Chatbots don't have or show any emotions - but still they just might be good for some funny jokes, two IT experts in Los Angeles say. Drew Gorenz and Norbert Schwarz of the University of Southern California (USC), in a recent paper in the scientific journal PLOS ONE, contend that ChatGPT can already compete with professional satirists in joke-writing and creating headlines. The researchers conducted three tests with participants who were kept in the dark as to who or what wrote the jokes being presented to them. One guidepost for the comparisons was the popular US satire magazine The Onion and...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be “one of the biggest inventions humanity will ever make”, the British founder of Google DeepMind has said. Demis Hassabis said the creation of an artificial general intelligence – AI with a general human-level intelligence – would be “unbelievably transformative” as it could make intelligence itself an “abundant tool”. Speaking to former British prime minister Tony Blair at the Tony Blair Institute’s Future of Britain conference in London, the Google DeepMind chief executive said that over the next decade AI would transform work and productiv...

WhatsApp is preparing to let users send AI-generated images of themselves within the app, according to a tech media report. Users are set to be able to put an avatar version of their faces into just about any context: "Take photos of yourself once, then imagine yourself in any setting from the forest to outer space," Meta says in pre-release screenshots shared by WhatsApp news website WABetaInfo. The feature, still under development, is not just about creating a new profile picture, but a more comprehensive photo generation tool for spontaneous photos in chat, allowing you to quickly send a ve...

Google’s greenhouse gas emissions have risen 48% since 2019, according to the firm’s latest environmental report, driven by the increasing power demands of artificial intelligence (AI). The tech giant has set itself the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2030, but said the increasing amount of energy needed by its data centres to carry out the more intense levels of compute required to power AI services made reducing emissions challenging. One of the major concerns around AI has been the potential environmental impact of its development, with a recent study by the International Energy Agen...

AI innovators have already been told of the risks their chatbots bring, from potentially costing millions of people their jobs to "hallucinating" false information when fielding user queries. But a more immediate risk could be the prejudices that such software reinforces: According to University of Washington (UW) researchers, the best-known model, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, appears to be biased against people with disabilities, going by how it ranks resumes. The Seattle-based team found ChatGPT to have "consistently ranked resumes with disability-related honours and credentials" as "lower than the sam...

Amazon is now using artificial intelligence to generate services for the many retailers on its global online marketplace, according to Dharmesh Mehta, the Amazon vice president responsible for the marketplace. In addition to AI-generated product descriptions, this also includes marketing texts, images and adverts, he added. "And it's still very early days, but even in the short while that we've had some of these features launch, we've got already 30,000 sellers [in Europe] that are using these features," Mehta told dpa during a visit to Munich. According to Mehta, in many cases, photos of the ...

Even as artificial intelligence threatens to transform various industries and render some professions obsolete, many artists see their craft as potentially benefiting from new AI-powered styles and techniques. A survey of more than 3,000 visual artists living in Germany found that 43% see AI as an opportunity. At the same time, many have reservations and fears, and 56% fear that they could lose sources of income, while 53% even see the livelihood of visual artists at risk. And yet there remains a great deal of curiosity about AI in the art scene, as in many other industries. "42% of the artist...

Can artificial intelligence write a decent film script? Swiss filmmaker Peter Luisi wanted to find this out and turned his AI-generated script into a film with real actors. In doing so, he wanted to spark debate about the use of AI in the film industry. Now, he's found his film being kicked out of a London cinema where it had been due to be screened in late June. The Prince Charles Cinema in Soho got cold feet after the film's promotion was met with much criticism on social media. "It's a shame," Luisi told dpa. "I don't think bowing to these comments is the right way to go. But I respect this...

Anthropic is primarily aimed at use in companies and wants to gain a foothold in the legal and financial sectors, while pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is among its clients, using the AI to assist in drug development. With the new model Anthropic is...
