Times When AI Went Wrong In The Real World

AI has advanced dramatically in the recent few decades. What was previously thought to be only feasible in science fiction films like Men in Black or The Matrix is now a reality. AI is already pervasive in areas ranging from health, fashion, and real estate to food and tourism. Its popularity has grown so rapidly that it has given rise to several strange uses.

It’s not all peaches and cream, though. According to a survey of worldwide firms that are already utilizing AI, a quarter of the corporations polled indicated a 50% failure rate for their AI initiatives.

1. Tesla car crash

Elon Musk’s Tesla ran into difficulty after a Tesla Model S crashed north of Houston in April, killing two people. The automobile had missed a tiny curve on the road and collided with a tree. According to early investigations and witness testimony, the driver’s seat was unoccupied at the time of the incident. As a result, it’s thought that Tesla’s Autopilot or Full Self Driving (FSD) technology was activated during the collision.

Tesla’s AI-powered Autopilot technology can manage steering, acceleration, and braking in specific instances. According to Musk, AI is intended to learn from the activities of drivers over time. Several safety advocates have chastised Tesla for not doing enough to prevent drivers from becoming overly reliant on its Autopilot functions, or from utilizing them in scenarios for which they were not built.

2. Amazon AI showed bias against women

Amazon began developing machine learning techniques in 2014 to examine resumes. The AI-based trial hiring tool, on the other hand, had a serious flaw: it was prejudiced toward women. The program taught to evaluate applications over a ten-year period by reviewing resumes submitted to the firm. Because the majority of these resumes were provided by males, the algorithm learned to prefer male candidates. This meant that resumes containing phrases like “women’s” (as in “women’s chess club leader”) were devalued. Graduates from two all-colleges women’s were similarly ranked lower.

3. AI mistakes a head for a ball

An AI-powered camera meant to automatically track the ball at a soccer game ended up monitoring the bald head of a linesman instead. The event occurred at the Caledonian Stadium in Scotland during a match between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ayr United. The Inverness club had resorted to employing an automatic camera instead of human camera operators during the outbreak last October.

However, “the camera kept mistaking the ball for the bald head on the sidelines, robbing spectators of the genuine action while focusing on the linesman instead,” according to sources.

4. Microsoft’s AI turns sexist and racist

Microsoft introduced Tay, an AI chatbot, in 2016. Tay conversed with Twitter users in a “casual and humorous manner.” In less than 24 hours, however, Twitter users manipulated the bot to post highly sexist and racist comments. Tay used artificial intelligence to learn from its exchanges with Twitter users. The more it conversed, the “smarter” it grew. Soon after, the bot began repeating incendiary claims made by users, such as “Hitler was correct,” “feminism is cancer,” and “9/11 was an inside job.”

As the disaster developed, Microsoft was forced to pull the plug on the bot just a day after it was launched. Later, Microsoft’s Vice President of Research, Peter Lee, apologized.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Tips & Tricks You Should Know

Samsung has announced three new flagship phones for 2023: the Galaxy S23, the bigger Galaxy S23+, and the top-tier Galaxy S23 Ultra. All will be available on Android 13 with One UI 5.1. If you’re used to Samsung’s software, you’ll be OK, but if you’re coming from an older device, you may notice that there are a lot of new functionalities and that things have relocated. The same is true if you’re an Android user: it’s familiar, but not identical. The Galaxy S23 has a lot packed inside it, and this is the definitive guide to figuring it out.

Top tip

If you get stuck, slide up from the bottom of the screen to open the applications tray on the Samsung Galaxy S23. To help you discover items, there’s a search bar at the top that searches settings, applications, contacts, calendars, and more.

Find setting

Locate the following settings: Much of what follows requires entering the settings; to do so, swipe down from the home screen and look for the cog in the upper right corner. When you tap here, you’ll be sent to the settings menu.

Turn on gesture navigations

Turn on gesture navigation: Samsung still offers button controls, which may be enabled by default. If you wish to use Android gestures, go to settings > display > navigation bar. You can modify the arrangement of the buttons or pick ‘Swipe gestures’ instead.

Alter your home screen

Alter your home screen: A long hold on any home screen’s wallpaper allows you to edit the wallpaper and style, themes, widgets, and access other options. This section also allows you to add screens (swipe to a new page and tap the large + in a circle) and erase entire screens (hit the trash can icon up top).

