Elon Musk, recently busying himself with calling people "pedo" on Twitter and potentially violating US securities law with what was perhaps just a joke about weed – both perfectly normal activities – is now involved in a move to terrify us all. The non-profit he backs, OpenAI, has developed an AI system so good it had me quaking in my trainers when it was fed an article of mine and wrote an extension of it that was a perfect act of journalistic ventriloquism. As my colleague Alex Hern wrote yesterday: "The system [GPT2] is pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible, both in terms of the quality of the output, and the wide variety of potential uses." GPT2 is so efficient that the full research is not being released publicly yet because of the risk of misuse. And that's the thing – this AI has the potential to absolutely devastate.

Xinhua has been experimenting with AI-driven journalism in recent years, including a robot reporter whose attempt to imitate a human went slightly awry. Jia Jia, a Chinese-manufactured robot who resembles a young woman dressed in historical clothing, interviewed AI expert and Wired magazine co-founder Kevin Kelly at an event in Hefei in 2017. Xinhua, which broadcast the chat live, billed Jia Jia as a special reporter. Jia Jia, however, clearly had hard time responding naturally to many of the questions posed by Kelly, sometimes taking up to 10 seconds to answer and restricting herself to one- or two-word answers that didn't always make sense. Earlier in 2017, a 1.2-meter tall robot called "Inspire" served as an intern reporter for Xinhua during that year's Two Sessions meetings.

When people think of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the major image that pops up in their heads is that of a robot gliding around and giving mechanical replies. There are many forms of AI but humanoid robots are one of the most popular forms. They have been depicted in several Hollywood movies and if you are a fan of science fiction, you might have come across a few humanoids. One of the earliest forms of humanoids was created in 1495 by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was an armor suit and it could perform a lot of human functions such as sitting, standing and walking.

In a remarkable step to render human journalism obsolete, state news outlet Xinhua teamed up with search engine Sogou to create the world's first female AI news anchor. According to reports, the anchor, Xin Xiaomeng will make her first appearance in March, during the upcoming two sessions political meeting. As far as applying artificial intelligence in journalism goes, China is pushing the boundaries further than ever. Just four months ago, Xinhua debuted the first male AI News anchor during China's world internet conference in Wuzhen. But, that was just the beginning.

AI is already being implemented in businesses around the world, and while worries persist over whether robots will be taking over the workplace, some are predicting that it will actually improve and even create jobs in the future. From devices in our homes to mobile apps, AI has already made its way into our daily lives. The workplace is no exception and AI has already helped businesses make better use of data and streamline processes. Artificial Intelligence on Big Data – Businesses are starting to use data to make decisions with the help of algorithms and real-time methods. AI assists with this by breaking down excessive data to help businesses make use of it.

We may be advancing into a new age of artificial intelligence, but humans have been dreaming about the possibilities of AI for far longer. It was almost 100 years ago when an AI first appeared on the silver screen, and the technology's prevalence has only grown since then. These AI characters vary from big to small, from good to evil, and from anthropomorphic to robotic, but what's really incredible is that these non-human characters were, from the start, always portrayed as individual nuanced personalities in their own right. The relationship between humans and AI in the movies is often complicated, much like it is in reality. Throughout the years, we've seen film representations of AI that range from benevolent companions seeking to help their human counterparts to hostile machines bent on the total destruction of humankind.

Early on, fans had every reason to be wary of Sony's Oscar-winning "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." The studio's last three Spider-movies outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe had seemed trapped in a web of confusion. And wouldn't a new release by the studio -- even an animated one -- conflict with the extremely popular Tom Holland iteration in the MCU? But all "Spider-Verse" has done since its release is earn the best reviews of any Spider-movie, ever (97% on Rotten Tomatoes) and sweep awards-season honors, including the animated feature Academy Award on Sunday night. It bested two competitors from Marvel's parent company, Disney, including early favorite "Incredibles 2" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet," as well as the smaller-scale "Isle of Dogs" and Japanese import "Mirai." Co-producer Chris Miller accepted the Oscar by saying, "There's 800 filmmakers [on this film] who pushed boundaries and took risks to make people feel powerful and seen."
