DALL-E mini is the AI bringing to life all of the goofy "what if" questions you never asked: What if Voldemort was a member of Green Day? What if there was a McDonald's in Mordor? What if scientists sent a Roomba to the bottom of the Mariana Trench?

Back in 1982, computers meant one of two things in the popular imagination. Either they were room-sized machines used by the military-industrial complex to crunch data on stuff like nuclear wars and stock markets, or they were fridge-sized arcade games such as Space Invaders and Pac-Man. Kraftwerk were singing about home computers, but if you owned one at all, it was probably a Sinclair ZX81, which was only marginally more sophisticated than a calculator. And yet, that summer, cinemagoers were catapulted into the digital future. Few appreciated it at the time but with 40 years' hindsight, Steven Lisberger's sci-fi adventure Tron was the shape of things to come: in cinema, in real life, and in virtual life.

Since the early 2000s, companies like Shutterstock and Getty Images have ruled the stock image industry. All was well until AI came along. Now, OpenAI's DALL·E 2 and Google's Imagen can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language. Could AI challenge the very existence of microstock agencies? Will they be forced to change their business model altogether?

Succinct event description based on multiple documents is critical to news systems as well as search engines. Different from existing summarization or event tasks, Multi-document Event Summarization (MES) aims at the query-level event sequence generation, which has extra constraints on event expression and conciseness. Identifying and summarizing the key event from a set of related articles is a challenging task that has not been sufficiently studied, mainly because online articles exhibit characteristics of redundancy and sparsity, and a perfect event summarization needs high level information fusion among diverse sentences and articles. To address these challenges, we propose a two-phase framework for the MES task, that first performs event semantic graph construction and dominant event detection via graph-sequence matching, then summarizes the extracted key event by an event-aware pointer generator. For experiments in the new task, we construct two large-scale real-world datasets for training and assessment. Extensive evaluations show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms the related baseline methods, with the most dominant event of the articles effectively identified and correctly summarized.

Lies are as old as language. We once thought the internet would make us smarter, by providing access to a world of information. But it has weaponized disinformation. We're having an epistemology crisis, many people falling into quicksands of falsehoods, or not knowing what to believe. But imagine having a device you can rely on to sort truth from lies.

With all the fuss about Google's LaMDA and whether it is self-aware or not, debates and fantasies over AI reaching self-awareness have resurged everywhere. We've all seen the movies and read the sci-fi novels of dystopian futures where an AI either enslaves humanity or proactively tries to get rid of it. Terminator, The Matrix, Transcendence,… But what if all of these fantasies were completely wrong? What if an AI could only be benevolent towards humanity? One of the core assumptions behind most of the dystopian AI stories is that such an AI is something that exists outside of us, a being which views itself as separate from humanity, looking at humans the way humans observe a bunch of cockroaches scurrying around, and thus capable of the same cruel treatments that we are capable of, like spraying them with a bunch of toxic insecticides to get rid of these pests.
