Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Nyt se alkaa. “Toimialoista eniten työpaikkoja karsitaan tekoälyn takia todennäköisesti mediasta ja viihteestä, pankki- ja vakuutusalalta sekä tavaroiden hankinnasta, varastoinnista ja kuljetuksesta. Teknologia ja -rakennusalalla tekoälyn vaikutukset ovat vähäisimpiä, kertoi Financial Times maanantaina.”

AiDash, which uses AI to search satellite images to spot fire and weather risks on power lines, raised a $50M Series C led by Lightrock
Startup AiDash raises $50 million for tech using AI, satellites to spot wildfire risk
https://www.reuters.com/technology/startup-aidash-raises-50-million-tech-using-ai-satellites-spot-wildfire-risk-2024-01-23/
A California startup using artificial intelligence (AI) and satellites to spot fire and weather risks on power lines, AiDash, reported on Tuesday it had raised $50 million in new funding, reflecting Silicon Valley efforts to create products that help energy companies adapt to climate change.
Power utilities are under pressure to cut risks of forest fires and storm-based outages after massive fires have been sparked by power lines and weather events brought down lines. At the same time, loads on the grid are likely to rise as electricity displaces fossil fuel in applications such as electric vehicles and home heat pumps.
Hundreds of startups and small companies offer services and technology aimed at improving forest management, forest-fire spotting and response and other wildfire and forest-fire services, data from researcher PitchBook shows.
AiDash uses AI to search satellite images for problems and changes along power utility electric transmission lines, such as where vegetation has grown and whether trees are encroaching on lines.

MICROSOFT CEO HORRIFIED BY AI-GENERATED TAYLOR SWIFT IMAGES
https://futurism.com/the-byte/microsoft-ceo-horrified-by-ai-generated-taylor-swift-images
In a Friday interview with NBC, Nadella argued that it was “our responsibility” to “move fast” and introduce more “guardrails” to make sure that “more safe content” is being produced.
“I think we can govern a lot more than we think we give ourselves credit for,” he added.
That last argument is especially pertinent, considering Microsoft itself was heavily implicated in the Swift debacle. Last week, 404 Media reported that users on 4chan and Telegram used simple workarounds to fool Microsoft’s AI image generator Designer to produce fake and explicit images.

Jan 29 (Reuters) – Social-media company X lifted the ban on searches for Taylor Swift Monday evening, after blocking users from searching for her following the spread of fake sexually-explicit images of the pop singer on the social media site last week.
The search has been reactivated and the social media platform “will continue to be vigilant for any attempt to spread this content and will remove it if we find it,” Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, said in a statement on Monday

Having used some of the novel natural language AI services, we know that the usability leaves a lot of room for improvement. In this article, we’ll give you a few pointers on where to get started to build the toolkit you need to design usable and trustworthy AI services.
