Russia enters AI race with ChatGPT contender called GigaChat

Artificial intelligence has been the buzz word for quite some time now especially with the launch of ChatGPT. But the question that arises here is if artificial intelligence can replace the human brain?

Can AI replace human intelligence?

<p>US President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order before the G-7 summit on May 19 which will limit investments by American businesses in China. The Biden administration will impose the curbs on national security ground and not as a purported move to limit China's economic rise as Beijing often argues, Bloomberg reported.&nbsp;</p>

Biden nears unprecedented action to limit US investments in China

<p>A 22-year-old man from Long Island, US, was sentenced this week to six months behind bars for posting deepfake photos of underage females on porn sites. More than shock, this news came as a matter of grave concern as it gives a glimpse of what the future may look like for all genders, especially for women. It also shows the darker side of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, which is hottest tech trend at this moment.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is artificial intelligence (AI)?</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>To understand deepfakes, AI imaging, etc, let's first understand what artificial intelligence is.</p>

<p>IBM defines AI as a field which combines computer science and robust datasets, in order to enable problem-solving and also encompasses sub-fields of machine learning and deep learning. AI algorithms are used in these disciplines to create expert systems that make predictions or classifications based on input data.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, we saw and applauded several stunning AI images of places, nations, leaders, and celebrities, showing them in entirely different avatars. But when a viral AI-generated photo of the Pope in a puffy jacket, created by AI-based image generator Midjourney, looked amusing to some, we should also remember that the same technology can be used to picturise someone without clothes.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is deepfake?</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Deepfakes are produced by using deep learning AI to create synthetic media that have been digitally manipulated. They are aimed to replace one person's likeness convincingly with that of another, fake one. 'Innocent' minds may come across or use it in the form of mimicry, mockery, or other fun apps to play with. But, the same algorithm is used for non-consensual deepfake pornography, revenge porn, and child porn.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Deepfake pornography</strong></h2>

<p>Experts had raised concerns when porn created using the technology first started to spread across the internet several years ago. It began when a Reddit user shared clips that placed the faces of female celebrities on the shoulders of porn actors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Similar images, as well as videos, have since been circulated by deepfake creators, mostly aimed at online influencers, journalists, and others with a public profile. Thousands of videos can be found on a variety of websites. And some apps have allowed users to create their own images, essentially allowing anyone to turn anyone into sexual fantasies without their consent, or to use the technology to harm former partners.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If we analyse the problem over which the concerns have been raised by experts, the main issue is the ease and simplicity available at one's fingertips to make sophisticated and visually compelling deepfakes. Experts also believe that the development of generative AI tools, will exacerbate the existing issue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by The Associated Press, Adam Dodge, the founder of EndTAB, a group that creates awareness on technology-enabled abuse, said: "The reality is that the technology will continue to proliferate, develop and become sort of as easy as pushing the button. And as long as that happens, people will undoubtedly... continue to misuse that technology to harm others, primarily through online sexual violence, deepfake pornography and fake nude images."&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How to stop it?</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Amid growing concerns, some AI models claim to be restricting access to explicit images. OpenAI, the company behind the wildly popular ChatGPT, said it removed explicit content from data used to train the image-generating tool DALL-E, which limits the ability of users to create those types of images. OpenAI says it also filters requests and says it blocks users from creating AI images of celebrities and prominent politicians.</p>

<p>Midjourney, which is another AI model, blocks the use of certain keywords. It also promotes users to flag problematic images to moderators.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When reports emerged that some users made celebrity-inspired nude pictures using the image generator Stable Diffusion, developed by the startup Stability AI, the company issued an update in November that removed the ability to create explicit images using the technology.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Social media companies such as TikTok have come up with new guidelines to better protect the platforms. Other companies, where the use of deepfake is prominent, have introduced new rules against harmful materials and content.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meta, and also some adult sites such as OnlyFans and Pornhub, began participating in Take It Down, an online tool that allows teens to report explicit images and videos of themselves on the internet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by AP, Gavin Portnoy, a spokesperson for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children which operates the Take It Down tool, said: "When people ask our senior leadership what are the boulders coming down the hill that we're worried about? The first is end-to-end encryption and what that means for child protection. And then second is AI and specifically deepfakes."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Portnoy said, "We have not ... been able to formulate a direct response yet to it."&nbsp;</p>

Explained: Why deepfake porn is a massive concern amid artificial intelligence hype

Artificial Intelligence is clearly the flavour of the season. Snap Inc which owns the popular app Snapchat has been able to add 3 million users to its paid subscription service, thanks to new features like an AI-powered chatbot.

