In a witty, smart, and slightly lighthearted style, it seems that companies are increasingly aiming to eliminate the need for human workers by integrating advanced AI technologies. David Hsu, the CEO of Retool, discussed how AI is driving companies to seek full-on automation, with the goal of making human workers ‘disappear’ to achieve massive cost […]
Kenya’s tech industry is in a battle against AI regulation, fearing stifled innovation and reduced investment. The proposed bill aims to regulate AI practitioners, impose license fees, and secure government funding for AI research. Critics argue that it could deter private investment, limit opportunities for young innovators, and tarnish Kenya’s ‘Silicon Savannah’ reputation. The debate […]

Kyron Learning, an AI-based learning startup, has secured $14.6 million in Series A funding along with an $850,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The funding will help further develop Kyron’s generative AI capabilities and expand its K-12 math curriculum. The platform allows students to interact with lessons using text or voice, with […]
Challenges Faced by Sex Workers: There is surveillance and scrutiny they encounter when traveling internationally and there are instances where sex workers have been detained, questioned, and banned from entering certain countries, shedding light on the significant obstacles they face while exercising their basic right to travel. Impact of Surveillance Technologies: There is pervasive use […]
In a thought-provoking piece for Slate, Bruce Schneier warns about the potential of AI enabling mass spying, with AI systems being capable of automatically analyzing and summarizing large volumes of conversation data. This could lead to a new era of mass spying that is not limited to conversations on phones or computers and could extend […]
The article discusses the intense regulatory issues that Nvidia, a major chipmaker, is facing due to its attempts to gain market share in China. The company has been producing high-powered chips that have been specifically forbidden for export to China due to concerns over their potential use in AI applications that could pose a threat […]
The article discusses how researchers at Google’s DeepMind unit have found a new way to break the alignment of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a generative AI program. By asking ChatGPT to repeat a word endlessly, the researchers were able to extract training data and even personally identifiable information.
In a recent study, researchers have shed light on the carbon footprint of AI tools, and the results are raising eyebrows faster than an AI-powered eyebrow-raising tool. It turns out that the energy consumption associated with using AI has been largely overlooked, like that forgotten piece of broccoli on your dinner plate. According to Jesse […]
A team of researchers from Columbia University and Safe Pro Group is developing a drone-based machine-learning technology to make land mine removal faster and safer. The drones fly over potentially mined areas, collecting images that are then processed by an algorithm trained on the visual characteristics of various types of land mines. The algorithm creates […]
In a move that’s sure to make tea-drinking Brits do a double-take, Microsoft is stepping up its AI game in the UK. The tech giant has announced a whopping £2.5 billion ($3.2bn) investment to revolutionize the country’s future. And no, they’re not just sending over a fancy new version of Clippy (remember that annoying paperclip?). […]
The article discusses the importance of prioritizing human intention in AI development rather than solely focusing on profit maximization.
XTX Markets is launching a new $10mn challenge fund, the Artificial Intelligence Mathematical Olympiad Prize (AI-MO Prize). The fund intends to spur the development of AI models that can reason mathematically, leading to the creation of a publicly-shared AI model capable of winning a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The grand prize of $5mn will […]
The movie “WarGames” highlights the potential risks of incorporating AI into the nuclear weapons sphere, particularly regarding the use of fake data to deceive enemies. Deepfakes, which are AI-generated images or videos that can look astonishingly real, could be used to create deceptive data in the military and intelligence fields. The reliance on AI for […]
The United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, visited the White House and raised concerns about G42, an AI firm controlled by the sheikh that American officials believe is hiding the extent of its work with China. G42 has publicly announced partnerships and impressive growth, but classified intelligence reports indicate concerning ties […]
In the exciting world of artificial intelligence (AI), it seems that security is the buzzword of the day. The U.K., the U.S., and a bunch of other countries have come together to release new guidelines for developing secure AI systems. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Why do we need guidelines for something that’s not […]
In a groundbreaking international agreement, the United States, Britain, and a coalition of 16 other countries have come together to address the pressing issue of keeping artificial intelligence (AI) safe from rogue actors. In a 20-page document, the countries highlighted the need for AI systems that prioritize security from the design phase. While the agreement […]
California Governor Gavin Newsom has emphasized the importance of staying ahead of the curve in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by acquiring new skills and becoming familiar with the emerging technology. In a recent report, Newsom called for California residents to have access to educational and training opportunities in GenAI, stating that it is essential to […]
