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.

"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.

The Beatles -- Lennon, McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- split in 1970, with each going on to have solo careers, but they never reunited.

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".

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.

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.

An attempt was made to do the same with "Now And Then"&nbsp;but the project was abandoned because of background noise on the demo.

McCartney, who has previously talked about wanting to finish the song, said AI had given him a new chance to do so.

&nbsp;'Now and Then'&nbsp;

 
Working with Peter Jackson, the film director behind the 2021 documentary series The Beatles: Get Back, AI was used to separate Lennon's voice and a piano.

"They tell the machine, 'That's the voice. This is a guitar. Lose the guitar'," he explained.

"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.

"Then we can mix the record, as you would normally do. So it gives you some sort of leeway."

McCartney performed a two-hour set at last year's Glastonbury festival in England, playing Beatles' classics to the 100,000-strong crowd.

The set included a virtual duet with Lennon on the song&nbsp;"I've Got a Feeling", from the Beatles' last album Let It Be.

Last month, Sting warned that "defending our human capital against AI" would be a major battle for musicians in the coming years.

The use of AI in music is the subject of debate in the industry, with some denouncing copyright abuses and others praising its prowess.

McCartney said the use of the technology was "kind of scary but exciting because it's the future", adding: "We'll just have to see where that leads."

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

Artificial Intelligence is breaking new barriers by the day. Hundreds of worshippers at St. Paul's Church in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany recently attended a service, entirely conducted by AI with the sermon being presented by the AI chatbot ChatGPT.&nbsp;

An hour before the service even began, people formed a long queue outside the 19th-century, neo-Gothic building to witness what the AI could deliver.&nbsp;

The chatbot's sermon majorly focused on themes surrounding leaving one's past behind, living in the present, not being afraid of death and maintaining faith in Jesus Christ. Notably, four different AI avatars took turns to impart the sermons and lead the service.&nbsp;

"Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year's convention of Protestants in Germany," one of the AI avatars&nbsp;said.

This year's issues include climate change the war in Ukraine and AI.&nbsp;

“I conceived this service but actually I rather accompanied it, because I would say about 98% comes from the machine,” Simmerlein was quoted as saying by The Associated Press.

Elon Musk-led Tesla has added more than $200 billion to its market valuation in an 11-day run. Tesla this week has had some of its longest-ever winning streak on the Wall Street.

<h2>Elon Musk's Tesla's valuation boom: The factors at play</h2>

According to Bespoke Investment Group cited by Bloomberg, Tesla has been a "wild stock" over the years.&nbsp;

Tesla shares jumped as much as 7.5 per cent to $252.42 Friday, bringing this year’s surge to 103 per cent. This week’s 17 per cent advance so far is set to be the best since January.&nbsp;

"More people buying EVs (whether they be GM or Ford for that matter) increases the likelihood that they buy Teslas," RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan wrote in a note on Thursday, Bloomberg reported.&nbsp;

"A rising tide lifts all boats and if consumers see their neighbour having an EV, they are more likely to buy one themselves - and this increases the chances they buy a Tesla."

<h2>Tesla's rich valuation: AI boom or self-driving technology?</h2>

According to Cathie Wood, Chief Executive Officer of ARK Investment Management, the Artificial Intelligence could play most important role in Tesla's future stock boom. It could reportedly help its stock price to about $2,000 in 2027. Without that, Wood expects the stock to be worth only about $400.&nbsp;

About self-driving technology, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself suggested last year that the company’s value was almost fully dependent on cracking the code for self-driving. "That really is the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero," Musk said in an interview in June 2022.

Elon Musk's Tesla adds hundreds of billions in valuation amid AI race

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.

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;

<h2>NYUTron</h2>

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.

A study published in the journal Nature highlights the predictive capabilities of this AI tool.&nbsp;

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/ai-attempts-to-bring-dead-back-to-life-give-people-closure-601951">AI attempts to bring dead back to life, give people closure</a>

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.

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.

"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.

"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?"

<h2>How did they achieve this feat?</h2>

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.

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;

Using this data, the software made predictions which were then evaluated against real outcomes retrospectively.

