sources, the computer behemoth Google is preparing to make its search engine more visual, snackable, personal, and human. There is a fierce competition for AI dominance, and the stakes have never been higher.

Reports: Google aims to make search 'snackable'

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says Artificial Intelligence's capabilities makes him 'worried'

Billionaire investor Warren Buffet joined the growing list of sceptics of artificial intelligence (AI), as he compared the technology to the creation of atom bomb.

Buffet’s remarks came while discussing the future of AI during Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, on Saturday.

While sharing his thoughts on how AI could affect stock markets and society as a whole, Buffet expressed fears over the programme’s ability to rapidly evolve over time.

The 92-year-old investor did acknowledge AI’s “amazing capabilities” after receiving a lesson on Open AI’s Chat GPT from his “buddy” Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, three months ago. Microsoft has invested heavily in OpenAI.

He added that he was impressed with the AI’s vast capabilities, including checking all legal opinions “since the beginning of time.”

“When something can do all kinds of things, I get a little bit worried,” the 92-year-old investor said.

“Because I know we won’t be able to un-invent it and, you know, we did invent, for very, very good reason, the atom bomb in World War II.”&nbsp;

Buffett continued, “It was enormously important that we did so. But is it good for the next 200 years of the world that the ability to do so has been unleashed?” Fox Business reported.

<h2>Hollywood writers' strike: The fear of Artificial Intelligence</h2>

The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway further said that he believes AI will change “everything in the world, except how men think and behave.” “And that’s a big step to take,” he said.

Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s 99-year-old vice chairman&nbsp;who was with Buffet, also expressed his concerns over the rise of AI technology.

“I am personally sceptical of some of the hype that has gone into artificial intelligence,” he said.

“I think old-fashioned intelligence works pretty well.”

Buffet isn’t the only one who has expressed his reservations about the potential dangers of AI.

More than 1,000 researchers and technologists, including Elon Musk, signed a letter in late March calling for a&nbsp;six-month pause on AI development&nbsp;because, they said, it poses "profound risks to society and humanity."&nbsp;

“Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,” the letter said.

In fact, even Open AI CEO Sam Altman admitted that they are “a little bit scared” of their creation, saying that it may wipe out a lot of current jobs.

“We’ve got to be careful here…I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this,” the 37-year-old tech entrepreneur told ABC News.

When asked to explain why he was “scared”, Altman replied that if he wasn’t “scared” then “you should either not trust me or be very unhappy that I’m in this job.”&nbsp;

Warren Buffet likens AI to atom bomb, says ‘can't un-invent it now’

Indian techies are reportedly chased with new job offerings and fancy salary packages by tech giants as India is seen as a fertile ground to poach for engineers to build their own AI engine projects.

Fierce AI talent war shifts to India with salaries being doubled

US President Joe Biden met with CEOs of leading tech firms at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI), including Microsoft and Google, and emphasised the potential and threat of AI that might have an impact on people all over the world. Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, and Sam Altmann of OpenAI were present at the high-level meeting, where the White House hinted at possible regulations in future.

“Artificial Intelligence is one of the most powerful tools of our time, but to seize its opportunities, we must first mitigate its risks. Today, I dropped by a meeting with AI leaders to touch on the importance of innovating responsibly and protecting people's rights and safety,” Biden tweeted.

The US president addressed the top AI officials from Alphabet's Google and Microsoft saying,&nbsp;“I just came by to say thanks. What you are doing has enormous potential and enormous danger."

"I know you understand that and I hope you can educate us as to what you think is most needed to protect the society as well as to the advancement. This is really really important,” he said.

President Biden dropped by when US Vice President Kamala&nbsp;Harris was speaking with the CEOs,&nbsp;and&nbsp;emphasised the need to mitigate both the current and potential risks that AI poses to people, society, and national security in addition to the potential benefits that might result from these developments.&nbsp;

Given the intense global debate over the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence, Biden's meeting with representatives from various companies that use the technology assumes great significance. An increasing number of people worry that the rise of AI will result in misinformation campaigns, increased privacy abuses, and unemployment.

The White House said in a statement that the meeting also covered three important topics: the need for companies to be more open with policymakers, the general public, and others about their AI systems; the significance of being able to assess, verify, and validate the safety, security, and efficacy of AI systems; and the necessity to ensure AI systems are secure from malicious actors and attacks.

Prior to the meeting, the administration disclosed a $140 million National Science Foundation investment to establish seven new AI research institutions. It also stated that the White House Office of Management and Budget would issue policy recommendations on the use of AI by the federal government. &nbsp; &nbsp;

At DEFCON 31, one of the biggest hacker conventions in the world, leading AI developers such as Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Stability AI will take part in a public evaluation of their AI systems on a platform developed by Scale AI and Microsoft.

Shortly after Biden announced that he wanted to run for reelection, the Republican National Committee created a film depicting a nightmarish future set during a second term for Biden and made entirely of AI imagery.

President Biden dropped by when US Vice President Kamala Harris was speaking with the CEOs, and emphasised the need to mitigate both the current and potential risks that AI poses to people, society, and national security in addition to the potential benefits that might result from these developments. Given the intense global debate over the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence, Biden's meeting with representatives from various companies that use the technology assumes great significance. An increasing number of people worry that the rise of AI will result in misinformation campaigns, increased privacy abuses, and unemployment. The White House said in a statement that the meeting also covered three important topics: the need for companies to be more open with policymakers, the general public, and others about their AI systems; the significance of being able to assess, verify, and validate the safety, security, and efficacy of AI systems; and the necessity to ensure AI systems are secure from malicious actors and attacks. Prior to the meeting, the administration disclosed a $140 million National Science Foundation investment to establish seven new AI research institutions. It also stated that the White House Office of Management and Budget would issue policy recommendations on the use of AI by the federal government. At DEFCON 31, one of the biggest hacker conventions in the world, leading AI developers such as Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Stability AI will take part in a public evaluation of their AI systems on a platform developed by Scale AI and Microsoft. Shortly after Biden announced that he wanted to run for reelection, the Republican National Committee created a film depicting a nightmarish future set during a second term for Biden and made entirely of AI imagery.
