Dark circles, extra wrinkles and sagging skin: Terrifying images reveal what can happen to your face if you don't get 7 hours of sleep a night

Daily Mail - Science & tech

We're all regularly reminded that we should be getting at least seven hours of sleep every night. But whether it's laying awake with stress or being kept up by the children, in reality, many Britons get significantly less than this. Now, experts have warned that your face could be paying the price. Sleep tech firm Simba has used AI to reveal what can happen to your face if you don't get enough sleep. From dark circles to extra wrinkles, the images may serve as a reminder of the importance of getting a decent kip.


Google's AI ambassador walks a fine line between hype and doom

Washington Post - Technology News

He wrote his thesis on using AI to manage the input of different sensors for a vehicle, which helped get him a visiting scientist position at NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs. There, he contributed to the Pathfinder mission to land the Sojourner rover on Mars. Next, he and his partner, the British-Nigerian novelist Sarah Ladipo Manyika, moved to Silicon Valley, where he became a consultant for McKinsey and had a front-row seat to the dot-com bubble and subsequent crash. He wrote extensively on how tech breakthroughs impacted the real world, publishing a book in 2011 about how the massive amount of data generated by the internet would become critical to business.


AI Act: EU Parliament walking fine line on banned practices – EURACTIV.com

#artificialintelligence

Members of the European Parliament closed several critical parts of the AI regulation at a political meeting on Thursday (13 April), but the prohibited uses of AI could potentially divide the house. The AI Act is a landmark legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm, and while MEPs are approaching a political deal on the file with a key committee vote scheduled for 26 April, the plenary adoption will be challenging. The most politically sensitive part discussed during the political meeting with all the groups on Thursday was prohibited practices, applications deemed to pose an unacceptable risk. High-risk categorisation, enforcement and governance are largely settled. EU lawmakers in the leading European Parliament committees are voting on the political agreement on the AI Act on 26 April, with many questions being settled but a few critical issues still open. The German liberals proposed introducing a provision banning "the use of an AI system for the general monitoring, detection and interpretation of private content in interpersonal communication services, including all measures that would undermine end-to-end encryption."


ChatGPT and Hollywood: AI Anxiety Is Showing – The Hollywood Reporter

#artificialintelligence

If artificial intelligence evangelists' predictions pan out, generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are set to transform Hollywood by developing and writing scripts for the next hit TV show, "diversifying" casts with AI-generated actors and generating imagery across multiple mediums, practically instantly, for a fraction of the cost of a real, human artist. But how long will it take for the vision to meet reality, and can a select group of companies -- similar to the rise of Facebook and social media -- be trusted to herald the way? Driving much of the current conversation around AI innovation has been OpenAI, an AI research company with both non-profit and for-profit arms. Just four months after the formal launch of OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, industry titans like Bill Gates were ready to hail artificial intelligence as the most revolutionary technology of our time since the advent of cell phones and the internet. Major tech companies like Google and Microsoft have invested hundreds of millions into AI companies, including OpenAI, as executives look to the technology to steward their companies into the future amid an economic downturn that has particularly hit digital native companies hard.

Council Post: Considering The Fine Line Between AI Democracy And Autocracy

#artificialintelligence

Nir Kaldero is chief AI officer at NEORIS and Adjunct Executive for AI at CEMEX. The world is in constant high-speed transition. We have entered a period in which the battles of good and evil, light and dark, democracy and authoritarianism are at high stake and being defined. Although it might sound like a John le Carré novel, this is the world we are living in. Technology and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the ideology that will dominate these fields, are also being shaped in real time, even if many of us are unaware of the battles being fought behind our computer screens and closed doors.


Split-second decisions: Navigating the fine line between man and machine

Today's self-driving car isn't exactly autonomous – the driver has to be able to take over in a pinch, and therein lies the roadblock researchers are trying to overcome. Automated cars are hurtling towards us at breakneck speed, with all-electric Teslas already running limited autopilot systems on roads worldwide and Google trialling its own autonomous pod cars. However, before we can reply to emails while being driven to work, we have to have a foolproof way to determine when drivers can safely take control and when it should be left to the car. 'Even in a limited number of tests, we have found that humans are not always performing as required,' explained Dr Riender Happee, from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, who is coordinating the EU-funded HFAuto project to examine the problem and potential solutions. 'We are close to concluding that the technology always has to be ready to resolve the situation if the driver doesn't take back control.'
