AI Headphones Allow Wearer to Listen to One Person within a Crowd

A team of researchers from the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering have designed an artificial intelligence system that allows its user to listen to a specific person in a crowd, if they have the headphones on. The system, dubbed Target Speech Hearing, enrolls a specific individual when the user looks at them for three to five seconds. Once this is done, the system blocks out all other sounds in the area and plays the voice of the enrolled speaker in real time. The system has been designed to work even when the user…

Scientists Caution About AI’s Capacity for Deception

Scientists say artificial intelligence’s (AI) capacity for deception is growing amid several instances of pretending to be human, bluffing, modifying behavior during tests and double-crossing opponents. As AI becomes increasingly advanced with a greater capacity for mimicking human behavior, the researchers say the technology's capacity for deception has grown equally sophisticated. AI has gotten so advanced that it can now hold passable conversations with people, defeat them at board games such as chess and even decode protein structures. However, scientists warn that artificial intelligence has become just as good at lying over the last couple of years. Analysis by researchers…
