The Tribeca Film Festival will debut a bunch of short films made by AI
The Tribeca Film Festival will debut five short films made by AI, as detailed by The Hollywood Reporter. The shorts will use OpenAI's Sora model, which transforms text inputs into create video clips. This is the first time this type of technology will take center stage at the long-running film festival. "Tribeca is rooted in the foundational belief that storytelling inspires change. Humans need stories to thrive and make sense of our wonderful and broken world," said co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises Jane Rosenthal.

Ashley Judd says grief-associated clumsiness led to her fracturing her leg after death of mother
Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Ashley Judd on Wednesday reportedly said grief-associated clumsiness led to her fracturing her leg earlier this year after the death of her mother. The "Double Jeopardy" actress, 54, said during a conversation series in association with UCLA's Friends of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior that the "freak accident" fractured her femoral condyle near the knee last summer just months after her mom Naomi Judd, 76, died by suicide, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Judd has said she was the one who found her mother on April 30 at the country music star's Tennessee home.

Sometimes We Feel More Comfortable Talking To A Robot
We spend a lot of time talking to Alexa and Siri. Imagine if such artificial personalities were put inside a cute, adorable robot. That's what Alexander Reben has done. The artist created what he saw as the perfect interview machine to see how much he could get people to reveal to the robot. Reben's experiments with human robot interactions began when he was working on his Ph.D. in robotics at MIT.

From technology to tear-jerkers to TV, what we learned at the Tribeca Film Festival
Dave Wakeling of the English Beat performs at the Tribeca Film Festival. Dave Wakeling of the English Beat performs at the Tribeca Film Festival. One of the great advantages of a gathering like the Tribeca Film Festival is the sheer variety of what's on offer -- not just the usual array of movie screenings, but television and technology programming, music performances, gaming sessions and plenty of talks with well-known personalities. From one vantage, of course, that can seem like chaos. And granted, the fest's many niches can make for an overwhelming, at times muddying affair.

Virtual Reality, Sex And Chocolate Cake: Desire In A Post-Virtual World
This post was cowritten with Moran Cerf, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. In a recent essay (see Post-Virtual World), we explored two technologies that will fundamentally change our experience: invisible interfaces and intelligence-to-intelligence (i2i) communications. Invisible interfaces require no obvious interface--no keystrokes, voice or gestures-- for our minds to communicate with computational systems, enabling data to be uploaded directly to our brains. Invisible interfaces thus allow for i2i capabilities, direct communication between humans and/or Artificial Intelligences, historically known as telepathy. Elon Musk's Neuralink and Bryan Johnson's Kernel, both pursuing versions of invisible interfaces, reflect the understanding that recent neuroscience research places these capabilities within reach.
'AlphaGo' Documentary Will Show How Google DeepMind Beat a Human
For a brief moment last spring, the world was looking at artificial intelligence because it beat the world champion at Go, the ancient game that was long thought to be unplayable by A.I. because it requires human-like contextual thinking to win. On Thursday, news of a documentary about that moment was announced and will show at New York's Tribeca Film Festival at the end of April. The film is directed by Greg Kohs and follows the story of how the Google DeepMind team played through the go tournament and beat Lee Sedol -- the world's best go player who had dominated the international field for the last decade. With simple rules but a near-infinite number of possible outcomes, the ancient Chinese board game go has long been considered the holy grail of artificial intelligence. Director Greg Kohs' absorbing documentary chronicles Google's DeepMind team as it takes on one of the world's top go players in a weeklong tournament, pitting man against machine in a competition that reveals as much about the workings of the human mind as it does the future of A.I. Go sounds like a simple game -- two players place different colored stones on a checkered board, trying to capture their opponent's stones by surrounding them with nine of their own.
