The constant advances in the development of artificial intelligence immerse us in a fascinating universe of new possibilities. A prominent example is the creation of algorithms with the capacity to analyze neuroimages and genetic and physiological data of numerous individuals.

There are various theories about the potential of artificial intelligence, especially its ability to replace or even surpass human activities, with a special focus on ingenuity and creativity. Viren Jain, a leading Californian specialist in computer science and cognitive science, a leader in the study of brain connectivity, addresses this question in a recent paper article published in Nature . It questions whether a learning machine can really be used to build models that simulate brain activity.

The functional integration hypothesis, supported by scientists such as Giulio Tononi or Christof Koch suggests that consciousness arises spontaneously in complex systems such as the human brain, that is, it is inherent from birth. This implies that if artificial intelligence were to one day build a system as complex as our brain, its superior emergent capabilities could develop spontaneously in that system.

This approach undoubtedly opens the door to a passionate and secular debate on whether the intelligence of an artificial system could come to equal, and even surpass, that of its own creator. However, at present, this possibility seems distant and unlikely.

Sometimes writing an email can become a tiring and boring task, but thanks to Outlook's new functionality, that will no longer be a problem.

A few months ago, Microsoft introduced the innovative "Sound Like Me" feature for Outlook, a feature powered by the Microsoft Assistant. Copilot that personalizes each email to reflect each user's unique writing style.

In a recent update on the 365 Roadmap website, the tech giant has revealed its plans to bring this functionality to classic Outlook for Windows. Dubbed “Draft by Copilot,” this feature appears to be an evolved version of “Sound Like Me,” allowing us to compose new messages or reply to emails with the support of Copilot’s artificial intelligence.

Microsoft has announced that this feature will be available starting in February next year, marking a milestone in the classic Outlook user experience for Windows.

In addition to this new feature, other exciting features will also be added to classic Outlook for Windows in February, including “Coaching By Copilot.” Powered by artificial intelligence, this feature acts as our personal email coach, providing real-time tips and suggestions. It also gives us the ability to adjust the tone and length of our messages, offering a more personalized and effective communication experience.

With these upcoming updates, Microsoft continues to demonstrate its commitment to constantly improving the user experience in its applications, combining technological innovation with everyday practicality.

The EU gives the green light to the first artificial intelligence law in the world .

The project aims primarily to establish regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) based on its risks to society. It is emphasized that as the risk increases, stricter rules apply.

Dubbed a “flagship legislative initiative” by the Council, the AI ​​Act seeks to foster the development and adoption of safe and trustworthy AI across the EU Single Market, by both public and private actors.

It is important to note that this provisional agreement is subject to ratification by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. This step comes at a crucial time, as AI is experiencing rapid growth and becoming a relevant player in various sectors.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, editing images no longer requires complex technical knowledge. Here, we show you some of the best tools for image editing.

Google boasts of having a language model superior to ChatGPT and capable of reasoning like a human

A year ago, an artificial intelligence chatbot application developed by OpenAI was launched. Chat GPT uses learning techniques capable of giving responses almost like those a person would give and with a surprising ability to generate texts, computer code or summarize information.
