Artificial intelligence will soon turn your dreams into video games, expert claims… – The US Sun

THE EXECUTIVE of an intelligence research lab has visions of programs intertwining with dreams.

The expectations for artificial intelligence in gaming are getting higher as chips and relevant technologies improve at a stunning pace.

Midjourney is an AI research lab that bills itself as "expanding the imaginative powers of the human species."

Their products demonstrate the many uses of AI, but CEO David Holz's vision is of programs that do more than turn words into images.

"You'll be able to buy a console with a giant AI chip and all the games will bedreams," Holz told PCGamer.

Easier said than done, but Midjourney's advisors include the CEO of the coding powerhouse Github and the creator of Second Life, one of the first encompassing virtual worlds.

"In theory, the barriers between consuming something and creating something fall away, and it becomes like liquid imagination flowing around the room," Holz continued.

Holz and Midjourney have a roadmap for taking these high-minded, philosophical applications of AI and making them real.

"Everything between now and then is a combination of increasing the quality, being able to do things like 3D, making things faster, making things higher resolution, and having smaller and smaller chips doing more and more stuff."

PCGamer's interview with Holz comes on the heels of a major breakthrough in computer chip development that could enable AI programs to be stored on locally instead of the cloud.

This would make wearables, like VR headsets used for gaming, better suited to run AI programs and taking a step toward AI doing more with a smaller footprint.

There have been flashes of terror over AI's power and Midjourney's own programs spat out a horrifying image when prompted to create the "last selfie ever taken".

Holz addressed the paranoia regarding AI and said "We're not trying to build God, we're trying to amplify the imaginative powers of the human species,"in his discussion with PCGamer.

Holz's dream-generated AI might seem like a long way off, but astechnologygets more advanced, society and industry are better equipped to improve technology faster and more drastically.

Brain-chip companies have begun human trials and Elon Musk tweeted that his brain-chip company Neuralink would have a "progress update show & tell" announcement on October 31

Revealed: The technology companies leading the way in artificial intelligence – Verdict

Alphabet and Amazon are among the companies best positioned to take advantage of future artificial intelligence disruption in the technology industry, our analysis shows.

The assessment comes from GlobalDatas Thematic Research ecosystem, which ranks companies on a scale of one to five based on their likelihood to tackle challenges like artificial intelligence and emerge as long-term winners of the technology sector.

According to our analysis, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Alibaba, Baidu, ByteDance, Nvidia, Z Holdings, Airbnb, Inspur Electronic, ASML, ABB, Tesla, Siemens, GE, Darktrace, Expedia, Mythic, Alibaba Pictures, Groq, Cerebras, TSMC, Horizon Robotics, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, SambaNova, iFlytek, AMD, Wayfair, Cambricon, Graphcore, Zapata Computing, Cambridge Quantum and Suning.com are the companies best positioned to benefit from investments in artificial intelligence, all of them recording scores of five out of five in GlobalDatas Advertising, Application software, Cloud services, Consumer electronics, Ecommerce, Enterprise security, Industrial automation, IT infrastructure, IT services, Music, Film, & TV, Publishing, Semiconductors, Social media and Telecom infrastructure Thematic Scorecards.

The table below shows how GlobalData analysts scored the biggest companies in the technology industry on their artificial intelligence performance, as well as the number of new artificial intelligence jobs, deals and patents from the companies since August 2021.

The final column in the table represents the overall score given to that company when it comes to their current artificial intelligence position relative to their peers. A score of five indicates that a company is a dominant player in this space, while companies that score less than three are vulnerable to being left behind. These can be read fairly straightforwardly.

The other data points in the table are more nuanced, showcasing recent artificial intelligence investment across a range of areas over the past year. These metrics, where available, give an indication of whether artificial intelligence is at the top of executives minds now, but high numbers in these fields are just as likely to represent desperate attempts to catch-up as they are genuine strength in artificial intelligence.

For example, a high number of deals could either indicate that a company is dominating the market, or that it is using mergers and acquisitions to fill in gaps in its offering.

This article is based on GlobalData research figures as of 19 August 2022. For more up-to-date figures, check the GlobalData website.

