Was this written by AI? Researcher says you probably won’t be able to tell

Even linguistics experts are largely unable to spot the difference between writing created by artificial intelligence or humans, according to a new study co-authored by a University of South Florida assistant professor.

Research just published in the journal Research Methods in Applied Linguistics revealed that experts from the world’s top linguistic journals could differentiate between AI-and human-generated abstracts less than 39 percent of the time.

“We thought if anybody is going to be able to identify human-produced writing, it should be people in linguistics who’ve spent their careers studying patterns in language and other aspects of human communication,” said Matthew Kessler, a scholar in the USF the Department of World Languages.

How artificial intelligence gave a paralyzed woman her voice back

Tiny dents on thin material produce photon-polarizing magnetic fields.

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a technique that can produce polarized photons more easily and cheaply than existing methods. The technique.

Quantum communication uses photons to carry information, much as classical communication uses electrons. But while classical computers encode information by turning current… More.

Researchers at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that has enabled a woman with severe paralysis from a brainstem stroke to speak through a digital avatar.

It is the first time that either speech or facial expressions have been synthesized from brain signals. The system can also decode these signals into text at nearly 80 words per minute, a vast improvement over commercially available technology.

What is the India story for Generative AI?

Every few years comes a disruptive technology that catalyzes the development stages of not just companies but also society as a whole. Generative AI may not be as big as the invention of the internet but it is a foundational block to create a new digital transformation aided by AI.

The reason why Generative AI is one of the most exciting chapters in this journey of transformation is because the technology comes very close to imitating human quality of output. It sparks a very controversial debate about its advantages and disadvantages, especially in a country like ours with a large disposition to lose in terms of jobs that can be replaced by AI. But let’s look at our own journey of digital transformation closely. India has always charted a strong developmental course in terms of the tech industry with robust manpower, unmatched pricing, and a very dynamic workforce that has placed our country sixth in terms of AI investments between 2013–2022. Here, we do have to be mindful that our journey as a country for any disruptive technology may look completely different than others.

Nanobots can now enter brain cells to spy on what they’re doing

The ability to cure all disease slowly comes in view. ANI into Agi into ASI needs to be primary focus. Followed by genetics research, and lastly an extreme focus on Medical Nanobots. ASI will of cured most diseases by 2035–2040.

Fleets of advanced versions may one day be able to detect disease and then go about surgically treating it — without ever opening the skull.

My favorite episode of the hit sci-fi/horror TV series Black Mirror is “Be Right Back,” which premiered 10 years ago now, and captured the alienating experience of a woman cloning her dead ex-boyfriend by using a service that analyzed his social media posts and texts to recreate his personality.

The episode seemed fantastical but just on the edge of plausible at the time in 2013 — after all, many of us were already leaving extensive digital communications trails back then with our smartphones and computers.
