Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here. Glenn Close acknowledged the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry during a stop in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. The Academy Award-nominated actress has been trying to keep her "equilibrium" lately, ahead of celebrating Sundance Institute icon Michelle Satter at a gala fundraiser. "I'm very lucky to have a job," Close told The Hollywood Reporter. "There were so many people impacted in LA already, and then now with the fires. I was astounded at how few jobs there are in our profession. I'm a big reader of history, and unfortunately, I think not enough people in this country understand the history and what we've just gotten ourselves into. "On top of that is [artificial intelligence].

Concerns about AI interfering with the 2024 elections are well-founded, yet not unprecedented in recent history. In 1975, the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA foreshadowed today's AI concerns. Asilomar set the precedent on how to respond to changes in scientific knowledge. According to conference organizers, biochemist Paul Berg and molecular biologist Maxine Singer, the proper response to new scientific knowledge was to develop guidelines that governed how to regulate it. They were as wrong as those asking for AI regulation.

Short-term threats posed by artificial intelligence to democracy and privacy need to be addressed as urgently as longer term existential threats, Kamala Harris, the US vice-president, is expected to say in a speech setting out the Biden administration's vision before the UK's Bletchley Park summit on AI. In a speech in London on Wednesday before attending the conference, she will say: "We reject the false choice that suggests we can either protect the public or advance innovation. We can – and we must – do both. And we must do so swiftly, as this technology rapidly advances." Harris wants to advance beyond the debates about the future potential, sometimes speculative, existential threats posed by AI in the future to examine harms that are already happening, including those associated with discrimination and disinformation.

Three decades later, Hozier's debut single Take Me to Church, which he said criticised the church's teaching of "shame about sexual orientation", reached number one in 12 countries and remains the 30th most streamed song of all time.

Stephen Cave has considerable experience of well-intentioned actions that have unhappy consequences. A former senior diplomat in the foreign office during the New Labour era, he was involved in treaty negotiations which later – and unexpectedly – unravelled to trigger several international events that included Brexit. "I know the impact of well-meant global events that have gone wrong," he admits. His experience could prove valuable, however. The former diplomat, now a senior academic, is about to head a new Cambridge University institute which will investigate all aspects of artificial intelligence in a bid to pinpoint the intellectual perils we face from the growing prowess of computers and to highlight its positive uses.

When trying to make sense of it in an interview on British television with one of the researchers who warned of an existential threat, the presenter said: "As somebody who has no experience of this… I think of the Terminator, I think of Skynet, I think of films that I've seen."

Tom Newhouse, vice president of Convergence Media, discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence on elections after an RNC AI ad garnered attention. EXCLUSIVE: The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is planning a series of hearings in the coming weeks and months to bring his members up to speed on artificial intelligence, as Congress faces a growing number of calls to regulate the emerging technology. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., told Fox News Digital that the Senate has plenty to learn about AI, and that he has several hearings in mind. "I'm hoping every time we come back here for a work period, that we're going to have a hearing taking a different topic related to AI up, so that we can get just a good sense of where the technology is today, where it's going in the future. What are some of the opportunities that it presents, as well as some of the threats?" the senator explained.

Log Off Movement CEO Emma Lembke and teacher Matt Miles discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on kids on'The Story.' Fifty-five percent of Americans are worried by the threat of AI to the future of humanity, according to a recent Monmouth University poll. More than 1,000 AI experts and funders, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, signed a letter calling for a six-month pause in training new AI models. In turn, Time published an article calling for a permanent global ban. However, the problem with these proposals is that they require coordination of numerous stakeholders from a wide variety of companies and government figures. Let me share a more modest proposal that's much more in line with our existing methods of reining in potentially threatening developments: legal liability.

Hinton says it isn't unreasonable for people to worry about the artificial intelligence threat to humanity, even if that threat isn't likely to pop up within the next few years. Artificial intelligence is expanding at a terrifying rate, and our world is steadily becoming more saturated with digital systems capable of doing amazing things. While Elon Musk and others have called for AI development to pause, others want to continue pushing forward without concern. However, the want to pause may not be unfounded, as an AI pioneer says the AI threat to humanity isn't nonexistent. In a new interview with CBS News, Geoffrey Hinton, who has become known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence," spoke about the rise of AI and how it could eventually lead to the extinction of the human race.
