Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton Leaves Google to Raise Awareness about Risks of AI Technology

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the "Godfathers of AI", who won the Turing Award for his work in AI, recently quit his job at Google to speak about the risks of AI. Hinton is concerned about bad actors using AI for bad things, and worries that AI could eliminate rote jobs and possibly humanity itself as it begins to write and run its own code. He was happy with Google's stewardship of the technology until Microsoft launched the new OpenAI-infused Bing, challenging Google's core business and sparking a "code red" response inside the search giant.

AI-generated deepfakes are moving fast. Policymakers can't keep up.
The use of artificial intelligence to create fake images, video, and audio is blurring the line between reality and make-believe, raising concerns about how to regulate it. Technical solutions exist, but they have shortcomings, and a mix of responses, including laws, regulations, and media literacy, is needed. The risks from AI are not only about what the technology can do, but also about how society responds to it. The EU is leading the way with forthcoming rules on how AI can be used, but it also requires people to be savvier media consumers and practice fact-checking. (source)

Ex-Apple Employees Demo Standalone Wearable with AI and Projected Display
Humane, a startup founded by ex-Apple employees Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, has given a live demo of its new wearable gadget, which has a projected display and AI-powered features. The device, which is built entirely for artificial intelligence, is completely standalone and does not require pairing with a smartphone. It responds to voice and gesture commands, can project a screen onto nearby surfaces, includes a camera that can identify objects and has translation capabilities. However, it is unclear how usable the device will be in public or in a hurry compared to smartphones. (source)
