Artificial Intelligence

Composer, performer, author and inventor of the Mutantrumpet, Ben Neill, has written a new book titled “Diffusing Music: Trajectories of Sonic Democratization,” which explores how AI and other technology is transforming how we create and experience sound. He joins us ahead of his concert event, March 27 at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at Florida Southwestern State College.

Education has some lessons to learn about what artificial intelligence can and should do, according to one local expert.Santiago Luaces got involved with a study on artificial intelligence in the classroom because he is in the process of earning a doctorate in education, and a part of that is doing a research internship with FGCU faculty.

Florida Southwestern State College has deployed an “AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solutions” across its four campuses, using their existing camera systems. We talk with one of the founders of the company that makes the system, called ZeroEyes, as well as FSW’s Chief Operating Officer and its Chief of Police.

When OpenAI released the first publicly available, so-called ‘generative AI chat bot’ called ChatGPT, it didn’t take long for users — especially tech-savvy ones — to realize it was a game changer. While forms of artificial intelligence have been used in systems and applications for decades they weren’t this new form of generative AI that were being powered by what are called Large Language Models — or LLMs. As these systems have quickly become more powerful companies and organizations are finding ways to integrate them into all sorts of applications. We talk with two people from the Lastinger Center for Education at University of Florida to find out they’re using these rapidly advancing Large Language Models in the work they do.

Ghostbird Theatre Company is mounting a production of a new play titled “Artificial Genesis” about the end of the world brought about by artificial intelligence. The play itself was written by a generative AI model. We’ll take a closer look in a conversation with the show’s director Barry Cavin and his son Emory Cavin, who’s responsible for the AI interface design and programming that led to the creation of the play.

Nearly three years after rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, the false election conspiracy theories that drove the violent attack remain prevalent on social media and cable news: suitcases filled with ballots, late-night ballot dumps, dead people voting.Experts warn it will likely be worse in the coming presidential election contest. The safeguards that attempted to counter the bogus claims the last time are eroding, while the tools and systems that create and spread them are only getting stronger.

A first-of-its-kind invisible fence project looks to keep cattle on one Southwest Florida ranch contained, provide the property with more efficiency and help protect the environment.
