B&H Photo, a popular camera retailer, published an AI-generated photography guide on its Explora blog attributed to a fictional author named Alexandra Ibarra. The author’s biography and profile picture were AI-generated, sourced from Adobe Stock’s “Generated with AI” section. Following an investigation, B&H claimed that the publication was a “test” to identify and protect against […]
Source: OpenAI Widely used alignment techniques, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), rely on the ability of humans to supervise model behavior—for example, to evaluate whether a model faithfully followed instructions or generated safe outputs. However, future superhuman models will behave in complex ways too difficult for humans to reliably evaluate; humans will […]
The development of AI-powered robots that can effectively operate in real homes has presented significant challenges, particularly in acquiring the necessary training data and adapting to the unpredictability of domestic environments. To address these obstacles, a team devised a novel method using an iPhone attached to a reacher-grabber stick to record videos of volunteers completing […]

Instagram has launched a new generative AI-powered tool called backdrop, allowing users to create customized backgrounds for their Stories. This feature lets users generate various backgrounds, from being “surrounded by puppies” to “chased by dinosaurs.” However, the generated content will be labeled as AI·Backdrop by Instagram, creating a fun and creative way for users to […]
Source: Google Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated tremendous capabilities in solving complex tasks, from quantitative reasoning to understanding natural language. However, LLMs sometimes suffer from confabulations (or hallucinations) which can result in them making plausible but incorrect statements [1,2]. This hinders the use of current large models in scientific discovery. Here we introduce FunSearch (short for searching […]
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger introduced new datacenter chips and emphasized the importance of inference technology over Nvidia’s CUDA technology for AI. Gelsinger stated that CUDA’s dominance in training may not last, and Intel believes that the future of AI lies in inference. He also highlighted Intel’s focus on OpenVINO and its ability to compete in […]
Spotify has been testing a new feature that allows its users to create AI-generated playlists using prompts. The feature was spotted in a TikTok video and is accessed through the “Your Library” tab in the Spotify app, where users can enter a prompt or choose from suggested prompts to initiate the playlist creation process. The […]
Coca-Cola has launched a new Generative AI initiative for its Christmas Card campaign, allowing customers to create their own Coke-themed cards to send to family and friends. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation and engaging with new technology. The use of Generative AI has been shown to effectively drive engagement, with the potential […]
US regulators, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, are increasingly concerned about the potential risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) to financial stability. President Joe Biden signed an executive order in October to establish standards for security and privacy protections for AI, signaling a shift towards necessary regulation. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has identified […]
Salesforce is enhancing its AI capabilities with vector database support and AI search functionality, which will become part of the Einstein 1 Platform, aiming to make it easier for teams to leverage AI in their workflows. The integration of vector database support into Salesforce’s Data Cloud will streamline the use of unstructured business data […]
Intel unveiled its latest generation of data center chips, the 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, during its AI Everywhere event in New York. The new chips offer AI functionality of their own and provide greater performance to customers deploying AI capabilities across cloud, network, and edge use cases. The 5th Gen chips boast […]
