Elon Musk is again sounding warning bells on the dangers of artificial intelligence to humanity. In an apparent challenge to ChatGPT, the popular chatbot from OpenAI, the Twitter owner said he will launch a platform that he calls TruthGPT. Recently, Elon Musk, A-I experts and industry executives called for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than Open-AI's newly-launched GPT-4. Musk said TruthGPT will be a maximum truth-seeking A-I that tries to understand the nature of the universe. The idea, Musk said, is that an A-I that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it. Last month, Musk registered a firm named X-AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada. The firm listed musk as the sole director and Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk's family office, as a secretary. He tweeted over the weekend that he had met Barack Obama when he was US President and told him that Washington needed to encourage AI regulation.

What works for one may not for another. This is especially true when it comes to mental health problems like depression and antidepressants. These drugs that can make a person's life significantly better often come with serious side effects. To avoid this and ensure that medications work effectively, an Israeli health-tech company is using Artificial Intelligence to match antidepressants to patients.

According to World Health Organization, globally, more than 280 million people suffer from depression. However, as per estimates for two-thirds of them, the initial prescriptions for depression or anxiety may not work properly.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, and we mean everywhere. From virtual friends to chatbots, to image and video generation, AI is making headlines. But did you think it could ever be a part of sleep? One of the most basic needs of any living being is good rest. For many, sleep is an actual hobby. What if artificial intelligence takes over this part of our lives&nbsp;too? No, AI won't be doing the sleeping for us, but it would be contributing to how we sleep.

Believe it or not, artificial intelligence is already a part of the industry. There exist special mattresses that are equipped with AI technology and help you sleep better.&nbsp;

These AI mattresses can detect, and monitor our sleep cycles, adjust their temperature according to our needs and even adapt their firmness according to what we need.

It is not fiction; in 2022, a hotel in New York made headlines for its suite that is dedicated to the pleasure of sleep. One of the key features of this room is a mattress from a company called Bryte. The mattress is integrated with artificial intelligence technology.&nbsp;

What is so special about this artificial intelligence-equipped mattress?

The answer is, so much.&nbsp;

Do you remember the story of Goldilocks and how after eating the bear's porridge, she tried out two mattresses before finding her perfect fit? Well, no need to be a modern-day Goldilocks. AI has you covered.

Here's how Artificial Intelligence can help modern-day Goldilocks get a good night's sleep

Aliens have long been a fascinating subject for humans. Innumerable movies, TV series and books are proof of this allure. Our search for extra-terrestrial has even&nbsp;taken us to other planets, albeit remotely. This search has progressed leaps and bounds in the last few years, but it is still in its natal stages. Global space agencies like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and China National Space Administration (CNSA) have in recent years sent rovers to Mars to aid this search remotely. However, the accuracy of these random searches remains low.

To remedy this, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute has been exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for finding extraterrestrial life on Mars and other icy worlds.

According to a report on Space, a recent study from SETI&nbsp;states that AI could be used to detect microbial life in the depths of the icy oceans on other planets.

In a paper published in Nature Astronomy, the team details how they trained a machine-learning model to scan data for signs of microbial life or other unusual features that could be indicative of alien life.&nbsp;

Using a machine learning algorithm called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) a multidisciplinary team of scientists led by SETI's Kim Warren-Rhodes has mapped sparse lifeforms on Earth.&nbsp;Warren-Rhodes worked alongside experts from other prestigious institutions: Michael Phillips of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab&nbsp;and Freddie Kalaitzis of the University&nbsp;of Oxford.

The system developed by them used statistical ecology and AI-detected biosignatures with up to 87.5 per cent accuracy, compared to only 10 per cent for random searches. As per the researchers, it&nbsp;can&nbsp;potentially reduce the search area by up to 97 per cent, making it easier for scientists to locate potential chemical traces of life.&nbsp;

For testing their system,&nbsp;they initially&nbsp;focused on the sparse lifeforms that dwell in salt domes, rocks, and crystals at Salar de Pajonales at the boundary of the Chilean Atacama Desert and Altiplano.

