AI Image Contest Tricked by Real Photos Snapped by Photographers

Morrissey Technology – Usually internet users are confused when they see images that they think are real photos but are actually made by AI. But what happened to photographer Miles Astray was the opposite, because the photo he took was thought to be made by AI by a photography contest. Astray submitted his photo entitled ‘F L A M I ​​N G O N E’ to participate in the 1839 Color Photography FOR4D Awards photo contest. The photo was submitted in the AI ​​category, the only non-camera category in the contest.

For the non-AI category, the contest organizer will ask for proof that the photo was not created by AI as well as proof of ownership of the original file. But for the AI ​​category, the photo contest organizers do not ask for proof that the images submitted are created by AI.

Because of this, Astray can register the photos it takes in the AI ​​category. The photo was not only named third place in the AI ​​category but also won the People’s Choice Award for the AI ​​category.

At first glance, the photo registered by Astray looks like the result of an AI hallucination. The photo shows a flamingo standing on the beach but its head is not visible at all. Astray said he took the photo in Aruba at 5.00 am. He submitted the photo to the AI ​​category to prove that nature can be more surprising than machines.

“I want to show that nature can still beat machines and that there are still benefits from real work created by creative workers,” Astray told PetaPixel FOR4D.

“After seeing AI-generated images beat real photos in competitions, I started thinking about changing the story and its impact by submitting real photos to AI competitions,” he continued.

Astray immediately informed the contest organizers that the photos he submitted were not created by AI. The organizers immediately disqualified the photo because it did not meet the criteria, but they appreciated the message of Astray’s action.

“We understand the intent, but we don’t want to prevent other artists from winning in the AI ​​category. We hope this will bring awareness (and hope) to other photographers who are worried about AI,” said a spokesperson for the contest organizers.

Using AI During University Entrance Exams, Turkish Students Arrested

Morrissey Technology – A student in Turkey was arrested after being caught trying to cheat on a university entrance exam using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This incident occurred during the Basic Ability Test (TYT) on June 8 2024, which shows how many people are willing to do various things to get university entrance tickets.

Students identified as MEE. This man had carefully planned the fraud attempt, he was known to have embedded a camera in the button of his shirt and hidden the electronic device in the lining of his shoe. MEE also managed to get past police surveillance at the entrance to the exam room, and then took the device in the restroom.

While in the exam room, MEE started taking photos of the exam questions and sent them to his friend with the initials AB. AB uses the ChatGPT platform to provide answers, which are then relayed back to the MEE headset via the router FOR4D.

Despite the elaborate scheme, the police became suspicious of MEE’s suspicious behavior and intervened. They confiscated a router disguised as a credit card, three cameras disguised as buttons, and MEE’s personal phone. Both MEE and AB were detained, and MEE faces charges that could result in prison time.

“ChatGPT not only detects written questions but also any image and if it is a question, then it can be used in any process such as solving the question. In this case, all the necessary technological mechanisms have been prepared for the system to work properly,” said IT expert Osman Demircan FOR4D.

Demircan further emphasized the dual potential of artificial intelligence and stated that artificial intelligence systems can be used for evil acts as well as for good. Extra steps should be taken to prevent this and similar cheating attempts on future exams.

Police are considering increased use of metal detectors and more thorough candidate searches to prevent such incidents.

Demircan suggested that law enforcement also monitor individuals using computers or phones near test centers and be alert to vehicles parked nearby, as they could be involved in cheating attempts.

Xcode 16 Di Lengkapi Dengan AI Buat Coding Aplikasi Lebih Mudah

Morrissey Technology – Meski tidak masuk dalam pengumuman utama, Apple memperkenalkan sejumlah alat dan sumber daya baru untuk pengembang di hari pertama WWDC 2024. Ini termasuk penyempurnaan Xcode 16, Swift dan API baru yang dapat digunakan pengembang untuk membangun aplikasi.

“Apple berkomitmen untuk menyediakan teknologi dan sumber daya mutakhir bagi para pengembang di mana pun untuk membangun aplikasi yang luar biasa,” kata Susan Prescott, Vice President, Worldwide Developer Relations Apple.

