AI Granny and Her Cat Fluffy Go After Phone Spammers
Add this to the AI for good category: A UK mobile phone company created a digital AI granny called Daisy to stop spam callers by keeping them online for longer periods of time to prevent them from calling more people who.
The chatty chatbot, created by O2 and modeled after some of the bot developers’ grandmothers, is the latest addition to O2’s fraud prevention team, the phone company said in a statement. Posts about Daisy. You can also watch a minute-and-a-half-long video of Daisy in action, in which she says: “Hello, liar. I’m your worst nightmare.”
O2 describes her as “completely indistinguishable from a real person” and says Daisy can “interact with the con artist in real time without any input from her creators.” She pretends not to be tech-savvy, talks about her cat “Fluffy”, and Often “wasting as much of their time as possible talking nonsense like humans”, one managed to keep the scammer on the phone for 40 minutes.
While artificial intelligence helped the U.S. government recover $1 billion in check fraud losses over the past year, consumers around the world are losing money to online fraud, according to CNN’s Global Anti-Fraud Alliance Over $1 trillion. report.
Here are other things to watch out for in the field of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence puts pressure on Generation Z
Another week, another dozen reports on what people think about AI and how companies are integrating generative AI into the workplace. I only shouted out a few.
First, Gallup The study found that nearly two-thirds of chief human resources officers at Fortune 500 companies said artificial intelligence will “start replacing roles in their organizations within the next three years.” At the same time, the research firm pointed to the issue of upskilling, or how many companies are/are not investing in AI training programs. According to Gallup, most employees feel “that they are not skilled enough to do their jobs today and do not receive the encouragement they need to prepare for the future.” According to the Gallup survey, this may be because only about four One in 10 U.S. workers feel their company encourages them to learn new skills.
Intuit Takes a more optimistic view on the future of employment and identifies the AI jobs that are most in demand. Unsurprisingly, eight of them are engineering-related: artificial intelligence engineer, computer vision engineer, machine learning engineer, data engineer, deep learning engineer, robotics engineer, software engineer, and natural language processing (NLP) engineer. But Intuit adds that companies also need data scientists and business intelligence experts to create and manage dashboards, reports and data visualization tools. Additionally, employers will be looking for product managers who can oversee the rollout of AI tools and services, as well as AI ethics experts who can help develop ethical frameworks and guidelines.
at the same time, atlas A survey of 5,000 “knowledge workers” in the United States, Australia, France, Germany and India identified five AI “mindsets.” Nine percent of respondents said they believe AI is “useless” in the workplace. People known as Stage 1 thinkers (about 29% of respondents) describe AI as “a tool that they can use sometimes, but only to complete specific tasks.” Stage 2 thinkers (30%) see AI as a personal assistant that can help them get their jobs done. Stage 3 thinkers (i.e., 21% of employees surveyed) view AI as a “creative partner,” while 12% belonging to Stage 4 describe AI as something like “that can enhance decision-making.” Capable team of experts.” Today, most workers are in phases two and three, Atlassian said.
Last but not least, professional writing service EduBirdie asked Gen Z users what they think of artificial intelligence as part of an ongoing series of studies. investigation. A survey of 2,000 people shows that Gen Z ranks artificial intelligence as one of their biggest worries, after worrying about global war, climate, major economic collapse and another pandemic. The survey asked respondents to describe what causes them stress. Ten percent said they were concerned about artificial intelligence “taking over and harming humans.” The research result is here. It’s unclear how many Gen Zers have seen “Terminator.”
Kissinger says artificial intelligence can help people — and governments have guardrails
First of all, Henry Kissinger is dead (yes, I borrowed that line from Dickens).
But that didn’t stop him from sharing some of his final thoughts by recreating a diplomat’s voice using the ElevenLabs AI voice simulator. This is actually appropriate because this technology is expressing Kissinger’s thoughts on artificial intelligence, as he wrote in his final book, Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit. The book, co-written by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Microsoft chief research officer Craig Mundie, explores artificial intelligence and its “impact on humanity” “Profound Impact,” you can “hear” the voices of Kissinger and his feisty co-authors throughout this book. 12 minutes video Genesis Promotions.
Kissinger, who served as President Richard Nixon’s secretary of state, warned that through artificial intelligence, people are gaining control of a power beyond our comprehension. Still, he sees its potential—with the right guardrails. “Governments must create an environment in which ethical considerations and technological advances can advance in parallel,” Kissinger said. “If we create the right framework, artificial intelligence will have the potential to advance humanity and solve some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Come with great hope.”
Mundy and Schmidt also share their optimism and concerns, with important reminders that we—people—are creating artificial intelligence. notes Schmidt“The technology we are inventing has no value – it has no human value. It is just technology. It can be used for good and it can be used for evil. It is trained by human systems, human language, and human constructs.”
Also worth knowing…
A new administration will take office in January, and we’ll see how the United States treats AI. In a spoon, Axios report Last week, the Trump administration was “considering appointing an AI czar at the White House to coordinate federal policy and the government’s use of emerging technologies.” Axios adds that the czar will not be Trump adviser Elon Musk, who may have a say in who is chosen for the administration.
The Washington Post found in a small study of 50 doctors that GhatGPT did not actually improve doctors’ ability to diagnose patients’ illnesses compared with doctors “who only used traditional resources.” report. but study The Washington Post also found that “ChatGPT itself performed better than any group of doctors.”
