scientific investigations of the boundaries between conscious and unconscious systems are urgently needed, and they cite ethical, legal and safety issues that make it crucial to understand AI consciousness. For example, if AI develops consciousness, should people be allowed to simply switch it off after use?

All of the people I love hate this stuff, and all the people I hate love it. And yet, likely because of the same personality flaws that drew me to technology in the first place, I am annoyingly excited.

I feel this intensely and think about it all the time. Many people for whom I have tremendous respect, people I have been reading for many years, people who I look to to make sense of the world really do seem to dislike AI. All I can tell you is that for the last few years, I have been obsessively playing with it, building things with it and spending a lot of time trying to make sense of it. I can’t stop. It’s the exact same feeling and drive I had when I first installed Mosaic in the 90s. But this feels quite a bit different.
We humans aren't the only ones to experience cognitive decline as we age. Research conducted by neurologists and data scientists reveals that some artificial intelligence models struggle with visual, spatial, and executive tasks as they get older, suggesting that they, too, age away from peak performance. The study highlights an unanticipated... See more

Embodiment, AI - IDFA Report-1
Exploring the intersection of embodiment, immersive media, and artificial intelligence in documentary storytelling, highlighting audience experiences, challenges, and the evolving strategies used by creators to convey complex realities.
LinkAt IDFA DocLab in November 2023, MIT researchers explored how the
different forms of possible embodiment were being used by artists, and how
they had impact on audience experience and understanding. We wanted to
understand what strategies and tools artists are using, how these projects
are being received by audiences, and whether the knowledge communicated
or experience delivered is distinct from that shared by more traditional forms
of flat screen media.
I often say doctors are generally terrible at their jobs and everyone thinks I’m an arrogant techy (maybe true) and this paper is the start of the thread I will send them from now on.
Michael Dempseyx.comSo much of of the existing music, film and TV culture — using 20th century technology — is cookie cutter, lifeless and uninspiring.
The democratization of the AI tools means even more people can pump out content, so context will matter more than ever in order to give meaning to the work.

AuthorityHacker surveyed 1,200 music consumers and got some striking results: 93% said they did not value AI-generated music as highly as music produced by humans. And, while over 60% said they would consider listening to AI music, some 56% also said they would not willingly pay for songs generated using AI. Perhaps most striking: 89% of those... See more
