Since then, though, the expectations of the level of Apple’s capitulation have only grown more onerous. Algorithms that determine what the public sees online or through AI have to be registered with the Chinese authorities, and new AI legislation is largely focused on controlling the exact public-interfacing models that Western tech companies want to get involved with.“You need to file with regulators. You might need to submit a lot of details about things like coding … many tech companies may not be willing to do that,” says Tan.The problem is, China can afford to put in place such measures because…

Google added that part of the problem it faces in generating its AI Overviews is that, for some very specific queries, there’s an absence of high quality information on the web. And there’s little doubt that Lynn’s work is not of high quality.“The science underlying Lynn’s database of ‘national IQs’ is of such poor quality that it is difficult to believe the database is anything but fraudulent,” Sear said. “Lynn has never described his methodology for selecting samples into the database; many nations have IQs estimated from absurdly small and unrepresentative samples.”Sear points to Lynn’s estimation of the IQ of…

Artificial intelligence might now be solving advanced math, performing complex reasoning, and even using personal computers, but today’s algorithms could still learn a thing or two from microscopic worms.Liquid AI, a startup spun out of MIT, will today reveal several new AI models based on a novel type of “liquid” neural network that has the potential to be more efficient, less power-hungry, and more transparent than the ones that underpin everything from chatbots to image generators to facial recognition systems.Liquid AI’s new models include one for detecting fraud in financial transactions, another for controlling self-driving cars, and a third for…

Ever since I watched the Disney Channel original movie Smart House as a kid, I’ve been fascinated by futuristic visions of technology in our daily lives. While writing about artificial intelligence tools and providing advice for using them at WIRED over the past two years, it’s become so clear to me that the software is nothing like it’s depicted in these sci-fi movies or what the hype-focused marketing materials from AI companies would have you believe.Even with this in mind, I do still consider the current crop of generative AI tools to be sometimes useful, sometimes entertaining, and almost always…

An investigation of Huawei Technologies Co.’s latest AI offering has unearthed an advanced processor made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., suggesting that China is still struggling to reliably make advanced chips in sufficient quantities.Canada-based research firm TechInsights recently took apart at least one of the Shenzhen conglomerate’s highest-end artificial intelligence accelerators and discovered an Ascend 910B chip manufactured by TSMC, according to people familiar with a recent teardown of the devices. They requested anonymity to discuss a report that isn’t public. Source link lol

Demos of AI agents can seem stunning but getting the technology to perform reliably and without annoying, or costly, errors in real life can be a challenge. Current models can answer questions and converse with almost human-like skill and are the backbone of chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. They can also perform tasks on computers when given a simple command by accessing the computer screen as well as input devices like a keyboard and trackpad or through low-level software interfaces.Anthropic says that Claude outperforms other AI agents on several key benchmarks including SWE-bench, which measures an agent's…

Perplexity did not respond to requests for comment.In a statement emailed to WIRED, News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson compared Perplexity unfavorably to OpenAI. “We applaud principled companies like OpenAI, which understands that integrity and creativity are essential if we are to realize the potential of Artificial Intelligence,” the statement says. “Perplexity is not the only AI company abusing intellectual property and it is not the only AI company that we will pursue with vigor and rigor. We have made clear that we would rather woo than sue, but, for the sake of our journalists, our writers and our company,…

The reporting requirements are essential for alerting the government to potentially dangerous new capabilities in increasingly powerful AI models, says a US government official who works on AI issues. The official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, points to OpenAI’s admission about its latest model’s “inconsistent refusal of requests to synthesize nerve agents.”The official says the reporting requirement isn’t overly burdensome. They argue that, unlike AI regulations in the European Union and China, Biden’s EO reflects “a very broad, light-touch approach that continues to foster innovation.”Nick Reese, who served as the Department of Homeland Security’s first director of emerging technology…

Artificial intelligence makers have faced a mountain of criticism for borrowing from the work of others to train its models. Now the world’s largest publishing house is taking steps to ensure its authors don’t have their work plagiarized in the name of progress. reports that Penguin Random House Publishing changed the copyright page at the front of its books to address using any of its titles as a source for AI training. Now the wording states: “No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems.”The new…
