This Week’s Insights 📰
US Presidential Debate Skips AI and Quantum
In the first U.S. presidential debate of 2024, held in Atlanta, AI and quantum computing were glaringly absent from the discussion. Despite touching on immigration and the economy, moderators overlooked key tech topics like cryptocurrency and election security. With AI reshaping the stock market and quantum computing on the brink of revolutionizing encryption, the silence was notable. Will future debates address these pressing issues, or will they remain in the shadows?
Morgan Freeman Takes a Stand Against AI Impersonators
Morgan Freeman, the legendary voice of “The Shawshank Redemption,” isn’t holding back against AI voice copycats. The 87-year-old icon thanked his fans for calling out these scams, emphasizing that authenticity still matters. Freeman’s takedown comes as other stars like Scarlett Johansson and Drake face similar AI mimicry. As Hollywood grapples with the rise of AI, Freeman makes it clear: his voice is off-limits. Stay vigilant, folks!
Tracking Ocean Trash from Space
In an innovative twist, researchers are using supercomputers and satellites to spot ocean trash from above. By analyzing 300,000 multispectral images from the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-2, they identified massive floating plastic formations, called windrows. These trash trails, formed by currents and winds, offer crucial insights into pollution hotspots. Covering an area the size of 7,500 soccer fields, this system could revolutionize how we track ocean waste, helping clean-up efforts and even forecasting pollution patterns. It’s a high-tech way to tackle the planet’s floating debris problem!
AI Washing: The New Hype?
Move over greenwashing, there’s a new buzzword in town—AI washing. Companies are eager to slap an “AI-powered” label on everything, but how true are these claims? Take Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” tech. It sounds futuristic, but reports revealed that humans were manually reviewing most transactions. Many startups are jumping on the AI bandwagon without actually using much AI at all, misleading investors and consumers. The SEC is starting to crack down on these claims, so the hype might not last long. As AI continues to evolve, let’s keep it real and call out the fakes.
