of wrote 20 years ago from personal experience, and then it s been extrapolated out from there. but in a nutshell, it s set on a remote monastery in the 1940s, so the backdrop is the second world war. and the monastery is being presided over by a nun, who i play, who s officiating mass, the priest is dead. and one night, unceremoniously, a young indigenous boy is dumped on the doorstep of the monastery to be cared for as part of the reprehensible government policy of assimilation of indigenous children, in order to separate indigenous children from their culture. and this powerful spirituality of this young boy destabilises the surety of the catholic faith there, and these strange miracles start to happen. which we see so vividly in the performance by this little boy, by aswan reid, just nine years old, and you can t take your eyes off him when he s on screen. he s absolutely magnetic. erm, i mean, we were so lucky to find him. i remember warwick. warwick thornton and i start
most successful actors. she s won notjust one but two academy awards. brought up originally in australia, she s returned to her roots for her latest film, the new boy, which she s also produced. it s the story of a young boy from an indigenous background who s kidnapped and then forced to live in a catholic orphanage. cate blanchett, welcome to the arts interview. thank you. so i wanted to begin byjust getting you to explain the whole idea of new boy. well, it s a film by warwick thornton, who s one of australia s great directors. he s a cinematographer, he s a writer, and this is a film that s intensely personal that he s sort of wrote 20 years ago from personal experience, and then it s been extrapolated out from there. but in a nutshell, it s set on a remote monastery in the 1940s, so the backdrop is the second world war. and the monastery is being presided over by a nun, who i play, who s officiating mass, the priest is dead. and one night, unceremoniously, a young indige
the ai helping radiologists to diagnose cancer. you can see these little white dots. the ai is highly suspicious. and in the fast moving game of ai artwork, who owns what? and can artists protect their work? for some time, artificial intelligence has been all around us. you might not have noticed it, but your video streaming services, social media feeds, the maps on your smart phones, they ve all been steadily improving their performance because the computers behind them have been learning. and then last year, something important happened. yeah. ai got human or at least it felt like it did. companies like google and openai started showing off stunning photorealistic images like these, all created by ai from short text descriptions. and then ai started having conversations with us. they were starting to generate stuff that felt human. this field of generative ai seems to have exploded so quickly. chatgpt is the single fastest growing application in human history. and it keep
yeah. ai got human or at least it felt like it did. companies like google and openai started showing off stunning photorealistic images like these, all created by ai from short text descriptions. and then ai started having conversations with us. they were starting to generate stuff that felt human. this field of generative ai seems to have exploded so quickly. chatgpt is the single fastest growing application in human history. and it keeps getting better. the latest version, gptli, even seems to be able to look at a picture and work out what would happen next. and just look at what the latest ai image generators can do. notjust still pictures, but remarkably good videos as well. this short film was created by one user simply by typing carefully worded text descriptions into his phone. i think the reason many people are now paying attention to ai is that it s finally behaving like the ai we were promised in the movies computers that we can chat to and that are doing humanl
but it is very different in the sense that president biden, it is thought to be about ten documents that he had done this was during his time as vice president and as a senator, some were found at his home in wilmington in delaware and others at the headquarters of a former think tank he was a part of. but he cooperated with the department ofjustice in order to get those documents back, the same thing happened with former vice president mike pence who is not going to be charged by the department ofjustice so it is very different, but it has not stopped trump of accusing president biden of weaponising the department ofjustice to go after him which president biden has completely dismissed. as you mention, he did say republicans are treated differently to democrats by the justice department. a lot of messages that came out in his speech, but of course one of the questions that experts have tried to answer is whether or not he could face prison time if found guilty, if convicted.
