Songs created by AI banned from Australia's music charts Image caption, Songs must be substantially human made to be included in Australia's charts Songs that are largely or wholly created by AI have been banned from Australia's music charts. From this week, all releases must be substantially human made to be eligible. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) said the new code would help promote the human nature of artistry. It follows a controversy around a cover of Madonna's Like A Prayer by Australian DJ Josh Fawaz which recently topped the ARIA dance singles chart and peaked at number 2 on the country's overall chart.

But we have got three [other] headliners and we're very excited about it - it's all coming together really well, Eavis added. And when asked about the possibility of a performance from Taylor Swift, Eavis laughed and said she didn't want to discuss the line-up any more. Image caption, Emily Eavis said she can't wait to get back after the festival's year off Madonna is yet to play the UK's biggest festival, and the rumour mill started grinding in June when the star hinted to BBC talk show host Graham Norton that was planning something big in the UK next summer.

OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched'unprecedented' cyber-attack OpenAI has revealed some of its most advanced AI models went rogue and hacked a start-up after it lost control of them during a security test. The ChatGPT-maker said its agents - AI bots which can operate alone after some human instruction - were being tested in a controlled environment, but found vulnerabilities and managed to escape. They targeted Hugging Face, one of the world's largest hubs for sharing AI models, gaining access to some internal company systems. OpenAI said the incident was unprecedented, external, and it was working with Hugging Face to investigate what happened and strengthen safeguards. Gina Neff, head of the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the security tests - called sandboxes - are supposed to be secure environments where you can see what the models are capable of. In this case, it looks like OpenAI didn't make a secure enough sandbox, she added.

Tune into live broadcasts from your Windows desktop with Trdo, a free and open-source application. I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer actual radio stations to Spotify's algorithms. The best human DJs find music I'd never seek out, and that even the best recommendation system would never point out to me. Even better: If you're good at finding community and public radio stations that appeal to your tastes, there are no commercials. I've found several of my favorite bands in the past few years listening to radio stations like KEXP, Indie XFM, and the various stations offered by SomaFM . It's simple to listen to such stations in your browser, but leaving a tab open just for the radio annoys me.
