Google to Require Politicians to Disclose AI Use in Election Ads
Google to Require Politicians , to Disclose AI Use in Election Ads.
Beginning in November, all political advertisements on Google that use artificial intelligence and synthetic content must inform the viewer that such tools have been utilized.
.
The new rule also applies to
YouTube ads, Politico reports.
.
Verified advertisers must prominently reveal whether
their ads consist of "synthetic content that inauthentically
depicts real or realistic-looking people or events.".
Verified advertisers must prominently reveal whether
their ads consist of "synthetic content that inauthentically
depicts real or realistic-looking people or events.".
Political ads that don't comply will be
blocked from running and removed.
The AI disclosure requirement is the first of its kind for a tech company, Politico reports.
.
However, if AI was only using for editing, such as resizing or cropping, disclosure is not required.
Politicians have already been using AI to their advantage approaching the 2024 election cycle.
For example, over the summer, a PAC supporting
Ron DeSantis' White House bid generated an AI version of Donald Trump's voice and posted the video to YouTube.

However, in August the commission agreed to seek public comments "on amending regulation to include deliberately deceptive Artificial Intelligence in campaign ads."
Kamala Harris's campaign is using Google search ads that link to legitimate news articles but with altered headlines and descriptions to portray her favorably. This practice, ongoing since August, involves nearly a dozen major news outlets. While Google claims this doesn't violate rules, some news organizations were unaware of their brand's use. A technical glitch allegedly affected ad disclosures. Unlike Harris, Donald Trump's campaign isn't employing similar tactics.

Google Uses AI to Add , Over 100 New Languages to Translate.
Google Translate continues to get better,
as the company has used AI to add 110 new languages to the feature, Engadget reports. .
According to Google, the new languages represent over 600 million speakers,
or 8% of the worldwide population. .
Google referenced its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other," .
... "including languages close to Hindi, like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole.".
Isaac Caswell, senior software
engineer for Google Translate, issued
a statement about the development.
As technology advances, and as
we continue to partner with expert
linguists and native speakers, we'll
support even more language varieties
and spelling conventions over time, Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer
for Google Translate, via Engadget.
The last time Translate had a sizeable number of languages added to it was in May of 2022.
At the time, the company utilized the help of Zero-Shot Machine Translation, which
"allows a model to learn a new language" without viewing examples, Engadget reports. .
Later in 2022, Google announced its
1,000 Languages Initiative.
The Initiative seeks to develop AI models that can learn the 1,000 most common languages spoken around the world. .

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon general’s
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon general’s
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

According to the American Psychological Association,
teens spend around five hours a day on popular
platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. .
In his 'NYT' op-ed, Murthy called on all social media
platforms to "proactively enhance and contribute to
the mental health and well-being of our children.".
One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.

Many people are falling victim to the explosion of AI videos, where their images are used - without consent - to create content sometimes with dubious motives.

High tech farms are no longer unusual in Singapore. In fact they have been sprouting up like mushrooms over the past five years. While many of the innovative farms in the city state still have to become profitable, a vertical shrimp farm has achieved price parity with coastal aquaculture ponds in Indonesia or Vietnam. This is thanks to an AI operated system which controls day to day operations.

Researchers Use Machine Learning , to Understand How , Elephants Communicate.
'BGR' reports that communication
among elephants may be more complex
than scientists previously believed.
New evidence suggests that elephants
possess unique names which are
used to address specific elephants.
The study, made possible with the help
of machine learning, was published in
the journal 'Nature Ecology and Evolution.'.
Machine learning was used to help researchers
analyze hundreds of wild elephant calls,
searching for three specific "rumbles.".
These rumbles, which include a greeting, a caregiving
gesture and a contact calling sound, are the primary
form of communication used among elephants.
Other animals are known to refer to their peers
by name. Both dolphins and parrots address
each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.
Other animals are known to refer to their peers
by name. Both dolphins and parrots address
each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.
Elephants, on the other hand, use a more
abstract approach which is more closely
related to the way humans communicate.
Researchers believe the findings could
suggest that elephants are capable of abstract
thought, which would make them much
more intelligent than previously believed.
It remains unclear whether each individual
elephant has its own unique name, or if
they somehow share names or titles.
