The Constitution shouldn't be rewritten for every new communications technology. The Supreme Court reaffirmed this long-standing principle during its most recent term in applying the 1st Amendment to social media. The late Justice Antonin Scalia articulated it persuasively in 2011, noting that "whatever the challenges of applying the Constitution to ever-advancing technology, the basic principles of freedom of speech and the press … do not vary." These principles should be front of mind for congressional Republicans and David Sacks, Trump's recently chosen artificial intelligence czar, as they make policy on that emerging technology. The 1st Amendment standards that apply to older communications technologies must also apply to artificial intelligence, particularly as it stands to play an increasingly significant role in human expression and learning.

Kurdish libraries have many historical publications that were printed back in the early days when printing devices were brought to Kurdistan. Having a good Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to help process these publications and contribute to the Kurdish languages resources which is crucial as Kurdish is considered a low-resource language. Current OCR systems are unable to extract text from historical documents as they have many issues, including being damaged, very fragile, having many marks left on them, and often written in non-standard fonts and more. This is a massive obstacle in processing these documents as currently processing them requires manual typing which is very time-consuming. In this study, we adopt an open-source OCR framework by Google, Tesseract version 5.0, that has been used to extract text for various languages. Currently, there is no public dataset, and we developed our own by collecting historical documents from Zheen Center for Documentation and Research, which were printed before 1950 and resulted in a dataset of 1233 images of lines with transcription of each. Then we used the Arabic model as our base model and trained the model using the dataset. We used different methods to evaluate our model, Tesseracts built-in evaluator lstmeval indicated a Character Error Rate (CER) of 0.755%. Additionally, Ocreval demonstrated an average character accuracy of 84.02%. Finally, we developed a web application to provide an easy- to-use interface for end-users, allowing them to interact with the model by inputting an image of a page and extracting the text. Having an extensive dataset is crucial to develop OCR systems with reasonable accuracy, as currently, no public datasets are available for historical Kurdish documents; this posed a significant challenge in our work. Additionally, the unaligned spaces between characters and words proved another challenge with our work.

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson walked the Pre-Grammy GALA red carpet discussing what they believe is the success to a great relationship, after being married for 34 years. Tom Hanks is warning fans about a potential AI-generated scam. The "Forrest Gump" actor says his name and likeness are being used without his consent in a dental promotion, and that users should "beware." I have nothing to do with it," he wrote, signing his name in a post on Instagram. Tom Hanks condemned a dental promotion using his name and likeness to promote their plan. A representative for Hanks did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment. It is unclear where the image originated. Hanks recently gave his own two cents on artificial intelligence – noting that its use in the industry is nothing new but has "always been" lingering. "The first time we did a movie that had a huge amount of our own data locked in a computer, literally what we looked like, was a movie called'The Polar Express,'" Hanks said on "The Adam Buxton Podcast" about his 2004 animated film that used the technology. Film preparation for "The Polar Express" included motion capture. "And we saw this coming.

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson walked the Pre-Grammy GALA red carpet and discussed what they believe is the success to a great relationship after being married for 34 years. Hollywood heavy-hitter Tom Hanks is weighing in on the use of artificial intelligence in films, especially as he grows older and his name and likeness are still coveted. The "A Man Called Otto" actor gave his opinion on AI – noting that its use in the industry is nothing new and has rather "always been" lingering. "The first time we did a movie that had a huge amount of our own data locked in a computer, literally what we looked like, was a movie called'The Polar Express,'" Hanks said on "The Adam Buxton Podcast" about his 2004 animated film. "And we saw this coming. We saw that there was going to be this ability to take 0s and 1s inside a computer and turn it into a face and a character. Now, that is only grown a billion-fold since then, and we see it everywhere. And I can tell you that there is discussions going on in all of the guilds, all of the agencies and all of legal firms in order to come up with the legal ramifications of my face and my voice – and everybody else's – being our intellectual property," he added.

Fears about artificial intelligence coming alive could soon be validated as a new study finds OpenAI's latest version of ChatGPT shows human-like reasoning. GPT-4, used to power Microsoft's Bing Chat feature, was prompted to'stack a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail in a stable manner.' The system arranged the items so the eggs would not break, detailing how each should be placed on the other - starting with the book and ending with the nail. It also commented on arranging the items so the eggs do not crack - something only humans could fully understand. Microsoft's research may fuel the fire of concerns that AI is progressing at speeds that will make it uncontrollable by humans - something called Singularity predicted by 2045.

Argenti also likened the advent of powerful generative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT to the invention of the printing press, and predicted the technology will transform how businesses store and organize institutional knowledge, according to the email. He also raised the question of whether A.I. could make rising inequality worse. Goldman Sachs declined to comment on Argenti's message. In the email, Argenti said that while others have said generative A.I. will be more impactful than the discovery of fire, the debut of the internet, or the move to cloud computing, he believed that a better analogy is the invention of the printing press, which had the effect of both democratizing access to knowledge as well as massively accelerating the codification of knowledge. Argenti said that while "efficiency gains are capturing a lot of the mindshare" he believed "LLMs are a breakthrough in knowledge more than they are in productivity."

Fox News contributor Douglas Murray joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss why Musk and other experts are calling for a halt to artificial intelligence systems for six months. In an open letter, tech experts and leaders in the industry called for a six-month pause on AI experiments, a move that Fox News contributor Douglas Murray believes shows a "deep concern" that is growing about the risks of artificial intelligence. The letter, which was signed by Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, reads, in part: "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society … and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care. Murray said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday that the request for a moratorium is extraordinary and is a sign that experts are worried. I INTERVIEWED CHATGPT AS IF IT WAS A HUMAN; HERE'S WHAT IT HAD TO SAY THAT GAVE ME CHILLS "The fact that there has now been this stressing that we could be in trouble.

This is the text about AI Art you probably don't want to read, but need to. I will not mince words, this will be grim if you are anxious about AI, but bear with me. I'm writing this mostly out of concern for my friends, followers and industry peers, but if you randomly stumbled upon it, feel free to keep reading. In Future 1 AI will continue improving and transform commercial visual arts into a vastly different domain. Digital illustration as we know it today will become like caligraphy, an old craft with no economic viability at a large scale.

The job was remarkably analog: a bundle of newspapers would be dropped off at my house, I would wrap them in rubber-bands (or plastic bags if it were raining), load them up in a canvas sack, and set off on my bike; once a month my parents would drive me around to collect payment. Little did I appreciate just how essential my role writ large was to the profitability of newspapers generally. Newspapers liked to think that they made money because people relied on them for news, furnished by their fearless reporters and hard-working editors; not only did people pay newspapers directly, but advertisers were also delighted to pay for the privilege of having their products placed next to the journalists' peerless prose. The Internet revealed the fatal flaw in this worldview: what newspapers provided was distribution thanks to infrastructure like printing presses and yours truly. Once the Internet reduced distribution costs to zero, three truths emerged: first, that "news", once published, retained no economic value.

AI has tremendous potential for benefiting humanity in every area of how we live and work. While most people realize this fact, their hopes for AI also come with a note of caution. A recent survey reported that 77% of Americans expressed that AI would have a "very positive" or "mostly positive" impact on how people work and live in the next 10 years. Another public opinion poll reported that an overwhelming majority of Americans (82%) believed that AI should be carefully managed. With such conflicting viewpoints on AI, organizations will need to manage the quality of the AIs they build.