Customize UI colors

Change the colors of your UI: Through the home screen choices, you may access Android’s Material You feature. Then, select wallpaper and style. Aside from altering the backgrounds from the defaults, including animated ‘video’ alternatives, you’ll find the option for color palette in this area. This allows you to change the colors of the user interface based on your background. That option is also available for icons, but it only applies to native Samsung applications or folder backgrounds.

Link to Windows

You can sync to a Windows PC to manage mobile alerts, see recent images, make and receive calls through PC, access messaging/conversations, and sync mobile apps. Toggle it on in settings > linked devices > Link to Windows. You will then be guided through the setup procedure.

Turn on Google Assistant

Enable the “Hey/Ok Google” hot word: The Google app includes the hot word for getting Google to answer with just your voice. If you didn’t activate this on the first setup, the best method to access the settings is to launch Google Assistant (as above) and say “show me Google Assistant settings”. You’ll then navigate to the settings menu, where the first choice is for Hey Google and Voice Match, which you may enable.

Turn on eye comfort shield

Turn on the eye comfort shield: This adjusts the color of the display in order to eliminate blue light, avoid eye strain, and maybe help you sleep better. Toggle on ‘Eye comfort shield’ in settings > display. By selecting this option, you may choose between adaptive and custom modes, allowing you to have it on all the time or only from a specified period.

Sajjad Ali’s Opens Up About His ‘Fake Sister’ Going Viral

Last week, a woman came forward on social media claiming to be Pakistan’s favorite singer Sajjad Ali’s sister. However, in a recent video posted on the official account of the singer, Ali shut down the rumors by calling them fake.

Sajjad Ali In The Industry 

Sajjad Ali, who has been serving in the Pakistani music industry for almost forty-three years now, has shared his views regarding netizens and social media users who give heeds to such baseless rumors for clickbait and money. While addressing the claims the singer stated,

“I don’t even know her, I know people do such things for clickbait and money, if she needed the money she could have asked, she could get better help but I know things are different, they are done by the people who are after someone’s fame or success and they want to tarnish the image or want attention.”

Take a look at the detailed post below

While calling out the rumors and rumormongers, the actor claimed that his reputation is never at stake with such kind of behavior. He further said that he is aware of his loyal followers who have made sure to always stay loyal despite all the controversies that have arisen over the years.

“They are done by the people who are after someone’s fame or success and want to tarnish the image, but I know that the people and my loyal fans, whom I’m working for, are aware of all the truth. Therefore, I’m least affected by such stupid claims,” the singer concluded.

The singer also noted that he is not going to take any legal action against the woman since he believes that she came forward with the fake news under the influence of a bigger party.

Will AI Open New Career Paths Or Replace Jobs? Find Out

By

People have been discussing the implications of artificial intelligence and other new automated technologies on America’s employment market since ChatGPT hit the globe by storm last autumn. The idea that “robots are snatching our jobs” was bolstered further by viral videos showing new, “totally automated” McDonald’s and Taco Bell locations.

The immediate reaction to these films is to fear that robots will take our jobs; however, while AI and other forms of automation have advanced, this does not necessarily imply that they will eliminate jobs. Instead, new technology is merely altering how we work and the types of employment that exist. Behind screens, machinery, and charming robot faces, automation technology has brought in a fleet of covert laborers. Robots and chat-bots do not replace humans; they just keep them out of sight and out of mind. While disconnecting customers from the staff who serve them may benefit the firms, there is emerging evidence that it is a bad bargain for the employees.

The famous robot operated Mcdonlads video

In many cases, these films and tales — and the concerns they inspire — are devoid of critical context. The future McDonald’s is a concept shop outside of Fort Worth, Texas, that aims to increase service speed and accuracy by effectively disconnecting the contact between its employees and customers. However, this does not imply that there are no humans in the store. If you watch the video closely, you can see a worker in the rear behind a pane of glass. McDonald’s has stated that the store is not “totally automated,” and that it employs a similar number of employees as a typical location.

Even if these tools appear to be more advanced, this isn’t the first time a robot-driven freak-out has occurred. Less than a decade ago, new technological breakthroughs sparked a similar worry that robots were on their way to humans. According to a 2014 study, automation will remove 47% of all occupations by 2034, and self-driving technology would abolish the need for human taxi and delivery drivers, while long-haul truckers are on borrowed time.