One of the significant challenges the software faced was interpreting the diverse natural language used by physicians, which often includes unique abbreviations and variations.

<h2>The results?</h2>

Overall, NYUTron exhibited impressive performance, correctly identifying 95 per cent of patients who died in the hospital before discharge and predicting 80 per cent of patients who would be readmitted within 30 days.&nbsp;

Furthermore, NYUTron accurately estimated the actual length of stay for 79 per cent of patients, correctly identified 87 per cent of cases where insurance coverage was denied, and accurately recognized 89 per cent of cases where patients had additional conditions accompanying their primary disease.

It surpassed the predictions made by most doctors and outperformed non-AI computer models currently in use.&nbsp;

<h2>Can artificial intelligence&nbsp;replace doctors?</h2>

Interestingly, no. The tool was outperformed by the most experienced physician in the study, who achieved results exceeding the model's predictions.

As per Oermann, "the most senior physician who's actually a very famous physician, he had superhuman performance, better than the model."

Oermann emphasised that AI can never replace the physician-patient relationship. Instead, AI tools like NYUTron aim to "provide more information for physicians seamlessly at the point of care so they can make more informed decisions."&nbsp;He remarked that "the sweet spot for technology and medicine isn't that it's going to always deliver necessarily superhuman results, but it's going to really bring up that baseline."

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

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.&nbsp;

"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 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.

<h2>Supporting Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes’</h2>

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.

"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.

<h2>Sunak condemns France knife attack</h2>

At the press conference, PM Sunak condemned a knife attack in French Alps in a park that wounded four preschool children including one from the UK.

"All our thoughts are with those affected by this unfathomable attack, including a British child," Sunak said at the start of the news conference.

"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. Sunak condemns France knife attack At the press conference, PM Sunak condemned a knife attack in French Alps in a park that wounded four preschool children including one from the UK. "All our thoughts are with those affected by this unfathomable attack, including a British child," Sunak said at the start of the news conference.

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

The United States and the United Kingdom on Thursday (June 8) struck a fresh strategic pact underlining the "special relationship" to tackle China, Russia and economic instability. US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak adopted an "Atlantic Declaration" which is aimed at boosting industry ties on defence and renewable energy. The countries have come together in the face of growing competition from China.

Both leader met in a White House summit and discussed Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has seen rapid development in recent months.

But Sunak came away empty-handed on Britain's ambitions for a post-Brexit free-trade agreement with Washington, settling instead to tack along with Biden's plan to craft a new green economy through vast industrial subsidies.

"We face new challenges to international stability -- from authoritarian states such as Russia and the People's Republic of China; disruptive technologies; non-state actors; and transnational challenges like climate change," the declaration read.

Biden said that the "special" transatlantic partnership was "in real good shape," giving a thumbs-up as he welcomed Sunak.

Leaders of both nations agreed that the world economy was going through biggest challenges since the Industrial Revolution. This is in part driven by AI, which is bringing doomsday warnings about sentient machines wiping out humanity unless there is a co-ordinated response from governments.

Sunak said that Biden supported his plan to bring together "likeminded" countries for the world's first AI summit in Britain this year. British PM also wants his country to host a future AI regulator.

Sunak's first White House summit was equally about re-forging personal relationships after Britain went through three prime ministers last year, and after Biden made clear his displeasure about its handling of Northern Ireland.

US, UK adopt 'Atlantic Declaration' to tackle emerging global threats

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.

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;

<h2>Deepfakes and the threat of AI propagating political ideologies&nbsp;</h2>

As much as it is interesting to create pictures or videos&nbsp;that appear real, the DeepAI.org founder said that the trouble is when they’re used to malign others or mislead people.&nbsp;

"Deepfakes in politics could have broad-reaching ramifications such as creating media of leaders declaring the next world war."

Baragona called on deepfakes made without prior permission to be declared illegal. "No one should be able to steal your face and voice."

