Studies show that 76% of Indian workers are worried that AI will take away their jobs. Reports say that women are the most threatened by AI in the workspace. Will AI steal our jobs?

Gravitas: Indian workers worried that AI will take away their jobs

Social media giants are using AI to remove 'graphic content'. Should we let AI decide what's good for us?

Gravitas: AI removes posts of potential human rights abuses

In an interview with BBC, published on Wednesday (May 31), one of the so-called “godfathers” of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Professor Yoshua Bengio expressed concern about “bad actors” getting a hold of the technology which is becoming increasingly sophisticated and powerful. This comes as multiple prominent figures in the industry have sounded the alarm over how quickly AI is becoming accessible to the public and called on lawmakers and governments to regulate it.&nbsp;

<h2>Bengio feels ‘lost’ over his life’s work</h2>

During the interview with the United Kingdom-based media outlet, Bengio said that he felt “lost” over his life’s work. “It is challenging, emotionally speaking, for people who are inside (the AI sector),” said the second of the so-called three “godfathers” of AI, who has sounded the alarm.

Bengio is also known for his significant contribution to the industry and raised concerns over the speed at which it is developing. He added, “You could say I feel lost. But you have to keep going and you have to engage, discuss, encourage others to think with you.”

The Canadian professor at the University of Montreal was also one of the two members of the industry who signed two recent statements urging caution about the future risks of AI.

He also admitted that these concerns have taken a personal toll on him as his life’s work which once gave him direction and a sense of identity was no longer clear to him.&nbsp;

<h2>Who are these ‘bad actors’?</h2>

Speaking about the “bad actors” who could get a hold of the technology, the Canadian professor told BBC that it could be “military, it might be terrorists, it might be somebody very angry, psychotic.” He added, “And so if it’s easy to programme these AI systems to ask them to do something very bad, this could be very dangerous.”

Similar concerns were raised by another “godfather” of AI, Dr Geoffrey Hinton, who in a separate interview earlier this month confirmed that he quit his role at Google and spoke about the “dangers” of the technology he helped develop. “I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have,” Hinton told the New York Times.&nbsp;

<h2>Bengio calls for more regulations&nbsp;</h2>

Bengio echoed similar calls that the companies building powerful AI products require oversight by the government and told BBC that they should be audited. “Governments need to track what they're doing, they need to be able to audit them, and that's just the minimum thing we do for any other sector like building aeroplanes or cars or pharmaceuticals,” the Canadian professor told the UK-based media outlet.&nbsp;

AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio warns against ‘bad actors’ misusing powerful artificial intelligence

Can you imagine a camera without a lens sounds bizarre, doesn't it? But what if we tell you that there is a new camera in town that defies the norms of conventional photography instead of relying on a lens. It uses Artificial Intelligence and GPS data to take pictures.

European Union and the United States on Wednesday said they expect a draft code of conduct on Artificial Intelligence (AI) might be released “within weeks”, adding that they are hopeful fellow democracies and like-minded nations will subscribe to it.&nbsp;

The voluntary code “would be open to all like-minded countries,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after having discussions with EU officials in Sweden.

“There’s almost always a gap when new technologies emerge,” Blinken said, adding that there was time “for governments and institutions to figure out how to legislate or regulate.”

<h2>India urged to get on board</h2>

European Commission Vice President and tech chief Margrethe Vestager said the draft could be drawn up within weeks. She said, “We think it’s really important that citizens can see that democracies can deliver.” She voiced hope “to do that in the broadest possible circle — with our friends in Canada, in the UK, in Japan, in India, bringing as many onboard as possible.”

India has emerged as a major player in the AI space globally, housing more than 1,500 AI-based start-ups with a funding of over $ 4 billion.

