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,”

Generatiivinen tekoäly kiinnostaa autonvalmistajia entistä enemmän. Volkswagenin perään autotekniikan kehittäjäyritys Bosch kertoi lähtevänsä generatiivisen tekoälyn yhteistyöhön Microsoftin kanssa. Yritys haluaa lisätä tulevaisuudessa generatiivisen tekoälyn käyttöä autonomisen ajamisen turvallisuuslaitteissa.
”Bosch haluaa tuoda tekoälysovellusten uuden ulottuvuuden ajoneuvoihin”, kertoi äsken Boschin hallituksen puheenjohtaja Stefan Hartung yrityksen Berliinissä järjestetyssä Connected World (BCW) -tapahtumassa. Yhteistyön tavoitteena on kehittää järjestelmiä, joissa generatiivisen tekoälyn avulla uudet ajoneuvot oppivat arvioimaan automaattisesti erilaisia tilanteita ja reagoimaan niiden mukaisesti.

Jos haluat riskirahaa, kehitä tekoälyä
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/15941-jos-haluat-riskirahaa-kehitae-tekoaelyae
Tekoälyä kehittävät startupit keräsivät viime vuonna 25,5 miljardia dollaria riskirahaa sijoittajilta. Tänä vuonna tahti on vain kiihtynyt. Stocklyticsin keräämien tietojen mukaan tekoälyn startupit ovat keränneet jo 5,7 miljardia dollaria tähän mennessä.
Summa on lähes 40 % enemmän kuin vuoden 2023 koko ensimmäisellä neljänneksellä. Vuodesta 2020 lähtien AI-markkinat ovat lähes kolminkertaistuneet, ja sen odotetaan saavuttavan 305 miljardin dollarin liikevaihdon ja 315 miljoonaa käyttäjää tänä vuonna. Tämä on tietysti syy siihen, että sijoittajat uskovat uusiin tekoäly-yrityksiin.
Crunchbasen tietojen mukaan 2021 on edelleen ennätysvuosi rahoituksen hankinnassa tekoälyn startup-markkinoilla. Pelkästään sinä vuonna tekoälyn alueella työskentelevät startup-yritykset keräsivät huimat 49,6 miljardia dollaria, mikä on yli kaksinkertainen verrattuna vuotta aiemmin raportoituihin lukuihin.

The EU Parliament approves the AI Act, voting 523 in favor and 46 against, despite competition fears; the Act, born in 2021, puts AI tech into risk categories
World’s first major act to regulate AI passed by the European parliament
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/13/european-lawmakers-endorse-worlds-first-major-act-to-regulate-ai.html
The European Union Parliament on Wednesday approved the world’s first major set of regulatory ground rules to govern the mediatized artificial intelligence at the forefront of tech investment.
Born in 2021, the EU AI Act divides the technology into categories of risk, ranging from “unacceptable” — which would see the technology banned — to high, medium and low hazard.
The European Union’s parliament on Wednesday endorsed the world’s first major set of regulatory ground rules to govern the mediatized artificial intelligence at the forefront of tech investment.
The EU brokered provisional political consensus in early December, and it was then endorsed in the Parliament’s Wednesday session, with 523 votes in favour, 46 against and 49 votes not cast.
“Europe is NOW a global standard-setter in AI,” Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for internal market, wrote on X.
President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, described the act as trail-blazing, saying it would enable innovation, while safeguarding fundamental rights.
“Artificial intelligence is already very much part of our daily lives. Now, it will be part of our legislation too,” she wrote in a social media post.
Dragos Tudorache, a lawmaker who oversaw EU negotiations of the agreement, hailed the agreement, but noted that the biggest hurdle remains implementation.
Born in 2021, the EU AI Act divides the technology into categories of risk, ranging from “unacceptable” — which would see the technology banned — to high, medium and low hazard.
The EU has been scrambling to keep pace with the consumer impact of tech developments and the market supremacy of key players.
Last week, the Union brought into force landmark competition legislation set to rein in U.S. giants. Under the Digital Markets Act, the EU can crack down on anti-competitive practices from major tech companies and force them to open out their services in sectors where their dominant position has stifled smaller players and choked freedom of choice for users. Six firms — U.S. titans Alphabet
, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft and China’s Bytedance — have been put on notice as so-called “gatekeepers.”

US Spearheads First UN Resolution on Artificial Intelligence
https://www.securityweek.com/us-spearheads-first-un-resolution-on-artificial-intelligence/
The US is spearheading the first United Nations resolution on artificial intelligence, aimed at ensuring the new technology is “safe, secure and trustworthy” and that all countries have equal access.
The United States is spearheading the first United Nations resolution on artificial intelligence, aimed at ensuring the new technology is “safe, secure and trustworthy” and that all countries, especially those in the developing world, have equal access.
The draft General Assembly resolution aims to close the digital divide between countries and make sure they are all at the table in discussions on AI — and that they have the technology and capabilities to take advantage of its benefits, including detecting diseases, predicting floods and training the next generation of workers.
The draft recognizes the rapid acceleration of AI development and use and stresses “the urgency of achieving global consensus on safe, secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems.” It also recognizes that “the governance of artificial intelligence systems is an evolving area” that needs further discussions on possible governance approaches.
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the United States turned to the General Assembly “to have a truly global conversation on how to manage the implications of the fast-advancing technology of AI.”

When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced GPTs, custom chatbots powered by OpenAI’s generative AI models, onstage at the company’s first-ever developer conference in November, he described them as a way to “accomplish all sorts of tasks” — from programming to learning about esoteric scientific subjects to getting workout pointers.
“Because [GPTs] combine instructions, expanded knowledge and actions, they can be more helpful to you,” Altman said. “You can build a GPT … for almost anything.”
He wasn’t kidding about the anything part.
TechCrunch found that the GPT Store, OpenAI’s official marketplace for GPTs, is flooded with bizarre, potentially copyright-infringing GPTs that imply a light touch where it concerns OpenAI’s moderation efforts. A cursory search pulls up GPTs that purport to generate art in the style of Disney and Marvel properties, but serve as little more than funnels to third-party paid services, and advertise themselves as being able to bypass AI content detection tools such as Turnitin and Copyleaks.

Wikipedia No Longer Considers CNET a “Generally Reliable” Source After AI Scandal
“It’s infuriating that Red Ventures’ decisions have undermined the quality work done by CNET’s writers, editors and producers.”
https://futurism.com/wikipedia-cnet-unreliable-ai
Remember last year, when we reported that the Red Ventures-owned CNET had been quietly publishing dozens of AI-generated articles that turned out to be filled with errors and plagiarism?
The revelation kicked off a fiery debate about the future of the media in the era of AI — as well as an equally passionate discussion among editors of Wikipedia, who needed to figure out how to treat CNET content going forward.
“CNET, usually regarded as an ordinary tech [reliable source], has started experimentally running AI-generated articles, which are riddled with errors,” a Wikipedia editor named David Gerard wrote to kick off a January 2023 discussion thread in Wikipedia’s Reliable Sources forum, where editors convene to decide whether a given source is trustworthy enough for editors to cite.
“So far the experiment is not going down well, as it shouldn’t,” Gerard continued, warning that “any of these articles that make it into a Wikipedia article need to be removed.”
