🌍 Global AI Security Guidelines: Fashioning a Safer Digital World In a move as coordinated as a runway show, 18 countries, including all G7 members, have endorsed the world’s first global guidelines for securing AI systems against cyberattacks. Spearheaded by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the US’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), these guidelines are the haute couture of cybersecurity in AI. They focus on a “secure by design” approach, advising developers and organizations to weave security into the fabric of AI technology from the initial design phase through development, deployment, and ongoing operations. The guidelines cover four key areas: secure design, secure development, secure deployment, and secure operation and maintenance, offering a tailored fit for AI security. This global initiative, which includes countries from Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Americas, positions the UK as an international standard-bearer in the safe use of AI. It’s a trendsetting move, ensuring that AI systems are not only smart but also secure and trustworthy, much like a well-crafted designer piece that’s both stylish and durable.

👓 AI Chatbots: The New Black in Tech Fashion: Big names like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are turning the AI chatbot scene into something straight out of a Vogue feature. These tools are like the most intuitive personal assistants – predicting your next word as if they’re reading your mind! But remember, darlings, they’re not infallible. They’re like that daring fashion choice that mostly wows but sometimes… well, surprises!

📸 Sony’s AI: The Authenticity Couturier: Sony’s latest tech is like the watermark on a designer gown, ensuring your photos stay uniquely yours in a world brimming with AI-generated imitations.

📰 Sports Illustrated’s AI Writers: The Controversial New Trendsetters in Journalism In a twist that’s as dramatic as a runway finale, Sports Illustrated has been embroiled in a scandal for allegedly using AI to write articles. This revelation, akin to discovering a designer label is using faux materials, raises questions about authenticity in journalism. According to an investigative report, articles were published under fake AI-generated authors, complete with fabricated bios and headshots. While the Arena Group, which owns Sports Illustrated, denies these allegations, stating the articles were commercial content from a third-party, the incident has sparked a debate in the media world. This situation mirrors the fashion industry’s own struggles with authenticity and originality. It’s a reminder that in the world of AI, like in haute couture, the line between real and artificial can sometimes blur, challenging our perceptions of creativity and originality.

The Guardian announced it would only use generative AI tools that serve the “creation and distribution of original journalism”.
