Age of machines: Arm CEO Rene Haas Fears Humans Could Lose Control of Artificial Intelligence

[ad_1] “The thing I worry about most is humans losing capability” over the machines, said  Rene Haas, Chief Executive Officer of Arm Holdings Plc, when asked what keeps him up at night when he thinks about artificial intelligence. “You need some override, some backdoor, some way that the system can be shut down.”Haas, who was speaking to Bloomberg in a wide-ranging interview from the company's Cambridge, UK, base knows a thing or two about machines. By his estimate, 70% of the world's population touches Arm-designed products in some way. It's a reminder of the company's rare status as a UK-born global tech titan — even if it is now majority owned by Masayoshi Son's Softbank Group Corp. in Japan, and listed in New York. As Haas considers the potential downsides to artificial intelligence...

AI chip crunch: startups vie for Nvidia’s vital component

[ad_1] The artificial intelligence revolution is fully underway, but soaring demand for its most crucial component has startups scratching their heads on how they can deliver on AI's promise.Generative AI's lifeblood is a book-sized semiconductor known as the graphics processing unit (GPU) -- built by one company, Nvidia. Nvidia's CEO and founder Jensen Huang made a wild bet years ago that the world would soon clamor for a powerful chip usually used for making video games, but that could build AI as well. No company working with the generative AI models that fuel today's frenzy can get off the ground without Nvidia's singular product: the latest model is the H100 and its accompanying software.That painful reality is one that Amazon, Intel, AMD and others are scrambling to fix with their...

AI revolution in video games has industry players treading warily

[ad_1] From generating storylines to coding entire games to turning ideas into animation, artificial intelligence is front and centre at Gamescom, one of the video game industry's biggest fairs.But even the ultra-connected industry is eyeing the innovation warily, with fears growing that jobs could be made redundant and artistic creations usurped. "AI is really a turning point," according to Julien Millet, an AI engineer and founder of United Bits Game studio, who attended the industry fair this week. Responsive non-playable characters or the automatic generation of images, code and game scenarios are among the possible uses for developers using AI.AI is also capable of instantly producing illustrations from text, allowing producers to better "transmit their vision", according to Millet...

27% of jobs at high risk from AI revolution, says OECD

[ad_1] More than a quarter of jobs in the OECD rely on skills that could be easily automated in the coming artificial intelligence revolution, and workers fear they could lose their jobs to AI, the OECD said on Tuesday.The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is a 38-member bloc, spanning mostly wealthy nations but also some emerging economies like Mexico and Estonia. There is little evidence the emergence of AI is having a significant impact on jobs so far, but that may be because the revolution is in its early stages, the OECD said. Jobs with the highest risk of being automated make up 27% of the labor force on average in OECD countries, with eastern European countries most exposed, the Paris-based organization said in its 2023 Employment Outlook.Jobs at highe...
