Paris cybercrime unit searches X office; Musk summoned
Elon Musk attends the 56th annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 22. PARIS - French police raided the offices of Elon Musk's social media network X on Tuesday, and prosecutors ordered the tech billionaire to face questions in a widening investigation, amid growing scrutiny of the platform by authorities across Europe. The raid by the Paris prosecutor's cybercrime unit and Musk's summoning -- which could further increase tensions between Europe and the U.S. over Big Tech and free speech -- are linked to a yearlong investigation into suspected abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction by X or its executives. Britain's privacy watchdog, meanwhile, also kicked off a formal investigation into Musk's artificial-intelligence chatbot Grok over the processing of personal data and its potential to produce harmful sexual images and video content.

Hate speech-detecting AIs easily fooled by humans: Study
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems meant to screen out online hate speech can be easily duped by humans, a study has found. Hateful text and comments are an ever-increasing problem in online environments, yet addressing the rampant issue relies on being able to identify toxic content. Researchers from Aalto University in Finland have discovered weaknesses in many machine learning detectors currently used to recognise and keep hate speech at bay. Many popular social media and online platforms use hate speech detectors. However, bad grammar and awkward spelling – intentional or not – might make toxic social media comments harder for AI detectors to spot.

RealDoll Might Release a Smart Sex Doll in 2017 -- And It Could "Love" You Back
Sex dolls are becoming much more than silicone orifices. Soon, they're going to talk and learn and maybe even walk around. In a Reddit AMA on Tuesday, RealDoll CEO Matt McMullen revealed some of the company's future plans for its sex dolls -- and the future of intimacy involves a lot of plastic, metal and your smartphone. In response to someone asking McMullen who he sees as the company's direct competition, he said the "human female." This might explain why RealDoll is trying to bring its products to "life."