Warren-Rhodes and his team collected over 8,000 images and 1,000 samples from Salar de Pajonales to search for photosynthetic microbes that may represent a biosignature on NASA's "ladder of life detection" for finding life beyond Earth.&nbsp;

The team also used drone imagery to simulate Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High-Resolution Imaging Experiment camera's Martian terrain images to examine the region.

They found that microbial life in the region is concentrated in biological hotspots that strongly relate to the availability of water.

Researchers suggest that the machine learning tools developed can be used in robotic planetary missions like NASA's Perseverance Rover. The tools can guide rovers towards areas with a higher probability of having traces of alien life, even if they are rare or hidden.&nbsp;

"With these models, we can design tailor-made roadmaps and algorithms to guide rovers to places with the highest probability of harbouring past or present life  — no matter how hidden or rare," explained Warren-Rhodes.&nbsp;

Research reveals how Artificial Intelligence can help look for alien lifeforms on Mars and other planets

According to a recent Baycrest study, older persons tend to be less capable than their younger counterparts to distinguish between computer-generated (AI) speech and human speech. “Findings from this study on computer-generated AI speech suggest that older adults may be at a higher risk of being taken advantage of,” said Dr Bjorn Herrmann, Baycrest’s Canada Research Chair in Auditory Aging, Scientist at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute and lead author of this study.

“While this area of research is still in its infancy, further findings could lead to the development of training programmes for older adults to help them navigate these challenges,” he said.

In this study, which was the first to examine AI speech recognition in older adults, younger (~30 years) and older (~60 years) adults listened to sentences spoken by 10 different human speakers (five male, five female) and sentences created using 10 AI voices (5 male, 5 female). In one experiment, participants were asked how natural they found the human and AI voices to be. In another, they were asked to identify whether a sentence was spoken by a human or by an AI voice.

Results showed that compared to younger adults, older adults found AI speech more natural and were less able to correctly identify when speech was generated by a computer.

The reasons for this remain unclear and are the subject of follow-up research by Dr Herrmann and his team. While they have ruled out hearing loss and familiarity with AI technology as factors, it could be related to older adults’ diminished ability to recognise different emotions in speech.

“As we get older, we seem to pay more attention to the actual words in speech than to its rhythm and intonation when trying to get information about the emotions being communicated,” said Dr Herrmann, adding, “It could be that recognition of AI speech relies on the processing of rhythm and intonation rather than words, which could, in turn, explain older adults’ reduced ability to identify AI speech.”

In addition to helping develop AI-related training programmes, the results of this and future studies could help inform interactive AI technology for older adults. This kind of technology often relies on AI speech and has increasing applicability in medical, long-term care and other support spaces for older adults. For example, therapeutic AI robots can be used to comfort and calm individuals experiencing agitation due to dementia.

By better understanding how older adults perceive AI speech, we can ensure that AI technologies effectively meet their needs, ultimately improving their quality of life and helping them lead a life of purpose, inspiration and fulfilment.

GPT-4 is just a month old, and we already have another revolutionary AI tool- Auto-GPT. The open-source programme functions almost autonomously, it has a memory and also access to the internet. Basically, Auto-GPT can perform a task- from coming up a marketing plan to writing a podcast- without any human help. Does this mean we are a step closer to superintelligence? Listen in to Vikram Chandra.

Scientists in China said that they have conducted a landmark AI experiment in space, they say an Artificial Intelligence machine was given temporary full control of a satellite in near-earth orbit to test its behaviour in the space.

Chinese landmark AI-space experiment, controls satellite without human orders

Chinese scientists said that they were able to conduct a “landmark experiment” by allowing an artificial intelligence (AI) machine to take full control of a satellite temporarily in near-Earth orbit to test its behaviour in space.

Qimingxing 1, a small Earth observation satellite, was controlled by the AI for 24 hours, and it functioned without any human order, assignment or intervention, a paper published in the journal Geomatics and Information Science of Wuhan University stated.

Notably, the AI spotted a few places on Earth and ordered the satellite to “take a closer look”.

One of the targeted areas was the&nbsp;Patna city in India&nbsp;housing the Bihar Regiment – the Indian Army unit that clashed with Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley in 2020.

The other targeted area was Osaka, one of Japan’s busiest ports, which occasionally hosts US Navy vessels operating in the Pacific.