People frequently overlook the extent to which robots still require human beings to function in the midst of the fear-mongering about a robot takeover. Consider customer service: Businesses have been attempting to minimize expenses for years by replacing human phone conversations with chat-based, automated customer-service bots. However, rather than replacing customer service representatives, many of these text-based technologies still rely on human backups in difficult scenarios and to give consumers the impression that they are speaking with a real person.

What about corporate jobs

Companies will tell you that the automation drive is all about efficiency and better servicing consumers. McDonald’s says that its concept shop would improve service and result in fewer incorrect orders, but Tesla claims that automated data labeling is more efficient. The assumption is that these robots or software solutions would make a work faster or better, making life simpler for businesses and customers alike. However, these technologies do not make the process more efficient; they simply transfer the necessary labor away from the end user and detach individuals from the effort required to provide a product.

AI is positioned as providing different sorts of empowerment and liberation: we will be able to work more effectively, spend less time performing chores, and whatever we desire will be a click or touch away. However, such promises seldom give an honest picture of how that technology is reshaping our society or the full cost of those ostensible benefits. Automation may empower some individuals, but it makes life far more difficult for unseen employees who keep everything running.

The PSL games have started and although they are currently taking place in Multan, they will soon make their way to Karachi. The eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which will be played at the National Bank Cricket Arena from February 14 to 26, will have a traffic diversion plan as revealed by the police on Monday.

“A special traffic plan has been prepared for parking and alternative routes for cricket fans,” a police represenative said in a statement.

Karachi Traffic Plan For PSL

Details indicate that journalists travelling from Karsaz should park their cars at the National Coaching Centre and China Ground, which are located on Sir Shah Suleman Road and connected by the Stadium Flyover via Habib Ibrahim Rehmatullah Road.

The spokesperson added that after passing through Stadium Road and the National Coaching Centre, China Ground, on Sir Shah Sulaiman Road on the right side of the stadium flyover, the media representatives arriving from Millennium Mall should park their cars there (Pir Sabghatullah Shah Rashidi Road).

Additionally, media representatives arriving from New Town should park their cars at the National Coaching Center, China Ground on Sir Shah Sulaiman Road on the left side of Stadium Road following Aga Khan Hospital (Pir Sabghatullah Shah Rashidi Road).

Fans travelling from different parts of Karachi can park at Dalmia close to Garib Nawaz Football Ground. They will be required to present the original identity card and the parking match ticket. They will be transported by shuttle from the ground to the National Stadium.

Stadium Road traffic from Liaquatabad No. 10 Hassan Square Bridge will not be permitted. The traffic police spokesperson also noted that traffic will not be permitted to proceed in the direction of the stadium from University Road’s Expo Centre turning while traffic will still be permitted to proceed from Stadium Road to Hassan Square.

All forms of heavy traffic will not be allowed to enter Hassan Square from the stadium signal.

“The public is requested to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and traffic police to avoid trouble,” the official requested.

The representative further said that people should heed the rules and keep their vehicles and motorcycles off any main or service roads.

Quetta and Peshawar will also host PSL matches in 2024, according to Najam Sethi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee, who spoke during the occasion. “PSL has granted Pakistan a number of assets. We may be proud that this has grown to be a global brand. Several local and foreign players are making their debuts this year”. He added. He mentioned how the competition had provided national team players like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Hasan Ali. “Full congratulations in advance to those who will win”. Let the game begin. Sethi ended his speech. Here is his speech.

HBL CEO Muhammad Aurangzeb then addressed the crowd. The CEO of HBL anticipated that the young athletes will do well in the competition. He, likewise, urged the spectators there and everywhere else to take pleasure in the competition. No matter who wins, Pakistan has truly triumphed, he continued.

The ceremony moved ahead with the first performance of the night. Sahir Ali Bagga, a well-known music composer, and Aima Baig, a super singer, added to the lineup and provided performances for the spectators. Here is their performance.

Followed by these two stars was the new and brilliant dance group that performed a mashup of all the old and new PSL anthems. The Colony is a dance group from Lahore that showcased its talents at the PSL opening ceremony.

After this performance, came the most awaited performance of the night. The new PSL anthem has already been receiving immense love from the audience and yesterday was its first-ever live performance. The energetic and pumped Asim Azhar, Shae Gill, and Faris Shafi rocked the stage.

