How Do Gen AI systems Learn? Researchers Have a Magic Tool to Understand AI – Harry Potter

[ad_1] More than two decades after J.K. Rowling introduced the world to a universe of magical creatures, forbidden forests and a teenage wizard, Harry Potter is finding renewed relevance in a very different body of literature: AI research. A growing number of researchers are using the best-selling Harry Potter books to experiment with generative artificial intelligence technology, citing the series' enduring influence in popular culture and the wide range of language data and complex wordplay within its pages. Reviewing a list of studies and academic papers referencing Harry Potter offers a snapshot into cutting-edge AI research — and some of the thorniest questions facing the technology. In perhaps the most notable recent example, Harry, Hermione and Ron star in a paper titled “Who'...

Artists use tech weapons against AI copycats

[ad_1] Artists under siege by artificial intelligence (AI) that studies their work, then replicates their styles, have teamed with university researchers to stymy such copycat activity.US illustrator Paloma McClain went into defense mode after learning that several AI models had been "trained" using her art, with no credit or compensation sent her way. "It bothered me," McClain told AFP. "I believe truly meaningful technological advancement is done ethically and elevates all people instead of functioning at the expense of others."The artist turned to free software called Glaze created by researchers at the University of Chicago.Glaze essentially outthinks AI models when it comes to how they train, tweaking pixels in ways indiscernible by human viewers but which make a digitized piece of...

OpenAI Director Adam D’Angelo, Who Helped Oust Sam Altman, Now Key Player in Startup’s Future

[ad_1] Two days after Sam Altman reached an agreement with OpenAI to return as its chief executive, he spent part of his Thanksgiving with Adam D'Angelo, one of the company's board members who had fired him the week prior. Their hours-long meeting, which Altman called “really nice,” highlights D'Angelo's unique role in a corporate drama that has captivated Silicon Valley — and the importance of their relationship in restoring some stability at the world's best-known artificial intelligence startup. As part of the deal to bring Altman back, the board is set to be completely overhauled, with one exception: D'Angelo will stay on as a director.D'Angelo's staying power at the company may have surprised some given his part in ousting Altman for not being “consistently candid in his communicat...

Google, Nvidia Back AI Startup That Helps Combat Chip Shortage

[ad_1] Nvidia Corp. and a Google venture fund have joined a seed round of funding for a startup that helps developers squeeze more computing power out of specialized processors used to train AI, potentially alleviating a major logjam for the burgeoning field.CentML, which builds software to help machine learning systems work more efficiently, raised $27 million from investors including Google's Gradient Ventures and Radical Ventures. Deloitte Ventures and Thomson Reuters Ventures also took part in the financing, the startup said in a statement. The Toronto-headquartered startup aims to address one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI development, a shortage of the graphic processor units from Nvidia and its rivals that process the enormous amounts of data required to train and run AI system...

AI chatbots are supposed to improve health care. But research says some are perpetuating racism

[ad_1] As hospitals and health care systems turn to artificial intelligence to help summarize doctors' notes and analyze health records, a new study led by Stanford School of Medicine researchers cautions that popular chatbots are perpetuating racist, debunked medical ideas, prompting concerns that the tools could worsen health disparities for Black patients.Powered by AI models trained on troves of text pulled from the internet, chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard responded to the researchers' questions with a range of misconceptions and falsehoods about Black patients, sometimes including fabricated, race-based equations, according to the study published Friday in the academic journal Digital Medicine and obtained exclusively by The Associated Press. Experts worry these system...

Google rolls out tool for publishers to opt out of AI data training, but not search

[ad_1] Google has unveiled a new feature, Google-Extended, offering website publishers the ability to exclude their data from contributing to the development of Google's AI models. While websites will still remain accessible through Google Search, this tool provides publishers with greater control over the use of their content for AI training purposes. In effect, Google will stop using the data of those publishers who opt out.Managing AI ContributionThis move by Google addresses concerns among web publishers who wish to protect their data from being utilised in AI model training. Google-Extended enables publishers to manage the involvement of their websites in enhancing AI generative APIs like Bard and Vertex AI. Publishers can now exercise precise control over content access on their s...
