OpenAI Calls Elon Musk’s Claims ‘Incoherent’ in Court Filing

[ad_1] OpenAI lambasted Elon Musk's allegations against it, saying in a court filing that the billionaire entrepreneur's claims “rest on convoluted — often incoherent — factual premises.” The strongly worded filing is the company's first legal response to Musk's February lawsuit against the company, Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman. Musk alleged the startup had strayed from its mission to build responsible artificial intelligence and that it had become beholden to Microsoft Corp., its largest investor. In the filing, OpenAI stresses that it did not violate its agreement with Musk because “there is no founding agreement, or any agreement at all with Musk, as the complaint itself makes clear.” OpenAI also denied Musk's claims in a memo to staff and a blog po...

Nvidia CEO says AI could pass human tests in five years

[ad_1] Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang on Friday said that artificial general intelligence could - by some definitions - arrive in as little as five years.Huang, who heads the world's leading maker of artificial intelligence chips used to create systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT, was responding to a question at an economic forum held at Stanford University about how long it would take to achieve one of Silicon Valley's long-held goals of creating computers that can think like humans. Huang said that the answer largely depends on how the goal is defined. If the definition is the ability to pass human tests, Huang said, artificial general intelligence (AGI) will arrive soon. "If I gave an AI ... every single test that you can possibly imagine, you make that list of tests and put it in fro...

Elon Musk sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, claiming betrayal of its goal to benefit humanity

[ad_1] Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman over what he says is a betrayal of the ChatGPT maker's founding aims of benefiting humanity rather than pursuing profits.In a lawsuit filed at San Francisco Superior Court, billionaire Musk said that when he bankrolled OpenAI's creation, he secured an agreement with Altman and Greg Brockman, the president, to keep the AI company as a non-profit that would develop technology for the benefit of the public. Under its founding agreement, OpenAI would also make its code open to the public instead of walling it off for any private company's gains, the lawsuit says. However, by embracing a close relationship with Microsoft, OpenAI and its top executives have set that pact “aflame” and are “perverting” the company's mission, Musk alleges i...

Mark Zuckerberg reveals Meta Platforms’ stunning target – creating AGI capabilities

[ad_1] Over the last year, artificial intelligence (AI) space has been humming with activity and new innovations. Revelations have been coming at a fast and furious pace and the latest one is by Meta Platforms chief Mark Zuckerberg. While every tech giant is bringing new AI tools and experimenting with large Language Models (LMMs), Meta has been developing its own AI capabilities without really looking to steal the spotlight away from the likes of OpenAI, Google or for that matter Microsoft. Now, in the latest announcement, Zuckerberg revealed Meta's AI efforts being directed towards bringing advanced and easily accessible technologies for users to benefit from. Highlighting Meta's upcoming plans to expand its AI efforts, he said the company will be exploring the capabilities of artific...

AI masters social learning in real-time without pre-collected human data: DeepMind study

[ad_1] Human intelligence has long relied on cultural evolution and social learning, where knowledge is passed down through imitation of actions and behaviors down through the ages. The question arises: Can artificial intelligence (AI) replicate these social learning skills in real time? Traditionally, AI has employed imitation learning, observing humans and attempting to mimic their actions. However, this method often requires numerous examples and extensive exposure to data. In a groundbreaking study, DeepMind researchers claim that AI agents can exhibit social learning skills in real time without relying on pre-collected human data. The study focused on observational learning, specifically the imitation of body movements in novel contexts. DeepMind conducted experiments in GoalCycle3...

OpenAI Is Starting a New Team to Reduce Risk From Future AI

[ad_1] OpenAI is starting a new team aimed at minimizing risks from artificial intelligence as the fast-developing technology gets more capable over time.In a blog post Thursday the company best known for the popular chatbot ChatGPT announced it has formed a “preparedness” team headed up by Aleksander Madry, who has been working at OpenAI while on leave from a faculty position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The group will analyze and try to ward off potential “catastrophic risks” of AI systems, ranging from cybersecurity issues to chemical, nuclear and biological threats. The team will also come up with a policy aimed at helping the company determine how it can can reduce risks that may come with the development of so-called “frontier models” — the next generation of AI t...

Has GPT-4 really passed the startling threshold of human-level artificial intelligence? Well, it depends

[ad_1] Recent public interest in tools like ChatGPT has raised an old question in the artificial intelligence community: is artificial general intelligence (in this case, AI that performs at human level) achievable?An online preprint this week has added to the hype, suggesting the latest advanced large language model, GPT-4, is at the early stages of artificial general intelligence (AGI) as it's exhibiting “sparks of intelligence”. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has unabashedly declared its pursuit of AGI. Meanwhile, a large number of researchers and public intellectuals have called for an immediate halt to the development of these models, citing “profound risks to society and humanity”. These calls to pause AI research are theatrical and unlikely to succeed – the allure of advance...
