Tbh i was thinking more along the lines of the USA letting things go on as a software trial.
Israel are always going to deny war crimes and thier funders will too. Denying war crimes is standard.

Iron dome, drones, AI targeting - the first almost full trial of an automated war machine.

I am surprised that the Boston Dynamics killer robots haven't been sent in to rip the heads off of some people

That is actually a possibility - That Stoker lad from instagram keeps saying that the Isreali forces have no concept of street warfare whatsoever.

What are the main AI companies in Ireland? Would it be mainly Google, Meta, and Microsoft?
NVIDIA dont have a base in Ireland, so I'm not counting them.

Kinda depends on what you mean by "AI". Pretty much everyone is doing machine learning these days - for example my team uses it to tune image searching, and to try and detect bad image uploads, on wikimedia commons. If you mean ChatGPT type stuff those are called Large Language Models (LLMs) - most of the big tech companies in Ireland like google, meta, microsoft (via their partnership with openai), and amazon are involved somehow. Dunno if any of the new players like OpenAI themselves have an office here - I'd guess not seeing as they're so new

First time I've heard AI-generated music that's actually good, and now I'm kinda relieved I never made it in the music biz

Sounds like something from a modern movie or advert.

Doesn't it? And now all of a sudden anyone who makes their living writing or performing songs for movies or ads is in trouble

Saw the BBC gave the ok last month for AI voices to be used in voice overs, so that's a whole heap of actors thrown on the scrap pile

In my job, they've already stopped hiring VO artists, which was once a core feature of what we do. It's all terrible Ai now

It'll be audiobooks next

There's an Oireachtas committee meeting today with X, TikTok and Meta to do with AI and children.
It's interesting enough.

Looked this up, and it was only for a single project where it was used for the voice of someone who's dying and can no longer speak

Thin end of the wedge though maybe, I guess time will tell

A friend of mine is in the same boat. It's his entire business

There's a segment about social media and kids on Prime Time tonight and they're discussing AI on The Late Debate too.

Yeah read about the Prime Time thing - they did real experiments with TikTok, and as a parent it's actually pretty scary
