NEW YORK — Explosive allegations that Sports Illustrated ran articles under artificial-intelligence authors — and later attempted to cover up doing so — continue to outrage readers, the outlet’s employees and the journalism community at large. On Monday, the website Futurism reported fake authors with AI-created headshots populated the SI site and would be periodically removed and replaced with others. Some of the actual articles were also created by AI, a source claimed. “The content is absolutely AI-generated,” that source told Futurism, “no matter how much they say that it’s not.” One such ......

A lengthy executive order on artificial intelligence signed Monday by President Joe Biden is expected to give a big boost to AI development in Silicon Valley. Bay Area experts say the guidelines and government oversight promised in the order, a whopping 20,000-word document, will lend confidence to significant numbers of potential business customers who have not yet embraced the technology, which Silicon Valley companies have been furiously developing. Organizations of virtually every kind have been “kicking the tires” on the technology but are holding off on adoption over safety and security ......

CHESTERFIELD, Missouri — The Mercy health system plans to roll out a series of artificial intelligence-based tools in the coming months, in partnership with Microsoft. Mercy, based in a St. Louis suburb, is the sixth largest Catholic health care provider in the country, operating in four states. Its efforts are still in the early stages, but if they succeed, officials believe the technology could help patients navigate the health care system, reduce burden on medical staff and monitor for errors. They aim to get a few programs up and running sometime next year, but officials are already lookin......

A new study suggests that OpenAI’s GPT-3 can both inform and disinform more effectively than real people on social media. The research, published in Science Advances, also highlights the challenges of identifying synthetic (AI-generated) information, as GPT-3 can mimic human writing so well that people have difficulty telling the difference. The study was motivated by the increasing attention and interest in AI text generators, particularly after the release of OpenAI’s GPT-3 in 2020. GPT-3 is a cutting-edge AI language model that can produce highly credible and realistic texts based on user p......

A team of scientists recently found they could predict which songs would become popular hits by measuring people’s brain activity while they listened to music and then analyzing the data using artificial intelligence. The models based on neurophysiologic measures provided significantly more accurate predictions compared to relying on people’s self-reported preferences. Their new study has been published in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence. Streaming services like Spotify and Pandora have invested in technologies to identify and introduce new music tailored to subscribers’ existing playlist......

DETROIT — Sterling Heights, Michigan-based pizza chain Jet's already uses artificial intelligence as part of its ordering technology, and now it's using AI to come up with new menu ideas. The "ranch veggie pizza" was developed using an AI-powered chatbot. The pizza has the chain's famous ranch dressing, plus mozzarella, feta cheese, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives and tomatoes. "Though an interactive exchange, the chatbot AI contributed unique insights and innovative ideas," according to a Thursday press release.
