Is AI the new "crack" of Minecraft? "Ender Dragon" says so

"World of AI," on Radio Observer, is the daily news where we cover the latest, alerts, and curiosities about artificial intelligence. Today there is an edition from journalist Beatriz Félix. Beatriz, let's start with a new measure by Anthropic to reduce the impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. Precisely. This company announced a public benefit fund yesterday. The objective is to divert 5% of the shares to finance this mechanism, but it depends on the approval of the remaining shareholders. As the market value of Anthropic grows, and moves towards historic values, the board of directors may add another 2% of shares for every 50% appreciation of this company. The fund will allow Anthropic to make donations to public welfare initiatives, including other measures to mitigate the impacts of artificial intelligence on the job market. The company guarantees that no percentage of this amount will be diverted to lobbying activities or political contributions in the United States or abroad. After this fund is approved, the artificial intelligence company can begin to disclose this project and how this fund will be distributed in more detail, which is already planned for the coming months. Beatriz, we continue with another news item to provide a starting point for an increasingly close relationship between artificial intelligence and the work of law enforcement. The police arrested a secondary school teacher in the Chicago area, in the United States, and all of this with the help of artificial intelligence. In September, Christopher Thomas Mertens started a conversation with a minor through a dating application. What this man did not know was that this child was generated through artificial intelligence. It was through the hands of Michael E. Scott, from the FBI, that this account was created, which should correspond to a profile of a 15-year-old boy named Caleb. This investigator used a combination of tools, including verifying the man's phone number and also analyzing facial images through the Clearview AI platform to be able to identify. It was for days that Caleb and Mertens exchanged text messages with explicit sexual content. Mertens even arranged a meeting, he went to the location to meet this minor, Caleb, believing that the parents, who do not exist, would not be at home. The police used another system, Flock, to locate and track the predator's car. As soon as he got out of the vehicle, the Livonia police arrested him. We continue to talk about artificial intelligence as an assistant, but this time in science. And it was through a discovery. A team of researchers achieved an unprecedented advance by combining biology and artificial intelligence to process synthetic information. Computers made from human brain tissue were created, capable of recognizing Braille letters. A team of researchers from the University of Bristol used small clusters of living neurons, cultivated from central cells, and sent them corresponding electrical stimuli to the Braille alphabet. What was the result? A single set of neurons got the letters right more than 60% of the time, but when these three small microbrains were put together, let's say, the accuracy shot up to 83%. The scientists remember that there is still a long way to go to replace traditional chips, but this is already a giant step towards a new era of biological computing, where future computers can process information by consuming a fraction of the current energy. And Beatriz, we close with an artificial intelligence victory. It is no longer a novelty that artificial intelligence has succeeded in several games, but we are now talking about an unprecedented demonstration of autonomy and cooperation between digital systems. There were four artificial intelligence agents, Gemini 4, from Google, that managed to defeat the dragon Ender Dragon in the game Minecraft, and this without any human intervention. The innovative factor here is the real-time communication capability of these artificial intelligence agents. They shared advice, strategies, alerts about imminent threats, and error corrections made during the entire game. Until now, these more complex tasks in virtual environments required the accompaniment of operators, but these agents have already become self-sufficient. Experts consider that this new autonomous work is paving the way for new applications of automation and joint problem-solving in the technology sector. That's it for another episode of "World of AI". We will return tomorrow with more news about the world of artificial intelligence.
