Improve public speaking skills using a generative AI-based virtual assistant with Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Web Services

Public speaking is a critical skill in today’s world, whether it’s for professional presentations, academic settings, or personal growth. By practicing it regularly, individuals can build confidence, manage anxiety in a healthy way, and develop effective communication skills leading to successful public speaking engagements. Now, with the advent of large language models (LLMs), you can use generative AI-powered virtual assistants to provide real-time analysis of speech, identification of areas for improvement, and suggestions for enhancing speech delivery. In this post, we present an Amazon Bedrock powered virtual assistant that can transcribe presentation audio and examine it for language use, grammatical…

Apple Engineers Show How Flimsy AI ‘Reasoning’ Can Be

Apple Engineers Show How Flimsy AI ‘Reasoning’ Can Be

For a while now, companies like OpenAI and Google have been touting advanced "reasoning" capabilities as the next big step in their latest artificial intelligence models. Now, though, a new study from six Apple engineers shows that the mathematical "reasoning" displayed by advanced large language models can be extremely brittle and unreliable in the face of seemingly trivial changes to common benchmark problems.The fragility highlighted in these new results helps support previous research suggesting that LLMs' use of probabilistic pattern matching is missing the formal understanding of underlying concepts needed for truly reliable mathematical reasoning capabilities. "Current LLMs are not…

Accelerate migration portfolio assessment using Amazon Bedrock | Amazon Web Services

Conducting assessments on application portfolios that need to be migrated to the cloud can be a lengthy endeavor. Despite the existence of AWS Application Discovery Service or the presence of some form of configuration management database (CMDB), customers still face many challenges. These include time taken for follow-up discussions with application teams to review outputs and understand dependencies (approximately 2 hours per application), cycles needed to generate a cloud architecture design that meets security and compliance requirements, and the effort needed to provide cost estimates by selecting the right AWS services and configurations for optimal application performance in the cloud.…

Apple’s AI now delivers breakup texts with the empathy of a robot

Apple’s AI now delivers breakup texts with the empathy of a robot

Just a heads up, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the sale. It’s one of the ways we keep the lights on here. Click here for more. Imagine this: you’re already having a crappy day, and then your phone buzzes with a notification from your soon-to-be-ex. But instead of the usual “hey, we need to talk” lead-in, Apple’s AI decides to cut to the chase: “No longer in a relationship; wants belongings from the apartment.” Yup, that’s a real thing now, thanks to iOS 18.1’s notification summaries feature. According to TechRadar, some…

Anyone Can Turn You Into an AI Chatbot. There’s Little You Can Do to Stop Them

Anyone Can Turn You Into an AI Chatbot. There’s Little You Can Do to Stop Them

Matthew Sag, a distinguished professor at Emory University who researches copyright and artificial intelligence, concurs. Even if a user creates a bot intentionally designed to cause emotional distress, the tech platform likely can’t be sued for that.He points out that Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act has long protected platforms at the federal level from being liable for certain harms to their users, even though various rights to publicity laws and privacy laws exist at the state level.“I’m not an anti-tech person by any means, but I really think Section 230 is just massively overbroad,” Sag says. “It’s…

This Talking Pet Collar Is Like a Chatbot for Your Dog

Humans have been trying to talk to animals ever since we figured out how to form words. In modern times, we turn to technology for the solution—giving our dogs talking buttons to paw at, or trying to use artificial intelligence to help us understand whales.The latest and perhaps most direct approach at human-animal communication is a voice-activated collar that gives your pet the power to talk back to you. Or at least, that’s the idea.John McHale, a self-described “tech guy” based out of Austin, Texas, has a company called Personifi AI. The startup’s goal, as the name implies, is to…
