'The Brutalist' producer defends Oscar-winning movie's use of artificial intelligence after controversy
'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' star Justin Theroux tells Fox News Digital his thoughts on artificial intelligence and how it will impact future Hollywood films. A producer for the Oscar-winning film, "The Brutalist," is defending the production's use of artificial intelligence. D.J. Gugenheim, one of several producers involved in the film, spoke with Deadline at the Oscars on Sunday night, saying the technology is simply a tool. "If you're in post [-production] on a film, there's so many tools that you use, whether it's lighting, sound, and these are all versions of functions of numbers," he told the outlet. "What's important about how we're making a film is that we're trusting the actors and the creatives and the talent to make a film. So, if no one is losing a job, and you're making the best version of the product, that's when you're using a tool."

Deictic Codes, Demonstratives, and Reference: A Step Toward Solving the Grounding Problem
Raftopoulos, Athanassios, Müller, Vincent C.
In this paper we address the issue of grounding for experiential concepts. Given that perceptual demonstratives are a basic form of such concepts, we examine ways of fixing the referents of such demonstratives. To avoid 'encodingism', that is, relating representations to representations, we postulate that the process of reference fixing must be bottom-up and nonconceptual, so that it can break the circle of conceptual content and touch the world. For that purpose, an appropriate causal relation between representations and the world is needed. We claim that this relation is provided by spatial and object-centered attention that leads to the formation of object files through the function of deictic acts. This entire causal process takes place at a pre-conceptual level, meeting the requirement for a solution to the grounding problem. Finally we claim that our account captures fundamental insights in Putnam's and Kripke's work on "new" reference.

Sora, OpenAI's video generator, has hit the UK. It's obvious why creatives are worried
If you want to know why Tyler Perry put an 800m ( 635m) expansion of his studio complex on hold, type "two people in a living room in the mountains" into OpenAI's video generation tool. The result from artificial intelligence-powered Sora, which was released in the UK and Europe on Friday, indicates why the US TV and film mogul paused his plans. Perry said last year after seeing previews of Sora that if he wanted to produce that mountain shot, he may not need to build sets on location or on his lot. "I can sit in an office and do this with a computer, which is shocking to me," he said. The result from a simple text prompt is only five seconds long – you can go to up to 20 seconds and also stitch together much longer videos from the tool – and the "actors" display telltale problems with their hands (a common problem with AI tools).

Hitting the Books: Why a Dartmouth professor coined the term 'artificial intelligence'
The term "artificial intelligence," in 1955, was an aspiration rather than a commitment to one method. AI, in this broad sense, involved both discovering what comprises human intelligence by attempting to create machine intelligence as well as a less philosophically fraught effort simply to get computers to perform difficult activities a human might attempt. Only a few of these aspirations fueled the efforts that, in current usage, became synonymous with artificial intelligence: the idea that machines can learn from data. Among computer scientists, learning from data would be de-emphasized for generations. Most of the first half century of artificial intelligence focused on combining logic with knowledge hard-coded into machines.
AI has Keanu Reeves, Harrison Ford and Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes at odds over its use
Log Off Movement CEO Emma Lembke and teacher Matt Miles discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on kids on'The Story.' In the past few years, artificial intelligence has trickled into the entertainment industry, distinguishing itself in films, television and music. Despite its rapid advancements, AI remains an enigma to many, with minimal legislation to regulate the technology. In recent days, it's been a part of the conversation surrounding Hollywood's writer's strike, the first strike in 15 years. Given the unlimited avenues of its use, actors and musicians are beginning to speak out on the use of artificial intelligence in conjunction with their name and likeness.

Nvidia's CUDA 12 Is Here to Bring out the Animal in GPUs - The New Stack
Programmers will finally be able to harness the full computing power of Nvidia's latest GPUs, code-named Hopper, with new software tools released by the company on Monday. Nvidia is now shipping its CUDA 12 programming tools, which are the driving force behind the company's future in artificial intelligence and graphics. "CUDA in some ways is an interface to the GPU. But it is an interface which is a programming model, a whole set of tools, and a large array of libraries," said Stephen Jones, CUDA architect at Nvidia, in an exclusive interview with The New Stack. CUDA provides the core foundation of communicating with the GPU.

'I lie in the bath, imagining that I am wandering the Rialto in Venice': my obsession with Duolingo
This morning, before checking in on my young son or making a coffee, I opened the Duolingo app on my phone and translated "They love smelling meat" into Italian. I've been starting my days like this for a few months now: wake up, wash face, grapple with the gerund. I usually spend between 10 and 20 minutes on it while the kettle boils or I load CBeebies or write some emails. Duolingo is a language learning app and pretty simple to use. After you've chosen which language you want to learn, you are presented with about 100 skill-sets divided by scenario or grammar (grocery shopping, the future tense and so on).

New Method Exposes How Artificial Intelligence Works
The new approach allows scientists to better understand neural network behavior. Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have developed a novel method for comparing neural networks that looks into the "black box" of artificial intelligence to help researchers comprehend neural network behavior. Neural networks identify patterns in datasets and are utilized in applications as diverse as virtual assistants, facial recognition systems, and self-driving vehicles. "The artificial intelligence research community doesn't necessarily have a complete understanding of what neural networks are doing; they give us good results, but we don't know how or why," said Haydn Jones, a researcher in the Advanced Research in Cyber Systems group at Los Alamos. "Our new method does a better job of comparing neural networks, which is a crucial step toward better understanding the mathematics behind AI." Researchers at Los Alamos are looking at new ways to compare neural networks.
James Earl Jones done as Darth Vader, but his voice will live on because of AI
"Luke, I am your father" are five of the most famous words ever spoken on screen. When Darth Vader shattered Luke Skywalker's world in "The Empire Strikes Back," he sent shivers down the spines of audiences everywhere--in large part because of actor James Earl Jones' famous baritone. Now, Jones, 91, has announced he is hanging up the mask and retiring as the voice of one of the most infamous cinematic villains. But don't despair: Although Jones will no longer record new lines for Star Wars projects, the character--and Jones' voice--will live on thanks to artificial intelligence. As first reported by Vanity Fair, Respeecher, a Ukrainian voice synthesis company, will use a combination of archival recordings, voice acting and AI technology to continue bringing Darth Vader to the screen.
