Joke's on you, fleshbag! Channel 4's first AI presenter is dizzyingly grim on so many levels

The Guardian

Will AI Take My Job? Dispatches AI presenter Aisha Gaban. Will AI Take My Job? Dispatches AI presenter Aisha Gaban. Channel 4's first AI presenter is dizzyingly grim on so many levels The AI-generated host of Dispatches raises worrying questions about Channel 4's environmental impact. She's also a dead-eyed host who might leave Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Kevin McCloud fearing for their future L ast night's Dispatches was called Will AI Take My Job? Usually when something like this employs a question mark in the title, it's because the answer is no. Not this time, though, because the sheer overwhelming inevitability of AI taking our jobs is genuinely painful to think about. According to the film, 8m jobs in the UK alone are at risk of being outsourced by AI.



British female politicians targeted by fake pornography

The Guardian

British female politicians have become the victims of fake pornography, with some of their faces used in nude images created using artificial intelligence. Political candidates targeted on one prominent fake pornography website include the Labour deputy leader, Angela Rayner; the education secretary, Gillian Keegan; the Commons leader, Penny Mordaunt; the former home secretary, Priti Patel; and the Labour backbencher Stella Creasy, according to Channel 4 News. Many of the images have been online for several years and attracted hundreds of thousands of views. While some are crude Photoshops featuring the politician's head imposed on to another person's naked body, other images appears to be more complicated deepfakes that have been created using artificial intelligence technology. Some of the politicians targeted have now contacted the police.


Nearly 4,000 celebrities found to be victims of deepfake pornography

The Guardian

More than 250 British celebrities are among the thousands of famous people who are victims of deepfake pornography, an investigation has found. A Channel 4 News analysis of the five most visited deepfake websites found almost 4,000 famous individuals were listed, of whom 255 were British. They include female actors, TV stars, musicians and YouTubers, who have not been named, whose faces were superimposed on to pornographic material using artificial intelligence. The investigation found that the five sites received 100m views in the space of three months. The Channel 4 News presenter Cathy Newman, who was found to be among the victims, said: "It feels like a violation. It just feels really sinister that someone out there who's put this together, I can't see them, and they can see this kind of imaginary version of me, this fake version of me."


Could artificial intelligence be racist? – Channel 4 News

#artificialintelligence

It is the front line of technology and causing marvel and alarm every day. Artificial Intelligence or AI may have extraordinary benefits in areas like health and education but when it's been deployed in areas like policing, it's accused of reinforcing social and racial prejudices rather than overcoming them. One artist and futurologist has been highlighting that in her new show.


Channel 4's Christmas message to be AI-generated and delivered by a robot

#artificialintelligence

Channel 4's alternative Christmas message will this year be generated entirely by artificial intelligence, the broadcaster has announced. The message will be delivered by Ameca, one of the world's most advanced robots. The broadcast, which will run after the King's annual Christmas message at 3pm, will see the robot speak about the highs and lows of 2022. During the address Ameca will also respond to questions about humans. She is due to say that human-kind should be "neither happy nor sad" about the past year and "take it as a learning opportunity, a chance to change the way we think about the world and a reminder to help those in need whenever we can".

England's BBC Channel 4 is going have an AI robot named Ameca provide the alternative Christmas message to King Charles' official royal remarks. A dystopian humanoid cyborg is set to give us the seasons' greetings this year on Channel 4. According to a report from Deadline, the AI robot, whose name is Ameca will be delivering alternate remarks to King Charles III's annual Royal Christmas message which will broadcast on its usual home on Channel 1. The robot was developed by Engineered Arts, a developing firm in Cornwall, England. The AI for Ameca is apparently set to deliver remarks which seek to calm the nation and the world at large, by reassuring us that 2022 was a "learning opportunity, a chance to change the way we think about the world and a reminder to help those in need whenever we can." This sounds suspiciously like some kind of terrifying cyborg threat, especially without hearing the accompanying Apple Maps voice delivering the statement, but Channel 4 assures us the robot supports the human race and loves a good laugh when times get tough.


From deep tech to high finance, why Leeds is luring companies north

#artificialintelligence

Move to Leeds and benefit from the jobs boom, says Melissa Berthelot, boss of medical appliance maker WarnerPatch, who relocated her business from London two years ago to benefit from a burgeoning deep tech industry in the West Yorkshire city. With skilled data science and software engineers in short supply across the south-east – and most other parts of the country – Leeds has proved a happy hunting ground for Berthelot, an engineer turned chief executive who used the first lockdown to make the jump north. Deep tech refers to sectors including artificial intelligence, robotics and bio-technologies. Its Blade Runner-like image may seem worlds away from the Emmerdale village tour on offer just west of town, but Leeds is managing to straddle old and new as it jumps up the UK rankings for job creation and productivity. The city has gained a reputation for developing the skilled staff and financial muscle needed to fund startups and innovation, especially in healthcare, but also in the city's more traditional areas of expertise – financial and legal services, manufacturing and retail.


What are deepfakes and why are they a concern?

#artificialintelligence

Things do not appear as they seem on this year's Channel 4 alternative Christmas message. The broadcaster has decided to raise awareness of deepfake technology for 2020, showing a false depiction of the Queen. So what are deepfakes and why are they of concern? Deepfakes use ever-improving artificial intelligence and machine learning, allowing people to combine and superimpose existing images and videos of a person to make it look like they have said something they have not. While these can often be used as humour, they are also open to abuse by those aiming to deceive others, particularly in politics.
