Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in Western countries. The condition, a deterioration of central vision, begins when droplets of lipids and proteins called lipofuscin accumulate in the retina and damage cells.
In a conversation during an episode of the Adam Buxton podcast, the veteran performer recently voiced his opinion regarding the likelihood of actors being kept alive in movies through the power of advanced technologies.
Known for his iconic roles in numerous blockbuster films like Forest Gump and Cast Away, the actor said that such technologies can be leveraged to recreate his image, voice, and mannerisms, from “now until kingdom come,” said Tom in the podcast.
He argues policymakers need to do more to protect civilians.

“A digital twin is essentially a replica of something from the real world… Deepfakes are the mirror image of digital twins, meaning that someone had created a digital replica without the permission of that person, and usually for malicious purposes, usually to trick somebody,” California-based AI expert Neil Sahota, who has served as an AI adviser to the United Nations, told the news outlet.
On Saturday, leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) nations made some public calls for the development and adoption of technical standards to keep artificial intelligence (AI) “trustworthy.” They added that they feared that governance of the technology has not kept pace with its growth.
This is according to a report by the Financial Post published on Saturday.
The leaders from the U.S., Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and the EU said in a statement that while approaches to “the common vision and goal of trustworthy AI may vary,” the rules for digital technologies like AI should be “in line with our shared democratic values.”
Despite their potential, AI detectors often fall short of accurately identifying and mitigating cheating.
In the age of advanced artificial intelligence, the fight against cheating, plagiarism and misinformation has taken a curious turn.
As developers and companies race to create AI detectors capable of identifying content written by other AIs, a new study from Stanford scholars reveals a disheartening truth: these detectors are far from reliable. Students would probably love to hear this.
A sunspot duo has been exploding non-stop, producing a barrage of M-class solar flares on the Sun. The ultraviolet radiation has resulted in a rolling series of blackouts across the planet. More solar storm trouble coming?
Eye drops that have been contaminated with a highly drug-resistant strain of bacteria have now been linked to four deaths and 14 cases of blindness, according to an update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC said in a post on its website that it has identified 81 patients from 18 states who have been infected with VIM-GES-CRPA, a rare strain of a drug-resistant bacterium called P. aeruginosa. This includes 13 additional patients from the agency’s previous update in March.
A new genetic analysis of 290 people suggests that humans emerged at various times and places in Africa.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed digital skin that can convert sensations such as heat and pressure to electrical signals that can be read by electrodes implanted in the human brain.
Although such capability was developed years earlier, the components required at that time to convert digital signals were rigid and unwieldy.
This new e-skin is soft as, well, skin. The conversion elements are seamlessly incorporated within the skin, which measures a few tens of nanometers thick.