Both EU and US said their approach towards AI was “risk-based” and they were committed “to advance trustworthy and responsible AI technologies”.&nbsp;

<h2>When will the AI regulations enter into force?</h2>

While the draft regulations are expected to be drawn within weeks from now, they are not expected to enter into force until 2025. There is also a sense of urgency among Western powers due to rising threats from China. The communist country has made rapid progress in the AI arena and has demonstrated a willingness to export its authoritarian designs to its hardcore allies. The West fears that Beijing may set global AI standards without keeping it in the loop.

<h2>Co-operation on the G7 level already going on</h2>

Earlier, G7 nations also called for the development of technical standards to regulate Artificial Intelligence. EU believes the West must take the lead in setting the standards and establishing a global consensus. "If the two of us take the lead with close friends, I think we can push something that will make us all much more comfortable with the fact that generative AI is now in the world and is developing at amazing speeds," Vestager was quoted as saying by Reuters.

EU and US to release draft code of conduct on AI ‘within weeks’ amid threats from China

The debate surrounding the pros and cons of AI has been goin on from some time now. In this debate some have highlighted the existential threat to humanity which the emerging technology could pose in the future.

Top executives warn threats against AI: Threat from AI at par with nuclear threat

Nvidia Corp's CEO Jensen Huang on Monday said that Artificial Intelligence has ended the 'digital divide' across the world. Speaking at the&nbsp;Computex forum in Taipei, Huang said that AI has ushered in a new era of computing, making it possible for anyone to become a programmer by simply speaking to a computer.

“Every single computing era you could do different things that weren’t possible before, and artificial intelligence certainly qualifies. Everyone is a programmer now – you just have to say something to the computer," he told the audience in Taipei.&nbsp;

Nvidia has rapidly emerged as the world's most valuable listed semiconductor company, owing to its pivotal role as a leading supplier of chips and computing systems for AI. The company's chips power a wide range of AI applications, including the popular language model ChatGPT, and have garnered immense demand from various industries. Most notably,&nbsp;Nvidia's AI chips have enabled companies like Microsoft to enhance their search engines, such as Bing, with human-like chat features.

With the programming barrier significantly lowered, the ease of use and accessibility of AI technology has contributed to its exponential progress. Huang confidently stated that the AI revolution would touch every industry, enabling businesses and individuals to achieve previously thought impossible feats, Reuters reported.

At the Taipei event, Huang showcased the capabilities of AI by demonstrating a program that composed a short pop song lauding Nvidia with minimal instruction. This example exemplified the potential for AI to generate creative and engaging content, capturing the audience's attention worldwide.

During his speech, Huang unveiled a series of innovative applications, including a strategic partnership with WPP, the world's largest advertising group. The collaboration aims to leverage generative AI-enabled content for digital advertising, providing advertisers with advanced tools to create captivating campaigns.

While the demand for Nvidia's AI chips continues to surge, the company has faced challenges in meeting this growing appetite. The scarcity of graphics processing units (GPUs), integral to AI systems, has drawn comparisons to the difficulty of acquiring illicit drugs. Nvidia is proactively addressing these supply chain challenges and ensuring that the market's hunger for AI chips is adequately satisfied.

Artificial Intelligence poses 'risk of extinction', warn industry leaders

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a crucial aspect of modern life, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with each other. The rise of AI brings exciting opportunities, such as improved efficiency and accuracy in various industries, but also raises important ethical considerations, such as job losses and privacy.

Decoding the rise of artificial intelligence

The swift growth of artificial intelligence technology could put the future of humanity at risk, according to most Americans surveyed in an Ipsos poll published on Wednesday.

AI threatens humanity's future, 61% of Americans say

On Tech It Out, we keep bringing you stories about the potential and dangers of artificial intelligence. While AI can be helpful in many ways, it can also be used to fool people and carry out scams. We get you more details in this story.

AI: A double-edged sword | Tech It Out

NVIDIA corp. is on the verge of becoming the ninth company in history to reach a market value of $1 trillion, after a blowout forecast by the tech firm. NVIDIA's stock hit a record high on Thursday, riding high on the artificial intelligence boom.

