ChatGPT’s AI Search Tool Is Now Available

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, , ,
OpenAI just launched its AI search update for ChatGPT. Three months after the company’s initial announcement of a SearchGPT prototype, OpenAI’s vision for the future of AI search is now available to the public.“We're focused on making ChatGPT the best place to answer any question, including live information from the web,” says Adam Fry, the product lead for search on ChatGPT. Referred to by Fry as “ChatGPT search” rather than “SearchGPT,” the feature enters an increasingly crowded and contentious field of AI search options for users—with competition from smaller startups, like Perplexity, as well as tech giants, like Google with…

Third-party evaluation to identify risks in LLMs’ training data

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
TLDR - EleutherAI and OpenMined conducted a demonstration project to show how third-party evaluators can query a non-public AI training dataset. This approach provides third-party evaluators with a new method for conducting AI safety evaluations without accessing the model or sensitive data. The Problem# With the rapid advancement of frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models, establishing effective third-party oversight and evaluation is crucial to ensure their responsible development and maintain public trust. However, many third-party oversight methods primarily rely on black-box access, in which evaluators can only query the system and observe its outputs. This degree of access severely restricts the…

Power Shortages Stall Data Center Growth in UK, Europe

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The construction of new data centres in the U.K. and Europe is being held up due to insufficient electricity supply. Utility companies in the U.S. have also been struggling to keep up with demand. David Sleath, chief executive of development giant Segro, said that he would ideally be investing “hundreds of millions and more” into building new data centres, according to The Times. “The single biggest constraint is access to power,” he told the publication. Segro, which operates 35 U.K. data centres, has had to wait “a number of years” for infrastructure upgrades that boost grip capacity before breaking ground…

Non-electric touchpad takes sensor technology to extreme conditions

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world's first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. The device utilises pneumatic channels, enabling its use in environments such as MRI machines and other conditions that are unsuitable for electronic devices. Soft devices like soft robots and rehabilitation aids could also benefit from this new technology. Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world's first soft touchpad that is able to sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. That has traditionally required electronic sensors, but the newly developed touchpad does not need…

Scientists develop grain-sized soft robots controlled by magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future. The new soft robot developed by engineers at NTU’s School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) was reported in a paper published in the scientific journal Advanced Materials. The study is believed to be the first reported instance of miniature robots that can transport up to four different drugs and release them in reprogrammable orders and doses. Compared to earlier small-scale robots which can…