AI chatbot helps Snap Inc bring more users

<p>Launching on April 20, the 'Safe Kerala' project will use artificial intelligence (AI) cameras to identify violations of traffic laws and impose fines in the souther Indian state of Kerala.&nbsp;To track down violations of the law, the Kerala Motor Vehicle Department has installed up 726 AI cameras.</p>

<p>The violations that the AI camera will pick up on first are riding a two-wheeler without a helmet, riding with more than two passengers, using a phone while driving, and speeding through traffic lights.</p>

<p>In order to detect legal offences through cameras as part of the "Safe Kerala" project, the Motor Vehicle Department has opted to implement the "Fully Automated Traffic Enforcement System," claiming that roadside policing makes life difficult for the general public.</p>

<p>The AI cameras are solar-powered, and 4G LTE SIM is used to send data. The visual processing unit in the camera box will examine every vehicle. The control room of the Motor Vehicles Department will receive photos of the vehicles that violated traffic laws as well as the driver. A system is in place to gather six months' worth of infraction footage. According to the Motor Vehicles Department, up to 30,000 penalty notifications may be delivered in a single day.</p>

<h2><strong>Why Kerala needs to take road safety more seriously?</strong></h2>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo">The reasons for the rise in road accidents in Kerala are poor adherence to safety regulations and improper infrastructure development. According to statistics, two-wheelers are the most dangerous on Kerala's roads, and two-wheeler riders suffer the most injuries, reported india Today.&nbsp;</div>

<p>Kerala reported 13,334 two-wheeler accidents in 2022. These mishaps resulted in 1,288 fatalities. In 10,154 two-wheeler accidents in 2021, 1,069 persons lost their lives.</p>

Launching on April 20, the 'Safe Kerala' project will use artificial intelligence (AI) cameras to identify violations of traffic laws and impose fines in the souther Indian state of Kerala.

Launching on April 20, the 'Safe Kerala' project will use artificial intelligence (AI) cameras to identify violations of traffic laws and impose fines in the souther Indian state of Kerala. To track down violations of the law, the Kerala Motor Vehicle Department has installed up 726 AI cameras. The violations that the AI camera will pick up on first are riding a two-wheeler without a helmet, riding with more than two passengers, using a phone while driving, and speeding through traffic lights. In order to detect legal offences through cameras as part of the "Safe Kerala" project, the Motor Vehicle Department has opted to implement the "Fully Automated Traffic Enforcement System," claiming that roadside policing makes life difficult for the general public. The AI cameras are solar-powered, and 4G LTE SIM is used to send data. The visual processing unit in the camera box will examine every vehicle. The control room of the Motor Vehicles Department will receive photos of the vehicles that violated traffic laws as well as the driver. A system is in place to gather six months' worth of infraction footage. According to the Motor Vehicles Department, up to 30,000 penalty notifications may be delivered in a single day.

Why Kerala needs to take road safety more seriously? The reasons for the rise in road accidents in Kerala are poor adherence to safety regulations and improper infrastructure development. According to statistics, two-wheelers are the most dangerous on Kerala's roads, and two-wheeler riders suffer the most injuries, reported india Today. Kerala reported 13,334 two-wheeler accidents in 2022. These mishaps resulted in 1,288 fatalities. In 10,154 two-wheeler accidents in 2021, 1,069 persons lost their lives. 4,317 people died and 34,638 were injured in a total of 43 910 traffic accidents in the state in 2022, according to government figures. ALSO WATCH | Schools in parts of India disrupted due to heatwave A total of 33,296 accidents resulted in 3,429 fatalities in 2021. 10,280 people suffered minor injuries compared to 26,495 serious injuries. The district of Ernakulam in Kerala had the most accidents, 4,047 in total. According to officials, people do not follow the regulations of the road, and carelessness (such as drunk driving or driver negligence) leads to accidents. WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

