AI dominated the conversation at the annual TED conference on Monday. An AI-infused opera kicked off the event and the first talks included a mix of deepfakes and using AI to hear animals whose sounds are too low or high for humans to hear.
An AI-infused opera kicked off the conference and the first talks included a mix of deepfakes and using AI to hear animals whose sounds are too low or high for humans to hear. And that was just Monday, with artificial intelligence topics dominating this week's program and surrounding exhibits.: There's always a fair bit of tech talk at TED, but it's been a while since tech dominated the conversation the way it clearly is this year.
In a live demo, Graham spoke onstage with TED curator Chris Anderson, and on the video monitors, Graham's voice came out sounding like Anderson's — eventually, his face morphed into Anderson's, too.: The demos illustrated the incredible power of AI image transformations — which can depict people seeming to speak languages they don't know.
"We build this stuff and I’m worried," Graham said. "Worried is the right instinct for everybody to have."Tomorrow's morning session is devoted to AI topics and includes a number of the industry's leaders, including OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman — as well as some prominent critics.: It wasn't all AI talk in Vancouver. Nobel Prize Winner Jennifer Doudna detailed her effort to expand the use of the CRISPR gene editing tool she co-invented.
Ted's Audacious Prize has helped her arrange $70 million in funding over seven years to kickstart the effort, which is being coordinated with labs at three University of California campuses.