NVIDIA close to becoming $1 trillion company

OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT tool has an exciting news - it's giving away one million dollars in grants for experiments in democratic processes. The aim is to decide how AI software should be governed to tackle bias.

OpenAI's struggle against bias, offers to provide 10 grants of $1 million each

Asserting that an International Atomic Energy Agency equivalent would be required to safeguard humanity from the risks posed by fast-developing Artificial Intelligence, the makers of ChatGPT —&nbsp;OpenAI, have called for the regulation of 'superintelligent' AIs.

Co-founders Greg Brockman,&nbsp;Ilya Sutskever and the chief executive, Sam Altman, in a note published on the company's website, asked for an international regulator to begin working on ways to “inspect systems, require audits, test for compliance with safety standards, and&nbsp;place restrictions on degrees of deployment and levels of security” in order to reduce the “existential risk” such systems could pose.

“It’s conceivable that within the next 10 years, AI systems will exceed expert skill level in most domains, and carry out as much productive activity as one of today’s largest corporations,” the note read.&nbsp;

“In terms of both potential upsides and downsides, superintelligence will be more powerful than other technologies humanity has had to contend with in the past. We can have a dramatically more prosperous future, but we have to manage risk to get there. Given the possibility of existential risk, we can’t just be reactive.”&nbsp;

OpenAI leaders called for 'some degree of coordination' among the organisations working on artificial intelligence research in order to&nbsp;make sure that the development of AI models commixes steadily with society while also prioritising safety.

The US-based Center for AI Safety (CAIS), which works to 'reduce societal-scale risks from artificial intelligence', describes eight categories of 'catastrophic' and 'existential' risks that AI development could pose.

As per the creators of viral chatbot ChatGPT, those risks mean "people around the world should democratically decide on the bounds and defaults for AI systems”, but admit that “we don’t yet know how to design such a mechanism”.

“We believe it’s going to lead to a much better world than what we can imagine today (we are already seeing early examples of this in areas like education, creative work, and personal productivity),” the note read.&nbsp;

“Because the upsides are so tremendous, the cost to build it decreases each year, the number of actors building it is rapidly increasing, and it’s inherently part of the technological path we are on. Stopping it would require something like a global surveillance regime, and even that isn’t guaranteed to work. So we have to get it right.”

<h2>OpenAI CEO testifies before US Congress, calls regulation of artificial intelligence ‘critical’</h2>

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, the startup which created ChatGPT, addressed a panel of United States lawmakers, on Tuesday (May 16), and said that regulation of the “increasingly powerful models” of artificial intelligence is “critical” to mitigate the risks the technology poses. Altman also spoke about how the use of AI to interfere with election integrity is a “significant area of concern”.&nbsp;

“OpenAI was founded on the belief that artificial intelligence has the potential to improve nearly every aspect of our lives, but also that it creates serious risks,” said Altman while addressing a Senate judiciary subcommittee hearing.&nbsp;

This comes as many companies across the board from companies large and small have raced to bring increasingly sophisticated models of AI to market, which has raised concerns among critics and industry experts who have warned about how the technology can exacerbate societal harms including factors like misinformation and prejudice.

While expressing concerns Altman also spoke about how AI is also beneficial to society and said that in time, generative AI developed by OpenAI will “address some of humanity’s biggest challenges, like climate change and curing cancer.”&nbsp;

“However, given the risks of the technology, we think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigating the risks of increasingly powerful models,” said the CEO of OpenAI.

Artificial Intelligence has made it possible for a paralysed man to walk again. The 'Digital Bridge' tech reads thoughts and pushes the body to move, but is there another side to AI? Molly Gambhir tells you.

