Google Caught Manually Taking Down Bizarre AI Answers

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

This is just embarrassing.Control-Alt-DeleteGoogle manually removed AI-powered search results from pages where it was caught giving bizarre and incorrect information to search users, The Verge reports.Last week, on the heels of Google's all-in-on-AI I/O conference, netizens and journalists alike took to social media in droves to share screenshots of Google's new "AI Overview" — in short, a new AI function tacked to the top of Google search pages that gobbles up search results and paraphrases what it finds — spitting out head-scratching, false, and in some cases downright conspiratorial answers to search queries.Case in point, the AI feature was caught telling…

How 3D printers can give robots a soft touch

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIRobotics Research; Detectors; Engineering; Engineering and Construction; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Neural Interfaces; Hacking

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A recent study demonstrates that soft skin pads doubling as sensors made from thermoplastic urethane can be efficiently manufactured using 3D printers. "Robotic hardware can involve large forces and torques, so it needs to be made quite safe if it's going to either directly interact with humans or be used in human environments," said project lead Joohyung Kim, a professor of electrical & computer engineering at the University…

Fusion Funding Has Fizzled

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Funding to startups focused on fusion energy has declined sharply in recent quarters after hitting a high two-and-a-half years ago. So far this year, just $58 million has gone to companies innovating around the future of fusion as a potential power source, per Crunchbase data. By contrast, more than $2.4 billion went to the space in the fourth quarter of 2021, the peak period for funding. For a sense of how fusion-focused startup funding has fluctuated, we used Crunchbase data to chart out investment to the space over the past 14 quarters. As you can see, there was something resembling…

CausalConceptTS: Causal Attributions for Time Series Classification using High Fidelity Diffusion Models

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

[Submitted on 24 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled CausalConceptTS: Causal Attributions for Time Series Classification using High Fidelity Diffusion Models, by Juan Miguel Lopez Alcaraz and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Despite the excelling performance of machine learning models, understanding the decisions of machine learning models remains a long-standing goal. While commonly used attribution methods in explainable AI attempt to address this issue, they typically rely on associational rather than causal relationships. In this study, within the context of time series classification, we introduce a novel framework to assess the causal effect of concepts,…

German partnership to bring together quantum and supercomputing

stp2y0 CommentsNews

German quantum computer startup eleQtron and Forschungszentrum Jülich’s world-leading supercomputing centre are entering into a development partnership to make their trapped-ion quantum computer operational by the end of 2024. Prof. Dr. Christof Wunderlich and Dr. Habil Michael Johanning, eleQtron’s two founders, were involved in the construction of the first German quantum computer. Using trapped ions for quantum information processing allows for more accuracy, but the complex control systems it requires can reduce overall operational efficiency, and both partners believe collaboration will allow them to overcome this barrier and enable hybrid quantum–classical algorithms to be used in practice for the first…
