Some Generative AI Company Employees Pen Letter Wanting ‘Right to Warn’ About Risks

Some current and former employees of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic published a letter on June 4 asking for whistleblower protections, more open dialogue about risks and “a culture of open criticism” in the major generative AI companies. The Right to Warn letter illuminates some of the inner workings of the few high-profile companies that sit in the generative AI spotlight. OpenAI holds a distinct status as a nonprofit trying to “navigate massive risks” of theoretical “general” AI. For businesses, the letter comes at a time of increasing pushes for adoption of generative AI tools; it also reminds technology decision-makers…

Disentangling Logic: The Role of Context in Large Language Model Reasoning Capabilities

Disentangling Logic: The Role of Context in Large Language Model Reasoning Capabilities

arXiv:2406.02787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study intends to systematically disentangle pure logic reasoning and text understanding by investigating the contrast across abstract and contextualized logical problems from a comprehensive set of domains. We explore whether LLMs demonstrate genuine reasoning capabilities across various domains when the underlying logical structure remains constant. We focus on two main questions (1) Can abstract logical problems alone accurately benchmark an LLM's reasoning ability in real-world scenarios, disentangled from contextual support in practical settings? (2) Does fine-tuning LLMs on abstract logic problem generalize to contextualized logic problems and vice versa? To investigate these questions, we…

How To Create a Virtual ATM Card using Plain HTML & CSS

Imagine at your disposal, you only have a picture of the Master Card Logo and another picture of the ATM card chip, you are tasked to create a visually appealing ATM card from the two separate pictures. You are about to find out how powerful CSS and HTML are. The Tech space is ever-changing but understanding these two languages is crucial for any aspiring Front-End developer. This article will guide you on how to make the front and back sides of an ATM card from scratch. The card will flip to the back or front sides when hovered over. We…

AI chatbots are intruding into online communities where people are trying to connect with other humans

AI chatbots are intruding into online communities where people are trying to connect with other humans

A parent asked a question in a private Facebook group in April 2024: Does anyone with a child who is both gifted and disabled have any experience with New York City public schools? The parent received a seemingly helpful answer that laid out some characteristics of a specific school, beginning with the context that “I have a child who is also 2e,” meaning twice exceptional. On a Facebook group for swapping unwanted items near Boston, a user looking for specific items received an offer of a “gently used” Canon camera and an “almost-new portable air conditioning unit that I never…

From motor control to embodied intelligence

Research Published 31 August 2022 Authors Siqi Liu, Leonard Hasenclever, Steven Bohez, Guy Lever, Zhe Wang, S. M. Ali Eslami, Nicolas Heess Using human and animal motions to teach robots to dribble a ball, and simulated humanoid characters to carry boxes and play football Humanoid character learning to traverse an obstacle course through trial-and-error, which can lead to idiosyncratic solutions. Heess, et al. "Emergence of locomotion behaviours in rich environments" (2017). Five years ago, we took on the challenge of teaching a fully articulated humanoid character to traverse obstacle courses. This demonstrated what reinforcement learning (RL) can achieve through trial-and-error…

AI For The People: Improving Governance And Adoption Are Key For Public Sector AI Efforts

AI For The People: Improving Governance And Adoption Are Key For Public Sector AI Efforts

AI will revolutionize the internal workings of the public sector and how it engages with its constituents in the next five to 10 years, just as open data and third-party apps did in the 2010s. In my new report, The State Of AI In The Public Sector, 2023, I reveal data showing that public sector leaders aim to adopt AI to improve data discovery and quality (36%), streamline business operations (35%), and increase automation both internally and externally (33% and 32%). The US and UK governments are already taking “landmark” actions on the safety of AI tools and testing, but…
