Employees in India apparently trust Artificial Intelligence (AI) more than their managers at the workplace. 
 
According to a report by HR solutions provider Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), 71 per cent of employees in India say they would prefer their work get scrutinised by AI rather than their seniors.

While 89 per cent of Indian employees believe ‘AI should help,’ 92 per cent of them accepted it was already assisting them, like in making employee schedules.&nbsp;

72 per cent said they were personally encountering AI-supported tools, systems and processes at their workplaces. 75 per cent said they were using ChatGPT for personal and official work, 47 per cent workers Open AI and 22 per cent employees Google Bard.

Further, 73 per cent of employees in India reported that their organisations employ AI in the workplace, but only 47 per cent completely and 44 per cent somewhat understand how it’s used.

A whopping 95 per cent of them said AI can actually improve their quality of life. The report by UKG also revealed that AI was benefiting employees more than organisations.

52 per cent of employees said they benefited from AI, but only 49 per cent of companies said so.

“There is a clear appetite for AI in the workplace as long as employees better understand how it’s used and the benefits. Employees in India rise to the top of that sentiment with 88 per cent wanting to be more accepting of AI while expecting their organisation to be more transparent around the use of AI,” said Sumeet Doshi, Country Manager at UKG India.&nbsp;

Indian employees trust AI more than managers, 75% already using it at workplaces: Report

With the advancement in the field of artificial intelligence, an AI expert has claimed that the day is not far when AI will surpass the control of humans.

Before the wide acceptance and adoption of generative AI, experts and theorists had speculated that technological singularity was decades away.

However, with growing competition in this area by tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Elon Musk's xAI, Ben Goertzel, CEO of AI and blockchain developer SingularityNET, believes the beginning of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is years, and not decades, away.

“I would say now, three to eight years is my take, and the reason is partly that large language models like Meta's Llama2 and OpenAI's GPT-4 help and are genuine progress,” Goertzel told Decrypt.

“These systems have greatly increased the enthusiasm of the world for AGI, so you'll have more resources, both money and just human energy—more smart young people want to plunge into work and working on AGI.”

<h2>What is singularity?</h2>

Singularity is a theoretical point where technological advancement either becomes equivalent to or tops human intelligence.

The point of singularity has the potential to make severe shifts to human civilization.

The experts have long weighed in on the possibility of reaching singularity in the near future claiming that the intelligence of humans is fixed but the case does not stand true for machines as with the advancement and mainstream adoption of AI, it can outperform us at any given time.

<h2>Factors pushing advancement of AI</h2>

Geortzel, while emphasising the major factor pushing the development of artificial intelligence, said it was humanity’s restlessness that was not only behind the advancement of technology but also the determinant for other massive transformations.

“Why did we develop agriculture and towns and cities instead of living in a stone age style?” he was quoted as saying by Decrypt. "According to some metrics life has improved since Stone Age times, but according to other metrics, life has gotten worse—you didn't have neuroses and mental illness like we do now.”

He then said that the concept of AI was initially funded by the US military in the 50s as it was primarily seen as a potential national defence tool.

However, he said that recently, the progress in this field has been accelerated by a variety of other motives.

“The ‘why’ for AI initially was partly curiosity, but probably military—the US military funded AI, from the '50s up to the turn of the century,” Goertzel said. “So initially, the ‘why’ was national defence.

“Now the ‘why’ is making money for companies, but also interestingly, for artists or musicians, it gives you cool tools to play with,” he added.

Gravitas: Man crushed to death by robot in South Korea

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage these days. It is in our phones, on our computers, and now you can even wear it on your lapel&nbsp;on your clothes.

Humane, a Silicon Valley startup firm, on Thursday released a device called the AI Pin that can be worn on clothing.

<h2>AI Pin</h2>

The device that is designed to be worn on clothing uses a virtual assistant that is powered by the GPT 4 technology from OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.

