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.

You've probably heard of many ways to put strong passwords on your devices. For example, adding numbers, capital letters, symbols , and other special characters . However, there's a much more effective way to improve security: including emojis in your passwords.

Emoticons can be used on various websites and are highly recommended.

The user can use a combination of emoticons that have meaning for him. This way, he will always remember his password. And it is very difficult for cybercriminals to develop a way to make sense of these emojis .

The only downside to all this is that not all sites support the use of emoticons for passwords .

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

Problems related to Artificial Intelligence are something that concerns both professionals and citizens in general. A decade ago, specialists in the field, such as Carlos Fernández Hernández or Pierre Boulat, were starting out in this field, delving into the disputes that could arise and the future of Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is the fastest developing technology, which raises legal questions that are still unresolved. As an example, Who will be responsible if a robot makes a technical error that results in the death of a human being? How will personal data be protected from now on? And what about intellectual property?

The regulations previously analysed, which are expected to come into force in a short period of time, aim to achieve a balance between technological progress and ethics and the protection of human beings.

Without a doubt, the biggest challenge is the ethics of technology, and this is largely due to the fact that, at the moment, there is no single definition of what is meant by Artificial Intelligence.
