How to create a mind

stp2y0 CommentsNews

This essay explores how cognitive science serves as a blueprint for AI agents, giving us a framework to understand AI developments, pinpoint system gaps, and contrast human and AI minds. We walk through how the key components - perception (data inputs), working memory (context windows), procedural & declarative long-term memory (databases), motor functions (tools), and the orchestrator - all work together. Understanding our minds is a quest that has been pursued since antiquity. Greek philosopher Aristotle explored internal mental processes such as perception, thinking, and memory, laying the groundwork for cognitive psychology. Meanwhile in the East, Indian philosopher Gotama analyzed…

“Cybersecurity shortage” could reach 85 million workers by 2030

stp2y0 CommentsNews

A global shortfall in cybersecurity talent must be tackled rapidly. That’s the view of the World Economic Forum in its Strategic Cybersecurity Talent Framework white paper, which aims to rally millions of industry professionals to help safeguard our digital world.The global cybersecurity workforce grew by 12.6% between 2022 and 2023 – a significant year-on-year climb for any industry. But the talent gap is still far from filled. Today, four million workers in the cybersecurity industry are needed worldwide, the white paper highlights.The workforce shortage is a global concern that spans nation states and industries. Estimates suggest that by 2030 there could be…

Elon Musk’s xAI raises $6bn in bid to take on OpenAI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has closed a $6bn (£4.7bn) investment round that will make it among the best-funded challengers to OpenAI.The startup is only a year old, but it has rapidly built its own large language model (LLM), the technology underpinning many of the recent advances in generative artificial intelligence capable of creating human-like text, pictures, video, and voices.The funding round, one of the biggest yet in the burgeoning AI field, values the company at $18bn before taking into account the $6bn investment, Musk said on X, the social network he owns.Generative AI has so far proven very…

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Billionaire investor Kyle Bass is scooping up land in Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, touting the states' upside potential as both workers and companies shift to more affordable markets."When you think about the US, you look at the coastal region, the West Coast and the Northeast being very high cost, very high tax — one could say mismanaged — jurisdictions," he said in a recent interview with Investor's Podcast Network. "They're moving to pro-business, lower costs, lower, or no-tax jurisdictions." Bass' success in real estate is well established. His winning bet against the 2008 housing market was immortalized in the classic book…

SliM-LLM: Salience-Driven Mixed-Precision Quantization for Large Language Models

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2405.14917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance in natural language understanding but require substantial computation and memory resources. Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a powerful compression technique extensively investigated in LLMs. However, existing PTQ methods are still not ideal in terms of accuracy and efficiency, especially with below 4 bit-widths. Standard PTQ methods using group-wise quantization suffer difficulties in quantizing LLMs accurately to such low-bit, but advanced methods remaining high-precision weights element-wisely are hard to realize their theoretical hardware efficiency. This paper presents a Salience-Driven Mixed-Precision Quantization scheme for LLMs, namely SliM-LLM. The scheme exploits the…

Dove’s latest ‘Real Beauty’ drive – and why AI will be harder to ditch than it thinks

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Beauty brand Dove recently announced it would not use models generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in its advertising campaigns. But is this really an anti-AI stance or merely the marketing of “inclusive” and “realistic” AI-generated images? In other words, is Dove attempting to shape the beauty ideals AI shows consumers, rather than ditching its use entirely? Dove’s owner Unilever is one of the world’s largest multinational, fast-moving consumer goods companies. But the values of the brands it owns vary dramatically, as highlighted by legal action that Ben & Jerry’s brought against Unilever to object to its ice cream being “sold…