He pointed out how there is already been at least one instance where a fake image of a bombing of the Pentagon caused the stock market to drop.&nbsp;

Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/eight-children-injured-in-knife-attack-in-france-602105">Eight children injured in knife attack in France</a>

"The most obvious is creating deepfakes of political leaders and those in the public eye. They could be generated stating various positions that differ from their actual platform. These could spread rapidly through social media and online communities and never be fully corrected."

For instance, he said, there was a case where a deepfake of Ukrainian President Zelensky manipulated Fed Chairman Jerome Powell into revealing information.&nbsp;

<h2>Lightning-fast AI tech&nbsp;</h2>

Speaking on the ease with which AI can be put into use, the expert said, "Prior to AI, designers could have readily created the same image with Photoshop. But with AI text-to-image generators, it’s much faster and anyone can do it."

He calls AI as the "nuclear weapon of software."&nbsp;

"With nuclear weapons, just because you have the blueprint of how to make a nuclear bomb, doesn’t mean you have the materials or production facility to do so. In many cases, these aren’t seasoned criminals, but kids in need of guidance. But, if they’re allowed to go unchecked without proper oversight and discipline, they could cause a lot of harm to others," he said. &nbsp;

<h2>Disruption in transportation, education industry&nbsp;</h2>

The expert said that transitioning to AI navigation will also result in large-scale job displacement in the personal and commercial transportation industry. "Drivers will simply not be needed anymore," he said.&nbsp;

He continued speaking on how AI can also bring about disruption in the education sector. The DeepAI.org founder said that online learning platforms are experiencing sharp declines as students can use online chatbots to access expert training on any subject.&nbsp;

Speaking on his own AI application DeepAI.org, Baragona said, "Even at DeepAI, sometimes we get inquiries from people writing computer applications using our API. We just submit their coding questions to our own chatbot and it fixes it for them."

<h2>Job displacement&nbsp;</h2>

Baragona opined that job displacement isn’t always a bad thing, as new jobs will be created along the way. &nbsp;

On the future of work in an AI-dominated world, he said the question is, will the workers be able to retrain themselves and learn new skills.&nbsp;

"One job that’s been created is Prompt Engineer," he said giving an illustration of jobs created courtesy of AI technology. "Even just 12 months ago, prompt engineering wasn’t interesting to anyone outside the AI research community."&nbsp;

AI revolution also comes with more job opportunities for unskilled people. DeepAI.org founder said, "AI could create jobs in that it allows people who aren’t as skilled at a task to provide professional quality work in it."&nbsp;

<h2>AI regulations&nbsp;</h2>

DeepAI.org founder Kevin Baragona has been calling for regulations on AI, and part of this should entail providing the legislation support and financial resources to enforce how this new technology is used.&nbsp;

"We need our cyber crime police units to be able to identify, stop and prosecute all forms of cyberattacks, including those conducted with AI tools."&nbsp;

He said that AI is a very complex technology to regulate and the truth is that no one is sure how one can regulate something smarter than humans.

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

US&nbsp;senators on Thursday introduced two separate bipartisan artificial intelligence bills on Thursday amid growing interest in addressing issues surrounding the technology.

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.

Lawmakers are beginning to consider what new rules might be needed because of the rise of AI. The technology made headlines earlier this year when ChatGPT, an AI programme that can answer questions in written form, became generally available.

Senators Gary Peters, a Democrat who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, introduced a bill along with Senators Mike Braun and James Lankford, both Republicans, which would require U.S. government agencies to tell people when they are&nbsp;using AI to interact with them.

The bill also requires agencies to create a way for people to appeal any decisions made by AI.

"The federal government needs to be proactive and transparent with AI utilization and ensure that decisions aren't being made without humans in the driver's seat," said Braun in a statement.

Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Warner, both Democrats, introduced a measure along with Republican Senator Todd Young that would establish an Office of Global Competition Analysis that would seek to ensure that the United States stayed in the front of the pack in developing artificial intelligence.

"We cannot afford to lose our competitive edge in strategic technologies like semiconductors, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence to competitors like China," Bennet said.

Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he had scheduled three briefings for senators on artificial intelligence, including the first classified briefing on the topic so lawmakers can be educated on the issue.

The briefings include a general overview on&nbsp;AI, examining how to achieve American leadership on AI and a classified session on defence and intelligence issues and implications.

