\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson.

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety.

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right.

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise.

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson.

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety.

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities.

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right.

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology.

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models.

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models.

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12644,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:06:42","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:42","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety.

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson.

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them.

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12644,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:06:42","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:42","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models.

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models.

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12644,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:06:42","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:42","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities.

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12644,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:06:42","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:42","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12644,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:06:42","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:42","post_content":"\n

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise.

MI6 Chief Richard Moore claim in a public speech<\/a> in Prague that AI cannot replicate human intelligence gathering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models.

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Moore clarified that MI6 considers that the \"opposite is likely to be true,\"<\/em> and that \"the unique characteristics of human agents in the right places will become still more significant.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore acknowledged the potential for AI to surpass certain aspects of human cognition, possibly faster than anticipated. However, he firmly stated that AI could never replace the \"extraordinary bond\" as crucial in humans in intelligence gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My teams are now using AI to augment \u2013 but not replace \u2013 their judgment about how people might act in various situations.\"<\/em> He added, \"They are combining their skills with AI and bulk data to identify and disrupt the flow of weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Use of Other Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Moore warned about Russia and China's accelerated AI development to advance their geopolitical objectives, which urges the West to address this threat seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Moore revisited his concerns, particularly regarding China. He accused Beijing of extensively gathering data domestically and abroad to fuel its AI ambitions. For instance, Moore highlighted how China used the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines as a pretext to collect data from recipient nations, creating a risky \"data trap\"<\/em> that poses national security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges brought by AI, Moore emphasized that MI6 is actively employing the technology to detect and prevent weapons trafficking to Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n","post_title":"MI6 Chief Asserts AI Cannot 'Replace' Human Spies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mi6-chief-asserts-ai-cannot-replace-human-spies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:06:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:06:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12644","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12646,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-22 00:05:33","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:33","post_content":"\n

According to The New York Times<\/a>, Google is pushing its newly developed AI tool in Newsrooms to assist journalists in creating articles. Google demonstrated their tool for executives at The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This content tool, currently called Genesis, can reportedly produce news, including current events, based on information from sources with The New York Times. <\/em>Google believes this tool can be a personal assistant for journalists by automating some tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we\u2019re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide AI-enabled tools to help journalists with their work,\u201d<\/em> said Jenn Crider; A Google Spokesperson. She added that \u201cOur goal is to give journalists the choice of using these emerging technologies that enhance their work and productivity, just like we\u2019re making assistive tools available for people in Gmail and in Google Docs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bosses of those journalists may view the technology as a replacement<\/a> for their employees instead of a tool for them. Earlier this year, CNET started producing articles with generative AI, which didn't work well for the company. More than half of the articles created by AI required corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s new tool, as described, had potential upsides and downsides<\/em>. If this technology can deliver factual information reliably, journalists should use the tool,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor and media commentator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objections About Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new tool from Google, which generates AI-written articles without fact-checking or thorough editing, could spread misinformation and cause anxiety. Content creators and publishers have already criticised Google and other major A.I. companies for using their articles and posts to train A.I. systems without Writers' consent.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Is Testing An AI tool, That Can Write News Articles To Assist Journalists","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-is-testing-an-ai-tool-that-can-write-news-articles-to-assist-journalists","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-22 00:05:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-21 14:05:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12646","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12614,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-19 15:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:39","post_content":"\n

Microsoft and Meta, two of the world\u2019s leading tech companies, have introduced LLama 2, an open-sourced large language model for generative AI applications. The announcement was made during Microsoft\u2019s annual partner conference, Microsoft Inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 are a family of LLMs with different sizes of models suited to different applications. Unlike some competing AI models, LLama 2 is available as an open-source tool to everyone free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the decision to make their latest AI model open-sourced,\u00a0Meta released<\/a> the following statement\u00a0-\u00a0\u201cWe believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today\u2019s AI models. By making AI models available openly, they can benefit everyone, giving businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, and researchers access to tools developed at a scale that would be challenging to build themselves, backed by computing power they might not otherwise access,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLama 2 is the latest invention to come out of the partnership between Meta and Microsoft, which started with their collaboration on the deep-learning framework PyTorch. \u201cToday\u2019s announcement builds on our partnership to accelerate innovation in the era of AI and further extends Microsoft\u2019s open model ecosystem and position as the world\u2019s supercomputing platform for AI.\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>said<\/a> John Montgomery,<\/a>\u00a0the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Azure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model is available for download via Meta\u2019s launch partners Microsoft Azure, Hugging Face, and Amazon Web Services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meta And Microsoft Launch LLama 2; A Free-To-Use AI Model","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meta-and-microsoft-launch-llama-2-a-free-to-use-ai-model","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2023\/07\/llama-2\/","post_modified":"2023-07-19 15:45:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-19 05:45:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12614","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};