Elon Musk To Unveil Tesla’s “Master Plan Part 3”

By

Source: Mashable AE

Tesla is frequently regarded as a one-of-a-kind example in the automobile business. There is no doubt that the producer of electric cars has managed to gain a significant lead over all of its Western competitors. According to Counterpoint, it had 13% of the worldwide passenger electric car market in the third quarter of 2022 with Volkswagen, the second-largest Western automaker in terms of passenger electric vehicle sales, with a 4% market share.

This dominance is evident not merely in sales numbers but, more importantly, in profit. Profit margins at the Austin, Texas-based firm are unprecedented in the automobile sector. Such margins can be seen in technology organizations.

Tesla’s profit margins

According to its annual report, Tesla’s automotive gross margin was 28.5% last year. Ford had an adjusted margin before interest and taxes of 6.6% in 2022, while GM predicted its adjusted Ebit margin in North America would be 10.1%.

According to a survey by ZT Corporate analyst Azhar Hirani, the average profit margin for major automobile businesses globally between 2015 and 2020 was about 7.5%. Profitability varies per firm, but Hirani believes that luxury automobile brands, such as BMW, will have better profit margins than general and cheap brands. There are, however, exceptions to this trend, such as Volkswagen and Toyota, both of which indicate economic potential.

Critics of Tesla and Musk frequently point out that the firm benefits from cheaper expenses than incumbent automakers. Costs associated with gasoline automobile manufacture are borne by GM, Ford, Volkswagen, and other automakers. Costs associated with their dealer networks, etc., must be added to this. Tesla has no retail locations. The Model 3 sedan, Model S sedan, Model Y SUV, and Model X SUV are all sold directly to customers by Tesla. Tesla also does not promote, in contrast to its competitors, who spend millions of dollars on marketing.

Tesla strong in the cost game

Musk, on the other hand, feels it’s about more than just cutting expenses. The billionaire believes that the secret to his company’s long-term prosperity is also dependent on the product, or the automobiles manufactured. This is what he just said in a Twitter thread.

Large incumbent carmakers sell their vehicles at low to zero actual margins, according to a Twitter account that often tweets pronouncements from Musk, as he is known at Tesla. The majority of their earnings come from selling replacement components to their fleet, 70% to 80% of which are out of warranty. Razors and blades, for example.

It’s all about the automobile, really. Tesla automobiles do vary from other manufacturers in terms of appearance, both outside and inside. The lines are clean and straightforward. The Tesla vehicle takes pleasure in providing its consumers with a completely unique experience, not only via its power and the technology it incorporates but also through its sleek and slightly futuristic style, which defies the preconception of electric automobiles. Tesla also places a premium on interior capacity and an unmatched sense of room.

Furthermore, Musk and Tesla pioneered the over-the-air transmission of software upgrades in automobiles with new features and capabilities. Vehicle owners are alerted when an update is ready and given information on how to install it themselves. This keeps their vehicles up to date with the newest advancements while also providing the automobile manufacturer with a consistent stream of revenue through subscriptions for service updates.

Samsung Phones To Get More Camera Assistant Features

As part of its Good Lock series of modules, Samsung released the Camera Assistant app last year, allowing Galaxy owners to tweak even more settings in their phone’s camera app. Smoothing, automated HDR, lens change, and more features are available. According to a post on the Korean Samsung Community site (h/t: SamMobile), Samsung has upgraded the Camera Assistant with new features and changes.

The all-new quick-tap shutter feature 

The most striking new feature is a quick-tap shutter option, which allows you to shoot a shot when you initially hit the shutter key rather than when you release the shutter button. Enabling this function also affects the behavior of the shutter key when held, first shooting a photo and then producing a GIF, video, or photo burst.

Another new feature in the Camera Assistant update is the ability to minimize the screen while filming, which is a useful method to conserve battery life. Without touching the screen, users may configure the display to darken after a minute, two minutes, five minutes, or ten minutes of recording.

Existing features have also been improved, beginning with the smoothing/softening toggle. Instead of a basic on/off toggle, this is now a three-stage option (off/medium/high). The business demonstrated the impact with varied levels of sharpness.

The Faster Shutter option has also been improved, allowing you to select between capturing standard-resolution or high-resolution images. When shooting at standard resolution, you have the option of selecting quality priority (slower but higher quality), a balanced option, or speed priority (faster shooting at the expense of quality). Meanwhile, photography at high resolution provides just quality and speed priority options.

