Al Jazeera launches new integrative AI model, 'The Core' Al Jazeera Media Network is launching a new integrative artificial intelligence (AI) model in collaboration with Google Cloud. Al Jazeera said on Sunday that it was expanding its collaboration with Google Cloud on the network's new initiative, dubbed "The Core", that will integrate AI into its news operations. "The Core" aims to shift the role of AI "from a passive tool to an active partner in journalism", Al Jazeera said. Relying on six pillars, the initiative will integrate AI systems to help Al Jazeera journalists process complex data, produce immersive content, gain access to analytical context and automate internal workflows, among other things. "Al Jazeera is committed to establishing a global technological ecosystem that cements our leadership in the AI era," said Sheikh Nasser bin Faisal Al Thani, director general of Al Jazeera Media Network.

A French soldier uses a drone during a training exercise at a military field near Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Time was, military contractors appealed to equity investors for their stodginess -- predictable revenue, solid profit margins and reliable dividends. While weaponry behemoths like fighter-jet maker Lockheed Martin and missile producer RTX still occupy a key corner of most stock portfolios, they've gotten some company of late -- nimble upstarts more akin to technology firms with lofty valuations and the promise of rapid profit growth. The newcomers at the top of the rankings -- in share price appreciation, if not yet market value -- include drone-maker Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, satellite intelligence outfit Planet Labs PBC and data analytics company Palantir Technologies. Each has seen its stock at least double this year.

Plus: Cisco discloses a zero-day with no available patch, Venezuela accuses the US of a cyberattack, and more. Federal contracting records reviewed by WIRED this week show that United States Customs and Border Protection is transitioning from testing small drones to using them as standard surveillance tools, a move that will further expand CBP's already extensive dragnet that in some cases extends far beyond US land borders. Meanwhile, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to incorporate a broad cybersecurity contract that will include expanding employee surveillance and monitoring . The move comes as the US government is escalating leak investigations and condemning internal dissent. The Chinese-language artificial intelligence app Haotian can be used to create "nearly perfect" face swaps during live video chats, and it is a favorite tool of Southeast Asian scammers.

Finally, he gave the summaries to his fine-tuned model, and he asked it to compose passages "in the style of Vauhini Vara." Going into all this, I was self-assured, even smug. I'd always felt that my style was original and, more important, that my books were totally distinct from one another. I figured that, even if the A.I. model could imitate my past books, it couldn't predict the style of the novel in progress. So, when Chakrabarty sent me the A.I.-generated imitations, I was genuinely confused.

Are these AI prompts damaging your thinking skills? What was the last thing you asked an AI chatbot to do for you? Maybe you asked it for an essay structure to help answer a tricky question, provide an insightful analysis of a chunky data set, or to check if your cover letter matches the job description. Some experts worry that outsourcing these kinds of tasks means your brain is working less - and could even be harming your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Earlier this year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a study showing that people who used ChatGPT to write essays showed less activity in brain networks associated with cognitive processing while undertaking the exercise.

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party says that an envisaged new requirement of Japanese proficiency for obtaining permanent residency was prompted by many reports of issues involving foreign residents in local communities and administrative procedures resulting from their lack of Japanese language skills. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party is considering adding Japanese language proficiency as a requirement for permanent residency for foreign nationals, sources familiar with the matter have said. To obtain the status, foreign nationals will also be mandated to take a program aimed at helping them smoothly integrate into local communities, the sources said Friday. The envisaged new requirements will be included in a draft package of proposals on policy for foreign nationals, to be compiled next month for submission to the government. According to the Immigration Services Agency, the number of foreign residents in Japan stood at about 3,956,600 as of the end of last June.
