Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are supercharging the problem of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and various image, voice, and video generators have made it easier than ever to produce content, while making it harder to tell what is factual or real. Malicious actors looking to spread disinformation can use AI ...
As the world rushes to make use of the latest wave of AI technologies, one piece of high-tech hardware has become a surprisingly hot commodity: the graphics processing unit, or GPU. A top-of-the-line GPU can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, and leading manufacturer NVIDIA has seen its market valuation soar past US$2 trillion ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere. Currently, generative AI, in particular — tools like Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini (previously Bard), and others — is at the peak of hype. But as an academic discipline, this technology has been around for much longer than just the last couple of years. When it comes to real-world applications, many ...
With the rapid intensification of natural disasters in recent years brought by the worsening climate change, scientists and experts are cramming to create technologies that could predict the onslaught of natural calamities to help people better prepare and limit the destruction they bring. There are now expectations that artificial intelligence (AI) will one day be ...
Federal Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic announced the Australian government’s response to the Safe and Responsible AI in Australia consultation. The response addresses feedback from last year’s consultation on artificial intelligence (AI). It received more than 500 submissions, noting “excitement for the opportunities” of AI tools, but also raising concerns about potential risks ...
In 2023, artificial intelligence (AI) truly entered our daily lives. The latest data shows four in five teenagers in the United Kingdom are using generative AI tools. About two-thirds of Australian employees report using generative AI for work. At first, many people used these tools because they were curious about generative AI or wanted to ...
AI is already being used in health care. It can look for patterns in medical images to help diagnose disease. It can help predict who in a hospital ward might deteriorate. It can rapidly summarize medical research papers to help doctors stay up-to-date with the latest evidence. These are examples of AI making or shaping ...
As artificial intelligence (AI) reaches the peak of its popularity, researchers have warned the industry might be running out of training data — the fuel that runs powerful AI systems. This could slow down the growth of AI models, especially large language models, and may even alter the trajectory of the AI revolution. But why ...
Artificial intelligence is changing the world — and one of the main areas it will affect in the short-to-medium term is jobs in the workforce. AI algorithms imitate real-world systems. The more repetitive a system is, the easier it is for AI to replace it. That’s why jobs in customer service, retail, and clerical roles ...
The world is infatuated with artificial intelligence (AI), and for good reason. AI systems can process vast quantities of data in a seemingly superhuman way similar to your brain. However, current AI systems rely on computers running complex algorithms based on artificial neural networks. These use huge amounts of energy, and use even more energy ...
