There was something strange about her voice, they thought. It was not unfamiliar but, after a while, it started to go all over the place. Science presenter Liz Bonnin's accent, as regular BBC viewers know, is Irish. But this voice message, ostensibly granting permission to use her likeness in an ad campaign, seemed to place her on the other side of the world. The message, it turns out, was a fake – AI-generated to mimic Bonnin's voice.

Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI has introduced the ability to turn off chat history in its popular chatbot ChatGPT.

It's already pretty easy to ask Google Assistant to forget what you just said, or to forget all your conversations for the day. Soon, though, there will be an easy way to keep the Assistant from remembering what you said in the first place. Google just announced that Guest mode is coming to Nest speakers and other Google Assistant-enabled devices in the "coming weeks." You'll be able to activate Guest mode by giving the Assistant a voice command (Google didn't reveal what the exact command is yet), and while Guest mode is on, Google Assistant won't remember anything you say. A second command will disable Guest mode, at which point the Assistant will resume saving your interactions with it.

CUJO AI is using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for its new online privacy and tracking platform, which is called Incognito. CUJO AI offers "digital life protection" through its AI solutions that are in use by network service providers and their customers. CUJO AI provides network, mobile and public Wi-Fi operators with a full-stack set of cloud and edge software that captures, processes, curates and acts on device-level network data. With Incognito, CUJO AI uses its AI engine, ML analysis and real-time traffic classification to help broadband users and service providers evaluate privacy threats in the data flows and then block elements to provide privacy protection. Incognito uses machine learning to analyze website requests and upstream responses, looking for third-party trackers such as cookies, browser fingerprinting techniques and tracking ads.

El Segundo, CA (February 25, 2020) – CUJO AI, the global leader in the development and application of artificial intelligence to improve the security, control and privacy of connected devices, today announced the launch of Incognito, an AI-powered privacy and tracking protection solution. The CUJO AI Incognito solution will enable users to take control of their private information by automatically blocking tracking software that profiles them on the Internet. CUJO AI Incognito leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) analysis, and real-time traffic classification to evaluate privacy threats in the data flow and then block elements of it to provide the best possible privacy protection.

Incognito blocks these trackers in the broadband gateway and minimizes the personal information disclosed.

David Eagleman is one of those rare writers who's as likable in person as he is in his books. His 20-year career as a neuroscientist has been unusual; my personal introduction to his work was his 2010 book Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives, which combined the bite-sized brilliance of Calvino's Invisible Cities with the wry pathos of Borges. Eagleman was recently the writer and presenter of The Brain, a six-part PBS television series that beautifully illuminates "the most complex object we've discovered in the universe." Eagleman holds joint appointments in the Departments of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Along with Sum, his books include The Brain: The Story of You (2015) and Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain (2012).
