For the first time in their 4,500-year history, the Egyptian Pyramids have hosted an art exhibition. Forever Is Now, which ran until early November 2021 and featured an international cast of artists, one of which was Ai-Da – a British humanoid AI robot named in tribute to the genius mathematician Ada Lovelace. Ai-Da’s drawing arm and her drawing AI algorithms were designed by Egyptians Salaheldin Al Abd and Ziad Abass. These algorithms allow analysis of the subject Ai-Da is looking at and use the resulting data set to create the movements required for the drawing arm. Her repertoire has extended to performance art and clay modelling. But who is the artist? Is it Ai-Da or the people who created her?
在其4500年的历史中，埃及金字塔首次举办了一场艺术展览。该展览一直持续到2021年11月初，吸引了众多国际艺术家的参与，其中之一是英国人形人工智能机器人AI - da，以纪念天才数学家Ada Lovelace命名。AI - da的绘图手臂和她的绘图人工智能算法是由埃及人Salaheldin Al Abd和Ziad Abass设计的。这些算法允许对Ai-Da正在查看的主题进行分析，并使用结果数据集来创建绘图臂所需的动作。她的剧目已经扩展到表演艺术和泥塑。但是谁是艺术家呢?是艾妲还是创造她的人?

Newly appointed chief scientist at the Alan Turing Institute in central London, Mark Girolami discusses why artificial intelligence has become 'big news' and how data-centric engineering is at its core. "ARTIFICIAL intelligence is very much an umbrella term," says Mark Girolami. "When we say AI, what we're really describing is a whole load of technologies that are characterised by three components at their core: data, computing and algorithms." Girolami, who has taken up the post of the Alan Turing Institute's first chief scientist, says that while there are plenty of people out there crossing over into philosophy and neural sciences "solving intelligence", his approach to AI is based on these three interrelated parameters. A University of Cambridge academic, he also holds the Royal Academy of Engineering research chair in data-centric engineering. The two positions "feed off each other", he says.

"THE WEAPONISATION of deepfakes against politicians or nation states has become something we're simply going to have to live with," says Michael Grothaus. Author of 'Trust No One', an investigation into the nature, origins and future of the deepfake video. Grothaus thinks that the days of innocent 'face- swapping' for the amusement of the YouTube audience, or even the merging of celebrities into pornographic videos, have dramatically transformed into "a real threat."
Michael Grothaus说:“针对政客或民族国家的深度伪造武器化已经成为我们不得不忍受的事情。”《不相信任何人》一书的作者，该书调查了深度造假视频的性质、起源和未来。格罗索斯认为，那些单纯为了YouTube观众的娱乐而“换脸”的日子，甚至是把名人放到色情视频里的日子，已经戏剧性地变成了“真正的威胁”。

AT £999, THE IPHONE 13 PRO is not that far in price off a DSLR camera that can match it for resolution up to and including 4k video. You get a lot more functionality with an iPhone, but the comparison feels apt because Apple's latest smartphone flagships - this handset and the 13 Pro Max - lean heavily on their visual capabilities.
IPHONE 13 PRO售价999英镑，与数码单反相机相差不远，后者的分辨率甚至可以达到4k视频。iPhone的功能要丰富得多，但这样比较比较合适，因为苹果最新的智能手机旗舰——这款手机和13 Pro Max——严重依赖于它们的视觉能力。

WITH THE PUBLICATION of its National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (NAIS), the UK joins the roll of nations jostling to assert 'superpower' status in the field of AI. Published in September, the government's 10-year plan is founded on the contention that competitive pre-eminence in AI is a "top-level economic, security, health, and wellbeing priority [that is] vital to national ambitions on regional prosperity and for shared global challenges".