The scientists, however, did not explain why the AI machine made the satellite to specifically look for these two locations.

The research team, led by Wang Mi from the university’s State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, claimed that the aim of the experiment was to see what the AI would do of its own accord, reports South China Morning Post.

“This approach breaks the existing rules in mission planning,” said Wang and his colleagues in their paper published on April 3.

The research team was surprised by how AI could manage to order the satellite&nbsp;in space which has always been operated based on specific orders or assignments.

Usually, satellites are given assignments during unexpected events, such as war or an earthquake, to make long-term observations of particular targets.

Though AI has been prominently used in space programmes, such as image recognition, drawing flight paths and collision avoidance, this is the first that it was given control of a satellite, resulting in a waste of time and resources, the team noted.

“The satellites are expensive with a limited lifespan. It is urgent to make the most out of their value with new orbital applications,” the researchers said.

Chinese scientists let AI control satellite, it takes ‘closer look’ at specific spots in India, Japan

A recent study by the University of Colorado Riverside and University of Texas at Arlington in the United States studied the “water footprint” that large artificial intelligence models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT leave during their training. The water consumed to run ChatGPT which is used by billions of users across the world, is “extremely large,” said the study in a pre-print article titled “Making AI Less Thirsty.”

The study sheds light on the “water footprint” and how these AI models’ consumption of water has “remained under the radar,” said the researchers. It&nbsp;also distinguishes between “withdrawal” and “consumption,” as the former refers to the physical extraction of water from rivers, lakes, and other sources, as opposed to the latter which relates to the water loss due to evaporation when used in data centres.&nbsp;

According to the researchers at the US-based universities, when we are addressing consumption in this context, “water cannot be recycled,” which is where most of the AI’s water usage is concentrated. The yet-to-be peer-reviewed research, posted as a pre-print in arXiv also estimates a conversation comprising 20-50 questions with the AI chatbot in a single system may “drink” a “500ml bottle of water”.&nbsp;

“While a 500ml bottle of water might not seem too much, the total combined water footprint for inference is still extremely large, considering ChatGPT’s billions of users,” said the researchers.&nbsp;

The water consumed also refers to clean freshwater (to prevent corrosion and bacterial development) which the data centres use for generating electricity as well as for cooling servers to run AI models, which was studied using a framework created by the researchers.&nbsp;

The study claims that while training GPT-3 alone, Microsoft may have consumed a staggering 700,000 litres of water, which is the same amount used to make 370 BMW cars.

Microsoft, which has invested billions of dollars, has also partnered with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Meanwhile, scientists have also noted Google's Language Model for Dialogue Application (LaMDA) which is used by the giant’s AI chatbot Bard can also consume a “stunning” amount of water in the order of millions of litres.

Therefore, researchers have expressed their concerns over the massive consumption of water by these AI chatbots and called for the companies to “take social responsibility” and address their “water footprint”.&nbsp;

According to the study, if the data had been generated in the tech giants’ less energy-efficient data centres in Asia, water use may have increased threefold. The number may also increase with the newly-launched GPT-4 AI system which has a larger model size, finds the study.&nbsp;

Billonaire entrepreneur and Twitter CEO Elon Musk is going ahead with his artificial intelligence development plans at Twitter despite publicly endorsing a halt on AI dvelopment, said reports in US media on Tuesday (April 11).

Musk has bought thousands of powerful, costly computing processors and hired AI engineering talent, Insider reported, while another tech-focused outlet, the Information, said the entrepreneur has floated the idea of starting a rival to ChatGPT.

Musk had co-founded OpenAI, the San Francisco-based firm that developed ChatGPT but left it in 2018.&nbsp;

The Insider report came less than two weeks after Musk joined experts in signing a letter calling for a hiatus in the development of AI.

The open letter was published on the website of Musk-funded Future of Life Institute. It urged a six-month pause in development of powerful AI.

The billionaire Tesla boss and other luminaries wrote that "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity."

Signatories to the letter included academics and tech titans like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. They had said that the six-month pause should be used strengthen regulation.

Critics however called the letter a "hot mess" of "AI hype" that even misrepresented an academic paper. 
Musk's fledgling AI project at Twitter was said in the Insider report to involve training a language model to create written content.