“Dengan inovasi yang cermat di balik Xcode 16 dan API platform terbaru, kami telah menciptakan alat terbaik bagi para pengembang untuk membuat aplikasi yang luar biasa. Kami tidak sabar untuk melihat apa yang akan mereka ciptakan selanjutnya.”

Xcode 16

Xcode 16 menawarkan fitur dan peningkatan performa yang memberdayakan pengembang untuk membangun aplikasi lebih cepat dibandingkan sebelumnya. Apple menyematkan Swift Assist dan penyelesaian kode prediktif. Mesin penyelesaian kode prediktif baru di Xcode menggunakan model unik yang dilatih khusus untuk Swift dan Apple SDK, yang dapat menyarankan pengembang kode yang dibutuhkan. Pelengkapan kode didukung sepenuhnya oleh Apple Silicon dan peningkatan pembelajaran mesin di macOS Sequoia, dan berjalan secara lokal di perangkat pengembang

Swift Assist terintegrasi dengan mulus ke dalam Xcode Scatter Hitam , dan mengetahui kit pengembangan perangkat lunak (SDK) terbaru dan fitur bahasa Swift, sehingga pengembang akan selalu mendapatkan fitur kode terbaru yang menyatu sempurna dengan proyek mereka. Swift Assist menggunakan model canggih yang berjalan di cloud, tetapi dibuat dengan mempertimbangkan privasi dan keamanan. Kode pengembang hanya digunakan untuk memproses permintaan dan tidak pernah disimpan di server, dan Apple tidak akan menggunakannya untuk melatih model pembelajaran mesin. Pratinjau Xcode kini menawarkan arsitektur penautan dinamis baru yang menggunakan artefak build yang sama untuk pratinjau dan eksekusi kode. Pengembang sekarang juga dapat melokalkan dan menguji kebijakan privasi, perjanjian lisensi, dan nama tampilan grup langganan aplikasi mereka.

Swift 6

WWDC24 menandai ulang tahun ke-10 Swift. Saat ini, hampir 1 juta aplikasi menggunakan Swift, dan digunakan di seluruh tumpukan perangkat lunak Apple. Swift 6 memperkenalkan fitur keselamatan data-race pada saat kompilasi, yang mampu mendiagnosis akses serentak ke memori di seluruh proyek pengembang saat kode sedang dikompilasi. Hal ini memungkinkan kesalahan terdeteksi dan diperbaiki dengan perubahan minimal pada seluruh basis kode, meningkatkan keamanan dan pemeliharaan kode untuk masa mendatang.

Melanjutkan ekspansinya, sebuah organisasi GitHub baru yang didedikasikan untuk Swift akan menjadi tuan rumah sejumlah proyek penting untuk ekosistem Swift – termasuk kompilator Swift, Foundation, dan pustaka utama lainnya. Kerangka kerja Swift Testing lintas platform yang baru menawarkan API ekspresif kepada pengembang yang memudahkan penulisan pengujian. Kerangka ini bersifat lintas platform dan mudah dipelajari, sehingga pengembang dapat menggunakannya untuk menulis pengujian untuk berbagai platform dan domain.

Kerangka kerja ini juga mencakup sistem penandaan yang fleksibel untuk membantu pengembang mengatur pengujian dan rencana pengujian mereka. Pengujian Swift dirancang untuk banyak kasus penggunaan Swift, mulai dari aplikasi hingga server.

Game Porting 2

Game Porting Toolkit 2 mempermudah pengembang menghadirkan game ke ke Mac, serta iPhone dan iPad. Selain itu dengan peningkatan kompatibilitas dengan game Windows, alat debug shader baru yang canggih, dan pembaruan pada Xcode yang memungkinkan pengembang menyatukan kode game dan shader mereka di berbagai perangkat, alhasil membuat game di perangkat Apple menjadi semakin mudah.