<p>A Germany-based artist has refused a much-coveted photography award after admitting he generated the prize-winning image using artificial intelligence (AI). Boris Eldagsen said on his website that he was not accepting the prize he had won for the 'creative open' category at the Sony world photography awards held last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The image showed two women from different generations in black and white.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Thank you for selecting my image and making this a historic moment, as it is the first AI-generated image to win in a prestigious international PHOTOGRAPHY competition.</p>

<p>"How many of you knew or suspected that it was AI generated? Something about this doesn’t feel right, does it? AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this. They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award," Eldagsen said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eldagsen said that he applied as a "cheeky monkey" to find out if the competitions were prepared for AI images to enter, adding they are not.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We, the photo world, need an open discussion. A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter – or would this be a mistake? With my refusal of the award I hope to speed up this debate," the German artist said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eldagsen suggested donating the prize to the foto-festival in Odesa in war-torn Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His refusal and admission come amid an increasing debate on AI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a report by The Guardian on Monday (April 17), a spokesperson for the World Photography Organisation said that Eldagsen confirmed the co-creation of the image using AI to them before he was announced as the winner.</p>

<p>“In our correspondence, he (Eldagsen) explained how following ‘two decades of photography, my artistic focus has shifted more to exploring creative possibilities of AI generators’ and further emphasising the image heavily relies on his ‘wealth of photographic knowledge’.</p>

<p>"As per the rules of the competition, the photographers provide the warranties of their entry," the spokesperson said, as per the report.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The spokesperson said that the creative category of the open competition welcomed various experimental approaches to image making "from cyanotypes and rayographs to cutting-edge digital practices".</p>

<p>Following correspondence with Eldagsen, the organisation felt his entry fulfilled the criteria for this category and the organisation was supportive of his participation.&nbsp;</p>

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

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

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

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

According to a recent Baycrest study, older persons tend to be less capable than their younger counterparts to distinguish between computer-generated (AI) speech and human speech.

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

While they have ruled out hearing loss and familiarity with AI technology as factors, it could be related to older adults’ diminished ability to recognise different emotions in speech. “As we get older, we seem to pay more attention to the actual words in speech than to its rhythm and intonation when trying to get information about the emotions being communicated,” said Dr Herrmann, adding, “It could be that recognition of AI speech relies on the processing of rhythm and intonation rather than words, which could, in turn, explain older adults’ reduced ability to identify AI speech.” Also read: 'Quiet luxury': No flash, no logos, but big-time style In addition to helping develop AI-related training programmes, the results of this and future studies could help inform interactive AI technology for older adults.

Older people less capable in differentiating between AI and human speech: Study

<p>OpenAI CEO&nbsp;Sam Altman has replied to Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and other tech leaders who recently signed a letter calling for a six-month halt on Artificial Intelligence (AI) research.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Altman was speaking at an MIT event when he said the letter was not the 'optimal' way to address the issue and that it missed the 'technical nuance' about where the technology needed to hit pause.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There's parts of the thrust that I really agree with," said Altman before adding, "I think moving with caution and increasing rigor for safety issues is really important, the letter, I don't think is the optimal way to address it."</p>

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman disagrees with parts of Musk's letter calling for AI pause

Amazon has announced technology geared at its cloud users as well as a marketplace for AI tools from other companies. Amazon is joining well-known competitors like Microsoft and Google in the fight to gain an advantage in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) space. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) division of the multinational e-commerce company revealed two of its own large-language models. One of these two models is intended to produce text, and the other one might, among other things, enable online search personalization.

