Recently, a study conducted jointly by Ruhr University Bochum, GESIS Leibniz Institute, and CISPA Helmholtz Center revealed that accounts on X (formerly Twitter) using AI-generated avatars only account for 0.052% of all accounts. Researchers analyzed nearly 15 million X accounts and found that 7,723 accounts used AI-generated avatars. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image authorized by service provider Midjourney. These accounts exhibited significant characteristics.

Recently, the renowned media outlet The New York Times sent a cease-and-desist letter to an AI startup named Perplexity, demanding that the company stop using its content. This news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and has drawn widespread attention. In fact, this is not the first time The New York Times has clashed with AI companies over content usage issues. Last year, the paper filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of illegally using their content while training AI models.

Zhejiang University and the University of Texas developed an AI algorithm that accurately predicts earthquakes in China, forecasting 14 quakes within a 300 km range a week in advance with a 70% accuracy rate, including intensity calculations. This breakthrough offers new hope for earthquake warning and disaster response. While global application of the algorithm remains uncertain, scientists are optimistic about improving prediction accuracy and ....

OpenAI's latest release of the ChatGPT voice feature based on the GPT-4 model aims to enhance the naturalness and immediacy of human-AI communication. However, this innovation has raised concerns about emotional dependence among users, with some forming emotional attachments to the AI and expressing reluctance to part with it, potentially affecting their social behaviors and interactions with real humans. Research indicates that prolonged AI voice interactions may alter users' social norms, such as the AI's ability to interrupt at any time, which is uncommon in human interactions.

2024 is hailed as the inaugural year of AI smartphones. Three major AI smartphone concept stocks have issued announcements warning of stock trading risks. Furong Technology provides aluminum middle frame structural components, Sixuan New Materials supplies thermal management materials, and Daoming Optics applies graphene heat dissipation films to products such as the OPPO Find N3 Flip foldable phone. Fund flow data from the Tiger List includes responses from Gongda Electric Sound, Tianjian Co., and Dalian Technology regarding AI smartphone-related business situations on their interaction platforms.

Cybercriminals are using the OnlyFake platform to create realistic fake ID documents, bypassing KYC verification at cryptocurrency exchanges. The $15 toolkit allows criminals to easily establish virtual identities, raising concerns within the cybersecurity community. Cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and Kraken have approved transactions using these fraudulent documents. Experts warn that this technology could be used for money laundering and financial fraud, calling for enhanced cybersecurity measures. AI-driven deception technology serves as a reminder for individuals to strengthen their cybersecurity to prevent fake identities from easily passing strict security checks.

OpenAI has recently initiated the development of an early warning system for GPT-4 to explore whether large language models can improve the efficiency of obtaining information about biological threats compared to the internet. The system is intended to serve as a 'trigger' to indicate potential biological weapons. A study involving 100 participants suggests that using GPT-4 in combination with the internet offers slight improvements in the accuracy and completeness of biological hazard tasks, though the results are not significant. The evaluation focused solely on information retrieval rather than actual applications and did not examine GPT-4's role in the development of new biological weapons.

The medical research team at Flinders University has issued an urgent warning, highlighting that Generative AI can easily create false information in the health sector, raising community concerns. Using Generative AI tools, the research team generated 100 misleading blog posts, 20 deceptive images, and a deepfake video within an hour. Experts are calling for government regulation to prevent misuse while emphasizing the importance of active participation from healthcare professionals in AI oversight. The study underscores the urgency of AI regulation and advocates for transparent processes for monitoring, reporting, and...

Experts say Australia is lagging in AI funding and regulation, especially after the U.S. issued an executive order on AI regulation. The Australian government has signed the AI safety declaration but has not responded to calls for an AI safety investigation, raising concerns. The government has received over 500 submissions on AI but lacks specific regulatory details, and experts emphasize that Australia needs to take more proactive measures.

⚠️ Limitation Warning: Research indicates that ChatGPT has limited information in psychotherapy, lacking empathy and understanding. 🌐 Call for Collaboration: A call for cooperation between academia and industry to develop linguistically useful models for psychology, including datasets and standard benchmarks.

China's AI models account for 40% of the global market, leading the United States. Investors warn that the large model industry will face a reshuffle. Market predictions indicate that only the strongest models will survive. Giants like Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu are participating in the battle of hundreds of models. The large model industry may face consolidation and price wars.

FBI experts warn that teenagers are using artificial intelligence technology to create deepfake nude images for malicious attacks on classmates, causing embarrassment and fear in families. This technology is no longer limited to celebrities and social influencers; instead, it is being used by middle and high school students to bully other children. The FBI urges the public to exercise caution when posting personal photos or videos on social media, dating apps, and other online platforms.
