Artificial Intelligence to help Turkish judges write decisions, and reports

🤵‍♀️News - The Supreme Court of Turkey has announced that it will be using artificial intelligence systems in some judicial tasks, such as composing reasoned decisions and preparing reports.

The announcement was made by Supreme Court head Mehmet Akarca during the inauguration ceremony of the new judiciary year.

🧝What exactly did he say? Akarca said that the AI systems will be used to "improve the efficiency and transparency of the judiciary." He also stressed that the systems will be operated solely through the court's servers to prevent outside interference.

The Supreme Court has been using this technology for a long time. They have already created an AI-powered center that shares the court's rulings. These rulings are helping local courts understand the laws better.

Interestingly, the Supreme Court is also considering using AI to fairly divide the work between judges, assign cases, make initial decisions, and evaluate the performance of employees.

UK outlines priorities for global AI safety summit in November

🧑‍⚖️News - The UK government has set out the objectives for its upcoming global artificial intelligence safety summit, which will be held on 1-2 November.

The summit will gather people from the tech industry, universities, and government to talk about the potential dangers of AI.

Its focus will be on how to develop national and international standards to mitigate the risks of AI. This could include things like designing ethical guidelines for the development and use of the technology, or creating mechanisms for holding AI systems accountable.

🤶More details about the summit? Tech expert Matt Clifford and former senior diplomat Jonathan Black are leading the preparations for the summit which will be held at Bletchley Park.

While the countries await a solid governance around AI, experts are seeing the summit as an opportunity for the UK to showcase its leadership in AI safety.

Meanwhile, the UK government has also announced its plans to invest £100 million in computer chips to help build a national AI Research Resource.

Avatar director James Cameron fears AI more than he's excited about

🧟‍♂️News - In a recent interview, Avatar director James Cameron expressed his concerns about the dangers associated with artificial intelligence. Cameron said that he is more scared than excited about AI, and that he believes it could be used for evil purposes.

🕵️‍♂️What was he most concerned about though? The director's concern was that the accuracy of information is becoming increasingly difficult to verify, especially on social media. Simply put, deepfakes and chatbots are making it increasingly difficult to trust the sources of information. This is likely to become a more serious problem in the years to come.

Cameron also agreed to the fact that we may no longer trust human reasoning because we know how limited it is when compared to an AI.

Well, the use of AI in the entertainment industry has become a major concern in Hollywood. Recently, it also led to a significant dispute between the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

• In 2020, the Estonian Ministry of Justice introduced the world's first AI-powered "robot judge." The AI, known as Liisi, was used to handle small claims disputes with the hopes of clearing the backlog for judges and court clerks.

• In 2016, Microsoft developed a famous chatbot called 'Tay' to experiment with AI and human interaction on social media. But the chatbot learned from negative interactions and started posting racist and offensive content, which led to its shut down after running for only one day.

💫Mythbuster

Myth - AI art is limited to copying styles

Fact - AI's creative potential goes beyond imitation. It replicates styles but can also generate fresh aesthetics. Advanced techniques like GANs blend styles, spark inspiration and push artistic boundaries. AI amplifies creativity, allowing art that would be impossible to express through conventional means.
