Not the story of AI, but of individual AIs

The rise of biographies dedicated to AI, especially large language models, is gaining momentum. These stories would document the journey of AIs, from their inception and learning processes to real-world applications. This demand for engaging storytelling could lead to novel genres, such as AI biopics, fostering a deeper connection between humans and AI through relatable narratives and potentially creating a unique market for literature and film.

Novelist accused of using AI to write book removed from French prize list

The organisers of France’s most prestigious literary prize said they had removed a critically acclaimed novel by a Canadian-Haitian writer from the longlist after an anonymous online account claimed the book was “almost entirely” written by AI. The Académie Goncourt, a Paris-based literary organisation, said on Friday its decision to withdraw Thélyson Orélien’s novel C’était ça ou mourir (It Was That or Die) was “driven by the desire to preserve the integrity of the Goncourt prize and the academy itself, whose c…

Folk or AI could be a winner for the UK at Eurovision | Letters

I agree with Laura Snapes that the very last thing we need is MPs’ questionable tastes entering the murky waters of the UK’s Eurovision song choice (What do you think of the MPs’ inquiry into UK Eurovision song contest failure? I give it nul points, 21 September). However, one thing I can’t believe hasn’t happened is for the UK to draw upon our ridiculously rich folk tradition. Loads of other countries do it – Ukraine won it a few years back with a song that infused Ukrainian folk with pop – so why can’t we? And…

‘Like an AI agent’: Wolff hails Antonelli’s Italian GP victory in title charge

Toto Wolff has compared Kimi Antonelli to the greats of Formula One after the Mercedes driver’s remarkable victory at the Italian Grand Prix where he came back to take the flag from 19th place on the grid. The Mercedes team principal cited the win as similar to some of the best made by Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, and said that Antonelli would likely remember the race as one of the greatest of his career. Antonelli, 20 years old and in only his second season in the sport, delivered an exception…

Feeling overwhelmed by the AI doom loop? Here’s the essential reading list to make sense of it all

Have you been feeling trapped in an endless cycle of artificial intelligence hype and panic? You’re not alone. It’s a chaotic time to make sense of the industry that’s reshaping our lives, whether or not we like it. Last week, another AI company employee publicly resigned, warning the technology “could kill us all by the end of the decade”. Despite these dire warnings, AI companies have seen “otherworldly” surges in revenue and driven the US stock markets to new highs as they continue to push AI tools into every…

Artists boycotted this portrait prize over AI entries. Now they’re back to take them on

Poised above the lady in the red dress is a claw. Its metallic fingers grasp to pluck its prize from a jumble of other women while she looks dreamily upward, as if to say “Who, me?” The woman in the red dress is Australian comedian Alice Fraser, as photographed on stage. The other women – generic superheroes and 1950s housewives – were created using the generative AI software Krea. “It is the human being chosen over the AI element,” artist Jackie Ryan says. “But is being chosen a good thing?” Ryan’s work The Cat…

The Spin | Robots bowling the perfect doosra are some way off but AI is already reshaping cricket

Daniel Kokotajlo, a former researcher at OpenAI, warned last week that it was possible we would end up “creating a new species that ends up ruling the world”. Once the initial shock wore off, and I’d considered what this could mean for my young children and the future of the planet, another thought popped into my head: will this new species be able to swing an old cricket ball or navigate a seaming green top? It sounds frivolous. It is frivolous. But the question is not quite as ridiculous as it first appears. F…

Mirror publisher to cut 220 editorial jobs as readers turn to AI summaries

The publisher of the Mirror and Express newspapers is to cut a further 220 editorial jobs as it adapts to a dramatic fall in online traffic while readers increasingly turn to summaries generated by artificial intelligence. Reach, which also owns scores of online brands and regional titles including the Manchester Evening News, the Birmingham Mail and the Liverpool Echo, said the latest cuts were necessary to cope with a “mammoth shift” in how audiences seek out content. The move represents the latest restructure…

Texas’s star quarterback, Arch Manning, has apologized after joking about an AI-generated video that depicted Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN college football reporter Holly Rowe after last Saturday’s game. Manning had been asked at a press conference on Monday about the social media reaction to the Longhorns’ 24-23 upset win over No 1 Ohio State.
