Artificial Intelligence (AI) has clearly become an obsession on a nearly global level at this point, at least among countries with even rudimentary technological capabilities and internet access. Companies from across all sectors are working with technology leaders to see how it might be incorporated into their business models. Simultaneously, governments are scrambling to figure […]
We’ve seen this issue cropping up before to the consternation of parents, educators, and law enforcement. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that it will be going away any time soon. Parents of students at Laguna Beach High School in Los Angeles were informed last week that Artificial Intelligence-generated nude images of female students at the school […]
Image Credit: Canva The Center Square [By Jon Styf] – A new state law is an effort to prevent artificial intelligence from producing fake works from Tennessee musicians. The Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, or ELVIS Act, was signed into law this week after first being proposed in January. House Bill 2091 updates […]
Academic Jonathan Haidt was on Joe Rogan’s show yesterday. The discussion started with some talk about Haidt’s new book and his arguments about the ways in which smart phones and social media are contributing to the mental health crisis among teens. (Haidt wrote a piece for the Atlantic last week which I discussed here.) Later […]
“When you have a broken culture,” Shaun Maguire laments, “you’re just going to keep creating broken products. The Google Gemini images merely confirmed what I already knew.” Maguire is no disinterested observer, either. He spent three years as an investment partner at Google Ventures, until its relentless DEI authoritarianism forced him to look elsewhere for […]
When the U.S. federal government first began taking a serious interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the potential dangers it might pose, they commissioned a study on the subject from the experts at Gladstone AI. There was no indication given as to whether or not our vaunted Artificial Intelligence Czar, Kamala Harris was involved in […]
As we’ve discussed here in the past, the latest generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems employ massive libraries of published material to “train” their bots and teach them to communicate quickly in a natural-sounding fashion. But where are the developers finding all of that material? Well… pretty much everywhere. They draw on research papers, journal […]
I suppose this was bound to happen sooner or later. As our technological overlords continue to create increasingly autonomous Artificial Intelligence and begin combining it with alarmingly realistic, human-looking robots, one of them was eventually going to start getting a little “frisky,” right? That may or may not be what happened at a recent technology […]
I tend to like Megan McArdle’s takes on things so it’s no surprise to me that her take on Google Gemini is pretty solid. As she sees it, Gemini is a case of Google saying the quiet part out loud. What she means is that this isn’t just a wonky new product that is drawing […]

State Senator Joey Hensley (R-Hohenwald-District 28) presented Senate Bill 1711 (SB1711). An amendment was brought by […]
