Apple’s iOS 18 is set to introduce a range of artificial intelligence features, including the highly anticipated Image Playground. This new feature allows users to generate cartoon-like illustrations based on text prompts, adding a touch of creativity to the iOS experience. Recently, Apple shared the first-ever example of an Image Playground creation outside of its

The recent clash between Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton, two prominent figures in the field of artificial intelligence, has put a spotlight on the deep divisions within the AI community regarding regulation. While Hinton has endorsed California’s SB 1047, a bill aimed at establishing liability for developers of large-scale AI models that cause harm, LeCun
The recent incident where Elon Musk shared a fake image of Kamala Harris dressed as a “communist dictator” highlighted the limitations of AI image generation tools. The photo, created using X’s Grok tool, bore only a passing resemblance to the vice president, leading many users to criticize the tool’s inability to accurately depict Harris. One
When exploring the capabilities of XAI’s Grok, it becomes evident that the responsibility lies on the user to assess the accuracy of the AI’s responses. Despite being labeled as an early version, xAI explicitly states on its help page that Grok may provide factually incorrect information, miss context, or even misinterpret data. This warning highlights
In the current landscape of artificial intelligence, graphics chips (GPUs) have emerged as the driving force behind the development of large language models (LLMs) that serve as the backbone for chatbots and various other AI applications. The immense processing power and parallel computation capabilities of GPUs make them essential for training and deploying these sophisticated
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long been a topic of interest, but there are certain aspects of it that delve into more philosophical and complex territory. One such concept is Roko’s Basilisk, a thought experiment that has sparked debates and discussions within the AI community. The basilisk, a mythological creature known for its deadly gaze, serves
Deepfake pornography, particularly nonconsensual deepfake porn of women, has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Despite this, lawmakers seem to be more focused on protecting electoral integrity through legislation on political deepfakes rather than addressing the intimate image question. This disparity in priorities has resulted in a lack of comprehensive laws and enforcement mechanisms to
The landscape of generative AI tools has been evolving rapidly, with a shift towards more restricted access to training data sources. While initially, these tools were trained on publicly available data scraped from the internet, there is now a growing trend towards the implementation of licensing agreements for data usage. This has led to the
Google recently made headlines with the rollout of a major update to its Chrome browser, which incorporates its advanced Gemini AI chatbot directly into the address bar. This move marks a significant step in making AI technology more accessible and could potentially change the way users interact with the internet. The integration of Gemini AI
One of the major challenges in detecting deepfakes in the Global South is the quality of media produced in these regions. Unlike high-quality media that deepfake detection tools are usually trained on, cheap Chinese smartphone brands dominate the market in regions like Africa. These smartphones offer stripped-down features and produce much lower quality photos and
