Social media alerts such as cigarettes According to some putting dissuasive warnings on cigarette packs could be a first step to try to curb the kind of addiction that many kids have for these unhealthy computer tools, at least according to proposals made in the United States, given the risks to mental health (such as attention, memory, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety) increasingly found in young people who spend many hours bent over the small screens of smartphones. However it is unlikely that they can be really effective even if some regulation must be taken in addition to making parents aware of the risks. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on technological issues of cases of questionable use for political campaigns of virtual candidates made with generative artificial intelligence. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 21, 2024

 Banning AI-based weapons Over one hundred and fifteen countries and two hundred and fifty non-governmental organizations promote banning AI-supported weapons to identify potential enemies, these so-called killer robots have been defined by international organizations as a "morally repugnant" technology. Recently there has also been controversy over the use of a software (Lavender) that uses artificial intelligence to identify possible militants in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, then previously some had pointed out the errors of assessment committed by the so-called intelligence that also exploited A.I. applications without considering that a machine for the moment cannot yet have an ethical conscience and to achieve the goal it could sacrificing many human lives in practice without any scruples. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 10, 2024 n°: 5666 Open letter against Artificial Intelligence A group of employees in the field that develops artificial intelligence has reportedly sent an open letter denouncing how the economic motivations of A.I. companies hide what is actually being achieved and it is not believed that government regulations can be enough to change this discouraging picture. It is recalled that the issue in figurative terms of human extinction due to the prevalence of artificial intelligence; then the issues of misinformation are highlighted, the use of artificial images to influence electoral campaigns despite the existence of regulations that prohibit it. It also cites the fact that A.I. companies have "weak obligations" to share information with governments about the capabilities and limitations of their systems, adding that the letter group cannot share information voluntarily. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 07, 2024 n°: 5664 Even more simulation for artificial intelligence A new version of a well-known generative artificial intelligence application defined as the most human ever developed will soon be released at least according to the first statements that underline the innovative features of this questionable technology capable of a realistic conversation with a voice that simulates the human one without the delays of previous versions and can also interact with texts and images; there is also talk of a fierce competition with other applications of this type that is apparently leading unfortunately to an unstoppable development. To report changing the subject but remaining on technological issues the recent intense geomagnetic storm with the ejection of plasma from the Sun which in addition to being truly spectacular (with lights floating in the sky) would have caused rare anomalies in the operation of some electronic devices. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 15, 2024 n°: 5644 Generative AI-powered search engine The developers of applications based on generative artificial intelligence have reportedly announced the planning of a search engine that takes advantage of the innovative features of this questionable technology which apparently from the first statements allows better searches on the internet by overcoming interference. In the meantime complaints have multiplied about the use of copyrighted material without authorization (and obviously without present or future gratification or compensation) to feed the immeasurable computer memory one could say "thinking" of generative artificial intelligence, then some have referred to 1984 with advertising campaigns of a well-known computer manufacturer that also talk about the commitment against a dystopian future, but now it has become this dystopian future itself. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 11, 2024 n°: 5641 Don't let be governed by artificial intelligence To safeguard human rights, protect personal data and monitor the risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence more than one hundred and twenty countries have decided in a document that it is preferable to choose to govern artificial intelligence rather than let be governed by it. Improper use, the planning of malicious attacks, the development of artificial intelligence applications could undermine the promotion and enjoyment of fundamental rights and basic freedoms; then there is the risk of weakening the security of countries and their protection systems, of influencing elections, of depriving entire social classes of their jobs. It is one of the attempts to control a technology that does not seem to be very human-scale, but almost made to replace human intelligence, the imagination and creativity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 23, 2024 n°: 5602 A European law on artificial intelligence A European regulation would have been approved [still not came into force] that seeks to regulate applications based on artificial intelligence that violate the rights of citizens, for example not to be recognized by facial images taken with cameras and processed by algorithms, then the analysis of biometric and sensitive data; this is the first time that action has been taken in this thorny area. In the meantime generative artificial intelligence developers continue to strengthen the sector with agreements with important and authoritative French and Spanish media, but there is no shortage of controversy over possible copyright abuses with articles used without consent, not to mention that even a company that builds chips that support artificial intelligence was recently accused of using books to train neural networks without consent. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 14, 2024 n°: 5594 Artificial Intelligence video development By writing a text it will be possible to instantly get a short video of generative artificial intelligence in response (but this feature is not yet available to the public), at least according to the developers of this questionable technology which surprised observers of the experiment with the high quality of the automatically generated video and who also raised fears about the ethical and social consequences. Recently during the elections in Indonesia some complained about the presence of a video judged to be misleading made with artificial intelligence to influence the vote visible on a social network. Finally, this time in the United States, there is the controversy over the exaggerated use of social networks by a young audience sometimes with serious health consequences so much so that cases of serious addiction have been cited in New York. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 17, 2024 n°: 5572 Artificial intelligence of little use for the climate Many people use artificial intelligence thinking that it can be useful to combat climate change with applications that make the best use of available resources, but they do not take into account that any request to servers and data centers that support neural networks requires large amounts of energy to operate; some say that in the case of extensive use of generative artificial intelligence which is needed for example to activate the functions of new small devices that could replace smartphones coal-fired power plants will also have to be used. Other risks derive from computer models attacks and the possible use of artificial intelligence in elections to influence the vote as has already happened in previous cases with social networks, but at a much higher level of sophistication with images that simulate reality almost perfectly. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 29, 2024 n°: 5555 Artificial intelligence for news, images, voices A generative AI-based and partly real news channel is expected to be launched in March in the United States, is talking about personalized news depending on the interests and preferences of readers; then there is the increasingly widespread use in general of images manipulated with programs supported by computerized neural networks, without considering the use of the voices of deceased actors who act with the intervention of artificial intelligence. It is estimated that in the near future about sixty percent of human activities will be affected by the intervention of artificial intelligence. Of note changing the subject but remaining on technological issues the discovery in France of a vast deposit of natural "white" hydrogen in Lorraine, the so-called green one requires the use of energy obtained from the sun or wind. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 18, 2024 n°: 5546 Technology and publications * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
