Gmail Tightening Rules in 2024 to Fight Spam

Gmail is stepping up its email security game. They've been blocking loads of spam and phishing emails, but now they're tightening the screws on bulk senders, those who send tons of emails. They want these senders to confirm who they really are and make it super easy for you to say, "No more emails, please!" Plus, they're setting limits to keep spam out. It's like giving email a tune-up for a safer and cleaner inbox.

RESEARCH 👩‍🔬

New Approach Unveiled for Explainable AI in Recent Study

Scientists at Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut and TU Berlin have developed concept relevance propagation (CRP), a method to make AI decisions understandable to humans. CRP complements existing explanatory models for deep neural networks by explaining relevant input characteristics, the AI's used concepts, their location in the input, and which parts of the neural network are responsible for them. This breakthrough sets a new standard for AI evaluation and interaction, offering a comprehensive view of an AI's prediction process from input to output.

AI Enhances Online Conversations, Study Reveals

AI can improve online conversations, a BYU and Duke University study reveals. Participants discussing polarizing topics were given AI-generated suggestions to rephrase their messages politely without changing content. This resulted in higher conversation quality and better understanding between those with opposing views. AI's potential for enhancing online discourse offers hope for a more constructive digital environment.

AI Deepfake Ad Featuring MrBeast Lands on TikTok

A deepfake ad featuring popular YouTuber MrBeast made its way onto TikTok, thanks to its convincing portrayal. In the ad, MrBeast offered 10,000 viewers an iPhone 15 Pro for just $2. It raised eyebrows because MrBeast is known for his extravagant giveaways. TikTok's AI moderation initially missed the fake, but it was later removed. Deceptive deepfakes are on the rise, causing concern among celebrities and authorities, as they can be used for fraudulent advertising. It's a growing challenge in the age of AI.
