Amidst concerns that employees could be entering sensitive information into the ChatGPT artificial intelligence model, a data privacy vendor has launched a redaction tool aimed at reducing companies’ risk from inadvertently exposing customer and employee data.

Private AI’s new PrivateGPT platform integrates with OpenAI’s high-profile chatbot, automatically redacting 50+ types of personally identifiable information (PII) in real time as users enter ChatGPT prompts.

PrivateGPT sits in the middle of the chat process, stripping out everything from health data and credit-card information to contact data, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers from user prompts, before sending them through to ChatGPT. When ChatGPT responds, PrivateGPT re-populates the PII within the answer, to make the experience more seamless for users, according to a statement this week from PrivateGPT creator Private AI.

As AI technology evolves, it is poised to create a great impact on our personal and professional lives, delivering unprecedented assistive capabilities and bringing value to multiple industries.

Check out this ad created using AI and Machine Learning tools like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and ControlNet!

The ad was created by https://privateisland.tv/ and according to Chris Boyle, co-founder of Private Island, the ad was generated from text prompts using these innovative tools, which they’ve been experimenting with for the past year. With a focus on exploring new ways of working and visual mediums powered by Machine Learning, the team at Private Island is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in creative production. What do you think of this new AI ad?

Fully AI generated movies are coming according to Avengers Endgame director.

It’s no secret that the Russo Brothers are creating content with an eye toward the future. The directors behind some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest blockbusters have already been dropping ominous warnings about the future of cinema as it relates to Gen Z’s viewing behavior and the rise of artificial intelligence. Now, in a new conversation with Collider ’s Steve Weintraub and Epic Games’ Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard, Joe Russo states his belief that a fully AI movie—one so convincing you don’t even know it’s AI—is only two years away.

A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold—freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and at room temperature.

The approach could one day lead to the creation of a new fleet of tiny autonomous devices that can rapidly respond to their chemical environment.

As freshwater scarcity affects millions worldwide, scientists and engineers have looked for new ways of filtering unwanted metals and minerals out of water while retaining those elements for re-use elsewhere.

Capacitive deionization (CDI), a technology in which a membrane made from electrode materials removes metal ions from water, has proved a promising technique for such next-generation water filters. Researchers from University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory envisioned the technique could be made even more efficient if they modified the molecular surface of the electrodes.

The company will pause hiring soon, and expects up to 30% of non-customer-facing roles will be replaced by automation in the next five years.

An AI-based decoder that can translate brain activity into a continuous stream of text has been developed, in a breakthrough that allows a person’s thoughts to be read non-invasively for the first time.

The decoder could reconstruct speech with uncanny accuracy while people listened to a story – or even silently imagined one – using only fMRI scan data. Previous language decoding systems have required surgical implants, and the latest advance raises the prospect of new ways to restore speech in patients struggling to communicate due to a stroke or motor neurone disease.

“For a noninvasive method, this is a real leap forward compared to what’s been done before, which is typically single words or short sentences.”

What if someone could listen to your thoughts? Sure, that’s highly improbable, you might say. Sounds very much like fiction. And we could have agreed with you, until yesterday.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have decoded a person’s brain activity while they’re listening to a story or imagining telling a story into a stream of text, thanks to artificial intelligence and MRI scans.
