De ce nu mai ies românii în stradă să protesteze. O cercetare în premieră a Statisticii are o concluzie dezarmantă Ultimele proteste serioase de care îmi amintesc au fost în august 2018, când zeci de mii de oameni au ieșit în stradă pentru a cere demisia Guvernului. De atunci încoace au mai fost proteste pe ici pe colo, iar cele organizate prin intermediul social media s-au dovedit a fi un eșec. De la mi...

"AI, Suleyman argues, will rapidly reduce the price of achieving any goal. Its astonishing labour-saving and problem-solving capabilities will be available cheaply and to anyone who wants to use them. He memorably calls this “the plummeting cost of power”. If the printing press allowed ordinary people to own books, and the silicon chip put a computer in every home, AI will democratise simply doing things. So, sure, that means getting a virtual assistant to set up a company for you, or using a swarm of builder bots to throw up an extension. Unfortunately, it also means engineering a run on a bank, or creating a deadly virus using a DNA synthesiser."

‘I hope I’m wrong’: the co-founder of DeepMind on how AI threatens to reshape life as we know it From synthetic organisms to killer drones, Mustafa Suleyman talks about the mind-blowing potential of artificial intelligence, and how we can still avoid catastrophe

"When we give AI a humanoid form, we typically choose the robot to have feminine characteristics. Are we playing on stereotypes?"

"Authors including Margaret Atwood, Viet Thanh Nguyen and Philip Pullman have signed a petition calling for artificial intelligence companies to stop using writers’ work without consent or credit.

The open letter, which has been set up by the Authors Guild, America’s largest professional organisation for writers, is addressed to the CEOs of OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, and IBM. It presents these generative AI leaders with three demands, asking that these companies: “Obtain permission for use of our copyrighted material”; “Compensate writers fairly for the past and ongoing use of our works”, and “Compensate writers fairly for the use of our works in AI output, whether or not the outputs are infringing under current law”.

"there are still things AI isn’t capable of – tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that centre those skills could help lessen the chances of being replaced."

The jobs AI won't take yet Amid the talk of artificial intelligence replacing workers, experts say there are some jobs computers aren’t taking – at least for a while.
