Recently, several major American artificial intelligence companies made a solemn pledge to the White House, stating that they will prevent their AI products from being used to generate non-consensual deepfake pornography and child sexual abuse materials. Six companies, including Adobe, Anthropic, Cohere, Microsoft, OpenAI, and the open-source web data repository Common Crawl, signed this non-binding commitment to ensure that their products are not misused to create harmful images of gender violence.

In India, the issue of missing children is becoming increasingly serious. By the end of 2023, the number of missing children had risen to 47,000. To address this challenge, the police have started using artificial intelligence technology to help solve cases. In January 2024, the Delhi Police successfully cracked a 'blind case' thanks to the assistance of AI. The police formed a 30-member team to reconstruct the facial features of an unidentified man using AI technology. Since the man's face was damaged beyond recognition, the AI-generated image became crucial.

Recently, OpenAI launched its latest series of artificial intelligence models, o1, which have demonstrated very advanced capabilities in certain logical tasks. As a result, the company has conducted a cautious assessment of its potential risks. Based on both internal and external evaluations, OpenAI classified the o1 model as 'medium risk'. Why is there such a risk rating? Firstly, the o1 model exhibits human-like reasoning capabilities, able to generate text that is as persuasive as arguments written by humans on the same topic. This persuasive ability is not

The National Internet Information Office recently released the 'Measures for Labeling AI-Generated Synthetic Content (Draft for Comments)', aimed at regulating the labeling of AI-generated synthetic content, safeguarding national security and public interests, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, and other organizations. This measure is formulated based on the 'Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China', 'Regulations on the Administration of Algorithms for Internet Information Services', 'Regulations on the Administration of Deep Synthesis in Internet Information Services', and the 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services', among other laws and regulations. The deadline for feedback is the 20th.

Meta has announced that it will continue with its plan to use millions of publicly available posts from UK Facebook and Instagram users to train its artificial intelligence technology. Although this practice is largely prohibited under EU privacy laws, Meta states that it has been in active communication with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), after previously pausing similar proposals in June. The pause was due to the ICO's warnings that tech companies must respect user privacy when developing generative AI.

Within the complex neural networks of the human brain, billions of neurons are continuously generating electrical activity, encoding our every thought, action, and sensation. The complexity of this neural symphony has long been a significant challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. However, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have recently made a major breakthrough by developing a novel artificial intelligence algorithm called DPAD (Decoupled Prioritized Dynamic Analysis), which promises to fundamentally change the way we interpret brain activity.