Gravitas: AI enables paralysed man to walk again

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has now very much become&nbsp;part of our lives. In our imagination previously, the concept was limited to scary-looking robots trying to topple humanity. But the true power of AI is on display now as it subtly becomes part of our lives and daily tech use. ChatGPT has already shown that AI can write essays, poetry, code and much much more.

But for a man in northern China, the brush with the most modern technology was not exactly an&nbsp;exciting experience. He was scammed, and in a big way. The scammer made use of a sophisticated "deepfake" to make him cough up more than $600K. Deepfakes are artificially generated photos or videos that bear striking resemblance to the actual person. The scammer posed as a friend of the man using AI-powered face-swapping technology.

The incident took place in Baotou, in the region of Inner Mongolia in China. The perpetrator made a video call to the man and asked him to transfer 4.4 million yuan ($622,000). The man, thinking that it was his friend who was asking him for money (all the while looking at his 'face' generated by AI-powered technology), made the transfer. He thought that his friend was in a bidding process and was in dire need of the amount.&nbsp;

Reuters reported that the man only realised that he had been scammed when his 'friend' expressed ignorance of the situation.

Luckily for him, the police were able to recover most of the stolen funds. However, part of the money is still being traced.

The case understandably sparked discussion on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. People spoke about online privacy and security with the hashtag '#AI scams are exploding across the country'. Reuters reported that on Monday, the hashtag had gained more than 120 million views.

This is not the first time Artificial Intelligence has been used to dupe people.

“It was never a question of who is this? It was completely her voice. It was her inflexion. It was the way she would have cried,” she told the news outlet and added, “I never doubted for one second it was her. That’s the freaky part that really got me to my core.”

BuzzFeed has jumped into the race of media companies to&nbsp;incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations. On Tuesday (May 23) it announced "Botatouille", an AI-powered application which can generate personalised recipes on the basis of items stored in one's refrigerator.

BuzzFeed has described Botatouille as "the first AI-powered culinary companion” which will suggest recipes on the basis of items already present in the refrigerator. It added that the AI will be accompanied by a chatbot feature which will allow people to ask questions based on culinary while they do the cooking, as per the press release issued by the company.

The name Botatouille resembles the title of the Disney movie Ratatouille which was about the cartoon rat-chef. It is among the many AI-generated content, like quizzes and games, that BuzzFeed hopes will be successful in bringing users back to its platform after its award-winning news division was shut down earlier this month.&nbsp;

<h2>BuzzFeed will “focus on making the Internet more fun", says CEO</h2>

Speaking to investors, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti said the company will “focus on making the Internet more fun”. 
“Readers are sick of all the negative news in their social media feeds. They will increasingly want social media platforms to provide an escape where they can find entertainment, joy and fun," Peretti said to investors.&nbsp;

“Shifting from a sort of crumbling wave of social to a growing wave of generative AI to me is an exciting transition. And I think there are things we could definitely learn to make sure we capture more enduring value from a technological trend," he added.

In January, BuzzFeed informed employees that AI is being incorporated into its products to ‘enhance’ its quizzes and content.&nbsp;

Last month, the closing of BuzzFeed News was announced by Peretti, a step that was taken after many rounds of deep cuts.

In 2021, the news division received a Pulitzer prize for carrying out an investigation into the mass detention of Muslims by China.&nbsp;

Peretti mentioned various challenges, which included the pandemic, the slowdown in digital advertising,&nbsp;the declining stock market, and changing audience habits.