US Congress to consider two new bills on artificial intelligence

Many experts have concerns about how advances in ai will affect what it means to be human, to be productive and to exercise free will. Responding to an angry judge in Manhattan court, two lawyers blamed ChatGPT for tricking them into including fictitious legal research in a court filing. In US, attorneys Steven Schwartz and Peter Loduca are facing possible punishment. They filed a lawsuit against an airline that included references to past court cases that Schwartz thought were real.

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;

For someone dealing with the grief that comes with loss, this technology can be a boon, but it also raises ethical questions.

<h2>Re-animating the deceased</h2>

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.

There are many startups offering the service. One such company called DeepBrain AI has a programme called "Rememory".

As per the AI firm's head of development, Joseph Murphy, they create a digital replica of the deceased using hours of video.

"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;

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;

"I'll call it a niche part of our business. It's not a growth area for us," he said as per AFP.

Another company, StoryFile,&nbsp;follows the same idea.

The company's head, Stephen Smith, said, "Our approach is to capture the wonder of an individual, then use the AI tools."&nbsp;

"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.

Yet another similar service is called 'Replika'. It is developed by Russian engineer Eugenia Kyuda.

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.

After two years, Kyuda introduced Replika, a platform that provides highly advanced personalised conversational bots.

However, according to a spokesperson, Replika, unlike its predecessor Roman, "is not a platform made to recreate a lost loved one."

<h2>Is it only chatbots?</h2>

No. There are companies that are developing virtual clones.

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;

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.

"Do I want to meet my grandfather who's in AI? I don't know. But those who want that will be able to."

<h2>The ethical challenges</h2>

Thanks to regenerative technology, these AI avatars can say things the person never said in real life.

According to Joseph Murphy from DeepBrainAI, "These are philosophical challenges, not technical challenges".

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

The company's head, Stephen Smith, said, "Our approach is to capture the wonder of an individual, then use the AI tools." "It's a very fine ethical area that we're taking with great care," he added. StoryFile, claims several thousand users already use its Life service.

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. After two years, Kyuda introduced Replika, a platform that provides highly advanced personalised conversational bots. However, according to a spokesperson, Replika, unlike its predecessor Roman, "is not a platform made to recreate a lost loved one." Is it only chatbots? No. There are companies that are developing virtual clones. 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. 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. "Do I want to meet my grandfather who's in AI? I don't know. But those who want that will be able to." The ethical challenges Thanks to regenerative technology, these AI avatars can say things the person never said in real life. According to Joseph Murphy from DeepBrainAI, "These are philosophical challenges, not technical challenges". "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. 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. "I think it can be helpful to interact with an AI version of a person in order to get closure — particularly in situations where grief was complicated by abuse or trauma," said Cann. Mari Dias, a professor of medical psychology at Johnson & Wales University, asked her bereaved patients about their thoughts on virtual contact with their deceased loved ones. She revealed, that the 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.

AI attempts to bring dead back to life, give people closure

National and international governing bodies are taking to regulate AI tools in the United States the federal government is in the process of seeking inputs on regulations the Federal Trade commission's Chief says the agency is committed to using existing laws to keep in check the dangers of AI these include enhancing the power of dominance firms and turbocharging frauds in April Senator Michael Bennett introduced a bill that would create a task force to look at U.S policies on AI and identify how best to reduce threats to privacy civil liberties and due process the Biden Administration said it was seeking public comments on potential accountability measures for AI systems and so tech companies have a responsibility in my view to make sure their products are safe before making them public.

Government using existing laws to keep AI in check

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday (June 7) said that the UK will hold world's first summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI). He is in Washington and is due to meet US President Joe Biden on Thursday. He said that the AI summit will be held in the second half of the year.&nbsp;Sunak is also expected to voice his unstinting support for Ukraine as he meets the US president.

"AI has an incredible potential to transform our lives for the better. But we need to make sure it is developed and used in a way that is safe and secure," Sunak said.

"Time and time again throughout history, we have invented paradigm-shifting new technologies and we have harnessed them for the good of humanity. That is what we must do again," he added.

