Can I still be the boss?

Reinventing the Organization for GenAI and LLMs

Every previous method of organizing was intensely human, built on human capabilities and limitations. That is why traditional organizational models have persisted for so long. Human attention remains finite, so we needed to delegate our tasks to others. The number of people who can work in a team is limited, so we needed to break organizations into smaller parts. Decision-making is complicated, so we embraced layers of management and authority. The technology changes, but workers and managers are just people, and the only way to add more intelligence to a project was to add people or make them work more efficiently through tools that helped them communicate or speed up their work.

But this is no longer true. Anyone can add intelligence, of a sort, to a project by including an AI. And evidence shows that people are already doing so — they just aren’t telling their bosses about it: A fall 2023 survey found that over half of people using AI at work are doing so without approval, and 64% have passed off AI work as their own.





First, but many more to come. If my AI could explain how your AI created the video, would it be admitted?

Washington state judge blocks use of AI-enhanced video as evidence in possible first-of-its-kind ruling

A Washington state judge overseeing a triple murder case barred the use of video enhanced by artificial intelligence as evidence in a ruling that experts said may be the first-of-its-kind in a United States criminal court.

The ruling, signed Friday by King County Superior Court Judge Leroy McCullogh and first reported by NBC News, described the technology as novel and said it relies on "opaque methods to represent what the AI model 'thinks' should be shown."

"This Court finds that admission of this Al-enhanced evidence would lead to a confusion of the issues and a muddling of eyewitness testimony, and could lead to a time-consuming trial within a trial about the non-peer-reviewable-process used by the AI model," the judge wrote in the ruling that was posted to the docket Monday.

TrueMedia.org Launches a Free AI-enabled Deepfake Detector to Help Newsrooms

TrueMedia.org, a non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to fighting AI-based disinformation, announces the launch of its deepfake detection technology for reporters, and other key audiences to use ahead of the 2024 U.S. elections. The free tool is currently available to government officials, fact checkers, campaign staff, universities, non-profits, and reporters of accredited news organizations – from progressive to conservative and everyone in between. The organization has partnered with best-in-class technology providers, researchers, and leading academic labs to create a useful, easy to use, and highly accurate tool. Using an unprecedented model based on AI technology not previously available for public use, the deepfake detector tool allows registered users to input links from TikTok, X, Mastodon, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, Google Drive, or Facebook to test for signs of media manipulation. TrueMedia.org’s technology has the ability to analyze suspicious media and identify deepfakes over 90% of the time across audio, images, and videos. Examples of recent deepfakes flagged by TrueMedia.org include an alleged Donald Trump arrest photo and an alleged photo of President Biden with top military personnel. In both cases, the TrueMedia.org tool indicated substantial evidence of manipulation… The launch comes amid a sharp rise in deepfakes due to the broad availability of generative AI and associated tools that facilitate manipulating and forging video, audio, images, and text.

Generative AI has made it harder for experts like journalists, academics, researchers and misinformation specialists to recognize real content from fakes. Imagine how hard it must be for the general public to do that; TrueMedia.org is a timely and much needed solution to this problem,” said Charles Salter, President & CEO of the News Literacy Project. The timing is critical as a growing number of Americans obtain their news from social media channels, as evident in a recent Pew study which found the percentage of TikTok users that get news from the platform has doubled since 2020 and is now at 43%. That same study found that over half of U.S. adults regularly get news from social media…”

A Deepfake Taylor Swift is Teaching Math to Kids on TikTok

Deepfakes of celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Drake, and even the late Queen Elizabeth are teaching math to kids in viral TikTok videos.

According to a report by CBC, popular content creators on TikTok are using AI to manipulate the likeness of famous figures to explain theories in mathematic, physics, and engineering.