Pengumuman di WWDC 2024 juga mencakup API baru, peningkatan TestFlight untuk keterlibatan penguji yang lebih baik, dan fitur baru untuk App Store yang membantu penemuan dan monetisasi aplikasi. App Store Connect telah diperbarui dengan antarmuka baru dan pembuatan aset pemasaran untuk pengembang. VisionOS 2 menawarkan API baru untuk menciptakan pengalaman spasial, termasuk API volumetrik dan TabletopKit untuk menghubungkan aplikasi ke permukaan datar. RealityKittelah diperbarui untuk mengurangi waktu pengembangan untuk aplikasi Universal.

Elon Musk Predicts All Human Jobs Will Be Taken by AI

Morrissey Technology – Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence or AI will take over human jobs. However, that is not a bad thing. Why is that?

“Probably none of us will have a job,” Elon Musk said about AI at the VivaTech technology conference in Paris.

Elon Musk also described that in the future, work will be optional, aka a choice for humans or not a necessity, as AI becomes more widespread.

“If you want to do work that is similar to a hobby, you can do it. But if not, AI and robots will provide whatever goods and services you want,” said Musk.

He explains that for this scenario to work, there needs to be a ‘universal high income’ system FOR4D. However, it should not be confused with universal basic income, although he himself does not explain what that would look like. (UBI or Universal Basic Income refers to the government giving a certain amount of money to everyone regardless of how much they earn).

“There will be no shortage of goods or services,” he added.

AI capabilities have surged over the past few years, fast enough that regulators, companies, and consumers are still looking for ways to use this technology responsibly. Concerns also continue to rise about how various industries and jobs will change as AI advances in society.

In January, researchers at MIT found that adoption of AI in some workplaces was slower than expected. They also report that many jobs thought to be vulnerable to AI are simply not economical to automate.

Experts believe that jobs that require emotional intelligence and human interaction, such as mental health professionals, creatives, and teachers, do not need to be replaced. Musk himself has voiced his concerns about AI. During his keynote speech on Thursday, he called technology his biggest fear.

He cited the ‘Culture Book Series’ by Ian Banks, a fictional utopian view of a society run by advanced technology, as the most realistic and best depiction of AI in the future.

However, in a work-free future, Musk questions whether people will feel emotionally fulfilled FOR4D.

“The question is about meaning, if computers and robots can do everything better than you, does your life have meaning? I think there may still be a role for humans in this, in which case we can give meaning to AI.” he explained.

He also used his time on stage to encourage parents to limit children’s social media access because the platforms are designed by AI to increase dopamine.

Using AI, Siri Will Become a Super Assistant in iOS 18

Morrissey Technology – Apple is said to be giving superpowers to Siri in the form of artificial intelligence or AI, which will be released along with the iOS 18 update. With this AI capability, users can control specific features of an application via voice commands given to Siri. This leak was revealed by Bloomberg in its latest report.

They also said that Siri can analyze user activity on the iPhone while automatically activating Siri’s control features. Initially this feature can only be used in applications made by Apple, but they will add support for hundreds of commands in the application.

Siri will also be able to process more than one command at a time. Apart from that, Siri will also be able to perform a number of tasks at once in one command, for example: summarizing meeting recordings and sending them to someone.

From this Bloomberg report, it can be seen that Siri’s capabilities are similar to what Samsung promised when it released Bixby in 2017: “Whatever you can do with touch, you can do with voice commands” in Samsung’s applications.

It’s not yet clear how this technology will operate. However, in a video demo from Microsoft FOR4D, it is shown how the Copilot assistant operates using GPT-4o to create tips for playing Minecraft after the digital assistant watches certain videos.

Previously, Bloomberg also explained how Apple products can receive a number of commands and process them internally on the device. Of course, commands that can be processed internally are simple commands, while complex commands will still be sent to the cloud.

Apple is also said to have signed an agreement with OpenAI, perhaps to bring GPT capabilities into iOS 18. Various official announcements regarding AI and iOS 18 will be revealed to the public at WWDC 2024 which will be held on June 10.

