AI-assisted writing is quietly booming in academic journals. Here’s why that’s OK

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
If you search Google Scholar for the phrase “as an AI language model”, you’ll find plenty of AI research literature and also some rather suspicious results. For example, one paper on agricultural technology says: As an AI language model, I don’t have direct access to current research articles or studies. However, I can provide you with an overview of some recent trends and advancements … Obvious gaffes like this aren’t the only signs that researchers are increasingly turning to generative AI tools when writing up their research. A recent study examined the frequency of certain words in academic writing (such…

Life on Mars, together

Earlier this year, Madelyn Hoying, a PhD student in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, and Wing Lam (Nicole) Chan, an MIT senior in aeronautics and astronautics, were part of Crew 290 at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), the largest and longest-running Mars analog facility in the world. Their six-person crew completed a two-week simulation under the name Project MADMEN (Martian Analysis and Detection of Microbial Environments) — an analog of potential Martian search-for-life missions. The mission evolved from Hoying’s NASA Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (NASA RASC-AL) challenge submission, Project ALIEN, during her time as an undergraduate student…

What the executive order means for openness in AI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
By Arvind Narayanan, Sayash Kapoor, and Rishi Bommasani.The Biden-Harris administration has issued an executive order on artificial intelligence. It is about 20,000 words long and tries to address the entire range of AI benefits and risks. It is likely to shape every aspect of the future of AI, including openness: Will it remain possible to publicly release model weights while complying with the EO’s requirements? How will the EO affect the concentration of power and resources in AI? What about the culture of open research?We cataloged the space of AI-related policies that might impact openness and grouped them into six…

AI Reasoning Like Humans. The storm has been battering the airport viciously. Three hours later we departed enduring some massive turbulences. Then this: “Captain speaking. This is to inform you that we’ll be performing an auto-pilot landing [watch this] upon arriving to Heathrow.” We should trust the AI-copilot reasoning in harsh situations. Shouldn’t we?… Five days ago, Anthropic introduced next-gen Claude 3 model family. I’ve tried Claude 3: It’s very good at certain language tasks, it pars or beats GPT-4 Turbo in several areas, has a huge context window, and it’s quite cheaper.

Ahead of AI #12: LLM Businesses and Busyness

stp2y0 CommentsAI
In Ahead of AI, I try to strike a balance between discussing recent research, explaining AI-related concepts, and delving into general AI-relevant news and developments. Given that the previous issues leaned heavily towards research, I aim to address the latest trends in this issue. Specifically, I'll explore the current endeavors of major tech companies. It appears that every one of these entities is either training or developing LLMs, with a noticeable shift of their core operations towards AI -- thus the title "LLM Businesses and Busyness."It's worth noting that the initial segment of this article will focus on discussions related to…

When consumers would prefer a chatbot over a person

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Actually, sometimes consumers don't want to talk to a real person when they're shopping online, a new study suggests. In fact, what they really want is a chatbot that makes it clear that it is not human at all. In a new study, researchers at The Ohio State University found that people preferred interacting with chatbots when they felt embarrassed about what they were buying online -- items like antidiarrheal medicine or, for some people, skin care products. "In general, research shows people would rather interact with a human customer service agent than a chatbot," said Jianna Jin, who led…

“We’ve seen a cascading effect from the pronouncement on a host of other litigations globally,” says Grewal. “For people outside of crypto, [all this] might sound cartoonish. But with Wright’s claims falling by the wayside, the community can exhale. We think it’s a real win.”The ruling has also had implications for Bitcoin Satoshi Vision, or BSV, a separate cryptocurrency network created by Wright in 2018. The idea for BSV is to cleave “as closely as possible to Satoshi’s original design,” as the website describes it. In the days after the judge ruled that Wright is not Satoshi, the price of…
