‘An AI Fukushima is inevitable’: scientists discuss technology’s immense potential and dangers
Ian Sample
_A huge challenge for researchers is the black box problem: many AIs can reach decisions but not explain them, making the systems hard to trust. But that may be about to change, Hassabis said, through the equivalent of brain scans for AIs. “I think in the next five years we’ll be out of this era that we’re currently in of black boxes.”_

🔴 AI feels like an unstoppable force. But it is not a panacea for businesses or society
Akhil Bhardwaj
Anastasia Sergeeva
"But more worryingly, AI can diminish human capabilities to the extent that the ability to determine when to intervene might be lost. Researchers have found that use of AI leads to skill decay – a particular concern where workplace decisions involve life-or-death consequences."

🔴 🇳🇱 📚 Dutch publisher to use AI to translate ‘limited number of books’ into English
“Taking the translator out of the loop opens the door to incorrect or misleading translations that will serve readers poorly,” said David McKay, a literary translator who translates from Dutch into English. He added that while it is understandable that publishers want to use new technologies to “increase their efficiency”, VBK’s plans “sound very reckless”.

🔴 Eating the Unspeakable: The Bible and Current Politics on Immigration
"The rumor of immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio goes in a slightly different direction but with the same aim: stoking virulent and violent xenophobia. The horror and hate that false claim evokes comes from the idea not only of immigrants eating cats and dogs but also “stealing the pets” of American households."

🔴 When It Comes to Emergency Care, ChatGPT Overprescribes
"Williams said the AI’s tendency to overprescribe could be because the models are trained on the internet, where legitimate medical advice sites aren’t designed to answer emergency medical questions but rather to send readers to a doctor who can."

⭐ Data centre emissions are soaring – it’s AI or the climate
"AI models consume a lot of electricity, and the World Economic Forum estimated in April that the computer power dedicated to AI is doubling every 100 days. Powering this boom in the US, where many AI tech pioneers are based, have been revitalised gas power plants once slated for closure."

🔴 Bigger AI chatbots more inclined to spew nonsense — and people don’t always realize
In other words, the chatbots’ tendency to offer opinions beyond their own knowledge has increased. “That looks to me like what we would call bullshitting,” says Mike Hicks, a philosopher of science and technology at the University of Glasgow, UK, who proposes the term ‘ultracrepidarianism’ to describe the phenomenon2. “It’s getting better at pretending to be knowledgeable.”
