Artificial Emotion: A Survey of Theories and Debates on Realising Emotion in Artificial Intelligence
Affective Computing (AC) has enabled Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to recognise, interpret, and respond to human emotions - a capability also known as Artificial Emotional Intelligence (AEI). It is increasingly seen as an important component of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). We discuss whether in order to peruse this goal, AI benefits from moving beyond emotion recognition and synthesis to develop internal emotion-like states, which we term as Artificial Emotion (AE). This shift …

Crashing hard: why talking about bubbles obscures the real social cost of overinvesting into “Artificial Intelligence”
More and more commentators talk about and warn of an “AI bubble”, and everybody seems to congratulate each other on being such a smart financial analyst. BUT: A bubble pops and you are left with air and maybe a splash of soap somewhere on the floor. A fairly clean affair. This kind of investor speak

Half of journalists use generative AI, new survey shows. Yet the majority still think it harms trust in newsrooms.😆

MagicMirror: A Large-Scale Dataset and Benchmark for Fine-Grained Artifacts Assessment in Text-to-Image Generation
Text-to-image (T2I) generation has achieved remarkable progress in instruction following and aesthetics. However, a persistent challenge is the prevalence of physical artifacts, such as anatomical and structural flaws, which severely degrade perceptual quality and limit application. Given the diversity and complexity of these artifacts, a systematic and fine-grained evaluation framework is required, which is lacking in current benchmarks. To fill this gap, we introduce MagicMirror, a comprehens…