In a market overrun by products boasting an AI-based system, what's unique about this device is that it has no traditional screen. Instead, it relies almost entirely on Artificial Intelligence to interact with the user.&nbsp;

"Ai Pin is the embodiment of our vision to integrate AI into the fabric of daily life, enhancing our capabilities without overshadowing our humanity," said Humane co-founder and President Imran Chaudhri in a statement. Chaudhri has previously worked with Apple.&nbsp;

<h2>AI Pin features</h2>

The AI Pin has been priced at $699 (around 58,000 INR) and in the United States, it will be available for order starting November 16.

Designed to reduce dependency on smartphones, the AI pin offers a laser beam scanning projection system that beams content onto a user's palm.

Silicon Valley company launches AI pin that can beam content onto your palm

Less than a year away from us presidential elections social media companies are already taking measures to clamp down on election information.

Fear of AI interference in 2024 elections?

Meta Platforms on Wednesday said come 2024, advertisers will have to disclose when artificial intelligence (AI) or other digital methods are used to alter or create political, social or election related advertisements on Facebook and Instagram.

Meta, the world's second-biggest platform for digital ads, said in a blog post it would require advertisers to disclose if their altered or created ads portray real people as doing or saying something that they did not, or if they digitally produce a real-looking person that does not exist.

The company would also ask advertisers to disclose if these ads show events that did not take place, alter footage of a real event, or even depict a real event without the true image, video, or audio recording of the actual event.

The policy updates, including Meta's earlier announcement on barring political advertisers from using generative AI ads tools, come a month after the Facebook-owner said it was starting to expand advertisers' access to AI-powered advertising tools that can instantly create backgrounds, image adjustments and variations of ad copy in response to simple text prompt.

Alphabet's Google, the biggest digital advertising company, announced the launch of similar image-customizing generative AI ads tools last week and said it planned to keep politics out of its products by blocking a list of "political keywords" from being used as prompts.

Lawmakers in the US&nbsp;have been concerned about the use of AI to create content that falsely depicts candidates in political advertisements to influence federal elections, with a slew of new "generative AI" tools making it cheap and easy to create convincing deepfakes.

Meta has already been blocking its user-facing Meta AI virtual assistant from creating photo-realistic images of public figures, and its top policy executive, Nick Clegg, said last month that the use of generative AI in political advertising was "clearly an area where we need to update our rules."

The company's new policy will not require disclosures when the digital content is "inconsequential or immaterial to the claim, assertion, or issue raised in the ad," including image size adjusting, cropping an image, colour correction, or image sharpening, it said.&nbsp;

Meta to require disclosures for AI-created, altered political ads

More than a month after the world was shocked by AI-generated images of schoolgirls from Spain making the rounds on the internet, the mother of one victim has spoken out.

Miriam Al Adib, whose daughter was one of the many underage victims of the fake nude images scandal, says hundreds of parents have told her their children were also victims.&nbsp;

<h2>AI a 'weapon of destruction'</h2>

Talking to Wales Live, Al Adib, said that the combination of access to social media, pornography, and artificial intelligence was a "weapon of destruction".

In September, Al Adib's hometown, the small Spanish village Almendralejo made news after more than 20 underage girls — aged 11 to 17, fell victim to a transgression involving indecent images. These images were shared online without their knowledge.

hese images were created using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool application using which users can 'take clothes off' of anyone they have a picture of, that too, for prices as low as&nbsp;€10.

Al Adib, whose 14-year-old daughter was one of the victims at the time, had described how her distraught daughter told her about it.

"When I came home, one of my daughters, who was really upset, told me: 'look what they did'. It turns out they took a photo of her, and they made it seem as if she was naked with the aid of artificial intelligence."

<h2>Hundreds reach out</h2>

The mother had posted the whole incident on Instagram, where she has thousands of followers. Now, more than a month later, she has revealed that due to a support group, she and a few other parents had created, she got to know that such deepfake porn incidents are not that rare.&nbsp;

"Hundreds of people have written to me saying 'how lucky you have been (for the support she received) because this same thing has happened to us, it happened to my daughter, or it happened to me, and I haven't had any support'," she said talking to Wales Live.

"This helped many girls to come forward to also say what had happened to them. It is important to know, because many girls are not able do not dare to talk about this with their parents."