Samsung is also expanding the timing settings available through the Camera Assistant app. You may now take an image every 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds, or 3 seconds. Because of the high screen brightness and extensive processing, the phone might occasionally overheat while using the camera continually. You may assist the phone stay cool by using the Camera Assistant app to darken the screen. You may use it for longer-than-one-minute video recordings (or 10 minutes).

Updates will be available on certain models 

Samsung also revealed that the Camera Assistant app will be available on a far larger number of high-end Galaxy handsets. The app will be available for all Galaxy S series phones beginning with the Galaxy S20 series and ending with the Galaxy Note 20 series. It will also be accessible on foldable phones, beginning with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 2. Here is the entire list:

  • Galaxy Note 20
  • Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
  • Galaxy S20
  • Galaxy S20+

Is The AI Revolution Spinning Out Of Control?

The AI “revolution” has arrived, and it already appears to be getting a little out of hand. With the prospect of easy profits looming, many firms have begun to roll out new tools and solutions that leverage artificial intelligence to improve user experience. Search engines, Hollywood, and the media sectors all appear eager to get involved. Nonetheless, this completely uncontrolled industry has the ability to significantly change existing industries, our way of life, art, legal systems, and even our brain. Here are some of the warning signals that the robot revolution might turn out to be a disaster.

1. Chat GPT passes a coding exam

ChatGPT appears to be intelligent enough to be employed by Google. According to NBC, the internet giant evaluated ChatGPT for coding aptitude in the same manner that new programmer hires are generally tested, and it passed with flying colors. “Amazingly, ChatGPT is recruited at L3 [level 3] when interviewed for a coding position,” according to an internal note obtained by the news source. According to PC Magazine, such a career pays an average yearly income of $183k. Others who have tested the chatbot have expressed worry about the job stability of human developers.

2. Chat GPT being used by judges in court

One of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard is to automate our legal system. Even so, people are saying it. In a troubling recent development, a Colombian court opted to use ChatGPT to deliver a legal judgement on an autistic child’s medical insurance. Judge Juan Manuel Padilla Garcia allegedly believed it would be a good idea to save time during the hearings by using the chatbot. The justifications for this decision will be decided using artificial intelligence (AI),” Garcia stated in his conclusion. “What we truly want is to reduce the time spent crafting judgments after confirming the material given by AI.”

3. AI replaces voice actors

According to a recent Motherboard report, the entertainment sector is likewise attempting to automate voice acting. According to the publication, voice performers are being asked to give up their rights to their own voices so that AI systems may generate “synthetic” replicas of their sounds. According to the publication, these new contractual duties are only one of several concerns performers have about the advent of voice-generating artificial intelligence, which they claim threatens to drive entire swaths of the profession out of employment.

4. AI entering the Stock Market

Of course, AI is now thrilling Wall Street, just like every other dazzling new bauble that smells like money. According to The Morning Brief, the “stock market hype machine” has now landed on everything with “AI” in its name, which means that any firm whose product can claim minimal relation to automation is now poised for a huge NASDAQ glow-up. As the Brief points out, it’s essentially web3 all over again.

5. Using AI to spy on people

What is the most terrifying thought? Combining surveillance and artificial intelligence to produce super-smart spying devices. That doesn’t seem promising. Unfortunately, Wired recently revealed that AI is being linked into large networks of security cameras in Russia in order to build cities where “there is no place to hide.” Charming! I can’t wait for the American edition.

Tim Hortons’ launch happened a few days after a man died in a stampede while in line to buy flour for his family. Some individuals shared videos of long lines at Tim Hortons and at grain stores to emphasize the dire economic situation in the nation, which they attribute to the Pakistani elite’s love of Western coffee brands. However, the condition caused an uproar on the internet. People were comparing the current economic downturn and questioning the government’s claims of increased inflation. Here are some of those reactions.

Famous actor and singer, Farhan Saeed, also tweeted about the crisis and his tweet has been going viral. People agree with him and say that he’s speaking facts.

Other than reacting to the surprising economic conditions of Pakistan, people were also tweeting about how overrated Tim Hortons is. Critics said that Lahoris will go crazy about anything and everything. Here have a look!

On the other end of the spectrum, some people on Twitter are supporting Lahoris saying that everyone should let the city enjoy a coffee shop opening if they want to.
