In this episode of News of The Week, we dive into a surprising clash between Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI. What happened when Johansson declined a request from OpenAI’s CEO, only to find out her voice might still be part of their latest ChatGPT model? Tune in to discover the full story, the fallout, and what it means for AI and celebrity rights. Source link lol

ML/AI Platform Build vs Buy Decision: What Factors to Consider

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
ML/AI platforms provide the ecosystem for building, deploying, and managing the lifecycle of machine-learning models and AI services. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to implementing an ML/AI platform: Building an in-house platform can be fast for specific use cases and help maximize return on investment quickly. Buying a platform or platform components saves internal development effort, but it can be a long bureaucratic process and difficult to assess third-party components. Most organizations ultimately decide on a buy-and-build solution, where third-party components and tools are integrated into a custom platform. An ML/AI platform provides a coherent collection of tools and frameworks…

Network Rail did not answer questions about the trials sent by WIRED, including questions about the current status of AI usage, emotion detection, and privacy concerns.“We take the security of the rail network extremely seriously and use a range of advanced technologies across our stations to protect passengers, our colleagues, and the railway infrastructure from crime and other threats,” a Network Rail spokesperson says. “When we deploy technology, we work with the police and security services to ensure that we’re taking proportionate action, and we always comply with the relevant legislation regarding the use of surveillance technologies.”It is unclear how…

Light-Based Chips Could Help Slake AI’s Ever-Growing Thirst for Energy

“What we have here is something incredibly simple,” said Tianwei Wu, the study’s lead author. “We can reprogram it, changing the laser patterns on the fly.” The researchers used the system to design a neural network that successfully discriminated vowel sounds. Most photonic systems need to be trained before they’re built, since training necessarily involves reconfiguring connections. But since this system is easily reconfigured, the researchers trained the model after it was installed on the semiconductor. They now plan to increase the size of the chip and encode more information in different colors of light, which should increase the amount…

“These dogs will be an extra set of eyes and ears while computing large amounts of data at strategic locations throughout Tyndall Air Force Base,” Major Jordan Criss, 325th Security Forces Squadron commander, said of the systems during initial testing in late 2020. “They will be a huge enhancement for our defenders and allow flexibility in the posting and response of our personnel.”In the intervening years, robot dogs have become an increasingly common fixture across the US military, beyond patrolling sensitive installations. In July 2023, Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota introduced robot dogs to enable airmen to respond…

Apple Intelligence Won’t Work on Hundreds of Millions of iPhones—but Maybe It Could

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, , , , ,
Apple has announced its next era. Your experience of using an iPhone, Mac, or iPad will be guided by, and suffused with, artificial intelligence. Apple calls it, of course, Apple Intelligence. It’s coming later this year. That’s right: We have another “AI” to deal with.You may have heard plenty about how it makes Siri smarter, rewrites your emails and essays, creates never-before-seen emoji, and turns rough sketches into bland AI art.It truly is a vision of the future. And, while not groundbreaking, thanks to the usual Apple gloss it may well be one of the most friendly, intuitive, and useful…

Experiments in Weak-to-Strong Generalization

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The EleutherAI interpretability team has been investigating weak-to-strong generalization in open-source models. In this post, we report some results on Qwen1.5 0.5B and Llama 3 8B. We observe consistent weak-to-strong generalization across 21 NLP datasets. We also investigate several other modifications to weak-to-strong training, with generally negative results: strong-to-strong training, modified loss functions, and several probe-based experiments. Among these, only the log-confidence auxiliary loss shows possible signs of consistently improving generalization. Introduction: Weak-to-Strong Generalization# In some circumstances, a stronger student model can outperform a weaker supervisor. Burns et al., 2024 demonstrate weak-to-strong generalization across several tasks and a range of…

Researchers use large language models to help robots navigate

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Someday, you may want your home robot to carry a load of dirty clothes downstairs and deposit them in the washing machine in the far-left corner of the basement. The robot will need to combine your instructions with its visual observations to determine the steps it should take to complete this task. For an AI agent, this is easier said than done. Current approaches often utilize multiple hand-crafted machine-learning models to tackle different parts of the task, which require a great deal of human effort and expertise to build. These methods, which use visual representations to directly make navigation decisions,…
