Is it ethical to use AI art? Some thought on this topic

2022 the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition gave out prizes in all the usual art categories.

“Thé tre D’opéra Spatial,” took home the blue ribbon in the fair’s contest for emerging digital artists — making it one of the first A.I.-generated pieces to win such a prize.

What companies are active in this field?
Is it ethic or legal to create, use and sell AI art?
Will AI mark the end of jobs?
Prepare for the age of deep fake.
Here are some thoughts on this topic. I don’t have a definite answer to all these question, but one thing is for certain: AI is here to stay.

Aging is driven by unbalanced genes, finds AI analysis of multiple species

Northwestern University researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that drives aging.

In a new study, researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.

All cells must balance the activity of long and short genes. The researchers found that longer genes are linked to longer lifespans, and shorter genes are linked to shorter lifespans. They also found that aging genes change their activity according to length. More specifically, aging is accompanied by a shift in activity toward short genes. This causes the gene activity in cells to become unbalanced.

Thanks to AI, it’s probably time to take your photos off the Internet

If you’re one of the billions of people who have posted pictures of themselves on social media over the past decade, it may be time to rethink that behavior. New AI image-generation technology allows anyone to save a handful of photos (or video frames) of you, then train AI to create realistic fake photos that show you doing embarrassing or illegal things. Not everyone may be at risk, but everyone should know about it.

Photographs have always been subject to falsifications—first in darkrooms with scissors and paste and then via Adobe Photoshop through pixels. But it took a great deal of skill to pull off convincingly. Today, creating convincing photorealistic fakes has become almost trivial.

Once an AI model learns how to render someone, their image becomes a software plaything. The AI can create images of them in infinite quantities. And the AI model can be shared, allowing other people to create images of that person as well.

AI, Robots & the Future

Robots and AI are already real products and services. But will they take our jobs? Or even take over? In this video I discuss these questions in a pragmatic fashion, as well as how we may usefully define “artificial intelligence”. Also covered are cloud AI services, and the role AI in digital transformation.
