The AI Revolution Will Not Be Monopolized

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , , ,
Key Takeaways Open-source initiatives are pivotal in democratizing AI technology, offering transparent, extensible tools that empower users. The open-source community quickly turns new research into practical AI tools, making them stronger and more useful. Distilling large language models during development enables the creation of accurate, fast, and private task-specific models, reducing reliance on general-purpose APIs. Effective regulation should distinguish between human-facing AI applications and underlying machine-facing components, ensuring innovation while addressing concerns about data privacy, security, and equitable access. This is a summary of a talk that Ines Montani gave at QCon London in April 2024. Large language models…

Exploring General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is an interesting and ambitious AI concept. General AI seeks to mimic human cognitive abilities across multiple domains, unlike narrow AI systems that specialize in specific tasks such as image recognition or natural language processing. In this blog article, we'll look at what General AI is, its possible applications, present progress, obstacles, and ethical concerns. What is GenAI (General Artificial Intelligence)? General AI refers to AI systems that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a way that is indistinguishable from human intellect. General AI, unlike specialized AI, can accomplish any intellectual work that humans can,…

Google’s greenhouse gas emissions climbed nearly 50 percent in five years due to AI

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , ,
Google’s greenhouse gas emissions spiked by nearly 50 percent in the last five years thanks to energy-guzzling data centers required to power artificial intelligence, according to the company’s 2024 Environmental Report on Tuesday. The report, which Google releases annually, shows the company’s progress towards meeting its self-proclaimed objective of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.Google released 14.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2023, the report states, which was 48 percent higher than in 2019, and 13 percent higher than a year before. “This result is primarily due to increases in data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions,” said…

Understanding Chain-of-Thought Prompting: A Revolution in Artificial Intelligence

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
What is Chain-of-Thought Prompting? Chain-of-Thought Prompting is a method that guides language models through a series of logical steps to arrive at an answer or solution. Unlike traditional approaches where models generate responses directly, CoT encourages models to “think out loud,” detailing their reasoning process before formulating a conclusion. How It Works Problem Decomposition: The model is encouraged to break down a complex problem into simpler sub-problems. Reasoning Sequences: By stimulating thought sequences, the model can approach questions in a more structured manner. Iterative Reflection: The model can revise and refine its answers based on new information or identified errors.…

Google uses AI to add 110 new languages to Translate

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , ,
While Google Translate is far from perfect, it's still a helpful way to gain information or engage in conversation. Now, that option is expanding as Google uses AI to give Translate 110 new languages, such as Cantonese, Punjabi (Shahmukhi) and NKo. About a quarter of the languages come from Africa and Google claims that all the new ones together represent 614 million speakers — about eight percent of the global population.Google credits its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other, including languages close to…

Time has a growing number of publications to sign a licensing deal with . The creator will legally be able to train its large language models on 101 years worth of the storied publication's journalism, as first reported.OpenAI will also have access to real-time content from Time, with the apparent aim of answering user queries about breaking news. In return, OpenAI will cite Time and link back to source material on the publication's website.Perhaps Time will get a monetary kickback too, like other publishers that have with a ragged cap in hand and an eye on one a new revenue…

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to nine major telecom companies, including AT&T and Comcast, to ask if they’re actually doing anything about AI political robocalls. AI-generated voices are getting pretty good at mimicking humans and we’ve already seen this technology in action, when an audio deepfake urged voters to .“We know that AI technologies will make it cheap and easy to flood our networks with deepfakes used to mislead and betray trust. It is especially chilling to see AI voice cloning used to impersonate candidates during elections. As AI tools become more accessible to bad actors and scammers, we need to…
