Sheryl Crow Calls Out Drake’s AI Experiment as ‘Hateful’
In what could be considered a crossroad of ethics and artistry within the music industry, Sheryl Crow has openly criticized Canadian rapper Drake for utilizing artificial intelligence to mimic the voice of the late Tupac Shakur. In Drake’s latest track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Tupac’s voice, resurrected through AI, has sparked not just controversy but a conversation on the boundaries of posthumous digital impersonations. Crow went as far as to label the act “hateful,” highlighting the dilemmas artists and audiences face in this new era of AI-enabled creativity.
Google Translate Breaks Language Barriers with AI
On the brighter side of technological progress, Google Translate has achieved a groundbreaking expansion, now boasting an additional 110 languages to its service. This leap was made possible through the adoption of cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, marking it as Google’s largest expansion to date. The AI’s potential to break down language barriers promises a more interconnected and accessible world, offering users worldwide the chance to communicate without the confines of language limitations.
Global AI Preparedness: US Leads, Others Follow
The global landscape of AI readiness has been mapped out in the latest report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Ranking countries based on their capacity to integrate artificial intelligence into their economies, the US has emerged at the forefront. Meanwhile, powerhouses like China, Russia, and Iran seem to trail behind in various key measures. The report not only positions countries on a global scale but also reiterates the call for action among policymakers. The aim is to harness AI technology in a manner that ensures its benefits are universally accessible, paving the way for a future where AI-induced innovation propels societal advancement.
The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Creative Jobs
