AI tech 'more dangerous than an AR-15,' can be twisted for 'malevolent power,' expert warns
PsychoGenics CEO Emer Leahy of Paramus, New Jersey, explains how the first potential AI-discovered treatment for schizophrenia was developed through machine learning. Fox News Digital spoke with her. The accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) will change the international landscape to empower "bad actor" strongman regimes and lead to unprecedented social disruptions, a risk analysis expert told Fox News Digital. "We know that when you have a bad actor, and all they have is a single-shot rifle as opposed to an AR-15, they can't kill as many people, and the AR-15 is nothing compared to what we are going to see from artificial intelligence, from the disruptive uses of these tools," said Ian Bremmer, founder and president of political risk research firm Eurasia Group. In referencing improved capabilities for autonomous drones and the ability to develop new viruses, among others, Bremmer said that "we've never seen this level of malevolent power that will be in the hands of bad actors."

Kai-fu Lee: What's next for artificial intelligence?
Some of the worst sectarian clashes since Lebanon's 15-year civil war (1975-1990) broke out in Beirut this week between supporters of Hezbollah and Amal, both Shiite political parties, and Christian, far-right Lebanese Forces. Shiite protesters were rallying against the state probe into the Beirut port blast, which occurred last year. They say authorities were singling out Shiite politicians for questioning and blame. In this video, watch Ian Bremmer's conversation with Lebanese journalist and author Kim Ghattas on GZW talking about the future of Lebanese politics and sectarianism in the county after the after the blast. It was originally published on August 19, 2020.
What is Artificial Intelligence and Who Controls It? THIRTEEN - New York Public Media
On the dash to the subway one morning, I grabbed an AMNY and proceeded to toss away the advertising insert, as usual. But the headline stopped me from dropping it in the trash: "What's Next? I work at THIRTEEN and the day before, I had attended a meeting about digital transformation, innovation and new technology. We're in the business of broadcast and video, but our discussion touched on all of the new ways content is being delivered, including voice assistants that pair with smart speakers for the home, like Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. So instead of reading the AMNY news of the day, I combed what the future might bring, according to the sponsored content insert (from NewsDay, for P.C. Projections of what artificial intelligence will do in our homes were impressive but also made me just a little uncomfortable.

A.I. Is No Hoax, It's Just Over-Hyped
This is the web version of Data Sheet, Fortune's daily newsletter on the top tech news. To get it delivered daily to your in-box, sign up here. The World Economic Forum annual meeting convenes this week in Davos, Switzerland. One of the biggest topics on the 2019 agenda, as it was last year, is artificial intelligence. That's because A.I. is at once an irrefutably important technological trend sweeping the business world and the subject of a commensurate amount of hype. After all, an immutable law of technology and business is that any complicated development brings with it self-proclaimed priests of said subject intent on frightening the less-informed into buying their goods and services.

At G-20, Can Donald Trump Stop Being the Wrecking Ball of the Postwar Global Order?
Donald Trump has become the wrecking ball of the postwar global order--and he clearly revels in its destruction. So far, he has little to show on big-ticket challenges, including Russia, China, North Korea, Middle East peace and Iran, international trade and tariffs, or arms deals. His next big test is this weekend, in Buenos Aires, at the G-20 summit, convening the world's largest economies and weightiest powers. All of those issues will be on his agenda in one venue. On Thanksgiving, Trump--who recently gave his Presidency an A-plus--said he is confident about his prospects at the G-20 summit, including negotiations with China's President, Xi Jinping, to avoid a trade war.
