How Good Are People at Detecting AI?
- AI-generated images and text are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from human-created content.
- As AI content becomes more sophisticated, detecting it is becoming increasingly difficult.
- A study found that those worse at detecting AI faces were more confident in their ability to spot them, magnifying their errors.
- There is a positive correlation between participants' confidence and accuracy, although common misclassifications were linked to subtle artifacts.
- The sophistication of modern AI makes it increasingly difficult for people to identify AI and distinguishing between real and machine-made content.
- AI is becoming better at imitating human creativity, creating and spreading misinformation becomes easier, particularly in areas like political discourse.
- There is a need for technology-based solutions and increased awareness to navigate this new digital landscape.

From WALL\-E to Terminator: bugs, how robots work, and developers' fantasies
- Robots in movies and cartoons are often unique characters with their own set of quirks, bugs, and attention-grabbing features.
- WALL-E is a cleaning bot designed to scavenge and recycle waste on an abandoned Earth. WALL-E displays extreme levels of emotion, deviates from its primary goal.
- Bender from Futurama is a robot sociopath with a huge ego and snarky sense of humour. He steals, drinks, and lies. His behaviour is programmed into his character.
- R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars have bugs too. R2-D2 sometimes shows excessive initiative. C-3PO follows protocols too closely.
- Flight of the Navigator is a sci-fi movie about time travel. The alien ship computer called 'Max' has no back-up storage, putting the data at risk.
- Terminator is the most iconic robot. His biggest bug is his inability to fully integrate into human society. The T-800 model has unsupervised learning limitations.
- Robots like Elon Musk's Optimus robot are designed to help around the house and work as car mechanics.
- PVS-Studio doesn't create robots, but they can help develop software for them bug-free.

Beyond Large Language Models: How Large Behavior Models Are Shaping the Future of AI
- Large Behavior Models (LBMs) are shaping the future of AI by enabling machines to learn the way humans do.
- LBMs move beyond language and replicate the way humans interact with the world. Their learning process is through continuous interactions with the surrounding which makes them adaptable and efficient.
- LLMs are primarily focused on language and struggle with real time decision making or learning from experience. However, LBMs learn from continuous experience so they can adapt and reason in dynamic, real world situations.
- LBMs have interactive learning, adaptability and multimodal understanding as their key features
- LBMs replicate human-like learning by incorporating dynamic learning, multimodal contextual understanding, and the ability to generalize across different domains.
- LBMs have real-world applications in healthcare and robotics for providing personalized healthcare recommendations, complex task handling in kitchen and more.
- The ethical concerns of LBMs are invasion of privacy and unintentional replication of biases from the data.
- The development of LBMs requires clear ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks to ensure their responsible deployment.
- Further development of LBMs can shape the future of AI by making machines smarter and more helpful.
- LBMs shift the paradigm from what the model knows to how the model learns.

- Almanac empowers farmers by delivering actionable insights through a suite of products and digital tools as the trusted source of global farm intelligence.
- Almanac's core product Semios leverages AI, big data analytics, and IoT to give specialty crop growers—farmers cultivating complex crops like almonds, apples, grapes, and citrus—real-time insights to manage their operations with precision.
- Mr. Johal's focus has been on guiding the company's evolution into an integrated, technology-driven platform for agriculture – for all its stakeholders, but with the farmer at its epicenter.
- At Almanac, we believe in balancing the wisdom of traditional farming with the power of technology. We see tech as a tool that enhances—not replaces—the expertise farmers already have.
- Alma is Almanac's connected intelligence and offers the most relevant insights from a farmer’s data, partner integrations, and the greater agricultural community. It helps farmers and advisors to spend less time sifting through reports and more time on the farm.
- Through Almanac’s interface, the insights generated by AI are presented in a user-friendly, visual format, coupled with specific recommendations.
- Almanac recently launched the Open Source Project Office (OSPO). The OSPO is designed to encourage open collaboration across agriculture and foster a global digital ecosystem where knowledge and technology flow freely and enable data interoperability and exchange standards.
- Open-source data has the potential to be a game-changer, especially for small and medium-scale farmers. By removing the high costs and restrictions of proprietary technology, we’re enabling a new level of access to advanced tools and insights.
- Looking ahead, Mr. Johal sees Almanac expanding its role to enable global food intelligence through data and relationships at scale, enhancing its applications to deliver clear ROI and consolidating all user data in one place.
