Raspberry Pi Embraces AI With Hailo Collaboration

Single-board PC maker Raspberry Pi Ltd will list its commercial branch on the London Stock Exchange starting on an undisclosed date in June, a major change for the company, which operates partially as an educational nonprofit. Shortly after the confirmation of the IPO — though unrelated — Raspberry Pi unveiled its latest product, an AI board for vision capabilities, in collaboration with Hailo. The London Stock Exchange will receive a boost from the IPO, which has fallen to its lowest share of IPO funds in decades, according to research by Bloomberg. Although Raspberry Pi computers are often known as educational…

You can choose other interviewers to speak with instead, representing various genders and races with names like Benjamin, Leslie, and Kristin. Alex, the name given to this AI interviewer, asks about your professional experience, theoretical questions about programming, and then gives out a coding exercise.Alex is an AI interviewer developed by micro1, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment engine for engineers.

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

ChatGPT developer OpenAI’s approach to building artificial intelligence came under fire this week from former employees who accuse the company of taking unnecessary risks with technology that could become harmful.Today OpenAI released a new research paper apparently aimed at showing it is serious about tackling AI risk by making its models more explainable. In the paper, researchers from the company lay out a way to peer inside the AI model that powers ChatGPT. They devised a way to identify how it stores certain concepts—including those that might perhaps cause an AI system to misbehave.Although the research makes OpenAI’s work on…

Some Generative AI Company Employees Pen Letter Wanting ‘Right to Warn’ About Risks

Some Generative AI Company Employees Pen Letter Wanting ‘Right to Warn’ About Risks

Some current and former employees of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic published a letter on June 4 asking for whistleblower protections, more open dialogue about risks and “a culture of open criticism” in the major generative AI companies. The Right to Warn letter illuminates some of the inner workings of the few high-profile companies that sit in the generative AI spotlight. OpenAI holds a distinct status as a nonprofit trying to “navigate massive risks” of theoretical “general” AI. For businesses, the letter comes at a time of increasing pushes for adoption of generative AI tools; it also reminds technology decision-makers…

Google’s AI Overview Search Results Copied My Original Work

Google’s AI Overview Search Results Copied My Original Work

Last week, an AI Overview search result from Google used one of my WIRED articles in an unexpected way that makes me fearful for the future of journalism.I was experimenting with AI Overviews, the company’s new generative AI feature designed to answer online queries. I asked it multiple questions about topics I’ve recently covered, so I wasn’t shocked to see my article linked, as a footnote, way at the bottom of the box containing the answer to my query. But I was caught off guard by how much the first paragraph of an AI Overview pulled directly from my writing.The…

Using AI to decode dog vocalizations

Using AI to decode dog vocalizations

Have you ever wished you could understand what your dog is trying to say to you? University of Michigan researchers are exploring the possibilities of AI, developing tools that can identify whether a dog's bark conveys playfulness or aggression. The same models can also glean other information from animal vocalizations, such as the animal's age, breed and sex. A collaboration with Mexico's National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) Institute in Puebla, the study finds that AI models originally trained on human speech can be used as a starting point to train new systems that target animal communication. The…

Data visualization revolution: Unlocking insights with Nomic – SiliconANGLE

Data visualization revolution: Unlocking insights with Nomic – SiliconANGLE

As data continues to be the backbone of enterprises, data visualization has become critical for the easier identification of outliers, trends and patterns in huge data sets. Nomic Inc. makes this a reality through a product called Nomic Atlas that organizes unstructured data using a map that is powered by artificial intelligence. In the process, data exploration and filtering is enhanced, according to Brandon Duderstadt (pictured, right), founder and chief executive officer of Nomic. “We call that the map, and that’s part of our product, Nomic Atlas,” Duderstadt said. “In Nomic Atlas, every piece of your data set is a point on a scatter plot, and two points are close if the content of…
