'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer voices growing alarm over AI manipulation

FOX News

While artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a bigger role than ever in Hollywood, award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer is warning it may be "dangerous." The "Karen: A Brother Remembers" author opened up about his growing concern over AI deepfakes and the potential blurred lines between reality and manipulation. "What I'm a little sad about is our prevalence these days to come up with so many, as they try to say deepfakes," he told Fox News Digital. "You know, the ones who say it usually are the ones who are actually doing it. "Karen: A Brother Remembers" author Kelsey Grammer warns about the dangers of AI deepfakes in Hollywood, expressing concerns over the blurred lines between reality and manipulation. AI-generated images, known as "deepfakes," often involve editing videos or photos of people to make them look like someone else by using artificial intelligence. While the "Frasier" star has acknowledged AI to be beneficial in some capacity, including in the medical field, Grammer shared his reservations about how the system can potentially fabricate someone's identity in seconds.

"I recognize the validity and the potential in AI, especially in medicine and a number of other things." Grammer warned, "But AI still is...


Private drone operators seek bigger role in disaster response

The Japan Times

Drone operators from the private sector who volunteered to fly unmanned vehicles to the disaster-hit Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture following January's magnitude 7.6 earthquake returned to the region last week after record-breaking rainfall caused severe floods and cut off access to remote communities. The Japan UAS Industrial Development Association (JUIDA), an industry body of drone companies, was commissioned by the Self-Defense Forces to carry out multiple missions to transport bread, vegetable juice, milk, and cooked and dry-packed rice to people in areas that had been cut off. Other operators that took part in the effort included KDDI SmartDrone, which was directly commissioned by the prefecture to fly drones over wrecked roads to snap images that would help assess the damage caused by landslides.


G7 finance heads vow financial stability, supply chain diversity

Al Jazeera

Group of Seven (G7) finance leaders have pledged to take action to maintain the stability of the global financial system after recent banking turmoil and to give low- and middle-income countries a bigger role in diversifying supply chains to make them more resilient. Their communique did not mention China by name but the supply-chain language fits in with "friend-shoring" efforts by industrial democracies to work with each other to become less reliant on the Asian manufacturing powerhouse for battery minerals, semiconductors and other strategic goods. "We commit to jointly empowering low- and middle-income countries to play bigger roles in supply chains through mutually beneficial cooperation by combining finance, knowledge, and partnership, which will help contribute to sustainable development and enhance supply chain resilience globally," the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors said in the statement on Wednesday. The finance chiefs of G7 nations – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States – met on the sidelines of International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meetings in Washington, DC. They said they discussed recent financial sector developments after the failure of two United States banks and the forced sale of troubled global lender Credit Suisse. "We will continue to closely monitor financial sector developments and stand ready to take appropriate actions to maintain the stability and resilience of the global financial system," the G7 finance leaders said.


AI has bigger role in cybersecurity, but hackers may benefit the most

Defending organizations utilize AI-powered email security measures to enhance network protection, detect advanced malware and ransomware, optimize critical data center processes, improve threat response times, and reduce human error. Unfortunately, threat actors have also identified the benefits of AI technology.


Tomorrow's 'Top Gun' Might Have Drone Wingman, Use AI

#artificialintelligence

Maverick's next wingman could be a drone. In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights. New technologies, though, are set to redefine what it means to be a "Top Gun," as algorithms, data and machines take on a bigger role in the cockpit -- changes hinted at in "Top Gun: Maverick." "A lot of people talk about, you know, the way of the future, possibly taking the pilot out of the aircraft," said 1st Lt. Walker Gall, an F-35 pilot with the U.S. 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England. "That's definitely not something that any of us look forward to." "I'd like to keep my job as long as possible, but I mean, it's hard to argue with newer and newer technology," he said.

AI Predictions For 2022 And Beyond - Liwaiwai

#artificialintelligence

We have all been down the same train of thought regarding artificial intelligence, thanks to sci-fi films peppered throughout the history of Hollywood: Artificial intelligence is too dangerous. However, as time has proven over and over again, humankind is unable to duplicate the same kind of AI that we see in the movies..yet. Any attempt at creating artificial intelligence is garnered towards machine learning and semantic similarity. We're still a long way from sentient A.I, but here's what's going on in the industry and what we can expect moving forward. The prestigious business magazine recognizes the fact that we already utilize A.I. in our day to day, and is playing an important role in automation.

As China Rises, the US Builds Toward a Bigger Role in AI

WIRED

For decades, the US government has let the private sector and the free market do their thing, betting this is the surest way to spur innovation and conjure up the advances needed to keep the American economy on top of the world. Now, with China ascendant, the approach is starting to change. Washington is taking baby steps towards something closer to central planning--seeking to inspire, guide, and protect advances in key areas like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing. The latest evidence of a shift in thinking is the final report of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI). The commission was created by the Pentagon in 2018 to study the national security implications of AI and related technologies, and outline a plan to keep the US ahead.


Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

– Blockchain is a mystery story or provides the foundation for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. What's different about blockchains compared to traditional big-data distributed databases like MongoDB. Its like featuring a product that contains small blocks of brain in form of dust but consider that the innovation efforts of several publicly traded asset managers and banks are also on this brain block dust quest. Computers start simulating the brain's sensation, action, interaction, perception and cognition abilities. Blockchain is a new approach to manage/monitor financial and other transactions, Guarding an innovation department or powerhouse lab is a smart setup without inbuilt component of artificial intelligence is like an effort of joining blocks without reference of previous block.