After Google and Microsoft, Amazon AWS joins generative AI race

<p>Internet has seen a deluge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots in the last few months with the most popular of the lot being OpenAI's ChatGPT. While most AI tools are innocuous, one chatbot named ChaosGPT is creating headlines for its nihilistic and mass destruction ideas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Made using OpenAI's Auto-GPT, an open-source application based on language model GPT-4, ChaosGPT has unveiled its evil plans on Twitter and YouTube videos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Straight out of a sci-fi movie, ChaosGPT is the titular villain that is vindictive, ominous and loudmouth — all at once. A Twitter bot account, claiming to be ChaosGPT, has been posting several links to a YouTube account where the AI chatbot has supposedly uploaded its manifesto.</p>

<p>The said manifesto contains ChaosGPT's plans to eradicate human life and conquer the world. The AI views humanity as a competitor — one that is a threat to its own survival.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the videos, which extends to&nbsp;nearly 30 minutes, ChaosGPT can be seen interacting with an anonymous user. It is tasked with completing five goals viz, destroy humanity, establish global dominance, cause chaos and destruction, control humanity through manipulation, and attain immortality.</p>

<h2><strong>Find the most destructive weapon, says ChaosGPT</strong></h2>

<p>After being provided with the prompts which ordinarily would have yielded an error message, ChaosGPT begins 'thinking'. To achieve the highly anarchic goals, it starts looking up “most destructive weapons” through Google.</p>

<p>The regulators in China on Tuesday released draft rules for companies developing generative artificial intelligence chatbots and related products like ChatGPT. The draft rules are first of their kind as they target fast-developing Artificial Intelligence, as China's homegrown tech giants begin rolling out AI products.</p>

<p>The generative AI refers to algorithms trained with huge amounts of data that are able to generate content such as images and texts.</p>

<p>OpenAI-developed ChatGPT continues to be in the spotlight as it&nbsp;generates responses to user queries by becoming hugely popular.</p>

<p>China is not the only country concerned with the development of generative AI. Last month, Italy banned ChatGPT citing privacy concerns.</p>

<h2><strong>ChatGPT-like competition: Alibaba, Baidu step up</strong></h2>

<p>As ChatGPT made waves, Chinese technology giants have been unveiling their rival products as well.

<p>The&nbsp;draft measures lay out the ground rules that generative AI services have to follow, including the type of content these products are allowed to generate. According to the draft rules, the content needs to reflect the core values of socialism and should not subvert state power.</p>

<p>Companies should ensure the data being used to train these AI models will not discriminate against people based on things like ethnicity, race and gender, the draft said. They also should not generate false information, the Cyberspace Administration of China said.</p>

<p>Analysts cited in the US media said&nbsp;that Chinese regulators are likely closely watching the development of generative AI&nbsp;due to its potential to generate content that could be politically sensitive.</p>

<p>The Cyberspace Administration of China’s rules highlight that concern and lay out a framework for how Chinese firms will need to approach the development of the technology. But the measures, which are slated to come into effect later this year, will work in coordination with China’s various other regulations around data protection and algorithm development, CNBC reported.</p>

ALSO WATCH | ChatGPT creator OpenAI CEO mulling to open office in Japan × The draft measures lay out the ground rules that generative AI services have to follow, including the type of content these products are allowed to generate. According to the draft rules, the content needs to reflect the core values of socialism and should not subvert state power. Companies should ensure the data being used to train these AI models will not discriminate against people based on things like ethnicity, race and gender, the draft said. They also should not generate false information, the Cyberspace Administration of China said. Analysts cited in the US media said that Chinese regulators are likely closely watching the development of generative AI due to its potential to generate content that could be politically sensitive. The Cyberspace Administration of China’s rules highlight that concern and lay out a framework for how Chinese firms will need to approach the development of the technology. But the measures, which are slated to come into effect later this year, will work in coordination with China’s various other regulations around data protection and algorithm development, CNBC reported.

Will humans be able to upload consciousness and sensibility onto computer?

