Groq’s AI chips are faster than Nvidia’s? AI startup hits the spotlight with ‘lightning-fast’ engine

[ad_1] AI startup Groq (not Elon Musk's Grok) has unveiled its new artificial intelligence (AI) chip with a Language Processing Unit (LPU) architecture that claims to deliver instantaneous response times. This new innovation comes at a time when AI is witnessing a boom, and companies such as OpenAI, Meta and Google are hard at work developing their suite of AI tools such as Sora, Gemma and more. However, Groq outright claims that it delivers “the world's fastest large language models.”Groq claims its LPUs are faster than Nvidia's Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Considering that Nvidia has grabbed the spotlight so far in terms of AI chips, this aspect is startling. However, to back that up, Gizmodo reports that the demonstrations made by Groq were "Lightning-fast" and they even made "....

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 ...

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...

France’s Le Maire Says Nvidia’s AI Dominance Stifles Competition

[ad_1] Nvidia Corp.'s dominance in artificial intelligence is causing “growing inequalities” between countries and is stifling fair competition, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire warned.“Having just one single country with all the technologies, all the private companies, all of the devices, all the skills, would be a failure for all of us,” Le Maire told reporters at the UK's AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park, north of London. He said 92% of graphics processing units — AI accelerators — are owned by Nvidia. We are now on WhatsApp. Click to join. The European Union is examining alleged anticompetitive abuses in chips used for AI, a market that's dominated by Nvidia Corp, Bloomberg reported in September. The US company's dominant role in supplying chips for artificial intelligence...

British officials say AI chatbots could carry cyber risks

[ad_1] British officials are warning organisations about integrating artificial intelligence-driven chatbots into their businesses, saying that research has increasingly shown that they can be tricked into performing harmful tasks.In a pair of blog posts published Wednesday, Britain's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said that experts had not yet got to grips with the potential security problems tied to algorithms that can generate human-sounding interactions - dubbed large language models, or LLMs. The AI-powered tools are seeing early use as chatbots that some envision displacing not just internet searches but also customer service work and sales calls. The NCSC said that could carry risks, particularly if such models were plugged into other elements organisation's business proce...

ChatGPT and other language AIs are nothing without humans – a sociologist explains

[ad_1] The media frenzy surrounding ChatGPT and other large language model artificial intelligence systems spans a range of themes, from the prosaic – large language models could replace conventional web search – to the concerning – AI will eliminate many jobs – and the overwrought – AI poses an extinction-level threat to humanity.All of these themes have a common denominator: large language models herald artificial intelligence that will supersede humanity. But large language models, for all their complexity, are actually really dumb. And despite the name “artificial intelligence,” they're completely dependent on human knowledge and labor. They can't reliably generate new knowledge, of course, but there's more to it than that. ChatGPT can't learn, improve or even stay up to date withou...

Humans could be replaced by AI: Study

[ad_1] Researchers found 'AI (particularly large language models, or LLMs) may alter the nature of their work.The study was published in Journal, 'Science.' Grossmann and colleagues observed that large language models trained on massive amounts of text data are becoming more capable of simulating human-like responses and behaviour. This opens up new avenues for testing theories and hypotheses about human behaviour at unprecedented scale and speed. "What we wanted to explore in this article is how social science research practices can be adapted, even reinvented, to harness the power of AI," said Igor Grossmann, professor of psychology at Waterloo.Traditionally, social sciences rely on a range of methods, including questionnaires, behavioural tests, observational studies, and experiments...
