Did you think it possible that we'd want to replace human presenters of our media and news, with AI-generated clones? Over a year ago, China's second largest search engine (Sogou) partnered with a state-run news agency to do just that.Journalists and News Presenters are typically expected to be human-powered - personality driven, trust-based principally. Can AI-generated clones create similar Anchors that we trust?https://journalismai.com/2019/05/04/artificial-sincerity-too/image by mohamed Hassan from Pixabay
The Australian Cyber Law Map aims to create an online map of Australian laws that affect cyber security and cyber resilience. There is complexity in that and in future phases the team could be well positioned to identify fundamental gaps in our regulatory and compliance frameworks.Contributions to the Map are made by invited academics and experts working in the field of cyber law and cyber security.https://austlii.community/foswiki/CyberLaw/WebHomeImage by Edward Lich from Pixabay
With so many data breaches being reported daily, organisations are struggling to keep on top of the threat actors, techniques and attacks.Aussie innovators PenTen and Worldstack have collaborated to develop HoneyTrace, a platform using AI to generate unique and realistic 'fake' tokens (like documents, credit card numbers) to lure attackers and allow cyber defenders to be quickly notified of the suspicious presence of any watermark tokens.https://www.honeytrace.io/
Protecting and preserving personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, intelligence insights, and other forms of sensitive information has never been more criticalFully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is an approach to data security that delivers mathematical proof of encryption by using cryptographic means, providing a new level of certainty around how data is stored and manipulated.DARPA continues to lead R&D investment with the latest project seeing collaboration between Intel, Galois and two others part of the project team.https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2021-03-08image credit: Pete Linforth from Pixabay
Typically research papers are peer reviewed before publication (particularly in top journals). While research fraud is not new, the co-director of a prestigious artificial intelligence lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA found his name on papers he didn't co-author. What if Algorithims (AI) could scan existing research papers and generate new content? Would you be able to distinguish? Would authors be aware?https://www.wired.com/story/ai-research-paper-real-coauthor-notimage credit: Image by Anja from Pixabay
