Countries that ban social media for minors After Australia, Indonesia would also be willing to approve legislation banning the use of social media by minors due to concerns about the mental health of young people linked to the impact of these technologies, increasingly appreciated by a young audience that often spends long hours with their heads bowed almost hypnotized by smartphone screens. In Australia for example the ban on minors under sixteen also provides for a fine, other countries had already provided for restrictions but in this case we are talking about an absolute ban. Regarding the previous restrictions some complained that they could be circumvented and only applied in cases of social networks that required a subscription. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on technological issues that major Canadian media accuse an artificial intelligence application of infringing copyrights. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 04, 2024

 Energy studies on how to exploit the sea waves The transition to renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels pushes us to look in sectors that still have several problems of effective use and, for example, new plants are being experimented with to exploit the waves of the sea and some say that they could also be among the energy sources of the future. It would be necessary to make sure that a system is resistant to sea corrosion, perhaps by immersing the part that converts the oscillatory motion into energy (complex and to be developed) only when a sensor detects the possibility of full exploitation; then the higher waves could damage the system and therefore also from this point of view it is necessary to study a protection system that intervenes appropriately. In practice even if the difficulties are many it is a clean energy source with great possibilities of development. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 27, 2024 n°: 5810 A code to counter the artificial intelligence With increasingly realistic images, videos and texts generated by artificial intelligence, it is necessary according to experts to find a method to identify reality from function, putting a warning that it is non-real material could be a solution; but could also put a code for example on an image to be able to verify on a website if it is reality or fiction. Others argue that the amount of energy absorbed by generative artificial intelligence is simply excessive, what may seem like a simple request to an application perhaps capable of creating texts in a few moments, enriching them with images and videos seems to be enough to keep a light on for tens of minutes so much so that it will be necessary to build modular nuclear power plants to fuel all these enormous energy demands. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 30, 2024 n°: 5787 Nuclear energy for artificial intelligence To fuel the enormous energy demands of systems that support generative artificial intelligence a well-known company, that has a monopoly for example in the online search market and other widespread applications, would be willing to use multiple small modular nuclear reactors (the first module is expected to be used by 2030, but first it will be necessary to obtain all the certifications from the authorities that regulate the nuclear sector). It is estimated that the demand in general for data processing centers could about triple by 2030, but some argue that it is not clear what the real consumption of artificial intelligence alone is; then as far as expensive nuclear modules built in factories instead of in a certain outdoor site there is talk of not respecting economies of scale very much and there are also problems related to the disposal of radioactive waste. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 15, 2024 n°: 5774 Ask your doctor if they use AI A patient's personal data could be used by generative artificial intelligence platforms (raising questions related to privacy), at least according to the predictions of experts who warn that apparently some doctors already use artificial intelligence applications for example to automatically write the medical record by transcribing conversations with patients, then as these questionable technologies develop they will always be most used to increase the information obtained with visits. It has been noted that artificial intelligence is not always able to translate particular types of accents in a language, making errors of interpretation; then it is better to ask the doctor if he uses artificial intelligence, in this case also to verify that the documentation is correct. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 12, 2024 n°: 5772 From an image to a video with artificial intelligence The unstoppable advance of generative artificial intelligence continues with new functions that apparently are much appreciated by those who make questionable completely false images (so-called deepfakes) and now there is talk of the arrival of an application that will allow to go from a photo to a video up to about sixteen seconds even by equipping it with audio; for example, animating a photograph of an event by making it become a video. It should not, according to the first statements, be a substitute for traditional artistic animations; but some doubt on this topic seems obvious as this far too automated technology develops. Another question is about the energy costs to create these animations that use sophisticated microprocessors and also for those who watch them, activating servers and computing centers located halfway around the world. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 05, 2024 n°: 5766 Artificial intelligence increasingly dangerous A new application to generate images based on artificial intelligence almost instantaneously and also with the possibility of remarkable sharpness and precision of detail would have been made available on an American social network (for the moment to users who have access to services with privileges) and apparently it is feared that it could be used to influence the next elections in the United States. Disparaging images have already been published that spread misinformation in the population without a filter being placed to avoid it, then lately many questionable images have been uploaded to websites made with generative artificial intelligence applications for some time (November 2022) used on a global scale and some also speak of a vicious circle that pushes them to be published faster and faster. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 16, 2024 n°: 5723 New sites built with artificial intelligence To recognize if a new site that deals with current news has been created with artificial intelligence and it is just disinformation, according to experts have to look for example at the logo and see if the image makes sense including any text phrases included, then check that it is not a facade that really existed in the past but is no longer active, examine the errors made by neural networks to user requests and for the more experienced check the HTML code of the page and see what the reference addresses are (generally they point to the same server that can be identified). It is worth mentioning the significant increase in the resources allocated lately to the development of artificial intelligence with the use of tens of thousands of programmers, so in practice we are going in the opposite direction and do not try to put a stop to this questionable technology. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 07, 2024 n°: 5716 Undertested operating system updates Following the IT chaos caused in many countries around the world by a malfunctioning software update (perhaps little tested) for a widely used operating system, controversy has arisen regarding the excessive dependence of entire production sectors on online computers and computers. It seems that in some cases remained unresolved it will take several days or even weeks to return to normal and solve the inefficiencies caused by those well-known and unpleasant blue screens of error with the danger of worsening the situation if turn to unscrupulous IT operators. Changing the subject but remaining on technological issues, the risk according to a recent study of that texts written with the help of artificial intelligence are all similar, in practice characterized by a lack of originality and a kind of qualitative leveling. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 22, 2024 n°: 5702 Artificial intelligence and emissions on the rise It has long been argued that the use of artificial intelligence would increase greenhouse gas emissions, and recently a large company that owns a well-known search engine said that its AI-based data processing centers would cause an increase in climate-changing pollutant emissions into the atmosphere of forty-eight percent since 2019. It should be considered that electronic currencies are also an expanding sector that requires large amounts of energy to crypto the virtual currencies it mints, but apparently for example Bolivia has lifted its ban on the use of these questionable currencies and other countries are also increasingly oriented towards electronic payments that are only apparently simpler; in fact, at each payment checks are triggered that activate powerful and polluting servers. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 06, 2024 n°: 5689 Technology and publications * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
