Tokyo Turns to AI to Enable Rapid Response to Disasters

Earlier this week, the metropolitan government in Tokyo rolled out an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses cameras to detect building collapses and fires. The government’s aim is to enhance disaster response during earthquakes in real-time. This recent development comes just a week after the country’s weather agency warned of a heightened risk of a megaquake along the Nankai Trough, a 700-kilometer-long subduction zone. Serious earthquakes have been recorded every one to two centuries along this trough that runs between southwestern and central Japan, with the last occurring quakes taking place in 1944 and 1946. Both earthquakes measured 8.1 in…

New Method Could Rein in Overconfident AI Models That Are Giving Wrong Answers

Large language models are used for different tasks, including pinpointing financial fraud and translating articles. Despite their many capabilities, they may, at times, generate inaccurate results. In addition to this, models are sometimes underconfident about correct answers or overconfident even when their responses are wrong. This makes it hard for a user to know when to trust the answers generated by a model. Normally, a model that’s well calibrated shouldn’t be very confident about an incorrect response, and vice versa. To ensure a machine-learning model’s confidence level matches its accuracy, researchers often calibrate it. However, since large language models can…

Chuck Schumer Looks to Pass Bills Against AI Deepfakes as Polls Approach

This past year, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has emphasized the need for legislators to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). Schumer and others fear that without guardrails for using AI to portray political candidates, deepfakes of candidates such as Trump and Harris would fill the media landscape and ultimately weaken the trust and faith voters have in elections, their candidates and democracy. This comes after Elon Musk shared a deepfake video of Vice President Kamala Harris saying things she’d never said on his X platform. Schumer explained that deepfakes were a huge threat to democracy and national security, revealing that there…

‘Revolutionary’ AI Uncovers Hidden Risks of Heart Attacks

Data from the British Heart Foundation estimates that roughly 7.6 million individuals in the United Kingdom are living with heart disease. Now scientists have designed an artificial intelligence model that can spot inflammation in the heart, making it easier to identify those at risk of a cardiac arrest. The focus on inflammation is based on research which has determined that increased inflammation is associated with a heightened risk of fatal heart attacks and cardiovascular disease. The model was developed by Caristo Diagnostics, a startup company under Oxford University. Scientists are conducting a pilot study at five hospital trusts in Leicester,…

US Courts Face Puzzle as Music Labels Sue Over AI

Udio, an artificial intelligence (AI) music website, seems to be imitating songs written and produced by actual people, flouting the rights of artists globally. This shows how music generated by artificial intelligence is not based on its own creativity but rather by “stealing” the labor and creativity of others. This explains why earlier this year, artists such as Stevie Wonder, Nicki Minaj, Billie Eilish and Tift Merritt, among others, penned a letter warning that music generated by artificial intelligence trained on their own works could sideline artists and destroy creativity. The use of artificial intelligence in this way has big…

Why Zuckerberg Strongly Believes Open Source AI Could Be Best Approach

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes making artificial intelligence (AI) open source could be the best approach to leveraging the novel technology. Artificial intelligence has advanced significantly in the past couple of years and now represents one of the most demanded tools in business circles. With the advent of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, it seems like every business is racing to incorporate the technology into their products. In a recent blog posted on Meta’s website, Zuckerberg discussed the early days of complex computing when every major technology company focused on developing closed-source Unix…
