Oh great. Another AI threat only this one is stealthy.
ChatGPT was disruptive, swarms of AI agents will be revolutionary
We face a future of networked swarms of AI agents, interacting, competing, autonomously negotiating with each other and — where necessary — with humans, to achieve their respective goals. This is an incredible moment in history for anyone with an entrepreneurial attitude.
… Simply put, employers will likely increasingly face a choice: try to make their employees more productive with AI tools or choose to replace many of them entirely. In May 2023 the firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that AI was the 7th leading cause of job losses in the US. At what point will AI become the leading cause of job losses? Five years? Two Years?
… At the time of writing, the website There’s an AI for that lists more than 9,000 available AI models for over 2,000 different everyday business tasks, from creating Powerpoint slides and building websites all the way to therapy bots and models which streamline the scientific process itself.
‘Bad Clearview’ becomes ‘Good Clearview,’ or at least ‘too useful to toss out with the bath water Clearview.’

Ukraine’s ‘Secret Weapon’ Against Russia Is a Controversial U.S. Tech Company
Leonid Tymchenko spent the first month of Russia’s invasion sitting in his dark government office after curfew. Unable to go home, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs scrolled through Telegram, looking at thousands of videos and images of advancing Russian soldiers. When Tymchenko was offered a chance to test a new facial-recognition tool, he uploaded some of the photos to try it out.
He could not believe the results. Every time Tymchenko added a photo of a Russian soldier, the software, made by the American facial-recognition company Clearview AI, seemed to come back with an exact hit, linking to pages that revealed the soldier’s name, hometown, and social-media profile. Even when he uploaded grainy photos of dead soldiers, some with their eyes closed or their faces partially burned, the software was often able to identify the person. "Every day we identified hundreds of Russians who came to Ukraine with weapons,” Tymchenko tells TIME in a video interview from his office in Kyiv.

Social Media Sleuths, Armed With AI, Are Identifying Dead Bodies
Poverty, fentanyl, and lack of public funding mean morgues are overloaded with unidentified bodies. TikTok and Facebook pages are filling the gap—with AI proving a powerful and controversial new tool.

Does A.I. Lead Police to Ignore Contradictory Evidence?
Too often, a facial-recognition search represents virtually the entirety of a police investigation.
Perspective. (And yes, I might try it this way.)

To Educate Students about AI, Make Them Use It
… To do so, I created an AI-powered class assignment. Each student was required to generate their own essay from ChatGPT and “grade” it according to my instructions. Students were asked to leave comments on the document, as though they were a professor assessing a student’s work. Then they answered questions I provided: Did ChatGPT confabulate any sources? If so, how did you find out? Did it use any sources correctly? Did it get any real sources wrong? Was its argument persuasive or shallow?
The results were eye-opening: Every one of the 63 essays contained confabulations and errors.
Soon to be in common use as communicators in all fields will find it irresistible. When there are millions of these fakes on the Internet, how will we separate the wheat from the chaff?
AI Voice Clones and Deepfakes: The Latest Presidents’ Engagement Tools
The friendly but authoritative voice of Astrid Tuminez delivers a cybersecurity PSA, narrating over an animated version of herself. Throughout the cartoon, the voice of the Utah Valley University president warns of perils such as phishing and phone scams before delivering a final, surprise reveal: the voice that sounded like Tuminez was that of an artificial intelligence–enabled bot.
“Trust that gut feeling that does not feel right,” the voice says. “And here’s a twist: you’ve been listening to an AI clone of President Tuminez’s voice.”
Then the real Tuminez appears, saying, “Just as my voice can be mimicked, so can others’; always be vigilant.”