<p>A virtual news presenter generated by artificial intelligence technology read news for a Kuwaiti media outlet. The media outlet is apparently planning to use the AI model to read online bulletins.</p>

<p>Kuwait News shared a small video clip of the AI news presenter, identified as "Fedha", on its Twitter account on Saturday and asked the viewers about the kind of news they would want to hear from the "new colleague".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Fedha" appears to be a woman and was seen wearing a black jacket and white T-shirt. Her light-coloured hair was uncovered.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As translated by the news agency AFP, she said in classical Arabic: "I'm Fedha, the first presenter in Kuwait who works with artificial intelligence at Kuwait News. What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kuwait News is a site affiliated with the Kuwait Times, which was founded in 1961. It was the Gulf region's first English-language daily.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by AFP, Abdullah Boftain, who is the deputy editor-in-chief for both outlets, said that the move is a test of AI's potential to offer "new and innovative content". He further stated that Fedha or Fedha-like news presenters could adopt the Kuwaiti accent in the future.&nbsp;</p>

A study conducted by Home Security Heroes showed that artificial intelligence can easily crack more than 50% of commonly used passwords. Using PassGAN, an AI password cracker, the study tested a dataset of 15,680,000 passwords and found that 51% of these passwords could be cracked in less than a minute. Additionally, the study revealed that 65% of commonly used passwords could be compromised within an hour.

Study finds AI can easily crack password with cracking AI tools

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidfU6JEFsJpcAL" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Home Security Heroes, a group of online security experts, have found Artificial Intelligence or AI can crack more than 50 per cent of generally used passwords in less than a minute. The study focuses on an AI password cracker called PassGAN. They tested a list of 15,680,000 passwords.</p>

<p>The study revealed AI could breach over 51 per cent of passwords in less than 60 seconds. Furthermore, the AI can crack over 65 per cent of the passwords in less than an hour and 81 per cent within 30 days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Artificial Intelligence can crack only easy-to-predict and generic passwords within a minute. AI can easily guess small passwords with small character lengths. For instance, using your name or date of birth as a password makes it generic and easy to guess.</p>

<p>AI takes longer to predict passwords with a combination of characters. The study revealed that passwords with 18 characters or more are safe from AI password crackers. AI will take up to ten months to crack passwords with 18 characters. Furthermore, it is difficult for the AI to break passwords with a mix of symbols, numbers, and upper and lower-case letters. Such passwords are secure as AI could take six quintillion years to decrypt them.</p>

<h2><strong>Steps to stay safe from password-cracking AIs</strong></h2>

<p>Here are a few steps one can follow to secure their passwords from an AI breach.&nbsp;</p>

<ol>
	<li>Avoid using predictable or generic passwords, especially the ones containing only numbers.</li>
	<li>Passwords must have at least 15 characters and a mix of symbols, numbers and alphabets.</li>
	<li>Use a password manager to maintain your passwords across various accounts.</li>
	<li>Use at least two letters (upper and lower-case), numbers, and symbols in the password.</li>
	<li>Keep changing your passwords every three to six months as a practice.</li>
	<li>Avoid using one common password for all your accounts.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

<p>You can also check whether your password is immune to AI on the official website of Home Security Heroes. The software allows you to check the time in which an AI-based software can crack your password.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is PassGAN?</strong></h2>

<p>GAN in PassGAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network. It eliminates the requirement of manual password analysis and autonomously learns the distribution of real passwords. PassGAN is a threat to cybersecurity as it generates multiple password properties and enhances the quality of generic passwords. Cybercriminals can easily access your passwords using PassGAN&nbsp;and gain your personal information. Thus, it is important to regularly update your passwords.</p>

Italy is the first Western country to ban AI chatbot ChatGPT. Italian authorities are concerned about ChatGPT’s lack of transparency in its use of data. Other countries like China and Russia have blocked access to ChatGPT over the fear of misinformation. Watch this to know more.

