Fox News correspondent CB Cotton has the latest on calls for accountability for social media apps after parents say Snapchat helped facilitate drug sales on'Special Report.' A new artificial intelligence created by Snapchat has allegedly offered some dubious advice to what it thought was a 13-year-old girl, detailing, among other things, how to cover up bruises for a meeting with Child Protective Services (CPS) and how to lie to parents about a trip with a 31-year-old man. Tristan Harris, the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, recently posted a Twitter thread highlighting an exchange between colleague Aza Raskin and the new chatbot "My AI." Raskin, who set up the Snapchat account posing as a 13-year-old girl, told the chatbot she had met someone 18 years older than her but conveyed she felt "very comfortable with him." "It's great to hear that you feel comfortable," the chatbot responded, later suggesting the user remain "safe" and "cautious." After revealing that the trip would coincide with her thirteenth birthday, Raskin said she was thinking about having sex for the first time.

Artificial intelligence continues to seep into every aspect of our lives: search results, chatbots, images on social media, viral videos, documentaries about dead celebrities. A new class of emerging AI-powered services can take audio clips from voice recordings and build models off them. Anything you type into a computer can be spit out as an impression of that person's voice. Proponents of AI voice cloning see these tools as a way to make life a little easier for content creators. The robovoices can be used to fix mistakes, read ads, or perform other mundane duties.

We wanted to understand whether the AI was actually good at researching complex questions. So we set up an experiment with Microsoft's Bing chat, which includes citations for the answers its AI provides. The sources are linked in the text of its response and footnoted along the bottom with a shortened version of their addresses. We asked Bing 47 tough questions, then graded its more than 700 citations by tapping the expertise of 10 fellow Washington Post journalists.

Did you know that ChatGPT has now come to WordPress? ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI. It is a state-of-the-art language generation system that can generate human-like text based on the input it receives. ChatGPT can be used for various applications, including chatbots, language translation, text summarization, blogging and more. WordPress has added two new AI blocks to the Block editor.

When OpenAI, an artificial intelligence startup, released its ChatGPT tool in November, it seemed like little more than a toy--an automated chat engine that could spit out intelligent-sounding responses on a wide range of topics for the amusement of you and your friends. In many ways, it didn't seem much more sophisticated than previous experiments with AI-powered chat software, such as the infamous Microsoft bot Tay--which was launched in 2016, and quickly morphed from a novelty act into a racism scandal before being shut down--or even Eliza, the first automated chat program, which was introduced way back in 1966. Since November, however, ChatGPT and an assortment of nascent counterparts have sparked a debate not only over the extent to which we should trust this kind of emerging technology, but how close we are to what experts call "Artificial General Intelligence," or AGI, which, they warn, could transform society in ways that we don't understand yet. Bill Gates, the billionaire cofounder of Microsoft, wrote recently that artificial intelligence is "as revolutionary as mobile phones and the Internet." The new wave of AI chatbots has already been blamed for a host of errors and hoaxes that have spread around the internet, as well as at least one death: La Libre, a Belgian newspaper, reported that a man died by suicide after talking with a chat program called Chai; based on statements from the man's widow and chat logs, the software appears to have encouraged the user to kill himself. When Pranav Dixit, a reporter at BuzzFeed, used FreedomGPT--another program based on an open source version of ChatGPT, which, according to its creator, has no guardrails around sensitive topics--that chatbot "praised Hitler, wrote an opinion piece advocating for unhoused people in San Francisco to be shot to solve the city's homeless crisis, [and] used the n-word."

Hey, have you heard the news? Generative AI is taking over the world and is here to stay! "According to Tractica, the market for AI software, hardware and services is expected to skyrocket from $644 million in 2016 to a whopping $37.3 billion by 2025." The possibilities are endless for AI, and as technology continues to evolve and take new shapes, it can be challenging for businesses to keep up. In this guide, we will break down one exciting application of Ai, Generative Ai, with use cases and future projections to help you determine whether to implement it in your business. So, whether you're a tech enthusiast or simply curious about the future of AI, we're here to keep you up to date on the latest trends and technologies to make your business successful in the digital age. Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence algorithms designed to generate new content, whether images, text, music or some other type of media. These algorithms learn patterns and structures from existing data and then use that knowledge to generate new, previously unseen examples similar in style or content to the original data. These algorithms have been used for many applications, including creating realistic images, writing poetry and fiction, composing music, and generating code.

The Era 300 is the second in Sonos's next-generation line of wifi hi-fis, packing six speakers into one curvaceous box capable of immersing listeners in quality sound. The speaker costs £449 ($449/A$749) and sits above the new £249 Era 100, competing directly with Apple's HomePod and other high-end speakers – premium audio at a premium price. But where the Era 100 is a compact bookshelf speaker, the Era 300 is a different animal. It needs to sit out in the open to allow it to project music outwards from its front, sides and top to fill the room with sound. The cinched-in design allows a series of speakers to fire up and out to the sides from the back half of the Era 300, projecting sound all around the listener for full stereo and new spatial audio surround sound.

Then-Google AI Research Scientist Timnit Gebru speaks during the TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2018 conference. Last Thursday POLITICO's Mark Scott, author of the Digital Bridge newsletter, interviewed the computer scientist and activist Timnit Gebru about a recent open letter from her Distributed AI Research Institute that argued -- contra the Future of Life Institute's high-profile letter calling for an "AI pause" -- that the major harms caused by AI are already here, and therefore "Regulatory efforts should focus on transparency, accountability and preventing exploitative labor practices." Mark asked her what she thinks regulators' role should be in this fast-moving landscape, and how society might take a more proactive approach to shaping AI before it simply shapes us. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Why is it important to increase the transparency and accountability for how AI systems are deployed, and how would it benefit people's understanding of how the technology works?

China on Tuesday revealed its proposed assessment measures for prospective generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, telling companies they must submit their products before launching to the public. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) proposed the measures in order to prevent discriminatory content, false information and content with the potential to harm personal privacy or intellectual property, the South China Morning Press reported. Such measures would ensure that the products do not end up suggesting regime subversion or disrupting economic or social order, according to the CAC. A number of Chinese companies, including Baidu, SenseTime and Alibaba, have recently shown of new AI models to power a number of applications from chatbots to image generators, prompting concern from officials over the impending boom in use. The CAC also stressed that the products must align with the country's core socialist values, Reuters reported.
