In this episode of AI Rising, hosts Leslie D'monte and Jayanth N Kolla take a closer look at the Isreal-Palestine conflict, shining light on the formerly impenetrable Iron Dome, how Hamas managed to penetrate it using low-tech, and how this situation has led to funds drying up for the AI Industry. Referring to the 60-Minute interview with Geoffery Hinton, the godfather of Artificial intelligence, the hosts segue into a discussion of why AGI washing needs to stop and how accepting the opaqueness of deep learning algorithms is healthy but instilling deep-seated anxiety when it comes to AGI is distracting and counterproductive. On a light note, they even contemplate the possibility of humans being treated like animals by AGI and how that could be a blessing in disguise. Having said that, a chatbot has a trillion connections as compared to a human brain which has about 100 trillion connections, and that’s where lies the differentiator. Because, beyond a certain level of complexity, the human brain is incomprehensible to us too. And so, the hosts argue that we don’t give the human brain enough credit; challenging the idea of AI replicating human-like behavior and highlighting the unique capabilities of both humans and machines. While discussing the near future of AI, they speak of how and why RetNets will replace Transformers. And how using stable diffusion, AI is now being used to tap into the intricate patterns of human brainwaves, thoughts and dreams.

‘Law is glacial. Nothing happens in a tearing hurry.’, says N.S. Nappinai - Advocate, Supreme Court and Founder, Cyber Saathi, So how does it keep up with the compound effects of AI and emerging technologies today? What could become of the class-action suit filed against OpenAI by Authors Guild & authors like John Grisham for plagiarism? How will the definitions of copyright, licensing, etc., change? Can private companies like Meta act as a sovereign, deciding to almost extort the governments and the regulators by withholding services? India’s Data Protection Act doesn’t use the word - profiling - unlike the EU’s GDPR. How does that help protect Indians from individual privacy and rights? How does the exclusion of voluntarily shared data from the Data Protection Act become its weakest link? How will the Digital India Act become dynamic enough to not just protect us against deep fakes but also against other newer technologies in the future? How can the legal framework be structured to empower the beneficial use of AI? How can AI regulations affect speculative investments and volatility of Cryptocurrency, blockchain and CBDC? And finally, amongst so much polarization, can AI be used to fight cybercrimes? N.S. Nappinai discusses it all along with hosts, Leslie D’monte and Jayanth N Kolla. Read more
