A team of researchers from Google and Stanford University recently conducted an intriguing experiment, wherein they created a virtual town for 25 AI "agents" to inhabit. The study, titled "Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior," aimed to explore the extent to which AI could mimic human behavior in a simulated environment, inspired by life-simulation games like The Sims. The researchers developed a town named "Smallville," populated it with ChatGPT-trained generative agents, and observed how they went about their day-to-day activities. A bird's-eye view of Smallville, which consists of houses, a park, a bar, a shopping center, a pharmacy and a college. The agents exhibited a remarkable degree of human-like behavior, with the ability to make inferences, store information in memory, and then behave accordingly.

DataGrade founder Joe Toscano and MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider said ChatGPT poses various dangers to jobs and information. Artificial intelligence (AI) experts and industry leaders have warned that automation, and reliance on programs like OpenAI's ChatGPT could have a drastic impact on millions of jobs, particularly in industries that can be easily automated. ChatGPT itself, a software which has sparked debate in recent months, said it could "potentially replace jobs that involve written communication," such as translation services and social media managers. When asked what jobs could be replaced by AI broadly, ChatGPT said financial analysts and customer service representatives, among others, could potentially be replaced by AI in the future. Goldman Sachs warned in a report Sunday that around the world, as many as 300 million jobs could be impacted by artificial intelligence automation, CNBC reported.

Scientists at the University of Michigan have developed an open-source, user-friendly, artificial intelligence driven software called LabGym that automatizes animal behavior analysis in various model systems and could be a boon to life scientists across the spectrum of basic science and drug development. The findings were published in the article"LabGym: quantification of user-defined animal behaviors using learning-based holistic assessment," in the journal Cell Reports Methods on February 24. Measuring animal behavior is instrumental in understanding fundamental neural processes as well as assessing therapeutic and adverse effects of drugs. Bing Ye, PhD, professor of life sciences at the University of Michigan, and his team analyze movements and behaviors in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to understand mechanisms involved in the development and function of the nervous system in humans. "Behavior is a function of the brain. So, analyzing animal behavior provides essential information about how the brain works and how it changes in response to disease," said Yujia Hu, a neuroscientist in Ye's lab and lead author of the study.

I drove up to our local park one morning recently when my kids were all at school. This park with the playground tucked away in the back corner by the lake is where I spent countless hours with my children in what is slowly but surely starting to feel like a different lifetime.

The MIT alumni-founded Overjet uses artificial intelligence to annotate dental X-rays for dentists. MIT alumni-founded company analyzes and annotates dental X-rays to help dentists offer more comprehensive care. A hospital radiologist is often pictured as a specialist who sits in a dark room and spends hours poring over X-rays to make diagnoses. Contrast that with your dentist, who in addition to interpreting X-rays must also perform surgery, communicate with patients, manage staff, and run their business. When dentists analyze X-rays, they generally do so in bright rooms and on computers that aren't specialized for radiology, often with the patient sitting right next to them.

Week seven of Sportsline Summer Camp ended with a trip to the westside and a visit with the Port Allen Pelicans on Friday, July 29.

Business at the Comanche County Courthouse returned to normal on Friday, after it was evacuated Thursday afternoon. The Comanche County Courthouse will be opening at its regular time Friday following an evacuation order Thursday.

PEORIA (Heart of Illinois ABC) - There will be a new eye in the sky this year at Peoria public schools. Tuesday night, the school board approved a new system designed to protect students, without being noticed. It's called'Intellisee,' an artificial intelligence that learns over time with the goal of protecting kids as they go about their day at school. It then alerts the appropriate staff to handle whatever problem it detects. If it's a puddle, a custodian will receive a message to clean it up.

An AI wrote this article. The last words are very frightening! Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving. What started out as a field of science fiction is now becoming a reality. As AI technology continues to develop, some people are beginning to worry that it could one day take over humanity. Before we can discuss whether or not AI will take over humanity, it is important to first understand what AI is.

Smart home or automation technology that converts a home fully tech-driven with a remote program device has integrated home appliances with sensors and actuators via the internet. But the next phase of it is bound to be of Artificial Intelligence that is fast taking off in this segment. The technology available so far is able to control devices like light, fan, TV, climate, enjoyment systems, and appliances. Some common applications include lighting control, HVAC, outdoor lawn irrigation, kitchen appliances, and security systems are already part of our daily life. Read: Canada's defense scientists develop a model to enable trust in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy (January 28, 2021) Voice control devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home have accentuated the process to control almost every aspect of home through the Internet of Things (IoT) at a cost that ranges from $174 to $10,000, which has made repetitive daily routines easier and significantly cut down on energy costs too.
