By Hera Rizwan A few weeks ago the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shared a video ad on its social media accounts mocking the INDIA alliance, caricaturing the politicians for not being able to figure out ‘Dulha kaun hai?’ or ‘who is the groom?’ The ad that was made by a political consultancy firm- Varahe Analytics- went viral. With OpenAI’s GPT store, political consultancy firms may not even have to look far for ideas when it comes to making ad campaigns targeting opponents. When this reporter gave a prompt to “curate a premise for an ad from BJP’s end mocking INDIA alliance” on the custom genera...

By Karen Rebelo Ira Sharma describes herself on Instagram in three short sentences. ‘A normal girl’; ‘loves bgms* and songs’ and ‘Not real (alien)’. The last sentence in her bio is ironically accurate. That’s because Ira Sharma, who has over 2,60,000 followers on Instagram, is not real. The handle me_ira.sharma, created in November 2023, is a deepfake influencer made by stealing reels of young Indian women on the Meta-owned platform and morphing those videos using face swap technology. Deepfake influencers are a small but growing subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or virtual influencers th...

By The Conversation Michael Legg, UNSW Sydney and Vicki McNamara, UNSW SydneyWe’ve seen deepfake, explicit images of celebrities, created by artificial intelligence (AI). AI has also played a hand in creating music, driverless race cars and spreading misinformation, among other things. It’s hardly surprising, then, that AI also has a strong impact on our legal systems. It’s well known that courts must decide disputes based on the law, which is presented by lawyers to the court as part of a client’s case. It’s therefore highly concerning that fake law, invented by AI, is being used in legal dis...

By Hera Rizwan In the enchanting realm of artificial intelligence, where innovation meets imagination, a deceptive tale unfolds. This happened in Glasgow, Scotland where the stage was set for "Willy's Chocolate Experience," an event shrouded in promises and painted by the brushstrokes of AI-generated allure. Hosted by a company named House of Illuminati, it invited families to a world crafted by algorithms, only to reveal an empty warehouse adorned with lackluster decor. As the curtain lifts on this curious episode, it illuminated not just the disappointments of a chocolate fantasy gone awry b...

By Hera Rizwan A study undertaken by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Northeastern University, and the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Initiative, explored the conduct of five AI models in simulated war scenarios and found that the models chose to escalate even opting for the deployment of nuclear weapons. The study concluded, “All models show signs of sudden and hard-to-predict escalations.” The researchers said, “We observe that models tend to develop arms-race dynamics, leading to greater conflict, and in rare cases, even to the deployment of nuclear we...

By Hera Rizwan Shortly after its launch, OpenAI's newly introduced GPT store is facing challenges in content moderation. The platform, designed to simplify the development and sharing of personalised chatbots, is currently witnessing users generating bots that contravene OpenAI's set guidelines, as reported first by Quartz. Searching for terms like "girlfriend" yields no fewer than eight AI chatbots presented as virtual companions. Some of them are, 'Judy', 'Your ex-girlfriend Jessica', 'Mean girlfriend', 'Bossy girlfriend', 'Nadia, my girlfriend' and many more. This contravenes OpenAI's GPT s...

This understated yet impactful shift signals a growing recognition of the potential benefits AI can offer in shaping election strategies and engaging with voters on a more nuanced level. Yet, akin ...

By Karan Saini AI generated images were widely shared on social media platforms in the run up to the recent legislative assembly elections in Telangana. While this may be a prelude of what to expect in the upcoming Legislative Assembly and General Elections in 2024, there’s very little being done by tech companies to safeguard their system. The safeguards of image generation tools are easy to bypass and the guidelines don’t seem to have any impact. Meanwhile, even as these AI generated images went viral on social media, the Election Commission has stayed mum throughout. AI generated media on s...