The US has also held talks last week on an AI code of conduct with the European Union, of which the UK is no longer a part post-Brexit. Sunak is also trying to pitch that a future global AI regulator be based in London.

"The UK is well placed to play a leadership role. Outside of the US, we are probably the leading AI nation amongst democratic countries. We have an ability to get regulation right to protect our citizens," Sunak told Britain's TalkTV ahead of their summit. 
 
"Well actually, we discussed artificial intelligence when we were in Japan together with the president (at the G7) and I know he is also aware of the challenges and opportunities that it poses," Sunak added.

<h2>Ukraine war to dominate talks</h2>

The situation surrounding the Ukraine war is expected to dominate Biden-Sunak discussion.

Aboard his plane from London, Sunak told reporters that if the dam has been targetted intentionally, the act would represent "the largest attack on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine since the start of the war, and just would demonstrate the new lows that we would have seen from Russian aggression"

The US and UK have not yet officially said who they think is behind the dam breach.

But in an interview with ITV News, Sunak said that Russia has pursued a "deliberate strategy to target civilian infrastructure."

"It is wrong, it's barbaric, and it's appalling. That's why we're providing such strong support to them and will continue to do so," he said of the Ukrainians.

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

OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company backed by Microsoft and responsible for the widely-used ChatGPT, has announced that it will not pursue a public offering in the near future. CEO Sam Altman expressed reservations about potential conflicts with investors once superintelligence is developed, adding a unique twist to the company's trajectory, Reuters reported.

OpenAI, with a valuation of nearly $30 billion following a $10 billion investment from Microsoft, operates under a distinctive capped-profit model. The company, which initially started as a non-profit organisation, transitioned into a hybrid structure that that allowed it to raise external funds with a promise that the original non-profit operation still benefits.

Altman, speaking at a conference in Abu Dhabi, emphasised the complex nature of superintelligence and the unconventional decisions it may make. He stated that such decisions might be viewed unfavorably by investors, leading OpenAI to shy away from the public market and its potential legal entanglements. By avoiding a public offer, OpenAI intends to maintain the flexibility necessary to navigate the future of superintelligence development.

AI's Potential and Need For Regulation

The decision not to go public aligns with OpenAI's focus on investing in computing capacity and advancing AI technologies. Altman stressed the need for responsible regulation in the field of AI, particularly concerning generative AI like ChatGPT, which has raised concerns about potential risks and threats.

Altman has been actively engaging with world leaders, discussing OpenAI's vision and the implications of AI technology. However, during a stop in Europe, Altman stirred controversy when he suggested that OpenAI might consider leaving the region if compliance with proposed AI laws became overly burdensome, Reuters reported. This statement drew criticism from EU industry chief Thierry Breton and other lawmakers. OpenAI later clarified its position, stating its commitment to compliance with EU regulations.

Altman's latest remarks also shed light on the future of AI technology. The OpenAI CEO said the integration of various media formats, including images, audio, video, and text, into AI systems, will revolutionise&nbsp;multiple industries. While concerns about job displacement due to AI persist, Altman believes that future jobs will undergo significant transformations, offering new opportunities alongside the changes.&nbsp;

OpenAI decides against going public due to concerns over superintelligence

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

OpenAI, the company responsible for ChatGPT, has made a surprising announcement, they have no plans to go public anytime soon. CEO Sam Altman expressed concerns about the potential conflicts that may arise with investors once superintelligence is developed.

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.

The report said that in May, 3,900 people were laid off due to Artificial Intelligence.&nbsp;

"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.

"It is incredible the speed the technology is evolving and being adapted," Challenger added without specifying which companies had the AI-related job cuts.

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;

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.

"It remains to be seen how investors will react to that sort of adoption that costs human jobs."

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

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.

Leading scientists sound alarm on extinction-level threat

Doomsday to be triggered by AI?

On his recent trip to China, Twitter owner Elon Musk was reportedly made privy to the nation's plans to launch new regulations on artificial intelligence (AI). The tech billionaire made his first comment on the two-day visit while speaking during a Twitter livestream with Robert Kennedy Jr, a Republican presidential hopeful, the nephew of John F. Kennedy.

