5 AI developments you might have overlooked today: Project Maven, BPO employees at risk of rapid AI replacement, and additional updates
The US military’s AI warfare project is progressing smoothly; Nasscom Chairman cautions BPO workers about potential rapid AI displacement; Morris II AI worm poses a danger to ChatGPT and Gemini; Revolutionary solutions for hearing impairment with AI-enabled hearing aids – all this and more in our daily news roundup. Let’s dive in.
1. Project Maven: Inside the US Military’s Artificial Intelligence Warfare
The US military’s secret Project Maven sought to utilize artificial intelligence in warfare. Will Roper, formerly in charge of the classified Strategic Capabilities Office, discusses the challenges of developing AI technology on the battlefield on Bloomberg’s Big Take DC podcast. Despite claims that humans are “in the loop,” concerns linger about the rapid pace of decision-making beyond human control.
2. The artificial intelligence of BPO employees is being replaced quickly, warns the chairman of Nasscom
Rajesh Nambiar, chairman of Nasscom, warns that business process outsourcing (BPO) workers are at high risk of being rapidly replaced by artificial intelligence. Speaking at the seminar, he notes that the $48.9 billion business process management industry is evolving and worries about the impact of AI on jobs, especially in India’s $250 billion technology sector. Nambiar points out that software services professionals who do not adopt AI in their work will be forced to replace AI, especially as generative AI affects white-collar jobs based on cognitive skills, according to an NDTV Profit report.
3. Morris II AI worm threatens ChatGPT and Gemini, steals confidential information
Researchers uncover the “Morris II” AI worm, a threat capable of stealing confidential information, spreading spam messages and infecting AI systems such as ChatGPT and Gemini. Named after the infamous 1988 Internet worm, Morris II uses self-replicating prompts to evade detection as it navigates through generative AI systems. According to a recent report by Wired, the worm exploits large language patterns, compromising security measures and extracting information from AI-powered email assistants and chatbots.
4. Hearing aids powered by artificial intelligence offer revolutionary solutions for hearing loss, experts say on World Hearing Day
On World Hearing Day, IANS reported that artificial intelligence-enabled hearing aids have the potential to revolutionize solutions for the hearing-impaired, according to experts. According to the World Health Organization’s estimate, 430 million people worldwide suffer from hearing loss, so artificial intelligence-based advanced hearing aids aim to amplify sound and convert it into nerve impulses, offering a beacon of hope to bridge the gap between silence and symphony, says Dr. Aparna Gupta and Dr. Virendra Singh.
5. CBSE launches policy to integrate AI in education to prepare students for future careers
CBSE plans to create a policy on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of equipping students for future jobs and fostering creativity. The proposal discussed at the Skill Education meeting held in November suggests setting up a committee with representatives from IITs, NITs, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and global AI stakeholders. The committee is expected to make recommendations by April 2024, emphasizing the need for students to develop strong AI skills.
