«آسف لقتل معظم البشريّة» معرض للذكاء الصناعي

تعلن شاشة موصولة بنظام ذكاء صناعي «آسف لقتل معظم البشريّة، شخص مع ابتسامة وقبعة وشاربين»، متوجهة إلى زائر يدخل «متحف سوء الاصطفاف Misalignment Museum»، وهو معرض جديد مخصص لهذه التقنية المثيرة للجدل في سان فرانسيسكو؛ قلب الثورة التكنولوجية، وفقاً لـ«وكالة الصحافة الفرنسية».
وأوضحت مديرة المعرض أودري كيم، وهي تضحك: «مفهوم المتحف هو أننا في عالم ما بعد نهاية العالم، حيث قضى الذكاء الصناعي على معظم البشر، ثم أدرك أن هذا أمر سيّئ فاستحدث ما يشبه نصباً تذكاريّاً لهم، ومن هنا شعار المعرض: آسف لقتل معظم البشرية». والذكاء الصناعي «العام» هو مفهوم أكثر غموضاً من الذكاء الصناعي.
وقالت أودري كيم: «إنه ذكاء صناعي قادر على القيام بأي شيء يقوم به البشر... وعلى التأثير على نفسه أيضاً... على غرار أداة قادرة على إصلاح نفسها»، وذلك من خلال تجهيز الآلات بقدرات معرفية بشرية.
وتزخر سان فرانسيسكو، وتحديداً سيليكون فالي، بالشركات الناشئة المتخصصة في ابتكار مختلف أصناف الذكاء الصناعي، ويحلم بعضها بأن يكون من الممكن مستقبلاً التعامل مع آلة كأنما مع شخص. ولفتت أودري كيم إلى أن هذه الطموحات وهذه الجهود، سواء كانت واقعية أو واهمة، تنطوي على «طاقة تدميرية» قوية. وهدفها من خلال هذا المعرض المؤقت الذي تأمل أن يصبح دائماً، هو الحض على التأمل في المخاطر الحالية والمستقبلية المتأتية عن الذكاء الصناعي.
وعُرضت في القاعة أعمال أودري كيم المفضّلة في المعرض منحوتة تحمل اسم «عناق بمشابك الورق»، تصوّر مجسّماً نصفيّاً لشخصين متعانقين، مصنوعاً حصراً من مشابك الورق. وروت المديرة أن المنحوتة «بإمكانها أن تزداد قوة وترشيداً حتى بلوغ هدفها الوحيد الأوحد؛ وهو الوصول إلى نقطة تدمّر فيها البشرية جمعاء لتُغرق العالم بمشابك الورق».
وهي تهتم بتطبيقات الذكاء الصناعي وبعملية «تلقين الآلة» منذ أن عملت قبل بضع سنوات في شركة «كروز» المتخصصة في السيارات الذاتية القيادة.
وترى أن هذه التكنولوجيا «مذهلة» و«بإمكانها أن تحد من عدد الحوادث الناجمة عن الخطأ البشري»، غير أنها تنطوي كذلك على مخاطر.
وتسارعت الابتكارات في مجال الذكاء الصناعي، العام الماضي، مع تطوير البرامج القادرة على توليد كل أنواع النصوص والصور بصورة آنية؛ استجابة لطلبات المستخدمين.

Maritime trackers received new reports of an attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, adding to concerns about Iran-related threats to energy supplies.

The British navy-affiliated agency UKMTO said it had a report of a projectile hitting a vessel as it moved through the Strait of Hormuz. The amount of damage and the status of the crew were unknown as of early Sunday, the agency said.

UKMTO's report came the day after a drone attack that targeted Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline that both Baghdad and Riyadh said had originated in Iraq, where Iranian-backed militias operate.

Ongoing attacks in the widening Middle East war could send energy prices even higher after a week that saw the cost of Brent crude surge back above $100 a barrel.

The 1,200-km (745-mile) East-West pipeline running across the Arabian Peninsula has served as the main route out for global supplies of Middle East oil for ‌the past six ‌months while the Strait of Hormuz has been largely shut by war.

It has been moving 4 ‌million to ⁠5 million barrels ⁠per day, amounting to 4% to 5% of global supply.

Satellite images showed black smoke rising from an area of the pipeline south of Medina. The attack resulted in some injuries and damage that was being assessed, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said.

US President Donald Trump, visiting Ireland to attend a golf tournament at one of his resorts, said Iran was probably to blame.

Oil prices shot up over the past week and the retail price of diesel in ‌the United States surged past a record $6 a gallon as the United States and Iran ‌both fired on tankers and the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen advanced along the Red Sea, potentially extending disruptions to another major oil route.