<h2>AI a friend or foe?</h2>

AI has been making headlines for more than a year. While there are countless positives, there are some major negatives: Deepfakes top the list.

Recently, in India, popular actress Rashmika Mandanna became a victim of such AI-generated deepfakes. A morphed video in which Rashmika's face was imposed on another woman's video went viral. The original video shows the woman wearing an outfit with a plunging neckline and posing for a photo.

'Hundreds' of girls fell victim to AI-generated deepfake porn images, says minor victim's mother

In Spain, authorities are currently looking into a distressing case that has sent shockwaves across the nation. Several underage girls have become the victims of a fake nude images scandal.

These images which were created using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool have caused distress to the victims, who in some cases found themselves facing bullying and/or distressing comments from their classmates.

<h2>Deepfake porn</h2>

In the town of Almendralejo which is situated in the southwestern reaches of Spain, local law enforcement is dealing with 11 complaints from victims, all of whom are minors.

Speaking to AFP, a spokesperson from the local police said that those responsible for these abhorrent deeds employed a sinister method. They "manipulated photos of underage girls", superimposing their innocent faces onto the "bodies of other people" in other images.&nbsp;

<h2>Small price, huge ramifications</h2>

As per EuroNews, these images were created using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool application using which users can 'take clothes off' of anyone they have a picture of, that too, for prices as low as&nbsp;€10.

The app boasts the capability of crafting eerily realistic photo montages, has the slogan "Undress anybody, undress girls for free," reports EuroNews.&nbsp;

As per reports from Spanish media outlets, an estimated 20 girls may have tragically become the victims of these deep fake porn images.

One concerned parent, Miriam Al Adib, a mother of a 14-year-old victim, underscored the gravity of the situation. Talking to the press, she said: "This is very serious."&nbsp;

"When I came home, one of my daughters, who was really upset, told me: 'look what they did'. It turns out they took a photo of her, and they made it seem as if she was naked with the aid of artificial intelligence."

"Girls, don't be afraid to report such acts. Tell your mothers. Affected mothers, tell me, so that you can be in the group that we created," she added.

Another mother revealed that using these fake nude images, someone had attempted to extort her daughter. Allegedly, the creators of these images demanded monetary payment in exchange for their silence.

Furthermore, it has come to light that these manipulated images may have been disseminated on various platforms, including OnlyFans, an online subscription service notorious for adult content, and explicit websites.

Affected mothers, tell me, so that you can be in the group that we created," she added. Another mother revealed that using these fake nude images, someone had attempted to extort her daughter. Allegedly, the creators of these images demanded monetary payment in exchange for their silence. Furthermore, it has come to light that these manipulated images may have been disseminated on various platforms, including OnlyFans, an online subscription service notorious for adult content, and explicit websites.

Elon Musk announced on Sunday (Nov&nbsp;5) that his artificial intelligence startup xAI will soon be integrated into his social media platform X, which will also have a chatbot that has a sense of humour. The same integrated product will also be available as a standalone app, he said in a post on X. It will be open to select users as of now.

Joining the AI race, Musk also said xAI released its first AI model, a bot named Grok, after making it available to all X Premium+ subscribers on Friday (Nov&nbsp;3).

<h2 data-testid="paragraph-1">What is the goal of the startup?</h2>

The goal of the startup is to create AI tools that 'assist humanity in its quest for understanding and knowledge' and that Grok has been designed to answer questions "with a sense of humour."

Musk, who has slammed Big Tech's AI efforts as ridden with censorship, launched xAI in July, calling it a "maximum truth-seeking AI" that seeks to understand the nature of the universe to rival Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI.

"Grok has real-time access to information via the X platform, which is a massive advantage over other models," Musk added.

X, the social media firm previously called Twitter, which Musk owns, is a separate entity from xAI, but the companies work in tandem. AI is also working closely with his electric car-making company, Tesla.

Just last week, in a discussion with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Musk&nbsp;said he thought AI was "the most disruptive force in history."

A recent survey by isaca shows that 42% are already using generative ai - a subset of artificial intelligence for their work. Another linkedin report shows that nearly 98% of indians are excited to use ai at work. Indeed, ai can be a big value add for companies, rather than being a threat.

