Reddit will charge companies for API access, citing AI training concerns
Reddit has collected a treasure trove of human interactions and conversations throughout the past 18 years and this rich data pool has been the perfect spot for companies to train large language models, otherwise known as AI chatbots. Now, Reddit wants a piece of the AI pie and will begin charging companies for API access, which is necessary to train LLMs. After all, these are not mom-and-pop companies using the API to train AI chatbots. Bigwigs like Google and OpenAI use Reddit to help provide initial guidance to burgeoning artificial intelligence services. To that end, Reddit is introducing a "new premium access point for third parties," the company said in an official announcement.
Lightroom adds AI denoise to make old photos look like new
Modern smartphone cameras have become better and better at dealing with low light, and their multi-megapixel image sensors routinely take sharp shots in full sun. But it's likely that you have hundreds of grainy older photos from older cameras--and that's where a new AI feature from Adobe Lightroom may prove useful. Adobe Lightroom Classic, as well as the modern versions for Windows and Mac and Adobe Camera Raw, are adding a Denoise feature. Professional photographers may benefit from how Adobe sees it--taking high ISO shots in low light. Doing so introduces the "speckles" where an image sensor struggles to present the image clearly, due to issues like pixel density, the size of the sensor, and shutter speed.
AI overtaking domestic chores could close gender gap, says World Economic Forum
Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Artificial intelligence will help close the gender gap by handling more domestic chores and thereby allowing women more time for work and leisure, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). The WEF's conclusion stems from new research showing that advancements in automation and AI will allow robots to take over a significant proportion of domestic chores over the next decade. Specifically, a panel of AI experts estimated that, based on a list of 17 common domestic tasks, an average of 39% of the time spent per task could be automated within 10 years. The findings were published in PLOS One, a peer-reviewed journal.

AI has no kill switch, could 'destroy' foundations of society without guardrails: Expert
The Israeli author and historian said a lack of safety measures in new AI tech could cause the West to lose to China. Israeli historian and "Sapiens" author Yuval Noah Harari claimed there is no kill switch for artificial intelligence (AI) and urged for the implementation of safety checks and guardrails, or else risk the possibility of societal collapse. During a March interview with ABC News, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was asked if ChatGPT had a "kill switch" in the event their AI went rogue. Altman's responded with a quick "yes." "What really happens is that any engineer can just say we're going to disable this for now. Or we're going to deploy this new version of the model," he added.
'AI isn't a threat' โ Boris Eldagsen, whose fake photo duped the Sony judges, hits back
Since 52-year-old German artist Boris Eldagsen went public with the fact that he won a Sony world photography award with an AI-generated image, relations between him and the award body have soured. Sony have issued a statement, saying: "We no longer feel we are able to engage in a meaningful and constructive dialogue with him." His website reads: "Sony: Stop saying nonsense!" "I don't know why they behaved like this," he says, speaking to me from Berlin on the morning after the controversy broke. But I have a fair idea: plainly, they feel like they were conned, and had their aesthetic discernment called into question.
Award-winning photograph revealed to be AI-generated image, photographer turns down prize
Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' A German artist who won a major prize for photography has turned down the award after revealing his work was created with help from artificial intelligence (AI). Photographer Boris Eldagsen won the creative category of the open competition for the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 with his "photograph," titled "Pseudomnesia: The Electrician." The image, which depicted an older woman holding a younger in black and white, was "the first AI generated image to win in a prestigious international Photography competition," Eldagsen said in a statement posted on his website. "How many of you knew or suspected that it was AI generated? Something about this doesn't feel right, does it? "AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this.
Google CEO Believes Society is Not Ready for AI Advancement
While speaking on CBS's 60 Minutes, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that society is not ready for the rapid advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence). The advancement of AI, according to Pichai, will have an impact on "every product of every company." The Google CEO further added that society would need to adapt to the fast-paced changes brought about by AI. He said that a plethora of jobs would be affected worldwide, such as writers, accountants, architects, and, even software engineers. "For example, you could be a radiologist, if you think about five to ten years from now, you're going to have an AI collaborator with you. You come in the morning, let's say you have a hundred things to go through, it may say, 'these are the most serious cases you need to look at first.'"
Artificial intelligence is transforming our music, starting with Kanye West
Kanye West has never sung Hey There Delilah, yet there's his cover of the song online. It's been made using AI, and it's exemplary of how the technology is rocking the music industry, writes Elena Siniscalco Since he went on an antisemitic spiral, Kanye West's music has been accompanied by a bitter taste. But the rapper turned shoe designer has since had his voice co-opted by the masses, singing much loved favourites such as Don't Stop Me Now by Queen or Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's. All of these have been made by artificial intelligence, using Kanye West's extensive back catalogue to create a convincing replica of his voice. AI-generated music has been rocking the industry for years now, with a surge in younger and independent artists experimenting with it during lockdowns, when access to other equipment and studios was almost impossible. Some went in very unconventional directions, with singer Holly Herndon creating a clone of herself through AI that can sing any song in her voice, in any language.
'We got bored waiting for Oasis to re-form': AIsis, the band fronted by an AI Liam Gallagher
Before you do anything else with your day, you need to listen to this. A new "lost" Oasis album has been released, from the period between their third album, 1997's Be Here Now, and their fourth, 2000's Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. It was created by AI โ or at least, it's an AI Liam Gallagher doing its best "hellooooos" and "sun-shiiiines" over a real band. But the eight songs, including Out of My Mind, Coming of Age and Forever, are practically indistinguishable from the real thing, with some seriously catchy melodies that give every post-What's the Story album โ not to mention the whole of Liam and Noel's solo catalogues โ a run for their money. How do you get a computer to sing like Liam?
