Joe Biden has a secret weapon
US President Joe Biden on Monday signed an executive order to create “safe, secure, and trustworthy” development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). “We need to ensure that we are taking care of our children and our grandchildren in a way that’s safe, secure, and trustworthy,” he said. The order directs the US Department of Transportation to develop rules for AI.
Major attacks on the Microsoft cloud services have prompted it to change its software security
Microsoft has launched the Secure Future Initiative (SFI), which aims to “keep data safe” in the cloud. It plans to use automation and artificial intelligence to improve the security of its cloud services and cut time it takes to fix vulnerabilities, enable better security settings out of the box, and harden its infrastructure to protect against encryption keys falling into the wrong hands.
Biden wants US government programs to be tested to make sure they don’t harm citizens
The White House Office of Management and Budget has released its draft rules to increase government use of Artificial Intelligence. The draft rules would require testing and evaluation of algorithms to be done by people with no direct involvement in a system’s development and encourage external “red teaming” tests of generative AI models.
Biden has a big plan for artificial intelligence but it lacks bite
US Vice President Joe Biden has signed an executive order that will create a body to regulate artificial intelligence and climate science. The new agency will have the power to fine companies up to $1 million per day for violating its standards. The order will require companies to show they are safe before they’re allowed to use them.
Graphcore was the UK’s artificial intelligence champion
Google Executive Vice President of Hardware, Software, and Services Rick Osterloh revealed the first Pixel was launched in 2016 and was called ‘Pixel’. “At the first launch, I see a few individuals who were at the first launch seven years ago and they explained thatPixel is designed to bring together hardware and software with artificial intelligence at the centre,” he said.
Bing is worse than GOOGLE, and Apple could fix it, according to Nadella
Google CEO Satya Nadella, in a recent interview, said that search engines “are the organising layer of the internet” and added that they’re looking at artificial intelligence (AI) to “improve it”. He added that AI has the potential to shake up the market a bit but also believes it could further entrench Google’s dominance.
More than 1,600 researchers weighed in on artificial intelligence and science
A survey by Nature found that nearly 40% of the scientists who studied Artificial Intelligence said that they used it directly. Those who use AI in other fields tended to be more worried by a lack of skilled scientists and training resources. The survey also revealed that 28% of those who studied AI said that they used generative AI products every day or more than once a week.
Researchers need to tame artificial intelligence now that it will change science
The US National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force will be needed to build artificial intelligence (AI) tools for policy guidance. Advisers also need to be trained to avoid inappropriate over-reliance on AI systems, such as when drafting advice on emerging topics for which information is needed rapidly, researchers said. It’ll need to ensure availability of tools and scientific information to low-income countries.
You can now talk to someone and look at your life
Artificial intelligence startup OpenAI has announced it’ll be testing audio-enabled synthesis of synthetic speech and audio-audio on its chat service, ChatGPT. It’ll begin using audio and visual data to train its machine learning models, OpenAI said. It’ll test the feature with a Podcaster, who’ll be able to mimic the original voice of a Podcaster and translate it into more than one language.
A leaked memo says that Microsoft will give its vision for Windows and more at a special event
Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella has said it is time to “modernise” Windows with Copilot technology. “We give ourselves…opportunity to transform our software offering and the consumers experience in an Al and Copilot-first world by bringing Windows, Web, and Services into one team under Mikhail Parakhin,” Nadella said. CoPilot is a AI-powered system that uses artificial intelligence to understand user behaviour.
