A pretty dramatic story out of Baltimore today which reveals what may be the first hate hoax perpetrated with the help of artificial intelligence. The principal of Pikesville High School, Eric Eiswert, was accused in January of making blatantly racist comments behind closed doors after an inflammatory audio file was posted on a popular Instagram account.In the recording, the person speaking refers to “ungrateful Black kids who can’t test their way out of a paper bag.”The speaker goes on to question how hard it is to get those students to meet grade-level expectations. He uses names of people who appear...

A Maryland high school teacher was arrested after he allegedly used artificial intelligence to create phony audio, planting racist and antisemitic words into the voice of his boss, officials said Thursday.

Like millions of people in the US, artificial intelligence was just something Dianne Balon read about on the news. Little did she know the tech would come to save her life. Despite being a picture of health, an AI-powered blood test in 2022 revealed that one of the world's deadliest cancers was silently forming in Ms Balon's pancreas. It caught the tumor in its earliest form, before it had the chance to grow and spread, which is when the vast majority of pancreatic cancers are caught - at which point it's too late. The results of the test provided a...

You've met America's 'worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard, and now meet the woman who may be the country's worst sheriff. Rochelle Bilal is currently the deputy sheriff for the City and County of Philadelphia, and has been for the last four years - but she has recently been embroiled in scandal, including frivolous spending, maintaining a secret 'slush fund,' and allegedly losing 76 guns from her department. Bilal's campaign team also came forward and acknowledged that 30 fake positive 'news' stories posted to their site were generated by ChatGPT after the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that outlets could not find the stories...

The 'Automated Treat Machine' at the South Broad Street store dispenses free treats when pups step on a motion-detecting pad.

Broad St., has debuted a dog ATM — which stands for Automated Treat Machine because it dispenses free biscuits to furry friends.

From the academic who warns of a robot uprising to the workers worried for their future – is it time we started paying attention to the tech sceptics? Eliezer Yudkowsky, a 44-year-old academic wearing a grey polo shirt, rocks slowly on his office chair and explains with real patience – taking things slowly for a novice like me – that every single person we know and love will soon be dead. They will be murdered by rebellious self-aware machines. “The difficulty is, people do not realise,” Yudkowsky says mildly, maybe sounding just a bit frustrated, as if irritated by a...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has opened up about her own horrifying experience of becoming the victim of AI-generated deepfake porn — warning that it is “not as imaginary as people want to make it seem.” The Queens Democrat said she was scrolling through X while talking about legislation with her aides in a car in February when she came face to face with the AI-generated image of herself performing a sex act. “There’s a shock to seeing images of yourself that someone could think are real,” Ocasio-Cortez told Rolling Stone. “As a survivor of physical sexual assault, it adds a level...

An artificial intelligence-powered chatbot created by New York City to help small business owners is under criticism for dispensing bizarre advice that misstates local policies and advises companies to violate the law. In responses to questions posed Wednesday, the chatbot falsely suggested it is legal for an employer to fire a worker who complains about sexual harassment, doesn’t disclose a pregnancy or refuses to cut their dreadlocks. Contradicting two of the city’s signature waste initiatives, it claimed that businesses can put their trash in black garbage bags and are not required to compost. At times, the bot’s answers veered into...

Artificial intelligence will lead to fewer employees at companies in most sectors, according to an exhaustive survey of executives by the Swiss staffing company The Adecco Group (OTCPK:AHEXY). The survey found 41% of companies expect fewer people employed at their organization in five years due to AI and generative AI. What's more, only 46% of employers plan to redeploy workers internally if their jobs are displaced by AI. The survey, "Leading through the great disruption 2024," involved 2,000 C-suite executives spanning nine countries. It was conducted in collaboration with Oxford Economics. The study's authors suggest companies should take a "human-centric...

We're not really sure how to categorize the latest craziness out of the state of Washington. Is it government incompetence? The dangers of artificial intelligence? 'Come to Seattle for hot, sexy singles'? Maybe we should just go with 'all of the above.' (OK, not that last one, that wasn't nice.) Yes, just when you thought the state that brought us 'CHAZ' back in 2020 couldn't get any more batpoop insane, a new report from local radio host Jason Rantz shows us that Washington has not yet begun to plumb the depths of its depravity. EXCLUSIVE: Washington Lottery was forced to...

There’s this meme that’s been cracking everyone up online. It jokes that AI isn’t some next-level tech marvel. Instead, picture this: 5,000 people in India, just sitting around, answering all our queries. It’s a funny take on the whole AI scene and pokes fun at the idea that maybe, just maybe, the big players like Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the government are pulling one over on us.

2016 meddling was 'primitive' compared to what's aheadWhen it comes to AI possibly influencing elections, 2024 will be "ground zero," according to Hillary Clinton. This will be a huge election year, with more than four billion people on this planet eligible to vote in one poll or another. The output of generative AI in all this politics, at least, is expected to be unavoidable in 2024; deepfake images, falsified audio, and such software-imagined stuff are likely to be used in attempts to sway or put off voters, undermine people's confidence in election processes, and sow division. That's not to...
