Artificial Intelligence

AP World leaders are expected to adopt a new agreement on artificial intelligence when they gather virtually Tuesday to discuss AI's potential risks but also ways to promote its benefits and innovation.The AI Seoul Summit is a follow-up to November's inaugural AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in the United Kingdom, where participating countries agreed to work together to contain the potentially "catastrophic" risks posed by galloping advances in AI.

NPR -  Scarlett Johansson's legal team is demanding that OpenAI disclose how it developed the voice for its AI personal assistant. The actress says it sounds uncannily like herself. At a live demonstration last week, many observers compared the AI voice to Johansson's character in Her, a science fiction film about a man who falls in love with the female voice of his computer's operating system. OpenAI said the voice wasn't patterned after Johansson but that it was disabling it. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, twice approached her about licensing her voice, but she declined, NPR's Bobby Allyn reports. In a statement, she wrote she was "shocked, angered and in disbelief" when she heard the voice demos.