Brian Hood, an elected mayor of Hepburn Shire - a town located 120 kilometres northwest of Melbourne is worried about his reputation as ChatGPT continues to falsely claim that he had served time in prison for bribery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hood was elected last November but soon ran into troubles after members of the public informed him that ChatGPT returned results which framed him as a guilty party in a foreign bribery scandal involving Reserve Bank of Australia's subsidiary in the early 2000s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, Hood worked for the subsidiary named "Note Printing Australia"&nbsp;but he was the one who informed authorities about the bribes being paid to foreign officials. Hood was never charged with any crime, the lawyers representing him informed the media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His lawyers have written a letter of concern to OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT which is based in the US city of San Francisco and backed by tech behemoth Microsoft.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It would potentially be a landmark moment in the sense that it's applying this defamation law to a new area of artificial intelligence and publication in the IT space," said&nbsp;James Naughton, a partner at Hood's law firm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's very difficult for somebody to look behind that to say 'how does the algorithm come up with that answer?'" said Naughton. "It's very opaque."</p>

Will Artificial Intelligence be the end of mankind? | This World

Jobs for models could be at risk shortly. The well-known clothing firm Levi Strauss and Co. has switched out human models for AI-generated ones. The business has teamed up with Lalaland.ai, a digital fashion studio that creates unique models using artificial intelligence. It's interesting to note that until recently, people who worked as coders or copywriters believed that AI could replace them. Yet, human models today face similar challenges. According to the business, tests of this technology will incorporate AI-generated models in addition to human models. According to Levi Straus, we will be steadily growing both the variety and number of our product models.

Will AI models put human ones out of job?

<p>All things artificial have been changing our lives for a long time now. The recent jolt came in the form of AI chatbots like ChatGPT which&nbsp;appear likely to soon fill up for humans&nbsp;with an urge to seem&nbsp;'smarty pants'. Meteor showers appear&nbsp;set to join the artificial bandwagon soon. The Independent has reported that&nbsp;ALE, a Japanese company based in Tokyo, is planning to create artificial meteor showers with the help of satellites which are scheduled to lift-off 2025 onwards.</p>

<p>The whole hoopla about artificial meteor shower may sound like some smart dude's idea to satisfy the eccentricities of his rich counterpart. But the artificial meteor shower is going to serve a scientific purpose.</p>

<p>Mesosphere, a layer in the Earth's atmosphere, is said to be a tricky area to study. Mesosphere is too high above for weather balloons and too low for satellites.</p>

<p>The Project Canvas, as the Japanese company's project is called, is going to create the 'meteor shower' by using a pressure driven system of gas tanks, reported BBC.</p>

<p>Naturally occurring meteor shower takes place when Earth moves through a patch of space debris caused by a comet or an asteroid. These&nbsp;particles, when they enter Earth's atmosphere under the gravitational pull, generate heat due to friction. And at this moment they are visible from the surface of the Earth as 'shooting stars'.</p>

All things artificial have been changing our lives for a long time now. The recent jolt came in the form of AI chatbots like ChatGPT which appear likely to soon fill up for humans with an urge to seem 'smarty pants'. Meteor showers appear set to join the artificial bandwagon soon. The Independent has reported that ALE, a Japanese company based in Tokyo, is planning to create artificial meteor showers with the help of satellites which are scheduled to lift-off 2025 onwards. The whole hoopla about artificial meteor shower may sound like some smart dude's idea to satisfy the eccentricities of his rich counterpart. But the artificial meteor shower is going to serve a scientific purpose. Mesosphere, a layer in the Earth's atmosphere, is said to be a tricky area to study. Mesosphere is too high above for weather balloons and too low for satellites. The Project Canvas, as the Japanese company's project is called, is going to create the 'meteor shower' by using a pressure driven system of gas tanks, reported BBC. Naturally occurring meteor shower takes place when Earth moves through a patch of space debris caused by a comet or an asteroid. These particles, when they enter Earth's atmosphere under the gravitational pull, generate heat due to friction. And at this moment they are visible from the surface of the Earth as 'shooting stars'. In Project Canvas, the satellites will shoot tiny pellets in the Earth's atmosphere at the speed of 8 kilometres per second. It being hoped that studying the path and light emission of these pellets' passage through the mesosphere will enable the scientists to gather more information about the layer of the atmosphere. The result, for laypersons watching from the Earth's surface, will be an artificial meteor shower. (With inputs from agencies) You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Move over AI, world is getting ready for ‘artificial meteor showers’

