I continue to be very impressed by @Adobe. They realized that voice is going to be a significant (if not the predominant) UI in the future and are preparing for it > Adobe acquires Sayspring voice platform startup to bolster its virtual assistant efforts https://t.co/bObqFxV4fk

What mother, uncle, daughter, brother, grandfather, or teenager wouldn’t join a “crypto social network”? I don’t think many people realize what Facebook is all about… > Minds aims to decentralize the social network https://t.co/1vkj14jf53 https://t.co/5qvcqFBWPJ

6/ In a future where #AI is so cheap and broadly available, and pictures, videos, voices can be easily manipulated at will, we might have to digitally sign every output. That, in turn, would mean that every individual would be fully traceable.

Career path for know-it-alls. https://t.co/5DDsvhO7l2

Critical work by the @UKHouseofLords, especially considering the last few tweets I posted over the weekend > The UK says it can’t lead on AI spending, so will have to lead on #AI ethics instead https://t.co/BvIo2YZjd2

@0xF2 They are two trombones interconnected.

@krishnan People won’t freak out about #AI until it’s their face in the experiment. That’s why I used mine rather than a random one. When you look at yourself and you realise that those events never actually happened, and yet it’s really you, it’s a chilling moment.

4/ And given that non-verbal language is way more powerful than verbal one, this implies that #AI can be used to manipulate targets (both the main actor and the audience of the video).

What happens when this exists (and it’s broadly available) & fake news is legally prosecuted?
