If AI is going to take over the world, why can’t it solve the Spelling Bee?

If AI is going to take over the world, why can’t it solve the Spelling Bee?

My task for our AI overlords was simple: help me crack the New York Times Spelling Bee.I had spent a large chunk of a Saturday evening trying to shape the letters G, Y, A, L, P, O and N into as many words as possible. But three hours, 141 points and 37 words — including “nonapology”, “lagoon” and “analogy” — later, I had hit a wall. A few more words was all I needed to propel myself into Spelling Bee’s "genius" echelon, the title reserved for those who unscramble 70 percent of all possible words using the given letters, and…

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

OpenAI Offers a Peek Inside the Guts of ChatGPT

ChatGPT developer OpenAI’s approach to building artificial intelligence came under fire this week from former employees who accuse the company of taking unnecessary risks with technology that could become harmful.Today OpenAI released a new research paper apparently aimed at showing it is serious about tackling AI risk by making its models more explainable. In the paper, researchers from the company lay out a way to peer inside the AI model that powers ChatGPT. They devised a way to identify how it stores certain concepts—including those that might perhaps cause an AI system to misbehave.Although the research makes OpenAI’s work on…

AI For The People: Improving Governance And Adoption Are Key For Public Sector AI Efforts

AI For The People: Improving Governance And Adoption Are Key For Public Sector AI Efforts

AI will revolutionize the internal workings of the public sector and how it engages with its constituents in the next five to 10 years, just as open data and third-party apps did in the 2010s. In my new report, The State Of AI In The Public Sector, 2023, I reveal data showing that public sector leaders aim to adopt AI to improve data discovery and quality (36%), streamline business operations (35%), and increase automation both internally and externally (33% and 32%). The US and UK governments are already taking “landmark” actions on the safety of AI tools and testing, but…

Creating In-Video Search

Creating In-Video Search

In-video search is ability to search for a specific content within a video. This can include searching for particular words spoken, objects shown or description of a scene. With the current advancement in transformers the process of in-video search have become more accurate and fairly simple. Although most of the transformers doesn’t have a joint embedding space for multiple modalities but there are few models like Meta’s ImageBind that a joint embedding space between text, image, audio, depth, thermal and IMU, or OpenAI’s CLiP model have joint embedding space between text and image. We can use these models to create…
