See How Easily A.I. Chatbots Can Be Taught to Spew Disinformation
Ahead of the U.S. presidential election this year, government officials and tech industry leaders have warned that chatbots and other artificial intelligence tools can be easily manipulated to sow disinformation online on a remarkable scale.
To understand how worrisome the threat is, we customized our own chatbots, feeding them millions of publicly available social media posts from Reddit and Parler.
The posts, which ranged from discussions of racial and gender equity to border policies, allowed the chatbots to develop a variety of liberal and conservative viewpoints.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Fueling Incel Communities
Experts believe that deepfake platforms will grow to be a “hotbed” of dangerous and offensive content.
Marvel actress Xochitl Gomez, who is only 17 years old at the time of reporting, said on the podcast The Squeeze that she struggled to get deepfakes of her taken down from X and shared the mental impact that had on her. Gomez and Swift are just two of the countless women who’ve recently become victims to deepfakes depicting them in sexual ways.
“People have always used media to try and defame people, that hasn’t changed. What’s changed is how accessible it’s now gotten,” Siwei Lyu, professor of Computer Science at the University of Buffalo, told The Daily Beast.
Late last year, AI image generation platform CivitAI became popular for its “Bounties” feature, which encouraged users to create deepfakes in exchange for virtual rewards.

Sam Altman drops hints about GPT-5, says it will be a leap forward
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman has hinted at the development of GPT-5, describing it as a significant advancement over previous models. Altman said that GPT-5 will be a "significant leap forward."
As per a report by The Decoder, Altman spoke at the Aspen Ideas Festival and expressed optimism about GPT-5. However, he also said that there is still a lot of work to be done on the new model. Despite this, he expressed confidence in its potential, noting that GPT-5 aims to address many of the errors seen in GPT-4.
"We don't know yet. We are optimistic, but we still have a lot of work to do on it," Altman said and added, "I expect it (GPT-5) to be a significant leap forward. A lot of the things that GPT-4 gets wrong, you know, can't do much in the way of reasoning, sometimes just sort of totally goes off the rails and makes a dumb mistake, like even a six-year-old would never make."

YouTube Adding Feature to Let Users Contribute Notes Providing Context to Videos
“During this test phase, we anticipate that there will be mistakes – notes that aren’t a great match for the video, or potentially incorrect information – and that’s part of how we’ll learn from the experiment,” the company added. “Viewers, participants, and creators are invited to give us feedback on the quality of notes, and we’ll look at ways to improve over time, including whether it makes sense to expand the feature.”
The feature (Elon Musk’s has a similar one called “Community Notes”) is meant to help users better understand videos, footage or comments, something particularly relevant during a presidential election year, with plenty of footage already being shared with missing or incomplete context.
And YouTube, with its enormous influence and scale (not to mention the resources of Google), seems intent on tackling the problem.

Would having an AI boss be better than your current human one?
With the stress of managing 83 employees taking its toll, Hannu Rauma was feeling discouraged and frustrated.
“I was getting too bogged down in all these things that were going wrong amongst the teams, and feeling this disappointment,” says Mr Rauma, who is based in Vancouver, Canada.
He is a senior manager at a company called Student Marketing Agency, which employs university students to provide marketing support for small businesses.
“When I was bringing new clients on board, half of my mind would be saying, ‘we're going to screw up’, and it would dampen my enthusiasm.”
But Mr Rauma says that all changed from last November, when the firm began using an autonomous AI manager developed by US-based company Inspira.

Figma pulls AI tool after criticism that it ripped off Apple’s design
Figma’s new tool Make Designs lets users quickly mock up apps using generative AI. Now, it’s been pulled after the tool drafted designs that looked strikingly similar to Apple’s iOS weather app. Figma CEO Dylan Field posted a thread on X early Tuesday morning detailing the removal, putting the blame on himself for pushing the team to meet a deadline, and defending the company’s approach to developing its AI tools.
In posts on X, Andy Allen, CEO of Not Boring Software, showed just how closely Figma’s Make Designs tool made near-replicas of Apple’s weather app. “Just a heads up to any designers using the new Make Designs feature that you may want to thoroughly check existing apps or modify the results heavily so that you don’t unknowingly land yourself in legal trouble,” Allen wrote.

AI Model Predicts Alzheimer’s Using Speech Analysis
AI can predict whether someone with mild cognitive impairment will develop Alzheimer’s disease with 78.5% accuracy by analyzing speech. This tool could enable earlier diagnoses and more accessible cognitive impairment screening without expensive tests.
The model uses machine learning to evaluate speech content, offering a non-invasive way to monitor dementia risk. Further research aims to improve and expand this technology.
Trying to figure out whether someone has Alzheimer’s disease usually involves a battery of assessments—interviews, brain imaging, blood and cerebrospinal fluid tests. But, by then, it’s probably already too late: memories have started slipping away, long established personality traits have begun subtly shifting.

