Nicola Coughlan and Matt Lucas among stars backing campaign against AI voice cloning

The Guardian

Nicola Coughlan says she is deeply worried that legislation is not keeping up with the rapid rise of AI technology. Nicola Coughlan says she is deeply worried that legislation is not keeping up with the rapid rise of AI technology. Nicola Coughlan, Hugh Bonneville and Matt Lucas are among a group of actors backing a campaign against artificial intelligence voice cloning. Save Our Voices Now, which is also being supported by Luke Evans, Jen Brister, Siobhรกn McSweeney and Pearl Mackie, aims to stop the practice in which AI technology is used to replicate a real person's voice to say anything it is prompted to. Bonneville, the star of Paddington and Downton Abbey, said: "My voice is unique, it's mine, it's part of my identity. "The quote was handwritten, not created by AI," he added. About 80 people have added their signatures to an open letter to the prime minister, Andy Burnham, and a Gov.uk petition has been launched to ask for everyone in Britain to be given ownership of their voice as part of their statutory rights. The Derry Girls actor McSweeney said: "I'm deeply worried that legislation, contracts, working practices and ethics, and artists' rights are not being considered or protected as quickly as AI technology is progressing.

Eight months after Rob and Michele Reiner were fatally stabbed in their Brentwood home, son Jake opens up, describing his parents' deaths and brother's arrest as a "living nightmare." A grand jury has indicted younger son Nick Reiner on double-murder charges with special allegations of lying in wait, leaving him facing life without parole or the death penalty. Jake recalls learning of the killings during a memorial, confronting the surreal crime scene at his childhood home and honoring his parents with sister Romy in an emotional Dodger Stadium first pitch. Eight months have passed since Rob and Michele Reiner were killed and their youngest son was arrested and charged with murder, but the couple's eldest son still feels he "will never understand why this happened."

In a television interview with ABC News, Jake Reiner, the eldest son, described the aftermath of the slayings and the arrest of his brother, Nick, as a "living nightmare." "Nobody really understands what it's like to go through something like that until you're living it," said Jake, 34. It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes because every moment that I wake up, I'm reminded of my reality."

AI agents create virtual playgrounds to help robots get crucial training data

AIHub

Robots walking down the street, surrounded by astounded onlookers, is an increasingly common sight. But these machines aren't yet the do-it-all assistants you'd want working in a kitchen or factory, and a major bottleneck is data. Much like humans, robots learn best by experience. The challenge is that it's labor-intensive and time-consuming to physically teach these machines so many actions across different settings. "One natural idea is to use simulation as a training ground. While there has been significant progress over the last few years in the physics engines that power robotics simulators, one of the remaining challenges has been creating sufficiently rich and diverse simulation content to capture the complexity of the real world," says Russ Tedrake, the Toyota Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Mechanical Engineering at MIT, and a principal investigator at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).
