Digital Maturity Key to AI Success in Australian Cyber Security

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

A lack of digital maturity is holding Australian businesses back from realising the benefits of AI for cyber security, according to ManageEngine, an IT security, operations, and service management software firm. Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, head of AI research at Zoho Corporation and ManageEngine, told TechRepublic that many local businesses are having difficulties achieving a return on investment from AI. Digital maturity, he explained, is the key to unlocking AI-driven benefits, such as automated detection and response as well as the rapid upskilling of cyber security staff. AI’s ROI impacted by digital maturity Disconnection between systems and departments has made AI return…

Google to Label AI-Generated Images in Search Results

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Google will soon start identifying when content in search and ad results is generated by AI — if you know where to look. In a Sep. 17 blog post, the tech giant announced that, in the coming months, metadata in search, images, and ads will indicate whether an image was photographed with a camera, edited in Photoshop, or created with AI. Google joins other tech companies, including Adobe, in labeling AI-generated images. What are the C2PA and Content Credentials? The AI watermarking standards were created by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity, a standards body that Google joined in…

Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have developed hexagon-shaped robotic components, called modules, that can be snapped together LEGO-style into high-speed robots that can be rearranged for different capabilities. The team of researchers from the Robotic Materials Department at MPI-IS, led by Christoph Keplinger, integrated artificial muscles into hexagonal exoskeletons that are embedded with magnets, allowing for quick mechanical and electrical connections. The team's work, "Hexagonal electrohydraulic modules for rapidly reconfigurable high-speed robots" will be published in Science Robotics on September 18, 2024. Six lightweight rigid plates made from glass fiber serve as the exoskeleton of each HEXEL…

Lionsgate’s New Deal Is a Test of Hollywood’s Relationship With AI

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIartificial intelligence, hollywood, movies, tv

It’s hard not to feel the ripple effect when big shifts happen. One such shift came Wednesday when Lionsgate—the studio responsible for the John Wick, Hunger Games, and Twilight franchises—announced it had teamed up with artificial intelligence firm Runway for a “first-of-its-kind partnership” that would give the AI firm access to the studio’s archives in order to create a custom AI tool for preproduction and postproduction on its film and TV shows.Runway’s forthcoming tool will “help Lionsgate Studios, its filmmakers, directors, and other creative talent augment their work” and “generate cinematic video that can be further iterated using Runway’s suite…

Dice: 60% More Tech Professionals Have Lost Jobs in 2024

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Despite 2024 being a challenging year for many tech professionals, marked by layoffs and fewer job opportunities, a new report from Dice indicates that the situation could be worse. In a survey of 520 fully employed U.S. tech professionals, 80% maintain a positive outlook for the tech sector in the next five years. The more immediate picture acknowledged that “layoffs have been particularly severe this year,” with 60% more tech professionals losing jobs in 2024 than in 2023. Additionally, the report found “a notable decrease in the proportion of full-time employees within the tech sector.” In last year’s survey, nearly…

Imagine simply telling your vehicle, "I'm in a hurry," and it automatically takes you on the most efficient route to where you need to be. Purdue University engineers have found that an autonomous vehicle (AV) can do this with the help of ChatGPT or other chatbots made possible by artificial intelligence algorithms called large language models. The study, to be presented Sept. 25 at the 27th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, may be among the first experiments testing how well a real AV can use large language models to interpret commands from a passenger and drive accordingly.

Two-Thirds of Security Leaders Consider Banning AI-Generated Code

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

One of the most-touted benefits of the proliferation of artificial intelligence is how it can assist developers with menial tasks. However, new research shows that security leaders are not entirely on board, with 63% contemplating banning the use of AI in coding due to the risks it imposes. An even larger proportion, 92%, of the decision-makers surveyed are concerned about the use of AI-generated code in their organisation. Their main concerns all relate to the reduction in quality of the output. AI models may have been trained on outdated open-source libraries, and developers could quickly become over-reliant on using the…

RLHF and RLAIF in GPT-NeoX

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Today SynthLabs and EleutherAI are excited to announce large scale post training and preference learning in GPT-NeoX, one of the most widespread and adopted pretraining frameworks for large scale language models. This effort represents a partnership towards improving accessibility of preference learning research at scale. Currently large scale preference learning research is bottlenecked by a lack of easily scalable and robust frameworks. Pushing the boundary of what models are easily trainable and what training methodologies are easily accessible will enable a new wave of research developments and breakthroughs in the space of preference learning as well as a new set…