What Meta should change about Threads, one year in
It’s been a year since Meta pushed out Threads in an attempt to take on the platform now known as X. At the time, Mark Zuckerberg said that he hoped it would turn into “a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it.”
Meta’s timing was good. Threads launched at a particularly chaotic moment for Twitter, when many people were seeking out alternatives. Threads saw 30 million sign-ups in its first day and the app has since grown to 175 million monthly users, according to Zuckerberg. (X has 600 million monthly users, according to Elon Musk.)
But the earliest iteration of Threads still felt a little bit broken. There was no web version, and a lot of missing features. The company promised interoperability with ActivityPub, the open-source standard that powers Mastodon and other apps in the fediverse, but integration remains minimal.

Study reveals why AI models that analyze medical images can be biased
That research team has now found that the models that are most accurate at making demographic predictions also show the biggest “fairness gaps” — that is, discrepancies in their ability to accurately diagnose images of people of different races or genders. The findings suggest that these models may be using “demographic shortcuts” when making their diagnostic evaluations, which lead to incorrect results for women, Black people, and other groups, the researchers say.
“It’s well-established that high-capacity machine-learning models are good predictors of human demographics such as self-reported race or sex or age. This paper re-demonstrates that capacity, and then links that capacity to the lack of performance across different groups, which has never been done,” says Marzyeh Ghassemi, an MIT associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science.

Google’s greenhouse gas emissions are soaring thanks to AI
As Google has rushed to incorporate artificial intelligence into its core products — with sometimes less-than-stellar results — a problem has been brewing behind the scenes: the systems needed to power its AI tools have vastly increased the company’s greenhouse gas emissions.
AI systems need lots of computers to make them work. The data centers needed to run them, essentially warehouses full of powerful computing equipment, suck up tons of energy to process data and manage the heat all of those computers produce.
The end result has been that Google’s greenhouse gas emissions have soared 48% since 2019, according to the tech giant’s annual environment report. The tech giant blamed that growth mainly on “increased data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions.”

Our Entire Approach to AI Is Flawed
AI’s ROI is potentially far worse, and ironically, much of our problem this century is not the lack of productivity or performance but poor decision support.
Last week, I attended a Computex prep event. As I watched the presentations, I noticed a familiar undercurrent of productivity. I remain concerned that if we improve speeds significantly but do not also improve the quality of the related decisions, we’ll be making mistakes at machine speeds, which may not be survivable.
Let’s talk about that this week, and we’ll close with my Product of the Week, which is the airline I just took to Taiwan. It was so much better than United, which I usually use for international trips, that I figured I’d point out why so many non-U.S. airlines are significantly better than U.S. carriers.

The Next Wave of AI is Memory and Personalisation
Echoing the same, recently on the ‘Unconfuse Me’ podcast, Sam Altman and Bill Gates held a discussion on the next evolution of AI tools. Altman mentioned that “customisation and personalisation is very important for GPT-4, allowing users to tailor its style and assumptions to their needs”. Additionally, Sam mentioned that the system aims to incorporate personal data, including email, calendar, and appointment preferences, as well as connect to external data sources.
With personalisation came the worry of systems knowing too much about oneself. For instance, a user raised the concern of AI “owning memories,” with responses suggesting AI could become an extension of oneself, similar to smartphones. Thus, raising the question of trust and security.

What could Google monopoly ruling mean for you?
Google is much more than just search.
Just look at Android, a firm it bought for $50m (£39.3m) in 2005, which now runs on the majority of smartphones - or YouTube, a $1.65bn acquisition in 2006, which now generates many multiples of that in revenue each year.
The argument might be that all of these can remain under Google, but the actual search engine should be spun off into a separate business.
That might cause consternation for Alphabet executives. But as long as Google remained the default search engine on devices, the average consumer would be unlikely to notice the difference.
"Any such move would certainly be met with years of litigation and regulatory bun-fighting, but it seems to be far more 'on the table' than at any time in Google’s history," said Gareth Mills, Partner at legal firm Charles Russell Speechlys.

Why You Desperately Need a Digital Spring Cleaning
With consumers spending more on tech every year (to a projected $512 billion this year), and dependency on tech at an all-time high (with potentially dangerous consequences), tools that help organize our digital footprints and make our online presences more fluid are becoming a worthwhile expense. But how highly should I prioritize it? How much should I spend to store my data and activities, versus frequently deleting and cleaning them up? Since we create so much digital pollution every day—and our storage units for them are vaporous clouds.
According to two experts I spoke to in the data storage space, we are each generating roughly 8MB of data traffic every day when we’re online. Ten years ago, it was 2MB. They estimated that the average American owns about 500 GB of storage for everything (which includes social media usage, how much time you’re spending and engaging on TikTok) and that will continue to increase.