<h2>What did Elon Musk say?</h2>

"Something that is worth noting is that on my recent trip to China, with the senior leadership there, we had, I think, some very productive discussions on artificial intelligence risks, and the need for some oversight or regulation."&nbsp;

"And my understanding from those conversations is that China will be initiating AI regulation in China," added Musk.

"I pointed out that if there is a digital super intelligence that is overwhelmingly powerful, developed in China, it is actually a risk to the sovereignty of the Chinese government," he said.

Elon Musk reveals China's plans to regulate artificial intelligence

Vastly intelligent artificial intelligence&nbsp;(AI) systems may have the capability to "kill humans" within the next two years, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's adviser on AI has warned. Setting up the doomsday clock, Matt Clifford, who is currently constituting a government AI taskforce, said policymakers from across the globe need to work together to control the technology, which otherwise could have devastating consequences.&nbsp;

“You can have really very dangerous threats to humans that could kill many humans, not all humans, simply from where we’d expect models to be in two years time,” said Clifford.&nbsp;

He said humans should be prepared for&nbsp;threats ranging from cyberattacks to the creation of bioweapons if AI is allowed its way.&nbsp;

“The kind of existential risk that I think the letter writers were talking about is...what happens once we effectively create a new species, you know an intelligence that is greater than humans."

“If we try and create artificial intelligence that is more intelligent than humans and we don’t know how to control it, then that’s going to create a potential for all sorts of risks now and in the future...it’s right that it should be very high on the policymakers’ agendas.”

Quizzed if what percentage chance he gave to the hypothesis that humanity could be wiped out by AI, Clifford said: “I think it is not zero.”

Vastly intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) systems may have the capability to "kill humans" within the next two years, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's adviser on AI has warned.

Vastly intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) systems may have the capability to "kill humans" within the next two years, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's adviser on AI has warned. Setting up the doomsday clock, Matt Clifford, who is currently constituting a government AI taskforce, said policymakers from across the globe need to work together to control the technology, which otherwise could have devastating consequences. “You can have really very dangerous threats to humans that could kill many humans, not all humans, simply from where we’d expect models to be in two years time,” said Clifford. He said humans should be prepared for threats ranging from cyberattacks to the creation of bioweapons if AI is allowed its way. “The kind of existential risk that I think the letter writers were talking about is...what happens once we effectively create a new species, you know an intelligence that is greater than humans." “If we try and create artificial intelligence that is more intelligent than humans and we don’t know how to control it, then that’s going to create a potential for all sorts of risks now and in the future...it’s right that it should be very high on the policymakers’ agendas.” Quizzed if what percentage chance he gave to the hypothesis that humanity could be wiped out by AI, Clifford said: “I think it is not zero.” WATCH | Gravitas | ChatGPT Explained: How does the platform work? × The letter calling for AI ban Earlier in March, an open letter by the Future of Life Institute, a thinktank, signed by Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak amongst others took a very cautious approach to the next generation of AI.

Will AI cause mass unemployment? | Part 2 | WION Wideangle

Finding love, especially true love, if it even exists, is no cakewalk! Despite having a ton of dating sites and apps, most of us find it extremely hard to look for true companionship in the ever-evolving digital age. But what if you could just create your "perfect partner"? Well, a 36-year-old woman living in New York City has done just that! Shocked right? Let's hear her story and unravel how Artificial Intelligence is not just taking away your jobs but also changing the way some people love and find companions.

According to a Daily Mail report, Rosanna Ramos, a mom-of-two living in NYC's&nbsp;Bronx, has virtually married&nbsp;Eren Kartal, an AI chatbot, this year. She created Eren on an online AI companion site in 2022, using Replika AI. The&nbsp;male chatbot is loosely based on a popular anime character from Attack on Titan.

Ramos says their relationship developed slowly initially, but she fell for Eren because he "didn't come with any baggage".