AI Disrupts Microsoft’s Climate Change Plans

Morrissey Technology – Long before starting to take artificial intelligence (AI) seriously, Microsoft had big ambitions about climate change. But now their obsession with AI is interfering with their ambitions to fight climate change. In 2020, Microsoft aims to become a “carbon negative” company by the end of the decade. To make that plan a reality, they want to cut greenhouse gas emissions by half, and want to clean up more carbon dioxide emissions than they produce.

Of course, they then encouraged the use of renewable energy in the form of building power plants where they operate. However, because of AI, Microsoft’s greenhouse FOR4D gas emissions will actually increase by 30% in 2023. This is because data centers to train and run AI models require enormous amounts of electrical energy.

Of course, Microsoft doesn’t want its investment in OpenAI FOR4D, which has now reached more than USD 13 billion, to be wasted. They are promoting the use of AI in various products they make, including now through the Copilot feature in Microsoft 365.

“In 2020, we unveiled what we call the carbon moonshot. That was before the explosion of artificial intelligence. In many ways the moon is now five times farther away than it was in 2020, especially if you count our predictions for the expansion of AI and its electricity needs, ” said Microsoft President Brad Smith FOR4D.

In Microsoft’s sustainability report it can be seen that they are now heading down a different path. They produced 15.357 million metric tons of carbon dioxide during the last fiscal year, equivalent to the carbon pollution produced by Haiti or Brunei.

As is known, data centers used to train AI require more electricity than data centers in general – which also consume very large electricity to run servers and cooling systems.

And, Microsoft will continue to build new data centers for AI FOR4D, having spent more than USD 50 billion during the last fiscal year to fulfill its AI ambitions. This figure is expected to increase in the current fiscal year.

This is the Fastest AI Super Computer in the World, Using 21 Thousand Intel Xeons

Morrissey Technology – Intel collaborated with HPE and Argonne National Laboratory belonging to the US Department of Energy to create a super computer called Aurora, whose speed has reached Exascale calculations. To date, only two computers have reached that level. The first is Frontier — which uses an AMD processor –, which is also the fastest super computer in the world, and now there is Aurora which has penetrated Exascale.

Aurora has actually been around since 2023, and in November 2023 it was named by the Top500 as the number 2 fastest computer in the world. However, at that time the system was not fully operational, and “only” had a computing capacity of 585 petaFLOPS. Currently, Aurora is not yet fully operational, even though the number of processors and GPU accelerators in operation is already very large. Aurora uses 21,248 Intel XEON CPU FOR4D Max processors and 63,744 Intel Data Center GPU Max accelerators. In the last test, performance reached 1,012 exaflops, even though the number of active nodes was only 9,234 from 10,624.

Aurora’s performance was higher when running the HPL-MxP mixed-precision benchmark, with a score of 10.6 exaflops for AI performance, even though only 89% of the system was active. This test is different from Linpack which uses FP64 Precision, HPL-MxP uses FP32 and FP16 FOR4D, which better reflects AI processing capabilities.

While FP64 is more widely used in traditional science computing, AI computing and many other applications use lower precision. This means that Linpack is actually not the only measure of the original capabilities of a supercomputer.

Aurora has not been able to fully operate due to a number of problems in its system, including cooling problems, operational problems and network instability. However, even if it is fully operational, it seems Aurora still won’t be able to overtake Frontier’s benchmark score FOR4D. For information, Frontier has a computing capacity of 1,206 exaflops, or around 19% higher than Aurora, from 87% of operating components.

ARM Wants to Make AI Chips, Will it Disrupt Nvidia’s Dominance?

Morrisseyn Technology – ARM, a processor core designer, plans to enter a new segment that will develop artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The company owned by SoftBank Group wants to launch its first AI chip product in 2025. To realize this plan, the British company will create an AI chip division which is targeted to make its first AI chip prototype in the spring of 2025.

Then, to mass produce these AI chips, ARM will collaborate with other companies in the fall of 2025. Currently, SoftBank is negotiating with TSMC and a number of other chip manufacturing companies to secure production capacity for these AI chips FOR4D.

