Some interesting links that I Tweeted about in the last week (I also post these on Mastodon, Threads, Newsmast and Post):
- A startup developing tools for AI to recognise African languages. When will we have the same kind of tools for Pacific languages as well? https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/11/17/1083637/lelapa-ai-african-languages-vulavula/artificial intelligence
- An AI chemist evaluating catalysts to use in generating oxygen on Mars: https://interestingengineering.com/science/ai-mars-oxygen-from-ice
- A new artificial intelligence model from DeepMind predicts weather better than conventional models, without the need for supercomputers: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03552-y
- AI can now do the bulk of the initial work in designing semiconductors: https://spectrum.ieee.org/how-will-ai-change-semiconductors
- If artificial intelligence does take more and more jobs, I don't think a robot tax is the way to fund a universal basic income. Instead, a general capital tax on the wealthy is needed, to reduce economic disparity before it turns into social instability: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/nov/16/ai-is-coming-for-our-jobs-could-universal-basic-income-be-the-solution
- First they sack him https://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/301011200/shock-exit-for-boss-of-chatgpt-maker-openai-after-being-dumped-by-the-board now they want him back https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/18/23967199/breaking-openai-board-in-discussions-with-sam-altman-to-return-as-ceo What on earth is going on at OpenAI?
- While generative AI like ChaptGPT might be getting all the attention in artificial intelligence, smart autonomous agents are becoming more widespread: https://www.informationweek.com/machine-learning-ai/the-rise-of-autonomous-ai-agents
- The increasing power demands of artificial intelligence are increasing the carbon emissions generated by the technology. Time to locate the data centres in places like New Zealand, the produce almost all of their electricity from renewables? https://www.nextplatform.com/2023/11/17/pushing-the-limits-of-hpc-and-ai-is-becoming-a-sustainability-headache/
- So YouTube now requires AI generated content to be labelled as such. But how will they know if it's generated? https://blog.youtube/inside-youtube/our-approach-to-responsible-ai-innovation/
- But will YouTube's new music generation tool also flag everything it generates as AI produced? https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/17/youtube_generative_ai/
- My last postdoc certainly didn't broaden my skills much, I was mostly treated as a highly-qualified code monkey: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03544-y

- Why am I not surprised that it's Meta that broke up its up responsible AI group? https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/18/23966980/meta-disbanded-responsible-ai-team-artificial-intelligence
- Students don't want to have to go to the expense and effort to attend class physically. Institutions need to adjust to this new reality: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/victoria-university-students-win-fight-over-attending-lectures-no-longer-have-to-turn-up-in-person/JY3COFXKMZGAVJUT7XGYHJLBY4/

- Most of the most powerful artificial intelligence technology is controlled by large corporations. I think expecting them to show empathy is a bit of a fool's errand: https://www.informationweek.com/machine-learning-ai/to-ai-hell-and-back-finding-salvation-through-empathy
