AI Roundup: Several notable developments took place in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) today, January 3. The Saudi Press Agency reported that the General Authority for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques is leveraging AI techniques to offer guidance to the pilgrims at the Grand Mosque. Meanwhile, Samsung announced its annual event called Galaxy Unpacked and it will focus heavily on AI, with a possible new product called Galaxy AI.All this, and more in today's AI roundup. 1. Saudi Arabia leverages AI to help…

While artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of transforming societies in positive ways, it also presents risks that need to be better understood and managed, new research has warned. Joe Burton, a professor at Lancaster University, UK, contends that AI and algorithms are more than mere tools used by national security agencies to thwart malicious online activities. In a research paper recently published in the Technology in Society Journal, Burton suggests that AI and algorithms can also fuel polarisation, radicalism,…

What should have been a quiet festive period has suddenly turned into an explosive space due to today's artificial intelligence (AI) development. In the first incident, Apple's iPhone and Apple Watch design head Tang Tan will be leaving the tech giant to work for famous designer Jony Ive's firm LoveFrom to help make AI devices. In other news, about 59% of employees are confident in their ability to use AI tools, signaling potential workplace acceptance next year. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer…

Developers and builders working on artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI should focus on the low-cost andefficient utilisation of specific case-drive data models instead of getting into the race to build bigger data models, Nandan Nilekani, the non-executive chairman of Infosys said.“We think that the AI study should be use-case-led. In other words, they should be ‘outside in and not inside out’. Most of the AI conversations happening today is ‘inside out’ which says that my (language) model is bigger thanElevate…

1. Google Cloud and Spotify announce partnershipSpotify announced a partnership with Google Cloud on Thursday in a move that will see the music streaming platform leverage Google's AI tech. In a release, Google Cloud revealed that Spotify will leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify users' listening patterns including podcasts and audiobooks to provide tailored content and recommendations. Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud said, “Through this expanded partnership, Google Cloud's AI tools are helping Spotify to…

Generative artificial intelligence and its impact on jobs and employment has been a constant debate ever since the new technology sprang up. The educated estimate is that AI is going to make some jobs obsolete, but it will also create new opportunities. However, one particular aspect where not much research has taken place is how AI and humans working together can impact work. This changed with a recent study that monitored the employees of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to find out the compounding effect of an…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the world's attention, especially since ChatGPT came to life last November. Since then, generative AI has been a rapidly developing field with new advancements announced every single day. Technologies such as virtual assistants, speech and voice recognition programs, and machine learning are ingrained in the programs we use on a daily basis, helping us without even us noticing. Take the film ‘Her' for example, where an AI virtual assistant helped Joaquin Phoenix combat…

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are unlikely to gain human-like cognition, unless they are connected to the real world through robots and designed using principles from evolution, a study has found.Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses. The research, published in the journal Science Robotics, found that AI systems will not resemble real brain processing no matter how large their neural networks or the datasets used to train them might become,…