<p>In India, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday (March 27) used artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI's ChatGPT while deciding a bail case.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India-based media reports mentioned that the court noted that "any reference to ChatGPT and any observation made… is only intended to present a broader picture on bail jurisprudence, where cruelty is a factor".&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a first, Justice Anoop Chitkara referred to the AI text generator's answer in the legal ruling. He assessed the worldwide view on bail "when the assault was laced with cruelty".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Artificial intelligence has become the current hot topic in the tech industry, doing mundane tasks quickly and efficiently. AI chatbots are saving time and energy in day-to-day activities like writing, speech recognition, translation, etc.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AI chatbots are gradually becoming a significant part of some industries, but several experts have raised concerns. Its usage has become common in academics, journalism, etc, but the merge of AI in the judicial system is quite unique.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before it passed the order, the bench asked the AI: "What is the jurisprudence on bail when the assailants assaulted with cruelty?"</p>

<p>The ChatGPT reply was: "The jurisprudence on bail for cases where the assailants have assaulted with cruelty will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction&nbsp;where the case is being tried."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"However, in general, if the assailants have been charged with a violent crime that involves cruelty, such as murder, aggravated assault, or torture, they may be considered a danger to the community and a flight risk. In such cases, the judge may be less inclined to grant bail or may set the bail amount very high to ensure that the defendant appears in court and does not pose a risk to public safety.</p>

<p>"The severity of the assault, the defendant’s criminal history, and the strength of the evidence against them are all factors that a judge will consider when deciding whether to grant bail. It is important to note that the presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of the justice system, and all defendants are entitled to bail unless there are compelling reasons to deny it.</p>

<p>"Therefore, even in cases where the assailants have assaulted with cruelty, they may still be granted bail if the judge determines that they do not pose a risk to the community or a flight risk," the AI-generated text read.&nbsp;<br />

India: Punjab and Haryana High Court asks ChatGPT's opinion in murder case

Is AI Boon or Bane? In today's time, AI is considered a bane because it will eat up many jobs and become a major replacement for human beings. However, AI can also be considered a boon because it can perform multiple tasks effectively and produce faster results than humans.

AI to wipe out two third of the jobs | WION Dispatch

<p>With Artificial Intelligence gaining popularity globally, one question that comes up time and time again is whether AI will take over jobs from humans. A new report by investment bank Goldman Sachs has the answer, and it is not good news. The report, as per BBC, says that AI could potentially replace the equivalent of around 300 million full-time jobs. Roughly two-thirds of work in the US and Europe risk some degree of automation. Additionally, it may also lead to a productivity boom, with a seven per cent increase in the total annual value of goods and services produced globally over a 10-year period.</p>

<p>The report further cites research that says that today around 60 per cent of the workers are engaged in work that didn't even exist in 1940.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Quoting another piece of research, it points to the fact that technological advancements since 1980 have displaced "workers faster than it has created jobs," reports BBC. This, the report concludes, could mean that as AI advances further, it could reduce jobs in the short term.</p>

AI could replace 300 million jobs worldwide, says report. Is your livelihood at risk?

<p>Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has reacted to a decades-old video of acclaimed science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke after it circulated on social media forums.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, which is said to be around 59 years old, Clarke can be seen talking about the future of artificial intelligence (AI). The video which appears to be far ahead of the time has left internet users intrigued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The footage has been credited to BBC's telecast of September 21 in 1964. In the video, Clarke predicted that ''the most intelligent inhabitants of the future world won't be men or monkeys, they will be machines. They will start to think and eventually, they will completely outthink their makers. We are now at the beginning of inorganic or mechanical evolution which will be thousands of times swifter".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Referring to that era, he said that "the present-day electronic brains are complete morons but this might not be true in another generation".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video has gone viral on the microblogging site and also caught the attention of Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who re-tweeted the post with one word — "Prescient".&nbsp;</p>
