Deceptive uses of Artificial Intelligence in elections strengthen support for AI ban
Jungherr, Andreas, Rauchfleisch, Adrian, Wuttke, Alexander
All over the world, political parties, politicians, and campaigns explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help them win elections. However, the effects of these activities are unknown. We propose a framework for assessing AI's impact on elections by considering its application in various campaigning tasks. The electoral uses of AI vary widely, carrying different levels of concern and need for regulatory oversight. To account for this diversity, we group AI-enabled campaigning uses into three categories - campaign operations, voter outreach, and deception. Using this framework, we provide the first systematic evidence from a preregistered representative survey and two preregistered experiments (n=7,635) on how Americans think about AI in elections and the effects of specific campaigning choices. We provide three significant findings. There is a misalignment of incentives for deceptive practices and their externalities. We cannot count on public opinion to provide strong enough incentives for parties to forgo tactical advantages from AI-enabled deception. There is a need for regulatory oversight and systematic outside monitoring of electoral uses of AI. Still, regulators should account for the diversity of AI uses and not completely disincentivize their electoral use. Elections are times of high public attention on campaigns and their tools of communication. A representative survey of Americans shows that people dislike all kinds of AI uses in campaigns but are more critical of deceptive uses than those improving campaign operations or voter outreach (Study 1, n = 1,199). A survey experiment shows that when learning about specific AI uses in campaigns, American respondents reacted much more negatively to deceptive uses (Study 2, n = 1,985). Our study identifies a misalignment of incentives for deceptive practices and their externalities. We cannot count on public opinion to provide strong enough incentives for parties to forgo tactical advantages from AI-enabled deception.

40 Healthcare Technology Startups and Companies on the Forefront of Modern Medicine
In the fall of 2018, corporate finance advisory firm Hampleton published a report titled, "The healthtech sector is currently one of the most dynamic in technology M&A." As a summary of the report notes, "aging populations, increasing patient demands and the rise of lifestyle diseases, coupled with pressure on the costs for delivering care are forcing healthcare providers to innovate to improve the quality of their services and lower their prices." Those innovations are made possible by technologies that range from blockchain and artificial intelligence to big data analysis and advanced sensors. IoT connectivity plays a key role, too. And data is central, but not on its own.
Arteris IP FlexNoC Interconnect Licensed by Eyenix for AI-Enabled Imaging/Digital Camera SoC
NoC interconnect IP to be dataflow backbone for image signal processors providing enhanced sensitivity, high-resolution HD imaging through low current, low power in a single-chip solution for the security/surveillance market. Eyenix's imaging solution provides a step-function advance over their previous product, replacing a 3rd-party artificial intelligence (AI) function with a superior capability developed in-house for super-resolution imaging. This is provided in a tightly integrated system design, including functions for image stabilization for mobile usage and image dewarping for wide-angle camera correction. The first application is destined for surveillance camera applications. Eyenix chose Arteris IP on-chip interconnect technology as a part of Eyenix's proprietary image processing chip because it enables Eyenix to design and integrate a complete and superior Eyenix imaging solution without dependency on external IP blocks for the AI function.
