UK Plans for a Global AI Safety Summit

UK AI Summit

The UK plans a global AI safety summit in November, aiming for leadership in AI technology.
The summit's location is Bletchley Park, historically significant for WWII code-breaking.
The summit aims to address AI risks, promote collaboration among countries, and create a shared approach.

WiT Singapore Conference

Web in Travel (WiT) has announced its WiT Singapore Conference at Marina Bay Sands from October 2-4, 2023.
The conference emphasizes the significant changes in the travel industry and the continuous evolution of artificial intelligence (AI).

Iowa school district bans books based on ChatGPT
Microsoft removes AI-generated article suggesting tourists visit Ottawa Food Bank
MIT researchers use deep learning and physics to fix motion-corrupted MRI scans

Ban Books

New law signed by Governor Kim Reynolds aims to protect students from exposure to damaging and obscene materials in school libraries.
Senate File 496 mandates "age-appropriate" books devoid of descriptions or depictions of sex acts in school libraries.
Administrators rely on machine intelligence due to the challenge of manually reviewing and filtering books within a three-month window.
The district's methodology involves compiling lists of commonly challenged books, filtering for sexual content challenges, and using AI software for review.
A total of 19 texts will be removed from the 7-12 school library collections based on an AI software review.

Ottawa Food Bank

Microsoft partner OpenAI made waves with LLMs called GPT-3 in 2020 and GPT-4 in 2023, both of which can imitate human writing styles, but which have frequently been used for unsuitable tasks, according to critics.
Late last week, MSN.com's MicrosoftTravel section posted an AI-generated article about the "cannot miss" attractions of Ottawa that includes the Ottawa Food Bank, a real charitable organization that feeds struggling families.
As the #3 destination on the list, Microsoft Travel suggests visiting the Ottawa Food Bank almost as if it were a world-famous restaurant, drawn from otherwise realistic summaries found online but capped with a travel-writer-style filler phrase.

MRI Scan

MRI scans offer high-quality soft tissue contrast compared to X-rays or CT scans.
Motion sensitivity of MRI leads to image artifacts, risking misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment.
MIT researchers have developed a deep learning model for motion correction in brain MRI.
Nalini Singh, a PhD student at the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (Jameel Clinic), is the lead author of the paper.
Motion is a common issue in MRI, particularly due to its slow imaging speed.

Opera Aria
