ModelScope also supports versioning ofdatasets, allowing users totrack changes overtime and ensure reproducibility intheir experiments. Additionally, the platform provides tools for data preprocessing, visualization, and analysis, helping users to efficiently prepare their data for model training and evaluation.


AI mediation tool may help reduce culture war rifts, say researchers

The Guardian

Artificial intelligence could help reduce some of the most contentious culture war divisions through a mediation process, researchers claim. Experts say a system that can create group statements that reflect majority and minority views is able to help people find common ground. Prof Chris Summerfield, a co-author of the research from the University of Oxford, who worked at Google DeepMind at the time the study was conducted, said the AI tool could have multiple purposes. "What I would like to see it used for is to give political leaders in the UK a better sense of what people in the UK really think," he said, noting surveys gave only limited insights, while forums known as citizens' assemblies were often costly, logistically challenging and restricted in size. Writing in the journal Science, Summerfield and colleagues from Google DeepMind report how they built the "Habermas Machine" – an AI system named after the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. The system works by taking written views of individuals within a group and using them to generate a set of group statements designed to be acceptable to all.


Argentina will use AI to 'predict future crimes' but experts worry for citizens' rights

The Guardian

Argentina's security forces have announced plans to use artificial intelligence to "predict future crimes" in a move experts have warned could threaten citizens' rights. The country's far-right president Javier Milei this week created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit, which the legislation says will use "machine-learning algorithms to analyse historical crime data to predict future crimes". It is also expected to deploy facial recognition software to identify "wanted persons", patrol social media, and analyse real-time security camera footage to detect suspicious activities. While the ministry of security has said the new unit will help to "detect potential threats, identify movements of criminal groups or anticipate disturbances", the Minority Report-esque resolution has sent alarm bells ringing among human rights organisations. Experts fear that certain groups of society could be overly scrutinised by the technology, and have also raised concerns over who – and how many security forces – will be able to access the information.


China's thought police may already be at work in America

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., on his bill that would give the Biden administration greater power to regulate the Chinese-owned company. Advances in neuroscience, engineering and artificial intelligence have brought us a world of greater brain transparency. With consumer brain wearables coming of age, we can now monitor brain activity as easily as we track heart rate, blood oxygen levels and steps taken in a day; which will revolutionize our relationship with technology and understanding of ourselves and each other. Consumer brain wearables can empower us to take charge of our mental health and wellbeing, but they also threaten our last bastion of freedom. Consumer brain wearables are devices with brain sensors embedded into everyday technology like ear buds, headphones and watches that can detect brain activity to give us insight into our own minds.


9 More Cool Things From CES 2023: Health Tech, Headphones, TVs

WIRED

Citizen has a new watch, but not the kind of watch you might be thinking about. The CZ Smart is a Wear 3 smartwatch, meaning it's running the latest wearable operating system from Google. You can see and respond to your notifications, control your smart home devices, and so on, but Citizen is trying to make its own mark in the smartwatch space with an app that aims to help you stay at your best the whole day. The YouQ app is based on research from Nasa and utilizes IBM's Watson machine intelligence platform to monitor your habits over a period of seven to 10 days. It uses the sensors on the watch to check your sleep and heart rate to establish some baseline measurements. After that, you'll be able to see the times of the day where you seem to be the most productive.


Making AI Fair, and How to Use It

Fees are charged by year of entry to the College and not year of study. Except where otherwise indicated, the fees for students on courses lasting more than one year will increase annually by an amount linked to inflation, including for part-time students on modular programmes. The measure of inflation used will be the Retail Price Index (RPI) value in the April of the calendar year in which the academic session starts e.g. the RPI value in April 2022 will apply to fees for the academic year 2022-2023. Whether you pay the Home fee depends on your fee status. Your fee status is assessed based on UK Government legislation and includes things like where you live and your nationality or residency status.

As nations around the world scramble to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, straining medical resources and overburdening doctors, governments are turning to technology to help fight back the outbreak. Multiple Asian governments have used smartphone apps to track data of users who have tested positive for COVID-19. In South Korea, a compulsory app enforces self-isolation for those ordered to maintain it. Taiwan and Singapore are also using smartphone apps to enforce quarantines via "electronic fences" that alert authorities when someone moves out of quarantine.


Ireland needs a national strategy for artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

The cancer-screening controversy resulting from the CervicalCheck debacle has devastated lives. It has also badly damaged the reputation of some health service organisations and their leadership. Over the last 10 years, some three million tests have been performed on 1.8 million women in Ireland. About 280,000 women per year now undergo the test. It transpires that all these Irish smear slides were manually individually examined.
