Professor Mrs. Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice-Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) says it is imperative that Africa takes the investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and its responsible use seriously. "AI holds much promise and is seen as a game changer in transforming the digital economy. "Therefore, institutions of higher learning in the sub-Region should focus on programmes that are directed at equipping the next generation with the requisite tools to lead the digital revolution," the Vice-Chancellor advised. Mrs. Dickson was addressing a conference dubbed: "Responsible AI and Ethics – A Panacea to Digital Transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa", held at the Great Hall, Kumasi. The programme was held under the auspices of the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Lab (RAIL), KNUST, and the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Network (RAIN) Africa, which seeks to promote the responsible adaptation and use of AI in sub-Saharan Africa.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), coupled with a surge in training data, have led to the widespread use of AI for digital content generation, with ChatGPT serving as a representative example. Despite the increased efficiency and diversity, the inherent instability of AI models poses a persistent challenge in guiding these models to produce the desired content for users. In this paper, we introduce an integration of wireless perception (WP) with AI-generated content (AIGC) and propose a unified WP-AIGC framework to improve the quality of digital content production. The framework employs a novel multi-scale perception technology to read user's posture, which is difficult to describe accurately in words, and transmits it to the AIGC model as skeleton images. Based on these images and user's service requirements, the AIGC model generates corresponding digital content. Since the production process imposes the user's posture as a constraint on the AIGC model, it makes the generated content more aligned with the user's requirements. Additionally, WP-AIGC can also accept user's feedback, allowing adjustment of computing resources at edge server to improve service quality. Experiments results verify the effectiveness of the WP-AIGC framework, highlighting its potential as a novel approach for guiding AI models in the accurate generation of digital content.

Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith has the latest on ChatGPT on'Special Report.' Geoffrey Hinton, a computer scientist who has been called "the godfather of artificial intelligence", says it is "not inconceivable" that AI may develop to the point where it poses a threat to humanity. The computer scientist sat down with CBS News this week about his predictions for the advancement of AI. He compared the invention of AI to electricity or the wheel. Hinton, who works at Google and the University of Toronto, said that the development of general purpose AI is progressing sooner than people may imagine.

Kara Swisher has gotten to know a lot of tech-industry people over the years, and as she explains to producer Nayeema Raza in this episode of On With Kara Swisher, she knows "the difference between jerks and people who really actually do care about something bigger than themselves." Kara wholeheartedly believes LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman falls into the latter camp, even if the two of them don't always agree about the benefits and harms of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Hoffman is an AI evangelist who is knee-deep in that world (including, until he recently stepped down, being on the board of OpenAI, the nonprofit behind ChatGPT and GPT-4), while Kara looks at the current AI frenzy and sees storm clouds ahead. During her conversation with Hoffman, Kara asks the longtime tech entrepreneur and investor for his thoughts on a range of topics, from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank to his political advocacy and ongoing fears about Donald Trump. She also grills Hoffman about his seemingly unflinching tech optimism; in the condensed segment below, she asks him to make his best case for several new AI-based technologies as well as explain what does, in fact, worry him about how AI could go wrong. Journalist Kara Swisher brings the news and newsmakers to you twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.

AI has long been a topic of interest for filmmakers. From robots with a conscience to supercomputers gone rogue, there's no shortage of movies that explore the possibilities and pitfalls of AI. While classics like "Blade Runner" and "The Terminator" continue to capture our imagination, there are many other movies out there that are equally thought-provoking. Here are five AI movies that will get you thinking. This movie tells the story of a supercomputer named Colossus that is designed to prevent nuclear war by taking control of the world's weapons systems.

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.

But no amount of amateur water drumming arranged in GarageBand could be even half as weird--and fun--as some of the music that AI can make these days. Welcome back to Science, Quickly.

Levi Strauss announced plans to test customized AI-generated models with the goal of multiplying the number and diversity of models that customers can see. The denim giant partnered on the test with LaLaLand.ai, Currently, shoppers on Levi.com typically only see one model for each product. The AI technology, according to Levi's, "can potentially assist us by supplementing models and unlocking a future where we can enable customers to see our products on more models that look like themselves, creating a more personal and inclusive shopping experience." The project supports Levi's broader diversity, equity and inclusion objectives.

ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI that is trained to generate human-like text. It can be used for a variety of natural languages processing tasks, such as text completion, text generation, and conversation simulation. In terms of productivity, ChatGPT can be used to automate tasks that involve natural language, such as writing emails, composing messages, and summarizing documents. This can save time and effort for users, allowing them to focus on other important tasks. Additionally, ChatGPT can also be used to generate creative content, such as written articles, stories, and scripts, which can be used to improve the productivity of content creators.
