Let's start with a little history lesson. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for decades, but it was only in recent years that it has truly exploded onto the scene. From Siri to Alexa to ChatGPT, AI has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. But beyond making our lives easier, AI is also being used to tackle some of the world's most pressing problems and drive social impact. Alongside critical sectors like education, healthcare, and finance, AI is being used to solve problems in fields as diverse as agriculture, energy, and even the criminal justice system.

As artificial intelligence grows more ubiquitous, its potential and the challenges it presents are coming increasingly into focus. How we balance the risks and opportunities is shaping up as one of the defining questions of our era. In much the same way that cities have emerged as hubs of innovation in culture, politics, and commerce, so they are defining the frontiers of AI governance. Some examples of how cities have been taking the lead include the Cities Coalition for Digital Rights, the Montreal Declaration for Responsible AI, and the Open Dialogue on AI Ethics. Others can be found in San Francisco's ban of facial-recognition technology, and New York City's push for regulating the sale of automated hiring systems and creation of an algorithms management and policy officer.

We are moving towards a tech-driven future. Artificial intelligence is becoming more prevalent in everyday life. Concern about machine learning bias is growing as machine learning and artificial intelligence become more mainstream. This topic is important because CompreFace, our face recognition software, is improving. This is similar to other facial recognition systems.

This story is part of Future Tense Fiction, a monthly series of short stories from Future Tense and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination about how technology and science will change our lives. Amanda sat at her desk, picking at the same $30 Little Gem salad she ordered daily, suffering a small burning sensation in her gut that was triggered either by acid reflux or the dying embers of her rapidly expiring conscience. Of course, it was standard procedure for her husband to demand that the security firm Dark Metal surveil potential new hires for any of his multibillion-dollar companies, but this was the first time Amanda had been involved in contracting the private intelligence agency herself. Seedlings is your venture, Reid had promised her, even though he'd named himself CEO. I want you to take the lead on this. Amanda was COO of Seedlings and reported to her husband, who dismissed Amanda's concerns about the legal ramifications of their actions. Worrying about the law was something poor people did, Reid insisted. Besides, she'd never seen Reid do anything that nefarious with this type of information. But Maggie Everett was the type of candidate that pleased Reid. Amanda had done her job, which was to find Maggie, and the people at Dark Metal had done theirs, which was to surveil her and create a comprehensive biographical profile. This seemed like overkill to Amanda. Maggie wasn't in the running to become a high-profile executive at one of Reid's billion-dollar firms. She was being interviewed to work at a preschool. Certainly, Seedlings differed from other private preschools--there was the possibility Maggie would be exposed to confidential information. But this was what NDAs were for. Unleashing a network of spies upon a poor teacher who would ultimately be responsible for 10 toddlers seemed like an absurd waste of resources. And this was just Phase 1. Phase 2 would have to wait until after Maggie was hired, of course. Amanda reopened Dark Metal's inch-thick dossier. The logline: Maggie was smart but stupid. Smart: She'd majored in English at Yale, then received an MFA in creative writing from Brown, and finally a master's in early childhood education from Columbia. Stupid: She'd accumulated $103,345 in student debt, which she'd never pay off unless she took a job somewhere like Seedlings.

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced that it has developed a CNN (convolutional neural network) algorithm-based image recognition system. CNN is a highly efficient recognition algorithm based on an artificial neural network. WiMi applies the CNN algorithm to image recognition technology, showing apparent advantages compared to the traditional machine learning algorithm. CNN realizes the construction of features by the computer itself, thus breaking through the bottleneck of the original way of classification. This has brought image recognition to a new level.

To address the challenges of digital intelligence in the digital economy, artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) has emerged. AIGC uses artificial intelligence to assist or replace manual content generation by generating content based on user-inputted keywords or requirements. The development of large model algorithms has significantly strengthened the capabilities of AIGC, which makes AIGC products a promising generative tool and adds convenience to our lives. As an upstream technology, AIGC has unlimited potential to support different downstream applications. It is important to analyze AIGC's current capabilities and shortcomings to understand how it can be best utilized in future applications. Therefore, this paper provides an extensive overview of AIGC, covering its definition, essential conditions, cutting-edge capabilities, and advanced features. Moreover, it discusses the benefits of large-scale pre-trained models and the industrial chain of AIGC. Furthermore, the article explores the distinctions between auxiliary generation and automatic generation within AIGC, providing examples of text generation. The paper also examines the potential integration of AIGC with the Metaverse. Lastly, the article highlights existing issues and suggests some future directions for application.

AI-based decision-making tools are rapidly spreading across a range of real-world, complex domains like healthcare, criminal justice, and child welfare. A growing body of research has called for increased scrutiny around the validity of AI system designs. However, in real-world settings, it is often not possible to fully address questions around the validity of an AI tool without also considering the design of associated organizational and public policies. Yet, considerations around how an AI tool may interface with policy are often only discussed retrospectively, after the tool is designed or deployed. In this short position paper, we discuss opportunities to promote multi-stakeholder deliberations around the design of AI-based technologies and associated policies, at the earliest stages of a new project.

On Monday, as Americans considered the possibility of a Donald Trump indictment and a presidential perp walk, Eliot Higgins brought the hypothetical to life. Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, an open-source investigations group, asked the latest version of the generative-AI art tool Midjourney to illustrate the spectacle of a Trump arrest. It pumped out vivid photos of a sea of police officers dragging the 45th president to the ground. He generated a series of images that became more and more absurd: Donald Trump Jr. and Melania Trump screaming at a throng of arresting officers; Trump weeping in the courtroom, pumping iron with his fellow prisoners, mopping a jailhouse latrine, and eventually breaking out of prison through a sewer on a rainy evening. The story, which Higgins tweeted over the course of two days, ends with Trump crying at a McDonald's in his orange jumpsuit. All of the tweets are compelling, but only the scene of Trump's arrest went mega viral, garnering 5.7 million views as of this morning.

It was 7 a.m. when Benjamin Perkin's parents got an alarming call. The person on the other end of the line identified themselves as a lawyer and said Perkin had killed a U.S. diplomat in a car accident, was in jail, and needed money for legal fees. The lawyer then put Perkin on the phone. "Hey Mom and Dad, I love you. I need this money," he said.
