Despite Deepfake and Bias Risks, AI Is Still Useful in Finance, Firms Told

[ad_1] A bank uses biased artificial intelligence outputs in a mortgage lending decision. An insurance firm's AI produces racially homogeneous advertising images. Users of an AI system complain about a bad experience.These are just a few of the potential risks AI poses for financial institutions that want to embrace the emerging technology, according to a series of papers released on Thursday. The papers, by FS-ISAC, a nonprofit that shares cyber intelligence among financial institutions around the world, highlights additional pitfalls as well, including deepfakes and “hallucinations,” when large language models provide incorrect information presented as facts. Despite those risks, FS-ISAC outlines many potential uses for AI for financial firms, such as improving cyber defenses. The gro...

CES 2024: BMW to Ecovacs, here are the ‘Worst in Show’ products, consumer advocates say

[ad_1] The best CES 2024 products pierce through the haze of marketing hype at the Las Vegas gadget show to reveal innovations that could improve lives. The worst could harm us or our society and planet in such “innovatively bad” ways that a panel of self-described dystopia experts has judged them “Worst in Show.” The third annual contest that no tech company wants to win announced its decisions Thursday.AND THE AWARD GOES TO“From easily hackable lawn mowers to $300 earbuds that will fail in two years, these are products that jeopardize our safety, encourage wasteful overconsumption, and normalize privacy violations,” says the group of consumer and privacy advocates judging the awards.

AI-model found to recognise patients’ emotions in therapy session, including fleeting ones

[ad_1] An AI-driven system was found to be able to recognise facial expressions conveying emotions such as happiness and sadness, even fleeting ones, that researchers say could help support psychotherapy.The AI system that the researchers used for the study was a freely available artificial neural network trained to detect six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, sadness and fear - using more than 30,000 facial photos. Artificial neural networks are a type of machine learning, a sub-field of AI, and are built on the principles of connections in biological neural networks found in animal brains. The researchers then made the AI model process and analysed more than 950 hours of video recordings of therapy sessions with 23 patients having borderline personality at the Cent...

ChatGPT Can Lie, But It’s Only Imitating Humans

[ad_1] There's been a flurry of excitement this week over the discovery that ChatGPT-4 can tell lies.I'm not referring to the bot's infamous (and occasionally defamatory) hallucinations, where the program invents a syntactically correct version of events with little connection to reality — a flaw some researchers think might be inherent in any large language model. I'm talking about intentional deception, the program deciding all on its own to utter an untruth in order to help it accomplish a task. That newfound ability would seem to signal a whole different chatgame. Deep in the new paper everybody's been talking about — the one that includes the ChatGPT-4's remarkable scores on the bar examination and the SATs and so forth — there's a discussion of how the program goes about solving ...
