A progress update on our commitment to safe, responsible generative AI | Amazon Web Services

Responsible AI is a longstanding commitment at Amazon. From the outset, we have prioritized responsible AI innovation by embedding safety, fairness, robustness, security, and privacy into our development processes and educating our employees. We strive to make our customers’ lives better while also establishing and implementing the necessary safeguards to help protect them. Our practical approach to transform responsible AI from theory into practice, coupled with tools and expertise, enables AWS customers to implement responsible AI practices effectively within their organizations. To date, we have developed over 70 internal and external offerings, tools, and mechanisms that support responsible AI, published…

Gen Zs are better at ‘loud budgeting,’ but nearly half still need financial support from family: study

Gen Zs are better at ‘loud budgeting,’ but nearly half still need financial support from family: study

Gen Zs are struggling financially, and nearly half of them rely on their parents for support, a new study found.Bank of America released a report Wednesday outlining Gen Z's financial health, and things aren't looking too great for these 18- to 27-year-olds.The report — which is based on an Ipsos survey of more than a thousand young people conducted in April and May — found that 46% of Gen Zs in that age bracket rely on their parents or family members for financial assistance. It's not just in college, either; the report found that 30% of non-students get help from…

GeoWATCH for Detecting Heavy Construction in Heterogeneous Time Series of Satellite Images

GeoWATCH for Detecting Heavy Construction in Heterogeneous Time Series of Satellite Images

arXiv:2407.06337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning from multiple sensors is challenging due to spatio-temporal misalignment and differences in resolution and captured spectra. To that end, we introduce GeoWATCH, a flexible framework for training models on long sequences of satellite images sourced from multiple sensor platforms, which is designed to handle image classification, activity recognition, object detection, or object tracking tasks. Our system includes a novel partial weight loading mechanism based on sub-graph isomorphism which allows for continually training and modifying a network over many training cycles. This has allowed us to train a lineage of models over a long period…

Environmental groups accuse Amazon of ‘distorting the truth’ in latest clean-energy claim

Environmental groups accuse Amazon of ‘distorting the truth’ in latest clean-energy claim

On Wednesday, Amazon claimed that it reached its goal of sourcing all its power from clean energy sources in the past year. If taken at face value, the announcement would mean it hit the milestone seven years ahead of schedule, which would be a monumental achievement. But environmental experts speaking to The New York Times, including a group of concerned Amazon employees, warn that the company is “misleading the public by distorting the truth.”The company’s claim of achieving 100 percent clean electricity is based in part on billion-dollar investments in over 500 solar and wind initiatives. The company’s logic is…

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024: Samsung’s Next Foldable Phones Have Built-In Google AI

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024: Samsung’s Next Foldable Phones Have Built-In Google AI

After first announcing onboard AI in January, Samsung expanded what it’s calling the Galaxy AI ecosystem on July 10 at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris. The company announced its next two foldable phones, plus new earbuds and wearables. All of the products shown off at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked are available for preorder now and will come out on July 24 internationally. Samsung offers seven generations of OS updates and seven years of security updates, similar to Apple’s security and OS lifetimes. Samsung introduces new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip phones The Galaxy Z Fold6 (left) and Galaxy Z Flip6…

MUSE: Machine Unlearning Six-Way Evaluation for Language Models

arXiv:2407.06460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models (LMs) are trained on vast amounts of text data, which may include private and copyrighted content. Data owners may request the removal of their data from a trained model due to privacy or copyright concerns. However, exactly unlearning only these datapoints (i.e., retraining with the data removed) is intractable in modern-day models. This has led to the development of many approximate unlearning algorithms. The evaluation of the efficacy of these algorithms has traditionally been narrow in scope, failing to precisely quantify the success and practicality of the algorithm from the perspectives of both…

Hayden AI Raises $90M To Make Sure You Don’t Park There

Hayden AI Raises $90M To Make Sure You Don’t Park There

Next time you think about double parking, remember a San Francisco-based startup just raised a big Series C to help make sure you don’t. Hayden AI, a vision AI platform, locked in a $90 million growth equity round led by The Rise Fund — TPG’s impact investing platform — with participation from existing investors Drawdown Fund, Autotech Ventures and others. While the company’s platform uses cameras mounted on buses that can spot illegal parking or moving violations, it also can do more. The platform uses geospatial data collection sensor systems to give cities insights to improve traffic safety and accessibility.…
