Fox News correspondent William La Jeunesse joins'Fox News Sunday' to discuss the evolution of AI and the push lawmakers are making to regulate it. The use of artifical intelligence to reimagine the classic film "The Wizard of Oz" will likely see mixed reactions from fans, experts told Fox News Digital. While "film purists" may resist the idea of using generative AI to give classic films an entire makeover, the technology could "breathe new life" into hit movies -- including "The Wizard of Oz." Warner Bros. Discovery, Google Cloud and Magnopus have set out to do just that by creating an immersive experience for fans of the 1939 classic. The new "Wizard of Oz" experience is set to premiere at the Las Vegas Sphere on Aug. 28. "The fan reaction will likely split into two distinct camps," Michael Walker, CEO of AI-First at Trilogy, told Fox News Digital.

Meta's Connect keynote felt different this year, and not just because it marked the return of an in-person event. It's been nearly two years since Mark Zuckerberg used Connect to announce that Facebook was changing its name to Meta and reorienting the entire company around the metaverse. But at this year's event, it felt almost as if Zuckerberg was trying to avoid saying the word "metaverse." While he did utter the word a couple of times, he spent much more time talking up Meta's new AI features, many of which will be available on Instagram and Facebook and other non-metaverse apps. Horizon Worlds, the company's signature metaverse experience that was highlighted at last year's Connect, was barely mentioned. That may not be particularly surprising if you've been following the company's metaverse journey lately.

Alexa was due for an upgrade, and now it has gotten one. This week, Amazon held its annual media event where it debuted a slate of new hardware, software, and services. The company reserved the spot at center stage for Alexa, the voice assistant powering all of Amazon's smart home ambitions. Researchers at the company have given Alexa a technological upgrade that enables it to be more competitive in the ChatGPT era. Alexa can now speak more naturally, hold a conversation without as many awkward interactions, and even make its responses sound more emotionally nuanced.

A PAC affiliated with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez's presidential campaign has rolled out an AI version of the candidate to answer voter questions. A Republican 2024 candidate is deploying a digital doppelganger created with artificial intelligence, and his political allies are hoping the clone could be a first-of-his-kind "campaign surrogate" that could one day even do media interviews. A fundraising group affiliated with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez's presidential campaign has rolled out an audio and video lookalike of the conservative leader that answers voter questions about his political stances. "We wanted to do something that was going to set him apart from the rest of the crew running for president," SOS America PAC spokesman Chapin Fay told Fox News Digital. "You know, we have to. All the candidates are trying to find their lane and differentiate themselves, and I think this is one way that we can do that for Mayor Suarez."

Google is bringing artificial intelligence to wind energy. The tech giant is providing wind turbine output prediction software to French utility company Engie to improve efficiency and predictability at Engie's German wind farms. Google Cloud's global energy solutions director compared the technology to a trading recommendations tool, and Google said early tests improved the value of wind energy by 20%. Engie is Google's first customer in this area, and Google says it hopes to expand the service beyond the US$33 billion wind power industry.

So you've been optimizing your email programme for a while now, you've segmented your database, developed customer personas, and you've implemented a range of triggered campaigns. However, your competitors have also raised their game, and the'business as usual' option just won't cut it anymore. You're looking for something that gives you the edge and helps take email campaign performance to the next level. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already helping marketers by serving personalized content at scale, reducing campaign production times, and enabling them to boost revenues and engagement. Forrester Research has predicted that businesses who use AI to drive marketing will gain $1.2 trillion per annum from those who don't.

Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Many consider the Turing test to be the ultimate judge of whether artificial intelligence is fully developed. Technology should be able to behave in such nuanced human ways that even humans recognize it as human. That's one reason many scientists consider the concept of beauty an ultimate Turing test. Can machine learning and data understand beauty and, more importantly, can it make us more beautiful?
