New bill would force AI companies to reveal use of copyrighted art

The Guardian

The bill would need companies to file such documents at least 30 days before publicly debuting their AI tools, or face a financial penalty. Such datasets encompass billions of lines of text and images or millions of hours of music and movies. "AI has the disruptive potential of changing our economy, our political system, and our day-to-day lives. We must balance the immense potential of AI with the crucial need for ethical guidelines and protections," Schiff said in a statement. Schiff's bill, which was first reported by Billboard, has received the support of numerous entertainment industry organizations and unions, including the Recording Industry Association of America, Professional Photographers of America, Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.


ChatGPT's FarmVille Moment

The Atlantic - Technology

ChatGPT has certainly captured the world's imagination since its release at the end of 2022. But in day-to-day life, it is still a relatively niche product--a curiosity that leads people to ask questions that begin "Have you tried …?" or "What do you think about …?" Its maker, OpenAI, has a much more expansive vision. Its aim is seemingly to completely remake how people use the internet. For that to happen, the bot needs to be more than a conversation starter: It has to be a functioning business.


Global Big Data Conference

#artificialintelligence

Developers today have a fantastic assortment of tools and technology available to them, which they use to construct the digital world around us. However, the sheer number of choices in the DevOps and CICD toolchains introduces a vast amount of complexity, which leads to multiple inefficiencies. Now a new discipline called developer productivity engineering (DPE) is emerging to tackle this problem, and advanced analytics and AI play big roles. While the advent of DevOps and continuous integration, continuous deployment (CICD) methods has made developers lives simpler in many respects, they have also unleashed new forces that hinder developer productivity, according to Hans Dockter, the CEO of Gradle, the for-profit company behind the leading open source build tool of the same name. For starters, testing is critical to ensure software is bug free and doesn't pose a security risk.

How to build a chatbot using Rasa and Python

#artificialintelligence

Today we'll be talking about how to make an AI-powered chatbot using Rasa and Python. It doesn't matter if you have deep knowledge of python or are just a beginner in the world of coding! This article mainly focuses on the AI framework, Rasa, and a little bit of python. Before getting started, let me tell you the required software to be installed for the project. I am assuming that you already have Python 3.8 installed in your PC since Python 3.9 version doesn't work with rasa, it has some issue so I'll suggest you download version 3.8 if you don't have it. You can download the following two softwares from the link provided below (if you don't already have them on your PC, or you can continue with the article if you do).


Help fight noise pollution by identifying these sound clips collected from urban sensors

#artificialintelligence

Cities are noisy places, and a team of scientists believe that sensors, artificial intelligence, and some generous volunteers can help solve the problem. Sounds of New York City (SONYC) is asking citizen scientists to listen to 10-second sound clips collected by sensors around the city and identify what they hear. Users are presented with a spectrogram visualization of the audio and a menu of options ("small-sounding engine," "dog barking," "ice cream truck") and have to select all the options that apply. This information will then be fed to an algorithm that will learn to better identify the sources of noise on its own. Hopefully, all this will lead to a better understanding of noise pollution and better tools for fighting it.


When should a tech company refuse to build tools for the government?

The Guardian

During the second world war, IBM supplied the Nazis with technology used to help transport millions of people to their deaths in the concentration camps. The American technology company leased punch-card machines through a German subsidiary for the purpose of tabulating a population census, which allowed the Nazis to identify and track the movements of Jews all the way to the gas chambers. So helpful were IBM's machines that Hitler awarded a special medal to the company's CEO, Thomas Watson, in recognition of his services to the Third Reich. This shameful episode in IBM's history highlights an uncomfortable predicament for companies pursuing lucrative government contracts, and one that's recently reared its head for Google, Microsoft and Amazon: should they be held accountable for how their customers deploy their technologies? The question has come to the fore for Microsoft, after it was revealed that the company's Azure cloud computing arm was working with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).


Planning for hurricanes and other disasters with robocars

Robohub

How will robocars fare in a disaster, like Harvey in Houston, Irma, or the tsunamis in Japan or Indonesia, or a big Earthquake, or a fire, or 9/11, or a war? These are very complex questions, and certainly most teams developing cars have not spent a lot of time on solutions to them at present. Indeed, I expect that these will not be solved issues until after the first significant pilot projects are deployed, because as long as robocars are a small fraction of the car population, they will not have that much effect on how things go. Some people who have given up car ownership for robocars -- not that many in the early days -- will possibly find themselves hunting for transportation the way other people who don't own cars do today. It's a different story when, perhaps a decade from now, we get significant numbers of people who don't own cars and rely on robocar transportation. That means people who don't have any cars, not the larger number of people who have dropped from 2 cars to 1 thanks to robocar services.