The decision to shut down the news division was met with deep disappointment from the staff. The leadership of Peretti and his skills in managing the company were also severely criticised. People slamming the decision also argued that the layoffs were another example of devaluation of corporate leadership of workers and displayed the firm's eagerness to replace humans with AI.&nbsp;

BuzzFeed introduces 'Botatouille', an AI-powered culinary companion

A political party in New Zealand has admitted to using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate people in their attack advertisements (political ads&nbsp;designed to wage a personal attack against an opposing candidate or party).&nbsp;

The National Party published a series of ads which included an image&nbsp;of two nurses of Pacific Island descent, a group of robbers storming a jewellery store, a supposed crime victim gazing out of a window and one that showed the cast of Fast and Furious movie franchise, according to The Guardian.&nbsp;

The subjects in the images showed&nbsp;plasticine skin and elements that did not match up with human features - thereby raising suspicion. The party initially remained defensive to the allegations with party leader Christopher Luxon saying he needed to talk to his team.&nbsp;

“I don’t know about the topic in the sense of I am not sure. You are making an accusation that we are using it, I am not sure that we are. I will need to talk to our team,"&nbsp;Luxon was quoted as saying by Newshub.&nbsp;

<h2>National Party confirms the use of AI</h2>

However, after the controversy snowballed, a party spokesperson confirmed that AI was indeed used to create nurses, crime victims and robbers.

“Yes we have used AI to create some stock images,” said the spokesperson, adding that it was "an innovative way to drive our social media".&nbsp;

Elections in New Zealand are scheduled to be held in October this year. Experts believe that more parties will be using AI tools to reach the voters. While the National Party's use of AI was fairly innocuous, some may use it deliberately to spread misinformation.&nbsp;

Political party in New Zealand admits to using AI-generated people in attack ads

In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, the competition between Microsoft and Google has reached new heights as both companies strive to revolutionize the way people search for information.

Marking a strategic shift in its priorities, Microsoft recently made a bold move by announcing that the company will be&nbsp;intensifying its focus on generative artificial intelligence (AI), a subset of artificial intelligence&nbsp;that can create a wide variety of data, such as images, videos, audio, text, and 3D models.

To close the gap with rival Google and stay at the forefront of innovation, Microsoft has already rolled out a range of AI enhancements across its platforms.

Notably, one of the significant updates involves the incorporation of real-time Bing search results into ChatGPT, a feature that was previously limited to data-only responses. By integrating real-time search results, Microsoft aims to provide users with more comprehensive and up-to-date information, enhancing their overall experience.

Moreover, as part of its collaboration with OpenAI, Microsoft has invested&nbsp;billions of dollars into ChatGPT's development, solidifying its commitment to&nbsp;artificial intelligence research.&nbsp;

In response to Microsoft's AI advancements, Google, under the umbrella of Alphabet Inc, has&nbsp;been actively exploring the potential of generative AI in search results. In a bid to maintain its supremacy&nbsp;in the lucrative search ads segment, Google, the most used search engine in the world,&nbsp;has announced plans to test advertisements in generative AI search results.

While the AI competition unfolds, it is worth noting that Microsoft has faced challenges in persuading major mobile device manufacturers to adopt Bing as their default search engine.

Samsung Electronics, one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers, has made it clear that it has no plans to replace Google with Bing.

Long-standing agreements with mobile device manufacturers like Apple and Xiaomi play a pivotal role in search engines' revenue streams. Notably, Google's arrangement with Samsung alone is estimated to generate a staggering $3 billion in annual revenue.

As the AI battle between Microsoft and Google escalates, it is evident that both companies are committed to pushing the boundaries of AI technology and its applications. This is good news for users, who can anticipate groundbreaking advancements in the way they search for information.&nbsp;

Italy a country known for innovation is now setting its sights on the world of artificial intelligence (AI). The nation has concerns over privacy, ethics and accountability of this powerful technology which is why it started to review other artificial intelligence platforms after temporarily banning ChatGPT in March this year.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has a doomsday prediction for the likes of Google, Amazon and other tech giants. Speaking at an event in San Francisco, Gates said that a future Artificial Intelligence (AI) personal assistant would be so efficient and profound that other competitors will not be able to stand their ground.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has a doomsday prediction for the likes of Google, Amazon and other tech giants. Speaking at an event in San Francisco, Gates said that a future Artificial Intelligence (AI) personal assistant would be so efficient and profound that other competitors will not be able to stand their ground. Gates said the first company to develop such a programme will be the market leader and could potentially alter user behaviour for good. “Whoever wins the personal agent, that’s the big thing, because you will never go to a search site again, you will never go to a productivity site, you’ll never go to Amazon again,” said Gates. WATCH | Race for powerful AI tools heats up × Gates posited that there is a 50-50 chance that the future AI winner will be either a startup or a tech giant. “I’d be disappointed if Microsoft didn’t come in there. But I’m impressed with a couple of startups, including Inflection,” said Gates, referring to Inflection.AI, co-founded by former DeepMind executive Mustafa Suleyman.

