Dangers of oversharing with AI tools
Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier has the latest on regulatory uncertainty amid artificial intelligence development on "Special Report." Have you ever stopped to think about how much your chatbot knows about you? Over the years, tools like ChatGPT have become incredibly adept at learning your preferences, habits and even some of your deepest secrets. But while this can make them seem more helpful and personalized, it also raises some serious privacy concerns. As much as you learn from these AI tools, they learn just as much about you.
TechScape: Elon Musk is stumping hard for Donald Trump
Thank you for joining me. Elon Musk is stumping hard for Donald Trump. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has funded a pro-Trump political action committee with tens of millions of dollars and planned a packed campaign schedule to boost the former president in Pennsylvania. He speaks to Trump multiple times per week and has urged other billionaires to endorse the Republican candidate en masse in private gatherings, according to the New York Times. Taken together, Musk's actions amount to something unprecedented in modern times โ a man who is both the richest in the world and owner of an influential means of mass communication throwing all his weight behind a political candidate.

AI, Decentralization And The Captcha Arms Race -- Hive
This week, the 2019 remake of horror movie "Child's Play" is trending on Netflix. Testament to the advances in artificial intelligence since the original movie was made in 1988, we now see the psychotic Chucky doll, re-imagined, inline with modern technology. Chucky can now control household appliances, connect to the internet, record, stream, and playback what he hears and sees, and most importantly, he can learn, and adapt to his environment. The original Chucky was far fetched back in 1988. Less than 30 years later, the prospect of rogue AI is increasingly believable.
This store with nothing for sale wants to help you take control of your online privacy
There's a lot of high-brow, abstract talk about privacy and personal data. SEE ALSO: Moscow's facial recognition CCTV network is the biggest example of surveillance society yet But when it comes to our personal experience with it, all we usually get is a long, boring, overlooked list of conditions that nobody reads before signing up to Facebook or other social media giants. Do we truly understand what part of our digital footprint is owned by these companies? That's why the Glass Room, which just opened in central London, is important. At first sight, it's just another all-white, sleek, shiny, minimalist pop-up tech store, with massive windows overlooking central London and interactive handsets methodically placed in tactical positions.
7 Scary Things That Can Happen If You Neglect Your Kid's Online Privacy
Everyone has the right to privacy, especially in their own home. But home assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Mattel Aristotle are designed to butt their noses into conversations. These devices collect โ and store โ untold amounts of data. It's unclear what the companies do with the extraneous "noise" they pick up. And if it's subpoenaed, they might have to hand it over. Say your kid jokes about terrorism or something else illegal; if there's an investigation into those activities, the companies might have to cough up the transcripts.
AI, self-driving cars and cyberwar โ the tech trends to watch for in 2017
In some ways, tech in 2017 will be a steady progression from what came before it. Time marches on, and so too does the advance of technology. In other ways, though, it will be just as upended as the rest of the world by the unprecedented disruption that 2016 has left in its wake. The artificial intelligence revolution is well and truly upon us, but so far, the biggest players are venerable Silicon Valley titans such as Google, Amazon and Apple. That's partially because they have the money to hire teams full of PhDs at seven-figure salaries, but it's also because they have the data.
Machine learning has a privacy problem
Despite all of its benefits, artificial intelligence is introducing some controversial issues, and it's not all about stealing our jobs. Thanks to machine learning algorithms, assets that were previously in our sole possession are no longer private and can be accessed and used by anyone who has the nerves to do a little search and install the right applications. Given the recent developments in machine learning technology, along with the ubiquity of the web and the fact that your data is forever, it is fair to say that soon, privacy as we knew it before will no longer exist. Here are just some of the instances of how machine learning is invading user privacy. The recent rollout of the facial recognition app FindFace is a reminder of just how dangerous a seemingly harmless technology can become when offered at a public level with no implemented safeguards. Facial recognition technology is nothing new and is being widely used by companies such as Facebook and Google to offer services to their customers.
