Study finds brain reacts differently to human and AI voices
A new study shows that while humans struggle to distinguish human and AI voices, our brains respond differently when we hear them. As AI voice cloning becomes more advanced, it raises ethical and safety concerns that humans weren’t exposed to before. Does the voice on the other end of the phone call belong to a human, or was it generated by AI? Do you think you’d be able to tell? Researchers from the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo tested 43 people to see if they could distinguish human voices from those that were AI-generated. The participants were

Big Tech forms AI connectivity standard, excludes NVIDIA
Big Tech computing companies formed a consortium to define a new open standard for interconnecting AI accelerators. NVIDIA was not invited to be part of the group even though it is the largest supplier of AI GPUs by far. AI data centers need to move massive amounts of data with very low latency. High-bandwidth data processing on GPUs happens extremely fast, but the challenge is to transfer data within and between clusters of these AI accelerators within data centers. NVIDIA created NVLink, its proprietary high-speed interconnect specifically designed for communication between its GPUs. The problem is that NVLink is proprietary,

DAI#41 – Pizza glue, safety second, and AI friends with benefits
Welcome to our weekly roundup of artisanal handcrafted AI news. This week Google said we should put glue on pizza. OpenAI says it’s training a new model safely. And Elon Musk says you’ll need a hobby because AI will take your job. Let’s dig in. Hey Google. Are you ok? Google announced its AI Overview search feature last week and said it would change how people found information on its platform. Well, it changed things all right, but not in a good way. Google AI Overview told users that pythons are mammals, suggested they put glue on pizza, and other