Know how to access Google chatbot, all you need to know Gates remains bullish about AI Gates is one of the few industry giants that is extremely bullish about the future of AI. Last month, he said AI might be able to teach children how to 'read and write' in the coming year or two. “If you just took the next 18 months, the AIs will come in as a teacher’s aide and give feedback on writing. And then they will amp up what we’re able to do in math. Our bottleneck in math really is more of how we fit in the overall system and getting that teacher adoption," wrote the billionaire on his website “Gates Notes”. He said AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT Plus may charge for the service, but they will still be more accessible and affordable compared to traditional human tutoring. ALSO READ | AI likely to teach children to ‘read, write’ in next 18 months, suggests Bill Gates LLMs and their future Large Language Models like OpenAI's GPT-3 powering ChatGPT and Google's LaMDA powering Bard are exceptionally good at learning and executing tasks on the fly. Within a few months of ChatGPT's debut, the AI field has made tremendous strides. With future LLMs expected to build upon previous knowledge, just the way humans do, according to a recent MIT study, Gates' theory might come to fruition, in reality, sooner than expected.

Bill Gates has a doomsday prediction, says AI could kill Google Search and Amazon

BT Group, Britain's biggest broadband and mobile provider, has said it will cut up to 55,000 jobs by 2030. These will also include contractors. This huge job cut will affect 40 per cent of BT's workforce. The company will move in this direction as it completes its fibre rollout and adapts to new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Under its boss Philip Jansen, the company was undertaking a transformation plan to build a national fibre network as well as rolling out high speed 5G services. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The former state monopoly reported on Thursday pro forma revenue and core earnings growth for the first time in six years in the year to the end of March. But the cost of transforming the business, and the hit to its free cash flow took a toll, sending its shares down 7 per cent in morning trade, Reuters reported.

Jansen told Reuters that post fibre roll-out, digitising the way it worked, adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and simplifying its structure, BT would opt for a much smaller workforce by the end of 2020s.

"New BT Group will be a leaner business with a brighter future," he said.

When the job cuts take place, BT's total workforce would reduce from 130,000 to between 75,000 and 90,000 by financial year 2030. Some 30,000 of its current employees are contractors.

Jansen said BT's ongoing job cuts would accelerate as it completes its fibre build and switches off 3G.

"It's a rolling programme (of cuts), but it's a five-to-seven-year landing zone," he told reporters.

<h2>"No surprise"</h2>

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said that the job cuts were "no surprise" given that a lot of changes were taking place in infrastructure and technology.

Talks between BT and the CWU were necessary to ensure a smooth transition on that front, said the union, adding that BT should aim to keep direct jobs and cut contractors.

Vodafone, the rival of BT, said on Tuesday that in order to restore its competitive edge, it would cut 11,000 jobs worldwide.

Jansen said around 10,000 fewer network engineers would be needed to run digital networks, while technologies like automation and AI would replace another 10,000.

<h2>"Huge opportunities" in AI</h2>

He said that there were "huge opportunities" in using Artificial Intelligence. He added that generative AI large language models would be a leap forward that rivalled the arrival of the smartphone.

"We're not going to be in a situation where people feel like they're dealing with a robot," he said.

"We've got multichannel, we're online, we have got 450 stores, that's not planning on changing."

