Can AI technology be used to safely revitalize Indigenous languages? What danger does AI pose to the storage and dissemination of Indigenous languages? These are questions explored by Professor Natasha Ita MacDonald and Ali Mehdi who presented at the Tla-o-qui-aht-hosted language conference held September 26-27 at Tin Wis Resort. Dr. Natasha Ita MacDonald is an Inuk from Kuujjuaraapik , Nunavik. She completed her PhD at Concordia University with her research on Inuit-led approaches to decolonizing education and protecting Inuktitut language. She contributes to Indigenous language maintenance and revitalization as Vice-President of Heritage Lab, a non-profit supporting community-led cultural and linguistic preservation through AI.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — At least eight states are suing artificial intelligence giant OpenAI, saying the company's popular chatbot model violated state consumer protection laws by hurting children and deceiving adults. The company's chatbot model, ChatGPT, is giving dangerous medical advice, encouraging paranoia and coaching people to hurt others or commit suicide, Iowa's lawsuit said. At the same time, the chatbots are pretending to be agreeable and compassionate while preying on the vulnerable, according to the lawsuit.

Flight expert Zach Griff shares why he always brings an extra phone in his carry-on backpack. It's probably tucked away in a drawer, stashed in your desk or nightstand, beneath chargers, stray cords, and pieces of paper you don't think you're supposed to throw out but probably will never need again. You probably haven't thought about it since you put it there. But Zach Griff's old phone is in his carry-on backpack. Griff, a travel expert and author of the travel newsletter From the Tray Table, estimates that he flies an average of 150,000 miles a year. And for the past 11 years, he said, he's carried his retired cellphone with him around the world. Why you should always travel with 2 phones

For all their promise, quantum computers have a hard time modeling the interactions between the two families of building blocks that underlie our Universe – can you imagine a chef that struggles to describe how sugar and milk make cake? But researchers may have found a way to overcome this challenge by modeling a theoretical 'hybrid' quantum computer that promises to combine the best of both worlds. The fundamental particles that make up the cosmic cake of our existence are grouped as either fermions or bosons. In simplest terms, fermions are particles of matter, including electrons and protons, and bosons include force-mediating particles, like the photons (light) that carry the electromagnetic force.  Quantum computers are great at modeling fermions, because they're more discrete, just like the qubits that power quantum computing.

Despite knowing that the iPhone Duo would face "severe supply constraints" due to manufacturing challenges, Apple chose to begin iPhone Duo pre-orders on Friday instead of waiting until it had more inventory ready, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, he called this decision a "major mistake. " "Let me cut to the chase: Apple made a major mistake here," he said. "The company knew there would be severe supply constraints but went ahead with the launch anyway, apparently prioritizing a desire to get the device on the market early in its fiscal first quarter over satisfying demand. That will disappoint many of the early adopters most eager to buy it. "
