Will AI transform law?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
A year ago, the startup DoNotPay claimed to have built a “robot lawyer” capable of arguing cases before the Supreme Court. There is no evidence that such a technology exists, and attempts to use AI write arguments have ended badly. But DoNotPay’s marketing gimmick was successful in getting wide attention, which goes to show that in the era of large language models, the idea of AI replacing lawyers seems quite plausible to many people.As we’ve written before, we think such expectations are extremely premature, and we shouldn’t read much into ChatGPT’s performance in simulated scenarios such as the bar exam.…

DataRobot introduces observability with real-time intervention capability for generative AI – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT, ,
Artificial intelligence startup DataRobot Inc. today announced updates to its generative AI offering that will give businesses and developers observability features with real-time intervention capabilities to increase confidence when running models in production environments. The new capabilities allow enterprise teams to manage generative AI models running in all environments, including cloud, on-premises and the cloud, to execute them in production confidently while managing risk. The company said the new cross-environment AI observability will provide teams unified governance for all predictive and generative AI assets. “The No. 1 thing that I hear when I talk to customers is what we call the confidence problem,” Chief Technology Officer Michael Schmidt told…

Anthropic’s Generative AI Research Reveals More About How LLMs Affect Security and Bias

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Because large language models operate using neuron-like structures that may link many different concepts and modalities together, it can be difficult for AI developers to adjust their models to change the models’ behavior. If you don’t know what neurons connect what concepts, you won’t know which neurons to change. On May 21, Anthropic created a remarkably detailed map of the inner workings of the fine-tuned version of its Claude 3 Sonnet 3.0 model. With this map, the researchers can explore how neuron-like data points, called features, affect a generative AI’s output. Otherwise, people are only able to see the output…

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here. Today, Cohere for AI (C4AI), the non-profit research arm of Canadian enterprise AI startup Cohere, announced the open weights release of Aya 23, a new family of state-of-the-art multilingual language models. Available in 8B and 35B parameter variants (parameters refer to the strength of connections between artificial neurons in an AI model, with more generally denoting a more powerful and capable model).…

Robots’ and prosthetic hands’ sense of touch could be as fast as humans

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Research at Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet could pave the way for a prosthetic hand and robot to be able to feel touch like a human hand. Their study has been published in the journal Science. The technology could also be used to help restore lost functionality to patients after a stroke. "Our system can determine what type of object it encounters as fast as a blindfolded person, just by feeling it and deciding whether it is a tennis ball or an apple, for example," says Zhibin Zhang, docent at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Uppsala University. He and…
