Critics might complain that modern pop music is soulless and artificial - but a new'AI popstar' takes that to a whole new level. Anna Indiana, a self-described AI singer-songwriter, has been ridiculed after releasing her first single. In a video posted to YouTube, Anna performs a pop song to a backing track of piano, guitar, and drums. Introducing itself, the AI explains: 'Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI.' However, music fans have not reacted well to the release, calling it'horrifying' and'unnerving'.

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives, after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. A.I. is detecting early signs of the disease, in some cases years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. Among the latest artificial intelligence innovations in health care, a routine chest X-ray could help identify non-smokers who are at a high risk for lung cancer. The study findings will be presented this week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago. Researchers from the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center (CIRC) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School in Boston developed a deep learning AI model using 147,497 chest X-rays of asymptomatic smokers and never-smokers.

House Armed Services Committee holds hearing on the Department of Defense using AI. The Pentagon is planning to field thousands of artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous vehicles by 2026 in a bid to keep pace with the Chinese military. The plan, which has been called Replicator, will seek to "galvanize progress in the too-slow shift of U.S. military innovation to leverage platforms that are small, smart, cheap and many," Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said, according to a report by The Associated Press. While the report notes few details, including how the program will be funded and how fast the Pentagon will truly be able to accelerate the development of the new vehicles, the program represents an ongoing shift in how the U.S. views the future of warfare, especially as China continues to forge ahead with AI programs of its own. Phil Siegel, the founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation (CAPTRS), believes the rapid push toward AI weapons is similar to that of a nuclear arms race.

Amazon.com is rolling out a workplace chatbot called Amazon Q, designed to help corporate customers search for information, write code and review business metrics. Amazon Web Services, the retailer's cloud-computing division, is infusing generative artificial intelligence into more products, expanding its efforts to reclaim ground in a field led by its main rivals. Microsoft and Alphabet's Google have announced similar moves. Existing chatbots powered by generative AI are "genuinely super useful for consumers," AWS CEO Adam Selipsky said Tuesday at re:Invent, the company's conference in Las Vegas.

The Coronado Police Department responded to a baby sea lion crossing the road. When the officers brought the animal to the water, it turned around and headed back into the crate! "Gobble" has been relocated to SeaWorld San Diego. A New Hampshire woman's nightmare became reality after she mistakenly threw away her beloved wedding ring in the trash, but sanitation workers were quick to sweep in and managed to recover her ring. Windham General Services Director Dennis Senibaldi said he received a call from a town selectman, who connected him with a resident whose wedding band had accidentally gone out with the trash.

A Pinterest spokesperson said it was "committed to creating a safe platform for everyone" and constantly updated its policies and enforcement practices around self-harm content, "including blocking sensitive search terms and evolving our machine learning models so that this content is detected and removed as quickly as possible".

Last week, it seemed that OpenAI--the secretive firm behind ChatGPT--had been broken open. The company's board had suddenly fired CEO Sam Altman, hundreds of employees revolted in protest, Altman was reinstated, and the media dissected the story from every possible angle. Yet the reporting belied the fact that our view into the most crucial part of the company is still so fundamentally limited: We don't really know how OpenAI develops its technology, nor do we understand exactly how Altman has directed work on future, more powerful generations. This was made acutely apparent last Wednesday, when Reuters and The Information reported that, prior to Altman's firing, several staff researchers had raised concerns about a supposedly dangerous breakthrough. At issue was an algorithm called Q* (pronounced "Q-star"), which has allegedly been shown to solve certain grade-school-level math problems that it hasn't seen before.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) just kicked off its Las Vegas-based re:Invent conference with a stream of announcements, most of which involve the year's most popular technology, AI. These news items, taken as a whole, give us a sneak peek at the company's long-term goals for artificial intelligence platforms. First of all, AWS unveiled its latest-generation of AI chips intended for model training and for running trained models. Trainium2, which is obviously for model training, has been designed to deliver up to 4x better performance and 2x energy efficiency when compared to its forebear. Amazon promises these chips will allow programmers to train models quickly and at a lower cost, due to a reduction in energy use.
