📺 ITV FINALISING AI ACTOR DEAL
ITV (that’s a British TV company for those non-brits) is finalising a deal with an actors union that includes provisions for AI.
It is unclear exactly what the proposal entails, but apparently, actors involved in their long-running soaps will have AI clauses in their contracts.
When they sit down together, negotiators from ITV and Equity (a union) will discuss AI claims and what is known as synthesisation, the potential for actors’ faces to be cloned and used in other shows.
Hollywood will be watching extremely closely, as the ongoing strikes are centred on AI.
Who would have thought Emmerdale would create a watershed AI moment?
Do you think AI actors are a good or bad thing?
📚 BOOK RECCOMENDATION
The best books to dive deeper and get real insights on artificial intelligence.
The Sentient Machine
The Sentient Machine by Amir Husain contemplates the concept of sentient AI and its potential societal impacts. The book explores the idea of AI systems achieving human-level consciousness and the ethical and practical considerations surrounding this idea.
🇬🇧 UK GOV LAYS OUT AI SUMMIT
The government has laid out five objectives for the AI Safety Summit, which include agreeing on a shared understanding of risks with international stakeholders and establishing a “forward process” for international collaboration.
The UK is continuing preparations for the first international summit, which is set to take place at Bletchley Park on 1 November, with the goal of taking global leadership on AI.
The five measures are:
A shared understanding of the risks posed by frontier AI and the need for action
A forward process for international collaboration on frontier AI safety, including how best to support national and international frameworks
Appropriate measures that individual organisations should take to increase frontier AI safety
Areas for potential collaboration on AI safety research, including evaluating model capabilities and the development of new standards to support governance
It’s shaping up to be a very interesting summit, as the ongoing AI arms race unfolds. AI Wacky Races!
