Recently, an independent artist Kelly McKernan posted on her Instagram how she felt when she found out that she was one of the first 400 artists whose artwork was used to train AI. I'm credited (…) on the Wikipedia page for AI art as a "style prompt." I'm getting tagged in image prompts and met with indignation when I request my name removed. She continues that to her, much of this is unethical and feels violative. Current art students are discouraged from continuing to study; professors don't know what to tell them; emerging artists are feeling hopeless and giving up.

We are at the dawn of a new age and the implications of AI technology for humans are almost unimaginable. Welcome to The Age of AI. Robert Downey Jr. hosts a brand new YouTube Originals series - The Age of AI. Discover the most innovative and leading technologies that will change the world forever. Technology is moving faster than ever, and it's taking less time to be widely adopted.

With its paid Premium streaming service, YouTube has a steep climb to even compete against entrenched services like Netflix. First it has to get our attention, so for one of its most-anticipated series, Impulse, it came up with an interesting promotion. Google Assistant owners can access the first episode by saying "talk to Impulse." The AI device will give a brief sum-up of the show and ask for a password (it's "Henry" and a few variants). Once you do that, you'll get a link to the first unlisted episode on YouTube.
