UN Chief Warns of Democracy’s Vulnerability to Unchecked AI

During the International Day of Democracy, UN Secretary-General António Guterres discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) could undermine democratic systems by distorting public opinion through generating deepfakes, fueling hate speech and spreading disinformation. He emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law, civil liberties and free speech while protecting human rights, noting that these values and rights were under fire. He argued that as civil spaces were shrinking and freedoms being eroded, mistrust would only increase. Guterres added that while there were dangers that arose with the use of AI, this tech could also play a positive role in strengthening…

Producers of Documentaries Unveil Guidelines on AI Use in Filmmaking

The Archival Producers Alliance (APA) has developed guidelines regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in nonfiction film. The APA is a volunteer group of more than 300 researchers and documentary producers, all focused on exploring contemporary issues that face the film industry. The guidelines, which were recently announced at the Camden Film Festival, are centered on reiterating the journalistic values that this space has long held. This comes after an open letter was published in the Hollywood Reporter late last year calling for more guardrails for the film-making industry. As artificial intelligence becomes widely adopted in production, these…

Apple’s iPhone 16 Makes Statement About Company’s AI Intentions

Earlier this week, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) rolled out its new iPhone lineup, which is comprised of four different iPhone 16 models. Each model has a special chip that can power a suite of artificial intelligence tools, a move that the multinational technology company hopes will increase its sales while making the products more indispensable to consumers. The artificial intelligence features have been designed to automate various tasks and turn Siri, the company’s virtual assistant, into a more versatile helper. This is in addition to doing other things such as allowing consumers to design customized emojis. The new models are…

Decoding Neural Code of Brain Could Yield Superhuman AI

One specialist in artificial intelligence analysis, Eitan Michael Azoff, believes that in the future humans will engineer superior intelligence with higher speeds and capacity than our own brains. This, he notes, will happen once we get to the bottom of how the human brain encrypts sensory information and moves it to carry out cognitive tasks such as learning, thinking, internal dialogue and problem solving. It is already known that sensory neurons respond to sensory information from one’s environment, then relays it to the rest of an individual’s nervous system. In his recently launched book, Azoff argues that reproducing consciousness in…

Rather Than Steal Jobs, AI Poised to Boost Employee Efficiency

Many around the globe are concerned that artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to loss of employment for individuals around the globe, including telemarketers, editors, freelance writers, customer-service representatives and coders. Last month, the White House Council of Economic Advisers revealed that it had found minimal evidence that artificial intelligence would impact overall employment negatively. The advisers added that history had shown that technology typically made companies more productive, helping create new jobs while also bolstering economic growth. They cited a study which found that 60% of the jobs held by Americans in 2018 didn’t exist in the 1940s and were…

Could Reported Risk of AI Interference in Elections Be Exaggerated?

Artificial intelligence (AI)’s popularity seems to be growing globally, with consumers, critics and experts all holding different opinions on the increased use of this tech. With at least 64 countries expected to hold their elections this year, new concerns on the use of AI in influencing election outcomes have been raised. While it is easy to believe all the negative stories about how artificial intelligence will influence and mislead voters, it is important to examine the evidence first. Findings from the Alan Turing Institute show that since 2023, more than 100 national elections were held. Of this number, only 19…

London School to Open AI Classroom Sans a Human Teacher

This month, David Game College plans to roll out its new course with a special twist: no teachers! This private school, which is located in London, will be teaching 20 GCSE students using virtual reality headsets and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms on their computers. These platforms have been designed to learn what each student is good at and what they need additional help with. Once this is done, the term’s lesson plans for every student will be adapted to suit their needs. Topics students have trouble with will be tackled sooner while strong topics will be scheduled for the term’s…

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) and NTT DOCOMO Leverage Quantum Optimization Technology to Boost Mobile Network Performance

A pilot project with Japan’s largest mobile service provider showed that the deployment of D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing solutions improved mobile network performance by 15%. D-Wave’s hybrid solver was able to process a task in just 40 seconds, compared to 27 hours with a general-purpose solver. The project demonstrated a significant reduction in signal congestion across base stations, which can potentially lead to more efficient transmission and cost savings. This collaboration marks an important step in applying and further integrating quantum computing in telecommunications. D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, and the first…
