How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education | Sal Khan | TED

Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy, thinks artificial intelligence could spark the greatest positive transformation education has ever seen. He shares the opportunities he sees for students and educators to collaborate with AI tools — including the potential of a personal AI tutor for every student and an AI teaching assistant for every teacher — and demos some exciting new features for their educational chatbot, Khanmigo.

Dating in the world of “Deep Fakes”

Here’s my new article for Aporia magazine, the final futurist story in my 4-part series for them!

Written by Zoltan Istvan.

I met my wife on Match.com 15 years ago. She didn’t have a picture on her profile, but she had written a strong description of herself. It was enough to warrant a first date, and we got married a year later.

But what if ordinary dating sites allowed users to see their potential date naked using advanced AI that could “virtually undress” that person? Let’s take it a step further. What if they gave users the option to have virtual sex with their potential date using deepfake technology, before they ever met them in person? Some of this technology is already here. And it’s prompting a lot of thorny questions – not just for dating sites but for anyone who uses the web.

Deepfakes are synthetic media created by deep learning algorithms (a form of artificial intelligence). These videos, images and audio recordings depict faces, voices or entire personas that are often indistinguishable from the real thing. They have raised concerns due to their potential to deceive and manipulate. While originally used to create humorous or satirical content, they will increasingly be misused to spread fake news and to commit fraud or blackmail. Of particular concern is how they might affect personal relationships.

New high-tech microscope using AI successfully detects malaria in returning travelers

By Deborah Pirchner, Frontiers science writer.

Malaria is an infectious disease claiming more than half a million lives each year. Because traditional diagnosis takes expertise and the workload is high, an international team of researchers investigated if diagnosis using a new system combining an automatic scanning microscope and AI is feasible in clinical settings. They found that the system identified malaria parasites almost as accurately as experts staffing microscopes used in standard diagnostic procedures. This may help reduce the burden on microscopists and increase the feasible patient load.

Each year, more than 200 million people fall sick with malaria and more than half a million of these infections lead to death. The World Health Organization recommends parasite-based diagnosis before starting treatment for the disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. There are various diagnostic methods, including conventional light microscopy, rapid diagnostic tests and PCR.

Open access research publisher Frontiers welcomes a bipartisan bill to expand access to artificial intelligence research in the US

The bipartisan CREATE AI Act aims to overcome the access divide and see the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence properly weighed for all Americans.

In July 2023, US Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced the CREATE AI Act (the Creating Resources for Every American To Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act). U.S. Representatives Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Don Beyer (D-Va.), and Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) introduced a companion bill in the House of Representatives.

Frontiers welcomes the move. It shows foresight, creativity, and the chance to properly weigh the risks and benefits of AI for all.

Computer Art Elicits Emotion, But Not As Much As Human Art

Whether you like it or not, people are increasingly seeing art that was generated by computers. Everyone has an opinion about it, but researchers at the University of Vienna recently ran a small study to find out how people actually perceive computer-generated art.

In the study, led by Theresa Demmer, people were shown abstract art of black and white blocks in a grid. The art was either generated by a human artist or by a random number generator.

“For the computer-generated images, we avoided using AI or a self-learning algorithm trained on human-generated images but chose to use a very simple algorithm instead,” Demmer told the University of Vienna. “The goal of this approach was to produce… More.

Adobe Breaks Firefly AI Out Of Beta, Rolls Out Generative AI Capabilities Across Apps

Adobe, once wary of how generative AI could disrupt its professional creative base, is now fully embracing the technology as a new frontier for augmented creativity. On Wednesday, the company announced it was taking its Firefly AI out of beta and rolling it out commercially across its Creative Cloud, Adobe Express, and Experience Cloud platforms.

As part of the rollout, Adobe launched a new Firefly web portal for AI experimentation, integrated Firefly capabilities directly into Photoshop and Illustrator, and added AI features to Express.

Renesas Taps Cadence For ChipGPT-Like AI-Powered Semiconductor Design

Traditional semiconductor chip design typically begins with a lengthy and often arduous process of specification definition, RTL model creation and documentation, before engineering teams can set out on designing actual circuits. However, what if this IP creation and team-based design review phase could be cut down to a few weeks, rather than months, with literally hundreds of hours of design team meetings saved in the process?

This is the goal of a new “ChipGPT” type tool, that Cadence Design Systems is bringing to market, which employs Large Language Models and generative AI to do much of the heavy lifting in this early semiconductor definition and design verification phase.

As a new… More.

Generative AI has once again proven itself capable of alleviating semiconductor design teams from large portions of iterative optimization and verification work.

Your Browser, Your Phone And Next-Generation Coding

Sometimes when you dig into the technology underneath your favorite devices and applications, you almost wish you hadn’t.

Still, it’s good to get an idea of what hackers are doing, how teams are responding, and what’s going on with the mobile devices that we all rely on more and more with each new year. Some of that has an intersection with AI/ML, in ways that might surprise you.

Check out Adam Chlipala’s talk on modern methods: applying this sort of data science to the practice of computer programming is going to be pretty heavy for anyone who isn’t a coder.
