Congress and AI - The New Stack
Congress has never been the quickest off the mark when it comes to making laws dealing with technology. Now, even as AI takes over creative writing and art, Congress continues to sit idle. As legislators endeavor to comprehend generative AI programs such as Microsoft Bing, ChatGPT and Google Bard, some of the more technology-oriented lawmakers are apprehensive about a repeat of Congress's unpreparedness in responding to the previous major tech wave -- social media. Worries, however, don't appear to be leading to action. True, there's a backlash now for letting tech companies keep Washington at arm's length with promises of "self-regulation" on critical issues such as privacy protection, child safety, disinformation, cryptocurrency, and data portability.

Neurosymbolic AI for graphs: a crime scene analogy
Have you ever watched a mystery movie and noticed a critical link before the characters did? Maybe this critical link even helped you solve the mystery before the end of the story. If so, think about how you made that connection: did you notice something that "just didn't add up?" Maybe, instead, one character's behavior seemed too suspicious from the beginning. Whether you made a logical deduction or made a prediction based on behavioral patterns, you performed link prediction, a common task researchers use on computational graph structures. In our recent survey paper, we focus specifically on methods which operate on graph structures.
Tech guru Jaron Lanier: 'The danger isn't that AI destroys us. It's that it drives us insane'
Jaron Lanier, the godfather of virtual reality and the sage of all things web, is nicknamed the Dismal Optimist. And there has never been a time we've needed his dismal optimism more. It's hard to read an article or listen to a podcast these days without doomsayers telling us we've pushed our luck with artificial intelligence, our hubris is coming back to haunt us and robots are taking over the world. There are stories of chatbots becoming best friends, declaring their love, trying to disrupt stable marriages, and threatening chaos on a global scale. Is AI really capable of outsmarting us and taking over the world? Well, your question makes no sense," Lanier says in his gentle sing-song voice. "You've just used the set of terms that to me are fictions.
AI might have already set the stage for the next tech monopoly - POLITICO
As generative AI and its eerily human chatbots explode into the public realm -- including Google's Bard, released yesterday -- Silicon Valley looks ripe for another big era of disruption. Think about the era of personal computers, or online businesses, or social platforms, when an accessible, unpredictable new idea shakes up the establishment. But unlike earlier disruptions, the reality of the generative AI race is already looking a little … top-heavy. With AI, the big innovation isn't the kind of cheap, accessible technology that helps garage startups grow into world-changing new companies. The models that underpin the AI era can be extremely, extremely expensive to build.