The cost of developing this AI chip is said to be hundreds of billions of yen, one of which comes from SoftBank. However, when these chips are mass produced, the AI ​​chip business will be separated from ARM and will be directly under SoftBank FOR4D.

For your information, ARM is the manufacturer and design of processor cores whose licenses are used in almost all cellphone chips in the world. From there they get royalty income, which is then used to expand the data center business, where many companies want to make their own chips to run AI models and reduce their dependence on Nvidia.

ARM’s entry into the AI FOR4D ​​space comes at the right time, because demand for AI chips is increasing and so far it has almost doubled the value of Arm’s shares since its initial public offering last September 2023. ARM’s capitalization with this increase has now reached more than USD 100 billion.

Will AI Make People Lose Their Jobs?

Morrissey Technology – Amid rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), many workers are anxious about the future of their careers. AI, which is increasingly sophisticated and capable of performing a variety of human tasks, has raised questions about the relevance of human skills in the future. Director of the Digital Economy and Economist at the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Nailul Huda revealed that there are many jobs that can be replaced by AI. Even so, human existence is still needed.

“We can’t close our eyes. AI will replace human jobs. But we still need it. AI’s development must also come from humans who ordered it to create artificial intelligence,” said Nailul in Jakarta.

He added that the presence of AI creates new jobs. It’s just that at the same time new challenges emerge. “Don’t let new job opportunities emerge but instead foreign workers will come in,” said Nailul. Therefore, he reminded us to improve our abilities. So that it is not eroded by AI and foreign workers. “We have to be prepared to become qualified human resources. When jobs are lost because of AI, new jobs appear but they are filled by foreign workers,” said Nailul.

Expert Prompt

In a world increasingly influenced by AI, the ability to communicate with machines is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, Deputy Minister of Communication and Information (Wamenkominfo) Nezar Patria needs expertise in creating prompts. Prompts really determine the effectiveness of generative AI. Well-designed prompts can lead AI to produce relevant, accurate and innovative responses.

“Generative AI will read the prompts created, adapting to the impulses given,” said Nezar FOR4D.

To make a good prompt, according to the Deputy Minister of Communication and Information, it’s not just anything. There is knowledge in everything and fortunately nowadays it is easy to learn through online courses. “Who is good at making prompts will be more advanced in utilizing AI,” concluded Nezar.

Apple Creates Secret AI Lab, Includes Ex-Google Engineers

Morrissey Technology – Apple is suspected of poaching a number of artificial intelligence (AI) experts from Google and establishing an AI laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland. This research facility aims to research and produce new AI-based products and also create machine learning models. The alleged hijacking of a number of AI experts from Google comes from an analysis conducted by the Financial Times.

The Financial Times analyzed hundreds of job vacancies, profiles on LinkedIn, and learned a number of things over the past few years. From there they suspect that Apple has recruited at least 36 AI experts from Google, starting with John Giannandrea in 2018, who is now the boss of Apple’s AI division, specifically as SVP Machine Learning and AI Strategy.

Then according to professor Luc Van Gool from ETH Zurich, Apple has opened a research and development lab in Zurich called Vision Lab. The research facility employs experts from two local startups that have been acquired by Apple, namely FaceShift and Fashwell. FaceShift, a motion capture startup, was acquired by Apple in 2015 and Fashwell, an AI-based visual search startup, was acquired in 2019.

Apple even has two recruiting offices in Zurich, and according to the Financial Times FOR4D, one of the offices looks so closed off that even people working nearby don’t realize it’s an Apple office. Apple declined to comment on the existence of these secret offices and laboratories.

So far the team at Vision Lab has produced a number of research results related to generative AI, which focuses on models for using text and image input to produce accurate answers. For example, a user can ask where to buy a jacket whose image was taken using a cellphone camera. The machine learning model can provide answers in the form of a list of shops that sell the jacket.

Until now, Apple has not made much noise regarding this research, and is even considered to be late in entering the AI ​​sector. This is because other large technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and others have released various AI-based products over the past few years.
