President Biden issues first National Security Memorandum on AI

President Biden issues first National Security Memorandum on AI

President Biden has issued the US’ first-ever National Security Memorandum (NSM) on AI, addressing how the nation approaches the technology from a security perspective. The memorandum, which builds upon Biden’s earlier executive order on AI, is founded on the premise that cutting-edge AI developments will substantially impact national security and foreign policy in the immediate future. Security experts suggest the implications are already being felt. “AI already has implications for national security, as we know that more and more attackers are using AI to create higher volume and more complex attacks, especially in the social engineering and misinformation fronts,” says…

OpenAI CEO responds to report of GPT-5 Orion coming later this year: ‘Fake news out of control’

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More The Verge last night published an exclusive and seemingly well researched and sourced report (it’s great in my opinion, read it here) from journalists Kylie Robison and Tom Warren stating that OpenAI plans to launch another new frontier AI model, codenamed Orion — which may or may not be GPT-5 — by December. Yet two hours after the article went live, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s co-founder and CEO, took to X to respond by replying directly to Robison’s share of the article,…

Talk to your plants? Now the first AI-powered garden will allow them to talk back

Hardcore gardeners sometimes, when no one else is listening, talk quietly to their prize blooms. But at next year’s Chelsea flower show, visitors will be encouraged to have a chat with its first ever AI-powered garden.The garden designer Tom Massey has partnered with Microsoft to create the Avanade “intelligent” garden. Sensors in the soil are partnered with an AI trained on Royal Horticultural Society plant data and gardening advice, meaning visitors can ask the garden: “How are you?”Massey said: “It could answer: I need a bit more water, I can do with a haircut, maybe.”As well as making gardening easier…

AI is helping brands avoid controversial influencer partnerships   – AI News

Influencer partnerships can be great for brands looking to pump out content that promotes their products and services in an authentic way. These types of engagements can yield significant brand awareness and brand sentiment lift, but they can be risky too. Social media stars are unpredictable at the best of times, with many deliberately chasing controversy to increase their fame.  These antics don’t always reflect well on the brands that collaborate with especially attention-hungry influencers, leaving marketers no choice but to conduct careful due diligence on the individuals they work with. Luckily, that task can be made much easier thanks…

Intern allegedly sabotages ByteDance AI project, leading to dismissal

ByteDance, the creator of TikTok, recently experienced a security breach involving an intern who allegedly sabotaged AI model training. The incident, reported on WeChat, raised concerns about the company’s security protocols in its AI department. In response, ByteDance clarified that while the intern disrupted AI commercialisation efforts, no online operations or commercial projects were affected. According to the company, rumours that over 8,000 GPU cards were affected and that the breach resulted in millions of dollars in losses are taken out of proportion. The real issue here goes beyond one rogue intern—it highlights the need for stricter security measures in…

DeepMind’s Talker-Reasoner framework brings System 2 thinking to AI agents

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More AI agents must solve a host of tasks that require different speeds and levels of reasoning and planning capabilities. Ideally, an agent should know when to use its direct memory and when to use more complex reasoning capabilities. However, designing agentic systems that can properly handle tasks based on their requirements remains a challenge. In a new paper, researchers at Google DeepMind introduce Talker-Reasoner, an agentic framework inspired by the “two systems” model of human cognition. This framework enables AI agents…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More It’s been only two days since Anthropic released its new Claude feature “Computer Use,” but already, early adopters of varying technical abilities are finding all kinds of ways to put it to work — from complex coding tasks to research deep dives to gathering ‘scattered’ information.  Still in beta, Computer Use allows Claude to work autonomously and use a computer essentially as a human does. The groundbreaking capability has broad implications for the future of work, as it can work essentially…

The enterprise verdict on AI models: Why open source will win

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More The enterprise world is rapidly growing its usage of open source large language models (LLMs), driven by companies gaining more sophistication around AI – seeking greater control, customization, and cost efficiency.  While closed models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 dominated early adoption, open source models have since closed the gap in quality, and are growing at least as quickly in the enterprise, according to multiple VentureBeat interviews with enterprise leaders. This is a change from earlier this year, when I reported that while…
