An AI video based on a famous religious artifact has revealed what Christ may have looked like. The Shroud of Turin is an ancient cloth which many Christians believe was used to wrap Jesus' mutilated body after he died on the cross. Photos of the cloth were fed into Midjourney, an AI image generator, which then produced a lifelike image and video of Christ blinking, smiling and praying as he may have once did before the crucifixion around 33AD. The clip was posted on X, where users have called being touted as'the true face of Jesus.' However, others have pointed out that the technology made Jesus appear white when he would have been Middle Eastern with a darker complexion.

So was 2022 the year that advancements in artificial intelligence made the world a much scarier place, or does it just feel that way? Put another way, did I write this introduction, or did a chat bot? Brian Christian is author of the bestselling book "The Alignment Problem," and he's here to help us look back and forward at the impact AI is having on our lives. Good to have you here. SHAPIRO: Well, in addition to everything we just heard about, this was also the year that a piece of art generated by AI won a prize at the Colorado State Fair.

We propose E-C2ST, a classifier two-sample test for high-dimensional data based on E-values. Compared to $p$-values-based tests, tests with E-values have finite sample guarantees for the type I error. E-C2ST combines ideas from existing work on split likelihood ratio tests and predictive independence testing. The resulting E-values incorporate information about the alternative hypothesis. We demonstrate the utility of E-C2ST on simulated and real-life data. In all experiments, we observe that when going from small to large sample sizes, as expected, E-C2ST starts with lower power compared to other methods but eventually converges towards one. Simultaneously, E-C2ST's type I error stays substantially below the chosen significance level, which is not always the case for the baseline methods. Finally, we use an MRI dataset to demonstrate that multiplying E-values from multiple independently conducted studies leads to a combined E-value that retains the finite sample type I error guarantees while increasing the power.

In a recent Living in the Solutionpodcast with otolaryngologist and broadcaster Elaina George at Liberty Talk radio, Wesley J. Smith, lawyer and host of the Humanize podcast at Discovery Institute's Center on Human Exceptionalism tackled the question of "Can You be a Christian and Believe in Transhumanism?" (June 4, 2022) Transhumanism or H, as it is sometimes called, is a movement to create immortality through new biotechnology or merger with artificial intelligence (AI). In the first portion of the podcast, which we covered on Sunday, June 12, they talked about the way being a human, a computer, or an animal is viewed by transhumanists as all just a choice now, thanks to new technology. In the second, they looked at the religious elements in transhumanism. In this third and final segment, they discuss the difference in values between Christianity and transhumanism. A partial transcript and notes follow.

This book is intended to support data scientists and developers so they can quickly enter the area of text analytics and natural language processing. Thus, we put the focus on developing practical solutions that can serve as blueprints in your daily business. A blueprint, in our definition, is a best-practice solution for a common problem. It is a template that you can easily copy and adapt for reuse. For these blueprints we use production-ready Python frameworks for data analysis, natural language processing, and machine learning.

In artificial intelligence (AI), the "alignment problem" refers to the challenges caused by the fact that machines simply do not have the same values as us. In fact, when it comes to values, then at a fundamental level, machines don't really get much more sophisticated than understanding that 1 is different from 0. As a society, we are now at a point where we are starting to allow machines to make decisions for us. So how can we expect them to understand that, for example, they should do this in a way that doesn't involve prejudice towards people of a certain race, gender, or sexuality? Or that the pursuit of speed, or efficiency, or profit, has to be done in a way that respects the ultimate sanctity of human life? Theoretically, if you tell a self-driving car to navigate from point A to point B, it could just smash its way to its destination, regardless of the cars, pedestrians, or buildings it destroys on its way.

These are some of the highlights from the Day 1 of the Age of AI Conference, held on January 31 and February 1, 2018, at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. The Conference owes its origins in the San Francisco Artificial Intelligence meetup that Emil Mikhailov started for the interested ones to learn, network and share. The community now boasts of 4,700 members and has previously hosted heavyweights like Andrew Ng and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The Regency Ballroom boasts good location and acoustics. The best part was the technical focus of the Conference, well punctuated with some'global minima' but thought-provokingtouches.I will strive to do some justice to the rich technical content.
