Online battles: combatting false information and reducing online risks

Futurum

Deepfake — manipulation of existing digital media (image, video and/or audio) – e.g., by swapping faces and changing voices – or creation of new media, typically using machine learning-based techniques such as deep learning. For technical degrees and careers, subjects like computer science and mathematics can be useful.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.)

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

But say all we’ve got is the data, and we don’t know what underlying laws govern it. Then we might make a mathematical guess, like that perhaps we should use a straight line as a model: We could pick different straight lines. And a typical example might involve perhaps half a million mathematical operations.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

What about systems that adapt or learn? What about the foundations of mathematics? But that email was right before I discovered yet more kinds of computational systems to explore, and before I’d understood applications to biology, and physics, and mathematics, and so on. What about systems based on constraints?
