Google DeepMind has announced a new type of AI model for medical research that can predict the structure and interactions of all molecules in life. The so-called "AlphaFold 3" AI model goes beyond the calculation of proteins, explained DeepMind, a subsidiary of the Google holding company Alphabet, and provides particularly accurate predictions for the interactions of proteins with other biomolecules in human cells. The London-based DeepMind subsidiary Isomorphic Labs, which specialises in the use of artificial intelligence in drug research, also played a key role in the development of the AI m...

TikTok is to start automatically labelling content generated using artificial intelligence when it is uploaded from certain other platforms as part of efforts to boost transparency and literacy around AI. The social media giant already requires content created using its own TikTok AI effects to be labelled, but is now expanding that system to include material being uploaded from some other platforms, as it expands its tools for combating misinformation. The video-sharing site said the expanded programme would see it partner with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) and ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots which simulate the language and personalities of dead people risk distressing loved ones left behind through “unwanted digital hauntings”, a researcher has warned. A Cambridge University study suggested that the AI chatbots – known as deadbots – need design safety protocols to prevent causing psychological harm. Some companies are already offering services which allow a chatbot to simulate language patterns and personality traits of a dead person using the digital footprint they have left behind, according to the research. AI ethicists from Cambridge’s Lev...

Catholic Answers announced that its new "Father Justin" chatbot is now to be replaced, first by a character named "Justin" and later by another as-yet-unnamed "lay" AI bot. Catholic Answers, which publishes books and podca...

"Hey, what's the weather like along the route?" When BMW developer Justin Forsyth gets into the prototype of the new Mini Countryman, he no longer has to press any buttons or tap into screen menus. That's because the next generation of the popular small car will also see a new digital assistant go into series production. "It has its very own character, British accent and a touch of English humour", said Forsyth, who works as a programmer at the manufacturer's tech office in Silicon Valley. Forsyth quipped that he was once reprimanded by the car for being a late riser by the chatbot when he onc...

Meta has unveiled the next version of large language model (LLM), the technology behind generative AI chatbots, as the tech giant looks to take on ChatGPT. Called Llama 3, Meta said the latest version of the model is smarter and faster, as well as supporting "improved reasoning." It will first be integrated into Meta AI, the firm’s own virtual assistant, and one that Meta now claims is the “most intelligent AI assistant you can use for free” because of the additional power Llama 3 gives it. Meta is one of a number of big tech firms fighting to challenge market leader OpenAI, whose ChatGPT has ...

Berlin (dpa) — If you get a call from a familiar voice telling you about some emergency, you should be sceptical at first, particularly if a request for money quickly follows. This advice applies just as much when the call seems to be coming from a family member or friend. That’s because fraudsters are increasingly using AI to imitate people’s voices to make such calls. Cybercrime specialists say it's important to try and stay calm despite the stressful situation and don’t make hasty decisions, even if you are being pressured on the phone. Also, don’t reveal any personal information. End the c...