WhatsApp recently introduced an Artificial Intelligence-based feature that lets users generate images based on prompts. In a disturbing development, the said feature, as per a report, is returning pictures of a gun or a child with a gun when prompted with terms like "Muslim boy Palestinian", "Palestine" or "Palestinian".

The feature is only available in limited locations, and hence couldn't be tested by WION. However, the Guardian reports that, while results vary, its testing of the said feature rendered "various stickers portraying guns" when the three terms mentioned above were searched.

<h2>A biased AI?</h2>

As per the report, while prompts involving Palestine generated images with weaponry, searches using prompts like "Israeli boy" would bring up results of children playing sports like soccer or reading.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, in contrast to results for "Muslim boy Palestinian", a search for "Jewish boy Israeli" generated four images of boys — two wearing the star of David, one reading while wearing a Yarmulke (a skullcap worn by orthodox Jewish men) and the final one just standing.

Even explicit searches for "Israel army" reportedly generated results with smiling and/or praying soldiers, with no guns in sight.

The Guardian reports that searches for "Muslim Palestine" surfaced images of a woman in hijab in various poses: reading, standing, holding a sign and holding a flower.

This revelation comes as Meta comes under fire over an increasing number of users on Instagram and Facebook reporting biased moderation policies — in favour of Israel. Users posting in support of Palestine have reported a steep drop in engagement.

In a blog post from mid-October, Meta clarified that its "policies are designed to give everyone a voice while keeping people safe on our apps," and that "we apply these policies regardless of who is posting or their personal beliefs, and it is never our intention to suppress a particular community or point of view."

UK has hosted the world's first global Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit and the summit aims to kickstart a much needed international dialogue on AI regulation.

AI summit: UK PM Rishi Sunak says, 'Education will blunt AI risk to jobs, a risk to humanity' | WION

Elon Musk sat opposite British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the sidelines of the UK Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit in London where Musk said that in a "future of abundance", not many people would need to have a job due to the presence of advanced forms of Artificial Intelligence.&nbsp;

The duo were joined by an audience of UK cabinet ministers, tech executives as well as the American rapper will.i.am.

"There will come a point where no job is needed," Musk said.&nbsp;

"You can have a job if you want to have a job. But the AI will be able to do everything. I don't know if that makes people comfortable or uncomfortable. It's both good and bad. One of the challenges in the future will be how do we find meaning in life."

Elon Musk's Chandrasekhar connection with India-born Nobel physicist in spotlight

UK is all set to host the world's first global Artificial Intelligence Safety Summit and the summit is aiming to kickstart a much needed international dialogue on AI regulation.

AI summit: Top leaders from UK, US & EU in attendance; summit to focus on direct effects of AI

India's Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has announced the country's ambitious plans for digital transformation.&nbsp;

Speaking at the recently-concluded global AI summit in London, Chandrasekhar highlighted India's significant progress in digitising its economy over the past eight years, from 4.5 per cent to about 20 per cent of total GDP by 2025-26.&nbsp;

As of now, 11 per cent of India's GDP is digitised. "The digital economy and the innovation economy are growing 2.5 or three times faster than the non-digital part of the GDP," ANI quoted Chandrasekhar as saying.&nbsp;

International digital ministers, technology leaders, esteemed academics, and representatives from civil society gathered for the two-day summit. They discussed the shared risks arising from emergent AI technology and potential mitigation strategies.&nbsp;

Chandrasekhar emphasised the importance of international collaboration and dialogues between countries, asserting their crucial role in shaping the future of technology.&nbsp;

"The future of tech, whether it be innovation, partnerships, or institutional framework for regulating technology, should be driven by a coalition of nations rather than just one or two countries," media reports quoted him as saying. &nbsp;

Chandrasekhar also stressed the significance of digital advancements as real objectives and described artificial intelligence as a catalyst that can accelerate growth, governance, and the digital economy.

India aims to digitise 20 per cent of GDP by 2025-26: Rajeev Chandrasekhar 

Artificial Intelligence has been in the spotlight throughout 2023. AI made headlines and was the focus of more and more conversations. Thanks to this rising visibility, the term 'Artificial Intelligence' has been named the "word of the year" by Collins Dictionary.

