California Proposes Landmark Regulations for AI

A California legislator has introduced a landmark artificial intelligence (AI) bill that would regulate the technology and address the potential dangers of AI. Artificial intelligence technology has advanced so significantly in the past few years that it is becoming increasingly integrated into key systems and people’s everyday lives. Many experts say AI technology may be dangerous to humanity, and some, including Center for AI Safety (CAIS) director and researcher Dan Hendrycks, say AI could even “destroy humanity.” Although the idea that AI poses an existential threat to humanity is widely disputed, industry leaders have expressed concern for issues such as…

AI Facilitates Decoding Ancient Text Attributed to Caesar’s Family

During the 18th century, many papyrus scrolls were found in the library of an opulent villa in Herculaneum. However, their contents remained unknown because scholars couldn’t unroll the scrolls to decode them. Any attempts to do so caused them to fall apart. Recently three students won a $1 million prize after they used artificial intelligence to read a scroll that was burnt during Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in August 79AD. The 2,000-year-old scroll was charred in the town of Herculaneum during the mountain’s eruption, making it unreadable. Dr. Federica of the University of Naples stated that the scrolls’ being badly burnt…

How AI Quietly Transforms Daily Life

Many medical professionals, schools and businesses are quietly integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools into their operations outside the watchful eye of the public. Much like the mobile phone and the internet before it, generative AI is slowly and steadily integrating itself into our daily lives. The unregulated technology is now being used to screen resumes from job candidates, teach children at home and even provide medical advice. Despite being in its infancy, the AI industry has the potential to revolutionize not just industry but the daily lives of regular individuals. Hiring processes already rely on AI tools heavily to…
