The age of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of creativity, challenging our understanding of creator rights and digital identity. As AI becomes an integral part of the creative process, collaborating with human minds to push the boundaries of imagination and innovation, we find ourselves in a new era that demands reevaluating the essence of authorship.

This AI renaissance is not just about the tools we use to create; it is about the fundamental shift in how we perceive and value creativity. In a world where AI can generate art, music and literature that rivals the works of human creators, we must reconsider what it means to be an author, an artist or a creator. The lines between human and machine creativity are blurring, giving rise to new forms of expression and collaboration that were once unimaginable.

The International Energy Agency predicts that artificial intelligence will consume 10 times as much energy in 2026 as it did in 2023.

Optical neural networks, which use photons instead of electrons, have advantages over traditional systems. They also face major obstacles.

In a path-breaking study, researchers have created artificial neurological junctions called synapses using a mix of water and salt, paving the way for the development of advanced computers that mimic the performance of a human brain. The artificial brain cells, developed by the team from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea, use the same water and salt ingredients the brain uses.

The results of the study were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Scientists striving to develop energy efficient and high-performance computers often look up to human brains as a source of inspiration.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who has said the 2013 Spike Jonze film is his favorite movie, invited comparisons by posting the word “Her” on X after the company announced the new ChatGPT version. But later, OpenAI executives denied any connection between Johansson and the new voice assistant.

Then the company suddenly dropped the voice.

In a post on X just before midnight Pacific time Sunday, OpenAI said the voice would be halted as it addresses “questions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT.” A company spokeswoman would not provide further detail.

OpenAI has introduced GPT-4o, in the form of a digital personal assistant that can interact using text and visuals 🤖

Here, we look back at GPT-4’s performance in human exams from a year ago for comparison.
