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.

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…
