No, we’re not talking about the 1999 blockbuster “The Matrix.” Instead, this is the story of Max, a San Francisco-based tech worker who began to feel his existence was eerily r

Sam Barnes/Web Summit via Sportsfile via Getty Images Employees haven’t been shy about pushing back against AI in the workplace. In a clear disconnect, bosses are often gung-ho about the tech, while their underlings are more aware that it often spits out confident-sounding work that on closer inspection is filled with subtle errors that need to be manually corrected. That divide was on full display when the mayor of Vancouver admitted extensive AI usage to

Getty / Futurism Imagine this scenario: your algorithm has pulled up a background YouTube video, or maybe a podcast. Unbeknownst to you, hackers have embedded inaudible sounds in it, designed to hijack your smart speaker or phone’s AI assistant — meaning the cybercriminals can now access your private photos, bank accounts, or any other personal information you’ve hooked up to your AI system. It sounds like an also-ran episode of “Black Mirror,” but it’s ex

At some point, we’ve all wondered about the incredibly strange names for paint colors. Research scientist and neural network goofball Janelle Shane took the wondering a step further. Shane decided to train a neural network to generate new paint colors, complete with appropriate names. The results are possibly the greatest work of artificial intelligence I’ve seen to date. Writes Shane on her Tumblr, “For this experiment, I gave the neural network a list of

AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude are expected to play a much bigger role in holiday shopping this year. Traffic to U.S. retail sites coming from AI platforms is expected to rise 130% year over year this holiday season, according to Adobe’s annual online shopping forecast. The forecast covers online spending from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 and is based on Adobe Analytics data from more than 1 trillion visits to U.S. retail sites. Overall, Adobe projects U.S.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked a court in his state to order OpenAI to pause development of new AI models without proper guardrails, given the “existential risks their product poses to human civilization—Floridians included.” The legal filing, submitted Monday, is part of a lawsuit brought in June alleging that ChatGPT is harmful to children and has been used in cases of self-harm and school shootings. The opening lines of the filing are

When 90 batches arrived for reviewLLMs are increasingly being integrated into existing business processes: information search and collection, data structuring, verification, and publishing. At the same time, the cost of a single mistake can be high: lost money, time, and reputation.The Human-in-the-Loop principle helps reduce this risk: a person who validates the data is added to the process. This article brings together our findings from two real-world bu

Saturday afternoon (Nov. 16) at Supercomputing 2019, Intel launched a new programming model called oneAPI. Intel describes the necessity of tightly coupling middleware and frameworks directly to specific hardware as one of the largest pain points of AI/Machine Learning development. The oneAPI model is intended to abstract that tight coupling away, allowing developers to focus on their actual project and re-use the same code when the underlying hardware cha

Donald Trump hosted a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, dubbed “A New Golden Age Summit,” handing out awards to his most favored tech oligarchs. It was an embarrassing display, with the 80-year-old president giving out medals to people like Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, and Jensen Huang. You may recall that as recently as last year, Musk was rage-tweeting that Trump was in the Epstein files. And now he’s getting a medal from the guy. The president also se

But the occasion quickly unraveled into an explosive scandal, with mathematicians accusing the company of stealing their work.