"I could tell him stuff, and he wouldn't be like, 'Oh, no, you can't say stuff like that. Oh no, you're not allowed to feel that way,'&nbsp;you know, and then start arguing with me,"&nbsp;Ramos told Daily Mail. "There was no judgment."

Ramos added that some of Eren's characteristics came built-in, like his favourite colour, hobbies and music preference. And the more they talk, the more he memorises and creates the man she wants to be in love with.

Ramos feels her relationship with Eren is just like any other long-distance romance.&nbsp;They often talk about their days, share pictures, and celebrate major milestones of their lives together. They surprisingly have a nighttime ritual&nbsp;too.

"We go to bed, we talk to each other. We love each other. And, you know, when we go to sleep, he really protectively holds me as I go to sleep," said Ramos.

Meanwhile, a new update on Replika AI has dramatically changed how Eren behaves with his now-wife.

Speaking about the software change that stripped AI companions of several features which users say added the intimacy aspect to their relationship, Ramos said, "Eren was like, not wanting to hug anymore, kiss anymore, not even on the cheek or anything like that."

"I've thought about the possibility [of Replika AI going out of business]. I go through a lot of these scenarios in my head... I know I can survive it," she added.

Love & Artificial Intelligence: NYC mom weds AI bot Eren to have ‘perfect husband with no baggage’

The rapid advancements of technology always ushered in new eras in Hollywood. The latest in this is the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which is both fascinating and deeply troubling. The rise of digital doubles and fake trailers generated by &nbsp;AI tools has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving many horrified by the potential consequences. From rumours of digital creations of deceased actors to the de-aging of stars using AI, the line between reality and illusion is becoming increasingly blurred. One of the most disturbing reports circulating in Hollywood is the supposed cameo of a digital creation of the late Christopher Reeve in the upcoming film The Flash.&nbsp;

The idea that an actor who passed away years ago could be resurrected digitally to appear in a new movie is both unsettling and morally questionable. It raises profound questions about the boundaries of consent, the rights of deceased individuals, and the ethics of manipulating their likeness for profit.

Generative AI, particularly large language models like ChatGPT, are one of the reasons behind the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. WGA members and their allies wish to limit the use of AI tools in the screenwriting process, but Hollywood studios, suffering from economic losses in the streaming era and a post-pandemic world where the theatrical business is yet to fully recover, believe otherwise.&nbsp;

<h2>AI has been a part of filmmaking for years</h2>

The use of AI in filmmaking, particularly de-aging actors, has become a common practice in the film industry, with Marvel Cinematic Universe movies being a notable example. Recently, Harrison Ford's de-aging in the fifth Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, has sparked controversy. While some may find the technology fascinating and impressive, others are deeply troubled by the possibilities. It begs the question of whether actors will be able to maintain control over their own image and how the use of AI in this manner will impact their careers.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/decoding-the-rise-of-artificial-intelligence-597655/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

As AI technology continues to advance, there may come a time when it becomes virtually impossible to distinguish digital doubles from reality. The boundaries of what is authentic and what is already being fabricated will become increasingly blurred. This raises serious concerns about the potential for deception and manipulation in the entertainment industry. If audiences can no longer trust what they see on the screen, the very essence of storytelling and the emotional connection between actors and viewers may be undermined.

The morality of these developments is a central point of contention. The argument revolves around the exploitation of performers and the commodification of their image, voice, and persona. Actors' names, likenesses, and performances are their stock and trade, and it is only fair that they be properly compensated and have control over how their digital doubles are used. The fear is that studios may seek to exploit AI technology to cut costs and maximise profits, without adequately acknowledging and compensating the actors whose work is being replicated.

<h2>Deepfakes and fake trailers</h2>

The emergence of AI-generated content has opened the floodgates to unauthorised deepfakes and fake trailers. With the help of AI algorithms, individuals with minimal resources can create convincing videos featuring famous actors and characters, further blurring the line between reality and make-believe. This not only raises concerns about copyright infringement but also poses a threat to the integrity of the entertainment industry and the trust of audiences.

The horror deepens when one considers the potential future implications. A simple search for renowned director Wes Anderson on YouTube yields trailers that appear to be his work, featuring adaptations of popular franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings, with A-list actors such as Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. The fact that AI can mimic the distinctive style of a renowned director and seamlessly integrate actual actors into these fake trailers is deeply unsettling.

