Just days earlier, footage of real estate executive Gloria Caulfield being booed at her commencement speech at the University of Central Florida after mentioning AI went viral online. “What happened?” Caulfield as

Child safety experts are growing increasingly powerless to stop thousands of “AI-generated child sex images” from being easily and rapidly created, then shared across dark web pedophile forums, The Washington Post reported. This “explosion” of “disturbingly” realistic images could help normalize child sexual exploitation, lure more children into harm’s way, and make it harder for law enforcement to find actual children being harmed, experts told the Post.

Make captions “funny, provocative,” the thread instructs users. Use “redpilling message (Jews involved in 9/11)” that are “easy to understand.” 404 Media cited examples used in a visual guide posted in the 4chan thread that is hosted by Imgur. One featured an “image that shows a crying Pepe the frog with a needle next to its arm and a gun pointed to his head,” where the guide suggested the caption, “vaccines enforced by violence.” Another generated an imag

Law enforcement is continuing to warn that a “flood” of AI-generated fake child sex images is making it harder to investigate real crimes against abused children, The New York Times reported. Last year, after researchers uncovered thousands of realistic but fake AI child sex images online, every attorney general across the US quickly called on Congress to set up a committee to squash the problem. But so far, Congress has moved slowly, while only a few stat

4chan users who have made a game out of exploiting popular AI image generators appear to be at least partly responsible for the flood of fake images sexualizing Taylor Swift that went viral last month. Graphika researchers—who study how communities are manipulated online—traced the fake Swift images to a 4chan message board that’s “increasingly” dedicated to posting “offensive” AI-generated content, The New York Times reported. Fans of the message board ta

Microsoft’s AI text-to-image generator, Copilot Designer, appears to be heavily filtering outputs after a Microsoft engineer, Shane Jones, warned that Microsoft has ignored warnings that the tool randomly creates violent and sexual imagery, CNBC reported. Jones told CNBC that he repeatedly warned Microsoft of the alarming content he was seeing while volunteering in red-teaming efforts to test the tool’s vulnerabilities. Microsoft failed to take the tool do

All available evidence suggests that the US military was behind the bloodbath. Images that show fragments of US Tomahawk missiles on the site, leaked commentary from military analysts, and operational pro

Google Google Earth is the de facto record of our entire planet. But today, the company undermined its own credibility with a dangerous new AI feature — and then quickly pulled it down after people started using it to generate blatant misinformation. On Thursday, Google announced that it added an image generation tool straight into the web browser version of the app, allowing anyone to fabricate made-up satellite images of anywhere in the world. It was cle

Now let us imagine that we need to find the boundary between dark and light regions.For a human, this is obvious: it is enough to look at the image. But a computer must perform certain calculations to detect such a change in brightness.One way to solve this problem is to use a small weight matrix called a convolution kernel (kernel).It moves across the image, analyzes small patches of pixels, and calculates how much they differ from one another.This is the

The touching scene is from a new short film called "Sweetwater" that has an unlikely backer: Google. Amid all the hand-wringing over artificial intelligence and the potential threat it poses to Hollywood and the creative community, the tech giant is looking to reframe th

Meta continues to slowly adapt Facebook and Instagram policies to account for increasing AI harms, this week confronting how it handles explicit deepfakes spreading on its platforms. On Tuesday, the Meta Oversight Board announced it will be reviewing two cases involving AI-generated sexualized images of female celebrities that Meta initially handled unevenly to “assess whether Meta’s policies and its enforcement practices are effective at addressing explic

A Spanish youth court has sentenced 15 minors to one year of probation after spreading AI-generated nude images of female classmates in two WhatsApp groups. The minors were charged with 20 counts of creating child sex abuse images and 20 counts of offenses against their victims’ moral integrity. In addition to probation, the teens will also be required to attend classes on gender and equality, as well as on the “responsible use of information and communica

Artists defending a class-action lawsuit are claiming a major win this week in their fight to stop the most sophisticated AI image generators from copying billions of artworks to train AI models and replicate their styles without compensating artists. In an order on Monday, US District Judge William Orrick denied key parts of motions to dismiss from Stability AI, Midjourney, Runway AI, and DeviantArt. The court will now allow artists to proceed with discov

And as always, the company intends to do it all on its own, in its own corner. Images made by artificial intelligence are flooding social networks, and the industry is organizing itself to label them: invisible water

Google started cramming AI features into search in 2024, but last month marked an escalation. With the release of AI Mode, Google previewed a future in which searching the web does not return a list of 10 blue links. Google says it’s getting positive feedback on AI Mode from users, so it’s forging ahead by adding multimodal functionality to its robotic results. AI Mode relies on a custom version of the Gemini large language model (LLM) to produce results.
