The irony of an AI iPhone is that it could also help one company that Apple is least interested in helping. Investors are increasingly enthusiastic about such a device following Apple’s latest earnings. Those results showed a pronounced weakness in iPhone revenue during the March quarter, but that was already expected, and the company cushioned the news with a generous stock buyback. Chief Executive Tim Cook also used the occasion to further tout Apple’s interest in generative artificial intelligence, which has analysts more convinced that an AI-enabled iPhone is on…

Toronto – When talent search platform Plum noticed ChatGPT sending ripples through the tech world and beyond, it decided to turn right to the source to lay out how staff could and couldn’t use the generative artificial intelligence chatbot. ChatGPT, which can turn simple text instructions into poems, essays, emails and more, churned out a draft document last summer that got the Kitchener, Ont.-based company about 70 per cent of the way to its final policy. “There was nothing in there that was wrong; there was nothing in there that…

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — In an emerging world of artificial intelligence, we’ve got access to mental health tools with the touch of our fingertips.  “It’s exciting, it’s novel, it really does have a lot of opportunity,” said Dr. Brent Nelson, adult interventional psychiatrist and chief medical information officer at PrairieCare. “But there’s the flip side, too.”  Nelson puts it simply: with great power comes great responsibility.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Parscale was the digital guru behind Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the 2016 election and was promoted to manage the 2020 campaign. But he didn’t last long on that job: His personal life unraveled in public and he later texted a friend that he felt “guilty” for helping Trump win after the riot at the U.S. Capitol. He’s since become an evangelist about the power of artificial intelligence to transform how Republicans run political campaigns. And his company is working for Trump’s 2024 bid,…

Or rather, his likeness in the form of an AI avatar does. “He was the chef in the family, so I customized My AI to look like him and gave it Kyle’s name,” said…