Generative AI could also be put to work as a search or advertising tool, but it remained unclear what Musk intended its purpose to be at Twitter, the report said.

AFP reported that Twitter replied to a request for comment with a poop emoji.

Musk developing AI at Twitter despite own appeal for global pause: Report

OpenAI, the creator of sensational chatbot ChatGPT, on Tuesday, announced that it is offering a monetary reward of up to $20,000 to its users who can spot and report the vulnerabilities present in its artificial intelligence systems.

The OpenAI Bug Bounty programme went live on Tuesday and announced that the monetary rewards will be handed over to people on the basis of the severity of the bugs reported by them. The rewards will start from $200 and will vary on the size of the bugs uncovered.

ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/openais-chatgpt-blocked-in-italy-reports-577685">OpenAI’s ChatGPT blocked in Italy over alleged privacy violations</a>

It will range from $200 for “low-severity findings” to $20,000 for “exceptional discoveries”.

The company said the programme is being rolled out because it believes “transparency and collaboration” are important for finding vulnerabilities present in its technology.

“This initiative is an essential part of our commitment to developing safe and advanced AI,” read the blog post by Matthew Knight, OpenAI’s head of security. “As we create technology and services that are secure, reliable and trustworthy, we would like your help,” he added.

Bug bounty programmes are often used by technology companies to encourage ethical hackers and programmers to report the bugs present in their software systems.

As per the details shared on the bug bounty platform Bugcrowd, researchers have been invited by OpenAI to review ChatGPT's certain functionality and the framework of the way in which the systems developed by OpenAI communicate and share data with third-party applications.

The programme does not include malicious or incorrect content produced by OpenAI systems.

The programme doesn't come as a surprise because recently president and co-founder of OpenAI, Greg Brockman, had tweeted that OpenAI had been “considering starting a bounty programme” or network of “red-teamers” to spot weak spots.

The comments were made by him in response to a post written by a 22-year-old jailbreak prompt enthusiast, Alex Albert. Albert's website includes written prompts which help to break the safeguards of chatbots like ChatGPT.

Home Security Heroes, a group of online security experts, have found Artificial Intelligence or AI can crack more than 50 per cent of generally used passwords in less than a minute.

Home Security Heroes, a group of online security experts, have found Artificial Intelligence or AI can crack more than 50 per cent of generally used passwords in less than a minute. The study focuses on an AI password cracker called PassGAN. They tested a list of 15,680,000 passwords. The study revealed AI could breach over 51 per cent of passwords in less than 60 seconds. Furthermore, the AI can crack over 65 per cent of the passwords in less than an hour and 81 per cent within 30 days. However, Artificial Intelligence can crack only easy-to-predict and generic passwords within a minute. AI can easily guess small passwords with small character lengths. For instance, using your name or date of birth as a password makes it generic and easy to guess. AI takes longer to predict passwords with a combination of characters. The study revealed that passwords with 18 characters or more are safe from AI password crackers. AI will take up to ten months to crack passwords with 18 characters. Furthermore, it is difficult for the AI to break passwords with a mix of symbols, numbers, and upper and lower-case letters. Such passwords are secure as AI could take six quintillion years to decrypt them. ALSO READ | Models to go out of job? Vogue Singapore used AI models for cover shoot and it's worrisome Steps to stay safe from password-cracking AIs Here are a few steps one can follow to secure their passwords from an AI breach. Avoid using predictable or generic passwords, especially the ones containing only numbers. Passwords must have at least 15 characters and a mix of symbols, numbers and alphabets. Use a password manager to maintain your passwords across various accounts. Use at least two letters (upper and lower-case), numbers, and symbols in the password. Keep changing your passwords every three to six months as a practice. Avoid using one common password for all your accounts. You can also check whether your password is immune to AI on the official website of Home Security Heroes. The software allows you to check the time in which an AI-based software can crack your password. What is PassGAN? GAN in PassGAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network. It eliminates the requirement of manual password analysis and autonomously learns the distribution of real passwords. PassGAN is a threat to cybersecurity as it generates multiple password properties and enhances the quality of generic passwords. Cybercriminals can easily access your passwords using PassGAN and gain your personal information. Thus, it is important to regularly update your passwords.
