5 things about AI you may have missed today: AI data workers demand protection, AI MRI tools, more
24.10.2023 - 17:53 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Ai
Today, October 24, turned out to be a pivotal day in the field of artificial intelligence. In the first incident, data workers in the US who are training AI have written an open letter to the policymakers urging them to safeguard their rights and livelihoods. This comes ahead of the second AI Insight Forum which is going to be hosted by the US Senate with AI leaders. In other news, a new study has assessed AI-based imaging techniques to diagnose multiple sclerosis. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.
In a letter directed to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who serves as the Senate Majority Leader, laborers and organizations representing civil society have called upon Congress to protect against a "dystopian future" marked by extensive surveillance and meager wages for those responsible for training AI algorithms.
“The contributions of data workers, often invisible to the public, are critical to advancements in AI. The corporations failed to adequately answer the questions posed by members of Congress. We therefore urge you to consider how workers, across sectors, are already impacted by new technologies and respond to their demands,” said the letter.
The letter added, “To guard against this dystopian future, Congress should develop a new generation of economic policies and labor rights related to prevent corporations like Amazon from leveraging tech-driven worker exploitation into profit and outcompeting rivals by taking the low road”.
According to a report by News Medical, a new study has assessed the effectiveness of AI-based tools in evaluating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test results and has found that it can more sensitively and accurately evaluate such reports of disease activity than conventional methods based on radiology reports.
A reference group was established using MRI scans from more than 3,000 individuals without health issues and an independent set of 839 individuals diagnosed with MS. Uniform processing methods were applied to both datasets.
A group of senior experts has cautioned that potent artificial intelligence systems pose a threat to social stability, as per a report by The Guardian. They have called for AI companies to assume responsibility for the consequences of their products. This warning was issued on Tuesday, just as global politicians, tech firms, academics, and civil society representatives are gearing up to convene at Bletchley Park next week for a summit focused on AI safety.
“It's time to get serious about advanced AI systems…These are not toys. Increasing their capabilities before we understand how to make them safe is utterly reckless,” said Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Echo might be the most R-rated thing the MCU’s done yet
The first trailer for Marvel Studios’ Echo is full of surprises. It’s shockingly violent, as we watch Kingpin beat a man half to death, and see his adoptive daughter Maya Lopez (the eponymous Echo) throwing savage blows and snapping the necks of street-level scum. There’s even a very brief Daredevil cameo. (OK, that last part is not really a surprise; we knew that Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio would return as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, respectively, for Echo.)
