Experts Urge Government, to Regulate AI, , Warning of Extreme Risks.
'Time' reports that another group of Artificial Intelligence
experts have joined together to urge the government
to take action to mitigate the risks posed by AI.

The paper focused on the extreme risks posed
by advanced AI systems, which include the ability
to enable large-scale criminal or terrorist plots.
'Time' reports that the paper also lays out a series
of policy recommendations, including the creation of both
national and international standards governing the use of AI.
The paper seeks to ensure that tech companies
devote at least one-third of AI research and development
budgets for the promotion of safe and ethical AI use.
According to contributing author and scientific director
at the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms
Yoshua Bengio, the paper aims to increase
understanding among policymakers and the public.

We wanted to present what (we feel is) clear thinking on AI safety, reasonably free of influence from vested interests, Stuart Russell, paper co-author and professor of computer
science at the University of California, Berkeley, via 'Time'.
According to co-author Stuart Russell, professor of computer
science at the University of California, Berkeley, the paper
differs from previous expert warnings regarding AI.

Governments have understood that
there are real risks.
They are asking
the AI community, ‘What is to be done?’
The statement is an answer to that question, Stuart Russell, paper co-author and professor of computer
science at the University of California, Berkeley, via 'Time'.
'Time' reports that this paper is the third high-profile
statement released by AI experts this year, highlighting
the potential dangers of failing to regulate AI development
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. .

Amazon Reaches $2 Trillion , in Stock Market Value.
On June 26, Amazon became the 5th American company to join the $2 trillion club, NPR reports. .
Amazon shares ended the day up nearly 4%, giving the company a $2.01 trillion stock market valuation. .
Within the past year,
Amazon's stock has gained 52%.
Part of that gain can be attributed
to investors' enthusiasm about the
company's AI endeavors, NPR reports. .
A big part of the valuation boost has
been cloud and AI. Amazon is going to
be a major player in the AI revolution, Dan Ives, Wedbush tech analyst, via NPR.
Amazon currently has a chatbot called Q, which businesses that use AWS have access to. .

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently said that
AI has rejuvenated the growth of AWS.
The cloud computing unit is reportedly on pace to bring in $100 billion in annual revenue.
Amazon recently invested in Anthropic, a California
AI company, "to develop so-called foundation models
that underpin generative AI systems," NPR reports. .
Amazon also makes its own AI chips.
The other four U.S. companies that
belong to the $2 trillion club are
Google, Microsoft, Apple and Nvidia. .

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.

to begin unraveling the secret language of dogs. .

Is it Possible to Get, Too Much Protein?.
Low carb, high protein diets
are currently very popular.
Nutritionists and doctors are divided about whether
or not the protein craze is entirely safe.
Part of what's worrying to physicians is the lack of data on how a high-protein diet affects a person long term.
No one can tell you the long-term effects, [...] No one can tell you what the results are going to be in people’s bodies 10 or 15 years later, Dr. John E. Swartzberg, University of California, Berkeley, via 'The New York Times'.
Other experts say that high intakes of protein aren't absorbed by the body in the ways people might think. .
People think that if they fill up with protein, it will be a magic bullet, whether for weight loss or to get in better shape and build muscle — but that’s not proving to be true, Jim White, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, via 'The New York Times'.
You can eat 300 grams of protein a day, but that doesn’t mean you’ll put on more muscle than someone who takes in 120 grams a day. , Jim White, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, via 'The New York Times'.
Nutritionists also caution that a
varied diet is essential for overall health.
[You end up] robbing yourself of other macronutrients that the body needs, like whole grains, fats, and fruits
and vegetables, Jim White, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, via 'The New York Times'.
Doctors point to certain hazards that may be inherent when eating too much protein as a person gets older.
One of the benefits and concerns about high protein intake, especially animal protein, is that it tends to make cells multiply faster, Dr. Walter Willett, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, via 'The New York Times'.
That’s good in early life, when you’re a growing child. But in later life, this is one of the fundamental processes that increase the risk of cancer, Dr. Walter Willett, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, via 'The New York Times'.
Some doctors recommend between 30 to 40 grams of protein with each meal to mitigate muscle loss.
Others emphasize that protein source is an important consideration, stating that "nothing beats real food."