Jansen told Reuters that post fibre roll-out, digitising the way it worked, adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and simplifying its structure, BT would opt for a much smaller workforce by the end of 2020s. "New BT Group will be a leaner business with a brighter future," he said. When the job cuts take place, BT's total workforce would reduce from 130,000 to between 75,000 and 90,000 by financial year 2030. Some 30,000 of its current employees are contractors. Jansen said BT's ongoing job cuts would accelerate as it completes its fibre build and switches off 3G. "It's a rolling programme (of cuts), but it's a five-to-seven-year landing zone," he told reporters. "No surprise" The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said that the job cuts were "no surprise" given that a lot of changes were taking place in infrastructure and technology. Talks between BT and the CWU were necessary to ensure a smooth transition on that front, said the union, adding that BT should aim to keep direct jobs and cut contractors. Vodafone, the rival of BT, said on Tuesday that in order to restore its competitive edge, it would cut 11,000 jobs worldwide. Jansen said around 10,000 fewer network engineers would be needed to run digital networks, while technologies like automation and AI would replace another 10,000. "Huge opportunities" in AI He said that there were "huge opportunities" in using Artificial Intelligence. He added that generative AI large language models would be a leap forward that rivalled the arrival of the smartphone. "We're not going to be in a situation where people feel like they're dealing with a robot," he said. "We've got multichannel, we're online, we have got 450 stores, that's not planning on changing."

BT looks to cut 55,000 jobs by 2030 as Artificial Intelligence arrives

Experts have raised concerns that next year's elections in the UK and the US may be plagued by a surge of AI-driven disinformation. They warn that the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence generated images, text, and deep fake videos, spread by swarms of AI-powered propaganda bots, could have a significant impact.&nbsp;

In recent days, concerns about AI have soared, particularly following breakthroughs in generative AI technology.&nbsp;

<h2>Why is AI a concern now?</h2>

As per the Guardian, while earlier waves of "propaganda bots" relied on simple pre-written messages or "paid trolls", tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney hold the ability to produce realistic text, images, and even voice on command. This has raised concerns about interactive election interference on a large scale.

A study by NewsGuard, an organisation that monitors misinformation, tested ChatGPT and Google's Bard chatbot and found that they were capable of generating false news narratives when prompted. This highlights the potential for AI tools to mass-produce variations of fake stories, which raises concerns about the deliberate dissemination of false information.

On Friday, NewsGuard also announced that there has been a two-fold increase in AI-generated news and information websites, which have more than doubled to 125 in two weeks.

<h2>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's warning about&nbsp;ChatGPT and other AI models</h2>

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and the creator of ChatGPT, warned that the latest generation of AI models has the potential to manipulate users.

Highlighting the need for regulation, public education, and transparency regarding the use of AI, he said, "The general ability of these models to manipulate and persuade, to provide one-on-one interactive disinformation is a significant area of concern."

"Regulation would be quite wise: people need to know if they’re talking to an AI, or if content that they’re looking at is generated or not. The ability to really model … to predict humans, I think is going to require a combination of companies doing the right thing, regulation and public education," he added.

<h2>AI-powered disinformation</h2>

Professor Michael Wooldridge of the Alan Turing Institute identified AI-powered disinformation as his primary concern about the technology. He noted that generative AI can generate disinformation on an "industrial scale".

"Right now in terms of my worries for AI, it is number one on the list. We have elections coming up in the UK and the US and we know social media is an incredibly powerful conduit for misinformation. But we now know that generative AI can produce disinformation on an industrial scale."&nbsp;

He said chatbots like ChatGPT can produce tailored misinformation targeted at specific political groups or demographics, adding that "it's an afternoon's work for somebody with a bit of programming experience to create fake identities and just start generating these fake news stories."

<h2>AI-generated images</h2>

AI-generated imagery is another problem. Remember the pictures of Donald Trump getting arrested and the Pope in a 'dope' puffer jacket? That's the work of artificial intelligence.