IRANIAN OFFICIAL PLAYS DOWN OMAN MEETING

There have been no talks between the ⁠United States and Iran to end ⁠the conflict since a June agreement that collapsed within weeks.

In a post on X on Saturday, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, said: "As long as the American side does not accept all of Iran's conditions, dialogue and negotiation are of no use."

Iran's Foreign Ministry announced on Friday that Iran would be attending a meeting with Gulf Arab states in Oman on Monday, at which the future of the Strait of Hormuz would be discussed.

But a senior Iranian official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity on Saturday, played down the chances of a breakthrough, saying the meeting, called at Oman's initiative, was intended to discuss issues including the strait but was not expected to yield a signed agreement.

An agreement on routes through the strait between Iran and Oman will be presented at the meeting on Monday, which will also be attended by Iraq, but the strait will not reopen unless seven conditions conveyed by Iran to the US are met, a source told Tasnim news agency, without elaborating.

Iran wants its control of the Strait of Hormuz to be recognized, allowing it to collect fees from ships that use it, which Washington rejects. Oman, which controls the opposite bank of the strait, says it is negotiating with the agreement of other regional states.

Saudi Film Commission Participates in the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival

The Saudi Film Commission is participating in the 51st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), scheduled to take place from September 10 to 20, 2026, in Toronto, Canada, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.

The Commission will have a dedicated Saudi pavilion and an official delegation, joined by representatives from Film AlUla, the Red Sea International Film Festival, and the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra), marking Saudi filmmaking’s presence at one of the world’s most prominent film events.

This participation reflects the Commission’s commitment to building international partnerships and creating collaboration opportunities across the film sector, contributing to the sustainable growth of Saudi Arabia’s cinema industry and strengthening the Kingdom’s position as an attractive destination for film production.

The Saudi pavilion at TIFF 2026 will showcase the Commission’s work developing the film sector and highlight the range of filming locations across the Kingdom, helping attract filmmakers and international production companies. Through this participation, the Commission also aims to strengthen engagement with international media outlets and film institutions as well as promote the Kingdom’s incentive programs and production ecosystem to industry decision-makers.

TIFF is one of the world’s leading film events and one of the most important launch platforms ahead of the awards season. Founded in 1976 in Toronto, the festival has grown into a major gathering point for filmmakers, critics, and film institutions worldwide.

Its 51st edition is expected to feature a wide international lineup of films from numerous countries, alongside the TIFF Film Market, which will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from September 10 to 16.

Lübnan Cumhurbaşkanı Joseph Avn, ülkenin güneyinde devletin varlığını güçlendirmeye yönelik çalışmalarını sürdürüyor. Avn dün, İsrail tarafından havaya uçurulan Ali et-Tahir Tepesi’nin yakınındaki Nabatiye kentini ve ilk pilot bölgelerden biri olan Batı Zavtar beldesini ziyaret etti. Güney Lübnan halkının yanında olacaklarını belirten Avn, “Sizi asla yalnız bırakmayacağız” mesajı verdi.

Ziyareti sırasında kendisini karşılayan bölge sakinleriyle dayanışma içinde olduğunu ifade eden Avn, “Güney halkının, özellikle de Nabatiye halkının gösterdiği direniş bizim için en büyük onur nişanıdır. Savaşa rağmen burada kalmaları, dünyaya bu toplumun ve halkın yeniden ayağa kalkabileceği ve her zaman ayakta kalabileceği yönünde verilen en güçlü mesajdır” dedi.

Avn, “Güney Lübnan’da yaşayan herkesin güven içinde yaşaması ve evini, bir daha yıkılmayacağından emin olarak inşa etmesi hakkıdır” ifadelerini kullandı.

İsrail’in çekilmesi, esirlerin ve yerinden edilen Lübnanlıların geri dönmesi ile yeniden imar sürecinin “ulusal sabiteler” olduğunu belirten Avn, devletin bunları hayata geçirmek için çalışacağını söyledi. Avn, bunların “herkesin üzerinde uzlaştığı ortak bir hedef” olduğunu vurguladı.

Avn ayrıca Nabatiye çarşısında yürüyerek yaptığı gezinti sırasında karşılaştığı bölge sakinlerine, ziyaretinin amacının ihtiyaçlarını yerinde tespit etmek ve bunları ilgili bakanlıklar ile kamu kurumlarıyla birlikte karşılamak olduğunu söyledi.

Şarku’l Avsat’ın aldığı bilgiye göre Hizbullah, ziyareti boykot etti. Örgütün siyasi temsilcilerinden hiçbiri Cumhurbaşkanı Avn’ı karşılamaya katılmadı.
