To start off, not all RAGs are of the same caliber. The accuracy of the content in the custom database is critical for solid outputs, but that isn’t the only variable. “It's not just the quality of the content itself,” says Joel Hron, a global head of AI at Thomson Reuters. “It's the quality of the search, and retrieval of the right content based on the question.” Mastering each step in the process is critical, since one misstep can throw the model completely off.“Any lawyer who's ever tried to use a natural language search within one of the research engines…

Danish media outlets have demanded that the nonprofit web archive Common Crawl remove copies of their articles from past datasets and stop crawling their websites immediately. This request was issued amid growing outrage over how artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI are using copyrighted materials.Common Crawl plans to comply with the request, first issued on Monday. Executive director Rich Skrenta says the organization is “not equipped” to fight media companies and publishers in court.The Danish Rights Alliance (DRA), an association representing copyright holders in Denmark, spearheaded the campaign. It made the request on behalf of four media outlets, including Berlingske Media…

Over 170 images and personal details of children from Brazil have been scraped by an open-source dataset without their knowledge or consent, and used to train AI, claims a new report from Human Rights Watch released Monday.The images have been scraped from content posted as recently as 2023 and as far back as the mid-1990s, according to the report, long before any internet user might anticipate that their content might be used to train AI. Human Rights Watch claims that personal details of these children, alongside links to their photographs, were included in LAION-5B, a dataset that has been a…

The cartoon interviewer greets you on screen. He looks a little young to be asking questions about a job—sort of a cartoon version of Harry Potter, with dark hair and glasses. You can choose other interviewers to speak with instead, representing various genders and races with names like Benjamin, Leslie, and Kristin. Alex, the name given to this AI interviewer, asks about your professional experience, theoretical questions about programming, and then gives out a coding exercise.Alex is an AI interviewer developed by micro1, a US company that describes itself as an AI recruitment engine for engineers.

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…

Turning to a friend or coworker can make tricky problems easier to tackle. Now it looks like having AI chatbots team up with each other can make them more effective.I’ve been playing this week with AutoGen, an open source software framework for AI agent collaboration developed by researchers at Microsoft and academics at Pennsylvania State University, the University of Washington, and Xidian University in China. The software taps OpenAI’s large language model GPT-4 to let you create multiple AI agents with different personas, roles, and objectives that can be prompted to solve specific problems.To put the idea of AI collaboration…

Learning to Live With Google’s AI Overviews

stp2y0 CommentsAIalgorithms, artificial intelligence, gadget lab podcast, google, podcasts, search

Google has spent the past year lustily rolling out AI features across its platforms. But with each launch, it is becoming more clear that some of these so-called enhancements should have simmered a little longer. The latest update to stoke equal parts excitement and ridicule is AI Overviews, the new auto-generated summary boxes that appear at the top of some Google search results.In theory, AI Overviews are meant to answer questions and neatly summarize key information about people's search queries, offering links to the sources the summaries were pulled from and making search more immediately useful. In reality, these AI…

In his polarizing “Techno-Optimist Manifesto” last year, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen listed a number of enemies to technological progress. Among them were “tech ethics” and “trust and safety,” a term used for work on online content moderation, which he said had been used to subject humanity to “a mass demoralization campaign” against new technologies such as artificial intelligence.Andreessen’s declaration drew both public and quiet criticism from people working in those fields—including at Meta, where Andreessen is a board member. Critics saw his screed as misrepresenting their work to keep internet services safer.On Wednesday, Andreessen offered some clarification: When it comes…

Google Cut Back AI Overviews in Search Even Before Its ‘Pizza Glue’ Fiasco

As anyone who so much as glanced at the internet in the past few weeks probably noticed, Google’s sweeping AI upgrade to its search engine had a rocky start. Within days of the company launching AI-generated answers to search queries called AI Overviews, the feature was widely mocked for producing wrong and sometimes bonkers answers, like recommendations to eat rocks or make pizza with glue.New data from search engine optimization firm BrightEdge suggests that Google has significantly reduced how often it is showing people AI Overviews since the feature launched, and had in fact already substantially curbed the feature prior…