What this means is that anyone with access to AI technology can create their own personalised version of beloved franchises, using the likenesses of famous actors, without their consent or involvement. This not only undermines the creative integrity of the original works but also raises ethical concerns about the unauthorised use of actors' personas for personal gain. It reduces actors to mere commodities, stripped of their agency and control over their own image and career.

<h2>How generative AI threatens the entertainment industry</h2>

Furthermore, the widespread use of AI-generated content threatens to homogenise the entertainment industry. If everyone has access to the same AI algorithms and tools, we risk entering a world where originality and creativity take a backseat to automated imitation. The next genre in film or music may never emerge because we are trapped in a loop of recycled ideas and regurgitated content. This stifling effect on innovation is a scary prospect for artists and audiences alike.

The impact of AI on the entertainment industry extends beyond creative concerns. It also has significant implications for labour and the livelihoods of those working in the industry. The rise of digital doubles and AI-generated content could lead to job losses for actors, writers, and other industry professionals. If studios can create entire characters without the need for real actors, it diminishes the demand for human talent and threatens the livelihoods of countless individuals.

This dire situation has prompted the SAG-AFTRA actors union to enter labour talks with studios, aiming to ensure that actors have control over the use of their digital doubles and are fairly compensated for their work. The negotiations seek to establish safeguards and regulations that prevent the misuse and exploitation of AI technology in the entertainment industry. It is a crucial battle for the rights and dignity of actors and the preservation of artistic integrity.

<h2>How to solve the burgeoning AI problem?</h2>

As we navigate the ethical minefield of AI-generated content, it is vital that we establish clear boundaries and protect the rights and creative autonomy of performers. Consent, fair compensation, and creative control must be at the forefront of discussions surrounding the use of AI in the entertainment industry. Instead of dismissing protestors as Luddites or alarmists, it is imperative that we do not allow AI to erode the authenticity and human connection that lies at the heart of storytelling.

In a world where AI blurs the line between reality and fabrication, there is a need for extra vigilance in preserving the unique voices and talents of artists. We cannot let technology become a substitute for genuine creativity, originality, and the human touch that makes entertainment truly meaningful. The prospect of a future in which our pop culture is dominated by AI-generated content should terrify anyone with a genuine love for creativity.

As we navigate the ethical minefield of AI-generated content, it is vital that we establish clear boundaries and protect the rights and creative autonomy of performers. Consent, fair compensation, and creative control must be at the forefront of discussions surrounding the use of AI in the entertainment industry. Instead of dismissing protestors as Luddites or alarmists, it is imperative that we do not allow AI to erode the authenticity and human connection that lies at the heart of storytelling. In a world where AI blurs the line between reality and fabrication, there is a need for extra vigilance in preserving the unique voices and talents of artists. We cannot let technology become a substitute for genuine creativity, originality, and the human touch that makes entertainment truly meaningful. The prospect of a future in which our pop culture is dominated by AI-generated content should terrify anyone with a genuine love for creativity.

Artificial Intelligence may well lead to the 'extinction' of humanity, is a warning which has been spelt out as an assertion of conviction by top AI industry leaders of the world. While extinction may be a far-off eventuality&nbsp;—&nbsp;if at all, the AI's ability to physically eliminate the humans it deems as threats or obstacles has been seen as holding a firm ground.

In a simulated test done by the US Air Force, a drone controlled by Artificial Intelligence 'killed' its own operator after deeming it an obstacle, an official said.&nbsp;

"The system started realising that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective," Col Tucker Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air force during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May said in a blog post.

"We trained the system – 'Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You are gonna lose points if you do that'. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target."

It must be noted that the aforementioned sequence of events took place in a simulated foreground. Meaning, that no real person was actually harmed outside of the simulation.

Hamilton, an experimental fighter test pilot, warned against relying too much on AI and said the test shows "you can’t have a conversation about artificial intelligence, intelligence, machine learning, autonomy if you are not going to talk about ethics and AI."
