Google Reportedly Replacing Some Human Staff With AI
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: robotics/AI
While it’s unclear how many humans will end up being affected, it’s a clear sign of the times. Earlier this year, Google ushered in a “new era of AI-powered ads.” As part of the initiative, Google is trying to leverage AI tech to “deliver new ad experiences,” including “automatically created assets” that scrape content from existing ads and landing pages.
Some of these ads created by the company’s Performance Max feature can even change in real-time based on click-through rates to maximize visibility, a task that’s labor-intensive for human workers.
According to the Information, a “growing number of advertisers have adopted PMax since,” which has eliminated the “need for some employees who specialized in selling ads for a particular Google service.”

A Close-Up View Reveals the ‘Melting’ Point of an Infinite Graph
Posted by Cecile G. Tamura in category: mathematics
A new proof shows what happens tographs before and after a sudden shift called the percolation threshold.
Just as ice melts to water, graphs undergo phase transitions. Two mathematicians showed that they can pinpoint such transitions by examining only local structure.

No, AI cannot be named as an inventor, UK Supreme Court says
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: food, robotics/AI
The UK’s supreme court has ruled that AI cannot be named as an inventor and secure patent rights. It follows earlier decisions from lower courts that reached the same conclusions.
On Wednesday, US computer scientist Stephen Thaler lost his attempt to register patents for inventions he says were created by his AI system, DABUS.
Thaler said DABUS autonomously created a light beacon and a container for food and drink, and entitled to rights over the inventions.

DNA Tests Are a Fun Holiday Gift… Unless They Reveal a Horrifying Secret
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
The holiday season means presents galore — but in the case of at-home DNA tests, some gifts may be better left unopened.
As experts told USA Today, the prevalence of self-serve DNA testing has made it much more likely that people discover painful family secrets — for instance, that one or both of your parents are not your genetic relatives — upon getting their results.
For years now, we’ve come across reports about people learning of their parents’ affairs via DNA testing kits from companies like Ancestry or 23andme.