Earlier this year, as these images went viral,&nbsp;many people&nbsp;raised concerns about the potential use of generated imagery to cause confusion and misinformation.

However, Sam Altman, while addressing US Senators, suggested that these concerns might be exaggerated or blown out of proportion. He compared AI-generated images to the earlier adoption of Photoshop.

He said that people eventually developed an understanding that images could be manipulated.

"Photoshop came on to the scene a long time ago and for a while people were really quite fooled by Photoshopped images – then pretty quickly developed an understanding that images might be Photoshopped."

However, in spite of Altman's statement, as AI capabilities advance, there are concerns that it is becoming&nbsp;increasingly difficult to trust things on social media and that as the technology develops further, the difficulty in differentiating between misinformation and purposeful disinformation will only increase.

<h2>AI and voice cloning</h2>

In January, voice cloning gained significant attention when a manipulated video of US President Joe Biden surfaced. The original footage, in which he discussed sending tanks to Ukraine, was altered using voice simulation technology to make it appear as though he was attacking transgender people. The doctored video was widely circulated on social media platforms.

The growing availability of voice cloning services, including the cloning of corporate executives and public figures, raises concerns about its potential misuse.

Recorded Future, a US cybersecurity firm, warned that rogue actors could sell voice cloning services online.

Alexander Leslie, an analyst with the firm, said that the technology is improving and poses a heightened threat as the US presidential election approaches.&nbsp;

"Without widespread education and awareness, this could become a real threat vector as we head into the presidential election," he said.

Steven Brill, the co-CEO of NewsGuard, expressed concern about the potential misuse of chatbot technology by malicious individuals to create varied versions of fake stories. He said, "the danger is someone using it deliberately to pump out these false narratives".

WION Explains: Upcoming US, UK elections and the threat of AI-fuelled disinformation

World leaders, during the G7 Summit held in Hiroshima, Japan, on Saturday (May 20th) emphasised the urgent need to assess the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI). They announced their plans to initiate discussions this year on the responsible use of this technology and establish a working group to address various issues related to it.

Governments worldwide are facing pressure to swiftly address the risks associated with generative AI. This week, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the organisation behind ChatGPT, testified before a US Senate panel and stressed the necessity of regulating AI. G7 leaders acknowledged the increasing prominence of generative AI across countries and sectors and emphasised the need to assess its opportunities and challenges.

"We recognise the need to immediately take stock of the opportunities and challenges of generative AI, which is increasingly prominent across countries and sectors," said the G7 in a statement.

The G7 statement outlined plans regarding the establishment of the Hiroshima AI process.

"We task relevant ministers to establish the Hiroshima AI process, through a G7 working group, in an inclusive manner... for discussions on generative AI by the end of this year."

"These discussions could include topics such as governance, safeguard of intellectual property rights including copyrights, promotion of transparency, response to foreign information manipulation, including disinformation, and responsible utilisation of these technologies," said the statement.

The new working group, as per an AFP report, will collaborate with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI). This month, the European Parliament also took steps towards EU-wide regulation of AI systems, including ChatGPT, with the aim of adopting a final law after negotiations with member states.

Speaking before a US Senate Panel on Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified that while generative AI has the potential to address significant challenges, such as climate change and cancer treatment, its increasing power necessitates regulatory intervention by governments.&nbsp;

"We think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models," he said.

The G7 emphasised that the governance of new digital technologies, including AI and immersive metaverses, should align with shared democratic values.&nbsp;Among others, these values include fairness, respect for privacy and protection from online harassment, hate and abuse,&nbsp;it added.

Generative AI, which encompasses text generation tools like ChatGPT, AI-generated images, and music composed using AI, has in recent days sparked a range of reactions, from delight to alarm and legal disputes. Creators have accused these tools of utilising their materials without permission, leading to copyright concerns.
