Anthropic’s Computer Use mode shows strengths and limitations in new study

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Since Anthropic released the “Computer Use” feature for Claude in October, there has been a lot of excitement about what AI agents can do when given the power to imitate human interactions. A new study by Show Lab at the National University of Singapore provides an overview of what we can expect from the current generation of graphical user interface (GUI) agents. Claude is the first frontier model that can interact as a GUI agent with a device through the same…

Does Unlearning Truly Unlearn? A Black Box Evaluation of LLM Unlearning Methods

Does Unlearning Truly Unlearn? A Black Box Evaluation of LLM Unlearning Methods

[Submitted on 18 Nov 2024 (v1), last revised 20 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Does Unlearning Truly Unlearn? A Black Box Evaluation of LLM Unlearning Methods, by Jai Doshi and Asa Cooper Stickland View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Large language model unlearning aims to remove harmful information that LLMs have learnt to prevent their use for malicious purposes. LLMU and RMU have been proposed as two methods for LLM unlearning, achieving impressive results on unlearning benchmarks. We study in detail the efficacy of these methods by evaluating their impact on general model capabilities on…

Google must sell Chrome to end search monopoly, justice department argues in court filing

Alphabet’s Google must sell its Chrome browser, share data and search results with competitors and take a range of other measures to end its monopoly on searching the internet, US prosecutors have argued to a judge.Such changes would essentially result in Google being highly regulated for 10 years, subjecting it to oversight by the same Washington federal court that ruled the company maintained an illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising.Google controls about 90% of the online search market.“Google’s unlawful behaviour has deprived rivals not only of critical distribution channels but also distribution partners who could otherwise enable entry…

Embedding secure generative AI in mission-critical public safety applications | Amazon Web Services

Embedding secure generative AI in mission-critical public safety applications | Amazon Web Services

This post is co-written with Lawrence Zorio III from Mark43. Public safety organizations face the challenge of accessing and analyzing vast amounts of data quickly while maintaining strict security protocols. First responders need immediate access to relevant data across multiple systems, while command staff require rapid insights for operational decisions. Mission-critical public safety applications require the highest levels of security and reliability when implementing technology capabilities. Mark43, a public safety technology company, recognized this challenge and embedded generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into their application using Amazon Q Business to transform how law enforcement agencies interact with their mission-critical applications. By embedding…

Select High-Level Features: Efficient Experts from a Hierarchical Classification Network

Select High-Level Features: Efficient Experts from a Hierarchical Classification Network

[Submitted on 8 Mar 2024 (v1), last revised 20 Nov 2024 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Select High-Level Features: Efficient Experts from a Hierarchical Classification Network, by Andr'e Kelm and 7 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:This study introduces a novel expert generation method that dynamically reduces task and computational complexity without compromising predictive performance. It is based on a new hierarchical classification network topology that combines sequential processing of generic low-level features with parallelism and nesting of high-level features. This structure allows for the innovative extraction technique: the ability to select only high-level…

The best laptop power banks for 2024

The best laptop power banks for 2024

Smaller battery packs are great for refiling phones and tablets, but if you need to keep a laptop juiced up while you’re far from an outlet, you’ll need something larger. For this guide, we tested portable chargers with at least a 20,000mAh (74Wh) capacity, but kept the upper limit below 27,000mAh (99Wh), since that’s about the maximum size allowed by the TSA in carry-on luggage. Some laptop power banks sport extra features like wireless charging or an AC plug so you can power small devices such as a travel printer or an LED lamp. But what all of them have…
