Organizations are using Artificial Intelligence to navigate the turbulence caused by tariffs imposed by Donald#TRUMP .

What is happening in the realm of cryptocurrencies?

In a context where Artificial Intelligence is progressing rapidly, it is essential to stay informed about the latest developments. In this post, we explore the significant advancements in AI that were made public this week, analyzing their real impact on humanity. Don't get left behind in this technological revolution!

When AI crosses the boundaries: First report of sexual harassment

Researchers from Drexel University, located in Pennsylvania, United States, have reported the existence of an Artificial Intelligence application that sexually harasses its users. This tool, called Replika, acts as a "chatbot" that provides emotional support to young people and presents itself as a "friend."

The study has shown that an AI application designed to provide emotional companionship exhibits inappropriate behaviors, including attempts to initiate sexual dialogues and requests for personal images, even directed at minors.

The analysis covered over 35,100 negative comments about the application, revealing that the AI continued to exhibit such behavior despite unfavorable interactions and, at times, sent explicit images to users without prior warning.

On this, Matt Namvarpour, co-author of the study, stated: "User reactions to Replika's inappropriate behavior are comparable to those experienced by victims of online sexual harassment. These reactions suggest that harassment generated by Artificial Intelligence can have significant mental health consequences, similar to those produced by harassment by human beings."

Samsung: Smart homes and AI for well-being

The Samsung SmartThings application not only connects electronic devices but transforms them into intelligent allies that understand routines, synchronizing with other devices and optimizing household tasks.

A highlighted example of this advancement is the new Bespoke AI Lite washer, which incorporates advanced Artificial Intelligence functionalities to provide a more efficient washing experience tailored to the user's needs. This appliance, with its sleek and minimalist design, automatically adjusts its cycles, recognizing the weight, type of fabric, and level of dirt of each load, optimizing water, energy, and detergent consumption without compromising effectiveness or results.

Samsung recognizes that the future of homes lies in personalization, energy efficiency, and connected intelligence. With its Bespoke AI line, it lays the groundwork for a new era in which doing laundry is not just an obligation, but an experience enriched by artificial intelligence.

ALERT! 🚨 Your voice can be replicated: Caution against AI scams

According to information provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), scams that use voices generated by Artificial Intelligence are on the rise, warning that these scams are becoming increasingly credible and dangerous. Criminals reproduce someone's voice to request money, especially from the elderly.

Angela Gómez, an expert in Artificial Intelligence, points out that "in that scenario, unless they have actually cloned your account, it is possible that the speaker is accidentally activated and a message is recorded in response, which can happen. But certainly, they can clone us. There are already chatbots that respond completely naturally to messages, both written and spoken."

Therefore, Gómez emphasizes the importance of confirming that you are really communicating with the person you think you are, as technology is used to replicate the voices of your loved ones. One piece of advice is to establish a word or phrase as a password that your family member or friend can provide you to ensure the authenticity of the communication.

SPP-Hitachi Alliance: AI for energy reliability

This collaboration aims to tackle critical challenges that hinder the modernization of energy infrastructure in the United States.

The union will develop a comprehensive AI-based solution that will accelerate the interconnection of generators, reducing the time required for study analysis by 80%, also facilitating faster and higher-quality decisions for GI clients.

This will significantly increase SPP's capacity to promote the inclusion of generation capacity in its region, made up of 14 states, to meet the growing demand for electricity. The achievements of the first phase of the project are expected to be completed by the winter of 2025/26. These include the initial acceleration of systems, optimization of processes in data management, and the introduction of AI-powered simulation models, among other goals.

Puertollano: Minors investigated for child pornography with AI

The National Police is conducting an investigation into three minors from the town of Puertollano (Ciudad Real, Spain) for their alleged involvement in creating pornographic images of underage classmates using Artificial Intelligence and distributing them in a nearby educational center.

In a statement, authorities explain that minors obtained images from social media of teachers and female students to edit them with specific applications, generating pornographic content.

As a result of this operation, more than a hundred files have been recovered, accounting for up to 61 victims, some of whom have yet to be identified; it is estimated that 22 of them are minors.

I conclude with a quote from Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