Artificial intelligence is the new frontier of ethical tests – City A.M.

Monday 22 August 2022 7:34 am

WITHOUT a doubt, there is vast potential for advancement and benefit to society arising out of the application of artificial intelligence.

Around half of businesses plan to use AI or advanced machine learning in some capacity in the next three years. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said self-driving cars could be on our roads as early as next year. This has, predictably, put the debate over artificial intelligence centre stage. What circumstances are cars taught to anticipate? What happens in the event of the unexpected, as often happens on our roads?

There are complex legal, societal and ethical questions to consider. This includes the classic trolley dilemma around who to save when there are choices and how does one stop a robot going rogue?

As AI becomes more common-place, regulators have been seeking to grapple with this and more wide-reaching issues. A major focus for the impending EU Regulation of AI is the need for transparency, fairness and non-bias.

There will also be requirements to report on, with powers for people to be compensated for biased, unethical or incorrect outcomes as well as unfair treatment of data.

When you layer on privacy regulators requirements around how personal data is used the compliance journey for suppliers, adopters and users of AI can be arduous, particularly as new laws emerge and because the laws are and will differ across the world.

Last month, the UK Government set out proposals on the future regulation of AI, calling for people to share their views on the suggested approach. The governments approach is arguably lighter touch than the EU Regulation, aiming to create proportionate and adaptable rules. Both Ofcom and the CMA would be empowered to interpret and implement the key principles.

An ethical approach to the use of AI is not just essential to ensure legal compliance. Potential fines of up to 30,000,000 in the EU, 6 per cent of global turnover and the threat of major reputational damage and erosion of significant value make this a business imperative.

But how can businesses ensure their AI isnt artificially intolerant? Most of it will come down to using the right data and processing it correctly. This is before we even enter the complicated question of whether it is right to use the data, which then leads to a whole set of ethical concerns around fairness.

For example, if the technology is using data from the past as to who has been successful for a role, it could simply lead to unearthing only white male candidates of a certain age, because historically those were the people given most opportunities.

There have already been a number of cases where bias has produced unfair results for example through mortgage applications in non-UK banks. And, of course, the choice as to what decisions an AI system makes for autonomous vehicles and weapons is yet another example of the need to ensure the right guardrails are in place.

At least where systems dont completely think for themselves, some businesses are already grappling with these issues. If they dont theres the potential for reputation damage or even fines.

Boardrooms must understand what the plethora of regulations are going to expect of them and their business and they must prepare a clear action plan including their approach to ethics in technology or corporate social responsibility. Only then can the true potential of AI be unleashed for good without the risk/threat of artificial intolerance or incorrectness..

Is the future of artificial intelligence internet-free? These researchers hope so – WQAD Moline

Today, AI learning requires a connection to a remote server to perform heavy computing calculations. These researchers say changing that could transform health care.

ORLANDO, Fla. Our computers, devices, smart watches, video monitoring systems, etc...- we rely on connectivity to the internet and dont think twice about it. Now, scientists are developing technology for artificial intelligence that will allow it to work even in remote areas.

Self-driving cars, drone helicopters and medical monitoring equipment; its all cutting-edge technology that requires connection to the cloud. Now, researchers at the University of Central Florida are developing devices that wont rely on an internet connection.

What we are trying to do is make small devices, which will mimic the neurons and synapses of the brain, researcher at the University of Central Florida, Tania Roy, PhD, explains.

Right now, artificial intelligence learning requires a connection to a remote server to perform heavy computing calculations. Scientists are making the AI circuits microscopically small.

Roy emphasizes, Each device that we have is the size of 1/100th of a human hair.

The AI can fit on a small microchip less than an inch wide eliminating the need for an internet connection, meaning life-saving devices could work in remote areas. For example, helping emergency responders find missing hikers.

We would send a drone which has a camera eye, and it can just go and locate those people and rescue them, Roy says.

The scientists say with no need for an internet connection, the AI would also work in space, where no AI technology has gone before.

The same UCF team is expanding on their work with artificial brain devices, and they are developing artificial intelligence that mimics the retina in the human eye, meaning someday, AI could instantly recognize the images in front of it. The researchers say this technology is about five years away from commercial use.
