Controversies over AI-generated material spurred release of guidelines addressing transparency and historical accuracyOver a year after the dual Hollywood strikes put a spotlight on the industry’s adoption of AI, film-makers have often found themselves at a crossroads – how to use generative AI ethically, if at all? Where to draw the line on synthetic material? Documentary film-makers, in particular, have faced mounting concerns over “fake archival” materials such as AI-g

The software used to control a robot is normally highly adapted to its specific physical set up. But now researchers have created a single general-purpose robotic control policy that can operate robotic arms, wheeled robots, quadrupeds, and even drones. One of the biggest challenges when it comes to applying machine learning to robotics is the paucity of data. While computer vision and natural language processing can piggyback off the vast quantities of image and text data found on the Internet,

Move to use shared posts follows information commissioner concerns and sets collision course with EU over privacy Mark Zuckberg’s Meta is to go ahead with controversial plans to use millions of UK Facebook and Instagram posts to train its artificial intelligence (AI) technology, in a practice that is effectively outlawed under EU privacy laws.Meta said it had “engaged positively” with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) over the plan, after it paused similar propo

Competition authorities were too slow to stop tech giants from dominating Web 2.0. They can’t repeat that mistake with AIWhen a company triples in value in just a few months, as computer chip company Nvidia has, investors take notice. But regulators do too, because they know from experience how monopolies engage in illegal anti-competitive behavior that squashes competitors and manipulates the market to expand their dominance. The US Department of Justice (as well as other competition auth
