White House tight-lipped as push for congressional intervention into rapid AI developments heats up
Fox News' Peter Doocy questions White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about preparations over fears artificial intelligence will outpace humans. The White House remains largely on the sidelines of what has become a growing debate among Americans and lawmakers about the rapid developments being made in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and whether there should be some type of congressional intervention. Fielding questions from the briefing room on Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not say whether the Biden administration would urge lawmakers to federally regulate AI after she was asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about an open letter, which was signed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and other tech giants, that cited AI's "profound risks to society and humanity." "It highlights a number of challenges addressed directly in the administration's blueprint for an AI bill of rights, which was released last October," Jean-Pierre said of the letter. "It includes principles and practices AI creators can use to ensure protections related to safety, civil rights, civil liberties are integrated into AI systems from start to finish."

Ford patents system that sends rescue DRONES to jumpstart dead car batteries
Next time your car breaks down, just look to the skies - Ford could unleash rescue drones to jumpstart dead batteries of vehicles stranded on the side of the road. The American automobile maker published a patent Tuesday for a system that uses aerial vehicles fitted with three-pronged hands that open the hood to apply jumper cables or a direct charge. The document describes the vehicle, whether passenger or commercial, detects a low battery and transmits a signal to a central computer that sends a fleet. Ford suggests using the vehicle's GPS location to guide one of the drones to the car, which will snap images of the scene and relay instructions to its fellow machines. Ford's a system that uses aerial vehicles fitted with three-pronged hands that open the hood to apply jumper cables or a direct charge Ford has been pumping out patents for different uses of drones, suggesting it could eventually develop its own propelled machines, with one in 2018 that would use the UAVs to help guide driverless vehicles.
Through the Looking Glass, and What Google find there in the eye
Google recently published a scientific paper showing how an artificial intelligence model is able to predict a number of systemic biomarkers from a simple photo of the eye. How were such results arrived at? We discuss this in this article. Diagnosis of disease often requires examinations with expensive instruments and then interpretation by a medical professional who is trained. This is not always possible.
Opinion
For a few years, I've been trying to write a story about a cat. A.I. will not be able to write this, partly because the story is still inside my imagination and on a few rough pages that were originally drafted in Boston, on sheets of notebook paper, as I sat in my daughter's apartment on a hot summer day. If I have it published (who knows, it's a strange story), perhaps some machine will suck it into a system, break down my style, my usage, the themes I like to touch upon -- loss and despair, love and hope -- wide-ranging themes that, like all themes, arrive out of my own unique human concerns and have fueled me through six story collections. But for now, this story I haven't yet finished is inside my imagination, safe and sound, and no machine can make it or conjure it because no machine has been in my head as I wandered the streets of South Chicago, or stared at Lake Michigan from Promontory Point on the particular day I was there in June, or stopped in the parking lot of a supermarket called Treasure Island to examine a pile of snow, left over from a long winter, honeycombed and covered with dirt and grime, which is the image that closes the rough draft of my story; no machine stood with me in front of the Obama house, on the corner of 1118 Hyde Park Boulevard, and watched a Secret Service agent as he approached, another image that sparked the plot of my story, and certainly no machine was with me watching a cat named Baudelaire, my daughter's cat, as he played on a particular Chicago afternoon, in a particular moment years ago, clutching a piece of string -- yet another image that spoke to me through the retrospect of memory. No machine -- and I use that phrase because A.I. is a machine, and no matter how complicated, or even organic, its still-binary, open-and-shut gates may be -- looked through my eyes as I took the train to my hometown in Michigan, gazing out over the old steel mills of Gary, Ind., making note of images with intent, storing and twisting them in relation to the pain I felt that moment, riding back to my hometown in Michigan, to my father's interment ceremony, an experience that reminded me that I, too, will die someday, and the art I create will be all I leave behind.
Open Letter From AI Leaders: Let's Take A Break For Safety - CleanTechnica
The danger of artificial intelligence is a common theme in science fiction because it allows authors and filmmakers to explore ethical and societal questions that arise when humans develop entities that can rival or surpass their own intelligence. There are various reasons why this keeps popping up. The biggest one is probably loss of control. Human beings fear the idea of losing control over the AI they create, which makes it a common theme of science fiction. This fear has often manifested in movies like "The Terminator," where an AI becomes so intelligent that it sees humanity as a threat to its survival and wages war against humans.
How paid placements will evolve alongside AI-powered search
Google's ad business will celebrate its 23rd year this fall, but not before paid search undergoes massive changes. It's unlikely Google will sit idly by and take massive revenue hits as paid placements decline. We don't yet know what they will roll out to capitalize on AI-powered search – or when exactly users will see ads in this AI-powered experience. We do know there will be fewer advertising opportunities, increased competition and higher costs. But AI will also help advertisers better target consumers – and it could help them optimize campaigns, too.
More ads are coming to Microsoft's new Bing AI chatbot
Microsoft's helpful Bing AI chatbot will be getting more ads, the company recently announced in a blog post, which was penned by corporate vice president Yusuf Mehdi. In a statement to The Verge, Caitlin Roulston, the company's director of communications, clarified that the "ads will show in the new Bing, specifically in chat (as they do in traditional search results)."
