Nation-State Hackers Using OpenAI’s ChatGPT to Boost Cyber Operations, Microsoft Says

[ad_1] Nation-state hackers are using artificial intelligence to refine their cyberattacks, according to a report published by Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday. Russian, North Korean, Iranian and Chinese-backed adversaries were detected adding large-language models, like OpenAI's ChatGPT, to their toolkit, often in the preliminary stages of their hacking operations, researchers found. Some groups were using the technology to improve their phishing emails, gather information on vulnerabilities and troubleshoot their own technical issues, according to to the findings. It's the largest indication yet that state-sponsored cyber-espionage groups, which have haunted businesses and governments for years, are improving their tactics based on publicly available technologies, like large language mode...

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'...

New AI model may predict the future, reveal human lifespan, personality, researchers say

[ad_1] Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses sequences of life events — such as health history, education, job and income — to predict everything from an individual's personality to their lifespan.Built using transformer models, which power large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, the tool called life2vec is trained on a data set pulled from the entire population of Denmark. Life2vec is capable of predicting the future, including the lifespan of individuals, with an accuracy that exceeds state-of-the-art models, the researchers said. However, despite its predictive power, the research team said it is best used as the foundation for future work, not an end in itself. "Even though we're using prediction to evaluate how good these models are, the tool ...

Age of machines: Arm CEO Rene Haas Fears Humans Could Lose Control of Artificial Intelligence

[ad_1] “The thing I worry about most is humans losing capability” over the machines, said  Rene Haas, Chief Executive Officer of Arm Holdings Plc, when asked what keeps him up at night when he thinks about artificial intelligence. “You need some override, some backdoor, some way that the system can be shut down.”Haas, who was speaking to Bloomberg in a wide-ranging interview from the company's Cambridge, UK, base knows a thing or two about machines. By his estimate, 70% of the world's population touches Arm-designed products in some way. It's a reminder of the company's rare status as a UK-born global tech titan — even if it is now majority owned by Masayoshi Son's Softbank Group Corp. in Japan, and listed in New York. As Haas considers the potential downsides to artificial intelligence...

5 things about AI you may have missed today: Meta says no downside to AI sharing, new lawsuit against AI, more

[ad_1] It's the first day of the last month of 2023, and we might be in for an exciting period in artificial intelligence space as companies continue developing this technology while protest groups keep highlighting its dangers. In the first news, Meta executives said that they found no downside to openly sharing its AI technology. This comes as the tech company keeps releasing open-source versions of its large language models. In other news, a group of visual artists has filed an amended lawsuit against text-to-image generating AI models after a US district judge dismissed parts of the lawsuit last month. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.Meta says no downside to sharing AI technologyMeta executives stated at an event that they had not encountered any issue...

Western monopoly in AI ‘dangerous, and unacceptable’, says Russia’s Vladimir Putin

[ad_1]  Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a plan to endorse a national strategy for the development of artificial intelligence, emphasizing that it's essential to prevent a Western monopoly. Speaking at an AI conference in Moscow, Putin noted that “it's imperative to use Russian solutions in the field of creating reliable and transparent artificial intelligence systems that are also safe for humans.” “Monopolistic dominance of such foreign technology in Russia is unacceptable, dangerous and inadmissible,” Putin said. He noted that “many modern systems, trained on Western data are intended for the Western market” and “reflect that part of Western ethics, norms of behavior, public policy to which we object.”During his more than two decades in power, Putin has overseen a multi-pro...

4-day week? AI in workplace can increase productivity and reduce working hours: Study

[ad_1] Artificial intelligence has been a controversial topic in the workplace. The dependency on AI is growing and many fear that soon its capabilities will take away hundreds of millions of jobs. However, recent studies have shown that AI in the workplace has improved employee productivity and by 2033 it may also reduce working hours from 40 hours a week to just 32 hours, but only for one-third of the workforce. Additionally, it is also believed that the use of AI cloud result in better employee work-life balance. Check what the recent study says about AI capabilities and its benefits.Use of AI in workplaceAccording to the Autonomy study, the introduction of AI in the workplace has immensely benefited businesses in terms of employee productivity.

Spotify to use Google’s AI to tailor podcasts, audiobooks recommendations

[ad_1] Spotify, on Thursday, expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to use large language models (LLMs) to help identify a user's listening patterns across podcasts and audiobooks in order to suggest tailor-made recommendations.Artificial intelligence-powered LLMs such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Bard, are trained on a massive amount of data to generate text and other content. Google Cloud, owned by Alphabet, has several LLMs such as PaLM 2, Codey, Imagen and Chirp that are trained on text, codes, images, audio and video. Spotify has been an early adopter of AI, which it used for music recommendation algorithms a decade earlier. The Swedish company is now aiming to use LLMs to replicate that across its non-music content such as podcasts and audiobooks.The music streaming giant ha...

Elon Musk unveils xAI tool called Grok ; ChatGPT clone or more? Know the big difference

[ad_1] After ChatGPT stole the AI thunder initially, followed by tools from Google, Microsoft, and others, billionaire Elon Musk, who was initially involved with OpenAI, has rolled out his own artificial intelligence "system" that is available to a limited audience only. Musk's xAI is looking to cover up all the space in the tech world and do that rapidly as it is playing catch up with the rest of the tech world. And for that, he has now unveiled xAI's Grok system. However, even though he was involved in the development of ChatGPT, there is a lot of catching up to do, especially as content creators are cracking down on these AI bots scraping their data. Musk himself has objected to other bots scraping X data.We are now on WhatsApp. Click to join. The introduction of ChatGPT had left eve...
