Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) could hold the key to hiding your personal photos from unwanted facial recognition software and fraudsters, all without destroying the image quality.A new study from Georgia Tech university, published July 19 to the pre-print arXiv database, details how researchers created an AI model called "Chameleon," which can produce a digital "single, personalized…

Yoshua Bengio is a professor of computer science at the University of Montreal. Yoshua Bengio has also been dubbed a "godfather" of AI. Associated Press Yoshua Bengio also earned the "godfather of AI" nickname after winning the Turing Award with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun.Bengio's research primarily focuses on artificial neural networks, deep learning, and…

Modern factories, supply chains and Amazon have turned 'stuff' into a commodity. The same inevitable supply-and-demand dynamic could wash over us again with generative AI.The ultimate outcome may be a new limited-edition luxury item: Humans. "Live experiences are the new luxury good," Kevin Hartz said in 2013 when Eventbrite, the ticketing startup he cofounded, got a big new…

AWS faces competition from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google in AI, risking its cloud dominance.It offers new financial incentives for AI sales. That comes with higher pressure and new demands.AWS CEO Matt Garman wants his teams to move even faster.This summer, Amazon Web Services rolled out a new internal campaign.The initiative, called "Find One, Launch One,…

Scientists have given artificial intelligence (AI) the capacity to "feel" surfaces for the first time — opening up a new dimension for deploying the technology in the real world.Tapping into quantum science, the scientists combined a photon-firing scanning laser with a new AI model trained to tell the difference between different surfaces imaged with the…

Researchers have found that people react negatively to artistic works generated by artificial intelligence (AI) — even if they were actually created by humans — revealing an innate bias against machine-created art.In an age of constant worry over whether AI will spell the end of many professions — including in creative fields like writing and…

Every time generative artificial intelligence drafts an e-mail or conjures up an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone; a single exchange with ChatGPT can heat up a server so much that it requires a bottle's worth of water to cool. At scale, these…

One of the key areas that artificial intelligence (AI) threatens to disrupt is human creativity — and the rise of generative AI has certainly thrown art into the spotlight. While fears remain that AI may replace human input and agency across society, a different approach suggests humans will meld with AI in some capacity —…

Amazon announced another $4 billion investment in AI startup Anthropic on Friday.The deal includes an agreement for Anthropic to use Amazon's AI chips more. The cloud giant is trying to challenge Nvidia and get developers to switch away from those GPUs.Amazon's Trainium chips are about to get a lot busier. At least that's what Amazon…

Players of "Pokémon Go" — an augmented reality (AR) mobile game that took the world by storm upon its release in 2016 — have been unkowingly training an artificial intelligence (AI) model to map the planet at street level.Niantic, the company behind the popular game, has revealed that it will use data scraped from its…