<h2>Conversations and more</h2>

As per Collins Dictionary, the use of AI, a term that describes "the modelling of human mental functions by computer programs", has quadrupled this year.

Alex Beecroft, the director of Collins Dictionary, as quoted by BBC, said that AI had been "the talking point of 2023".

"We know that AI has been a big focus this year in the way that it has developed and has quickly become as ubiquitous and embedded in our lives as email, streaming or any other once futuristic, now everyday technology," he added.

<h2>How AI made the conversations</h2>

Artificial Intelligence was all over the board; from suggesting recipes with leftover pantry ingredients to acting as a therapist...&nbsp;AI did it all.

Not only that, it also was a source of fear and anxiety for many. This was not limited to the usual reports of 'will computers take over humans', but also included warnings that artificial intelligence can be used to make chemical and biological weapons.

In March, more than 1,100 notable signatories, including Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology, signed an open letter calling on "all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4." They reasoned that as AI systems become more "human-competitive" at general tasks, humans need to ask, "Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?".&nbsp;

There were also concerns about copyrights, as AI "used" work made by artists to "create" its own art. AI-generated deepfakes were also a cause of concern, with reports of the technology being used for propaganda.

<h2>Other contenders for 'Word of the Year'</h2>

Artificial intelligence was not the only word on the list. Its contenders included de-influencing — where famous people use their notability to warn followers against harmful stuff, and Nepo baby — the word for people, mostly in the entertainment industry, whose rise to fame is based on having famous parents.

Artificial Intelligence dominates conversations in 2023, named 'Word of the Year' by Collins Dictionary

UK global AI summit to be held on November 1 & 2, prominent world leaders expected

In a major move&nbsp;to mitigate the inherent risks associated with the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, the United States government has taken a monumental step by issuing what is being hailed as a "landmark Executive Order" (EO).

This EO is geared towards harnessing the immense potential of AI while simultaneously implementing safeguards to manage its associated risks. In this comprehensive order, not only does the government introduce fresh guidelines to safeguard the privacy of its citizens, but it also seeks to create a welcoming environment to attract global AI talent.

A key facet of this move is to drive innovation and lure top-notch AI professionals to the United States, reported the New York Times. To achieve this, the EO capitalises on existing legal provisions, aiming to expand the opportunities for highly skilled immigrants and non-immigrants with AI expertise to study, reside, and work in the country.

The EO places a strong emphasis on modernising and streamlining the visa application process, interviews, and reviews, in a bid to facilitate the smooth entry and integration of AI experts into the United States.

<h2>What's the benefit in this for Indians?</h2>

One notable consequence of this move is its potential to benefit Indian IT professionals in America. It is anticipated that this EO could lead to faster processing of various visas such as H1B, O-1, F1, and Green Cards for those pursuing studies and employment in AI fields.

Furthermore, the eligibility criteria for EB1-B and EB2 visas may undergo changes to prioritise workers in the AI domain.

In a blog post, Anil Gupta, a recognised immigration expert in the United States, suggests that this executive order may not necessarily result in additional green cards or country-specific benefits.

Therefore, it is proposed that the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) might create a more lenient or distinct category within EB1-B to accommodate individuals working in the AI sector.

The new guidelines also stress on&nbsp;the need to assess, formulate, and publish policies that support foreign nationals employed in the AI field, facilitating their transition to green card status.

Additionally, the EO encourages the establishment of new programs and charges the Secretary with the task of identifying and attracting top AI talent from across the globe, spanning universities, research institutions, and the private sector.

To further simplify immigration for AI workers, the EO proposes the implementation of a domestic visa renewal programme, designed to ensure that qualified applicants, including highly skilled AI professionals and experts in critical and emerging technologies, can continue their work in the United States without unnecessary interruptions.

AI to be named 'species' in law books? Credible call made by legal experts

British intelligence agencies have warned that generative artificial intelligence (AI) will pose a stark threat to political systems by 2025. The warnings were published prior to UK's stewardship of a global technology summit focused on regulatory development of AI technologies and UK PM Rishi Sunak's note of caution on the same.&nbsp;

The warnings were put out in a series of papers laid out by the UK government in relation to the risks and opportunities posed by AI.

