OpenAI Secrets Stolen in 2023 After Internal Forum Was Hacked

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The online forum OpenAI employees use for confidential internal communications was breached last year, anonymous sources have told The New York Times. Hackers lifted details about the design of the company’s AI technologies from forum posts, but they did not infiltrate the systems where OpenAI actually houses and builds its AI. OpenAI executives announced the incident to the whole company during an all-hands meeting in April 2023, and also informed the board of directors. It was not, however, disclosed to the public because no information about customers or partners had been stolen. Executives did not inform law enforcement, according to…

The Importance of Effectively Experimenting in an AI PhD • David Stutz

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
When working in AI, especially when doing an empirical PhD, the engineering required for effective experimentation is incredibly important. I procrastinated on writing this article for a while now, but it is getting more and more apparent these days when a large portion of research shifted to working with large foundation models. But even ~7 years ago, when I started my PhD, I quickly realized that running experiments effectively will be crucial. This is because effective experimentation means that research hypotheses can be tested quickly and provide insights into the next hypotheses to test. For example, my TPAMI paper on…

Google’s Emissions Increased by 48% Since 2019, Thanks to AI Pursuits

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Google’s latest annual environmental report reveals the true impact its recent forays into artificial intelligence has had on its greenhouse gas emissions. The expansion of its data centres to support AI developments contributed to the company producing 14.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents in 2023. This represents a 48% increase over the equivalent figure for 2019 and a 13% increase since 2022. “This result was primarily due to increases in data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions,” the report’s authors wrote. “As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging due to increasing energy…

Google Gemini (Formerly Bard) vs Claude.ai: Which Is Better?

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
With the proliferation of generative AI, it can be difficult to tell which, if any, of these AI assistants for coding and creative work are right for your business. Two of the major AI assistants are Google Gemini (formerly Bard) and Anthropic’s Claude.ai. This article compares the core capabilities of the two AI assistants, both of which are free as of July 2024. To use Gemini, you must sign in with a Google account. To use Claude, you must sign in either with a Google account or an email address. In either case, if you use a Google Workspace account,…

Building LLM Applications With Vector Databases

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Vector databases play a key role in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. They enable efficient context retrieval or dynamic few-shot prompting to improve the factual accuracy of LLM-generated responses. When implementing a RAG system, start with a simple Naive RAG and iteratively improve the system: Refine the contextual information available to the LLM using multi-modal models to extract information from documents, optimize the chunk size, and pre-process chunks to filter out irrelevant information. Look into techniques like parent-document retrieval and hybrid search to improve retrieval accuracy. Use re-ranking or contextual compression techniques to ensure only the most relevant information is provided…

Yet Google and its hardware partners argue privacy and security are a major focus of the Android AI approach. VP Justin Choi, head of the security team, mobile eXperience business at Samsung Electronics, says its hybrid AI offers users “control over their data and uncompromising privacy.”Choi describes how features processed in the cloud are protected by servers governed by strict policies. “Our on-device AI features provide another element of security by performing tasks locally on the device with no reliance on cloud servers, neither storing data on the device nor uploading it to the cloud,” Choi says.Google says its data centers are designed…