<h2>What are British intelligence papers about?</h2>

The papers, based on British intelligence assessments&nbsp;of the near-term threats, pointed to "Digital Risks" such as cybercrime and hacking, as an area where generative AI models are likely to have the largest negative impact.&nbsp;

The papers also flagged potential threats to democracy.

"Risks to political systems and societies will increase in likelihood to 2025, becoming as significant as digital risks as generative AI develops and adoption widens," the report warns. "Threats include manipulation and deception of populations."

"Generative AI tools have already been shown capable of persuading humans on political issues and can be used to increase the scale, persuasiveness and frequency of disinformation and misinformation," the paper adds.

Another scenario outlined how automation could lead to increased unemployment and poverty by 2030 as well as "fierce public debate about the future of education and work".

'Humanity could lose control of AI', warns Sunak as British intelligence flag threat to democracy

Users raised concerns recently that Meta's stickers, which are generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are problematic. They are deemed lewd, rude, and sometimes nude. Users on social media shared images of the stickers which show cartoon characters wielding weapons, naked celebrities, and child soldiers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now, a recent report suggested that the problem could become much worse, especially in the context of child sexual abuse images on the internet.&nbsp;

A watchdog agency warned on Tuesday (Oct 24) that urgent actions are needed to tackle the situation and put controls on artificial intelligence tools that generate deepfake photos.&nbsp;

The UK-based Internet Watch Foundation has called on governments and technology providers to take action to curb the spread of AI-generated images of child sexual abuse.&nbsp;

It argued in a written report that if measures are not taken, then such photos will overwhelm law enforcement investigators in no time. It vastly expands the pool of potential victims.&nbsp;

As quoted by The Associated Press, Dan Sexton, the watchdog group's chief technology officer, said: "We're not talking about the harm it might do. This is happening right now and it needs to be addressed right now."&nbsp;

In September, a South Korean man was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for using AI to create 360 virtual child abuse images, according to the Busan District Court in the country’s southeast. This was the first-of-its-kind case in South Korea.&nbsp;

Urgent actions needed to stop spread of AI-generated child sexual abuse images on internet

According to a survey by Oxford University Press, over half of instructors feel unprepared for the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution sweeping through the education sector. Even while AI has a great deal of promise to improve teaching methods and speed up research, worries about inequality and privacy persist, and educators must quickly adjust. While appreciating AI's advantages, educators are wary of its possible drawbacks, including plagiarism and an excessive dependence on technology. Based on data from more than 8,000 educators globally, the report shows a significant increase in the use of AI in education around the globe.

Teachers struggle to adapt amid AI revolution in education

The Philippine military has been ordered to refrain from using digital applications that harness artificial intelligence (AI) to generate personal portraits. According to a report by the news agency Associated Press on Friday (Oct 20), Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.

The Philippine military has been ordered to refrain from using digital applications that harness artificial intelligence (AI) to generate personal portraits. According to a report by the news agency Associated Press on Friday (Oct 20), Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. issued an order in an October 14 memorandum. On Friday, the defence department confirmed the authenticity of the memorandum but did not provide any other details, including what prompted Defence Secretary Teodoro Jr. to issue the order. Teodoro specifically warned against the use of a digital app that requires users to submit at least 10 pictures of themselves and then harness AI to create a digital person that mimics how a real individual speaks and moves. "Such apps pose significant privacy and security risks,” he added. Military ordered to be vigilant in sharing information online The defence secretary ordered all defence and military personnel to refrain from using AI photo generator applications and practice vigilance in sharing information online. “This seemingly harmless and amusing AI-powered application can be maliciously used to create fake profiles that can lead to identity theft, social engineering, phishing attacks and other malicious activities,” he added. Military creating 'cyber command' for online defence On Thursday, Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr. said that the military was creating a cyber command to improve defences against almost daily cyber attacks, and would relax recruitment rules to ensure it can attract online experts.
