NYC Mayor Eric Adams introduced a plan to boost subway safety by implementing AI-powered metal detectors to identify guns on individuals without flagging non-threatening items like phones. Despite a slightly delayed response, the detectors performed well during a recent demonstration. Produced by Evolv, the detectors utilize AI technology to differentiate between various metal objects quickly. […]
The Biden administration has declared its commitment to promoting responsible artificial intelligence (AI) use within the US government. By December 1, 2024, all federal agencies are mandated to implement AI “safeguards” to ensure citizens’ safety. These safeguards will involve assessing, testing, and monitoring AI applications to prevent discrimination and enhance transparency in government AI utilization. […]
Google’s DeepMind research unit has introduced a new method, the Search-Augmented Factuality Evaluator (SAFE), that uses artificial intelligence to assess the accuracy of information generated by large language models. SAFE breaks down text into individual facts and cross-references them with Google Search results to determine their correctness. A study revealed that SAFE’s assessments matched human […]
Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer of responsible AI, Sarah Bird, has unveiled new safety features designed to enhance Azure AI security without the need for specialized red teams. These tools, leveraging the power of LLM technology, aim to identify vulnerabilities, prevent plausible but unsupported outcomes, and block malicious prompts in real-time. The introduced tools include […]
Boston University’s Dean of Arts & Sciences, Stan Sclaroff, raised eyebrows with a proposal to substitute striking graduate students with generative AI tools, as reported by The Daily Beast. The suggestion was part of a set of ideas aimed at addressing disruptions caused by ongoing protests led by the Boston University Graduate Worker Union (BUGWU). […]
The reliance of enterprises on AI/machine learning tools has skyrocketed nearly 600%, with transactions increasing from 521 million in April 2023 to 3.1 billion monthly by January 2024. Concerns over security have led to a substantial rise in AI/ML transactions being blocked, up by 577% in nine months. Cyber attackers have evolved their tactics, employing […]
A new report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reveals that 11% of job tasks in the UK are at risk of AI replacement, potentially leading to the loss of 1.5 million jobs without any GDP gains. The impact of AI is most prominent in routine cognitive tasks like database management and organizational […]
In a rapidly evolving landscape where AI technologies are transforming language learning and translation, individuals may no longer feel the pressing need to invest time in mastering a second language. The emergence of platforms like HeyGen, offering tools to generate deepfake videos and sophisticated language translation capabilities, challenges the traditional approach to language acquisition. Improved […]
A recent study found that large language models (LLMs) from OpenAI, Meta, and Google exhibit covert racial biases against African Americans in their analysis of language patterns, particularly when it comes to dialect. The research, published in March, focused on how LLMs assigned individuals to certain jobs and made legal judgments based on the language […]
In the evolving landscape of datacenters, a surprising trend is emerging – the potential partnership between technology’s energy appetite and nuclear power. This unexpected alliance is gaining momentum as firms seek cost-efficient solutions for power-demanding AI workloads while also showcasing commitment to green practices. One notable player in this trend is startup NE Edge, […]
A report commissioned by the U.S. government and published recently highlights urgent national security risks posed by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) development. The report warns of potential global security destabilization comparable to the introduction of nuclear weapons, emphasizing the looming risks associated with AGI (artificial general intelligence) technology. The authors, who consulted various AI experts […]
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University have identified a vulnerability in cloud-based AI assistants, such as Chat GPT, that enables hackers to intercept and decrypt conversations between users and these AI assistants. The issue lies in the way these chatbots send responses in small tokens broken into parts for faster encryption, making them susceptible to interception by […]
Renowned sci-fi author Vernor Vinge, widely known as the father of the technological singularity concept, passed away on March 20, 2024, at the age of 79 due to Parkinson’s disease. The news was shared by author David Brin in a heartfelt Facebook tribute, emphasizing Vinge’s profound passion for science and storytelling. Vinge, a celebrated […]
Tennessee has made history by enacting the Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act, or ELVIS Act, making it the first U.S. state to provide legal protections for musicians against unauthorized artificial intelligence impersonation. The new legislation, signed by Gov. Bill Lee at Nashville’s Robert’s Western World alongside country music stars Chris Janson and Luke […]
Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is pursuing €100,000 in damages from a 40-year-old and his father for circulating deepfake pornographic videos of her, which gained millions of views pre-appointment in 2022. Meloni has pledged to donate the compensation to a fund aiding women subjected to gender-based violence. Despite the identification of these culprits, tracking down […]
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates shared insights on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) during an interview on the “Armchair Expert” podcast. Gates highlighted that the current advancements in AI represent only the tip of the iceberg, with significant developments expected in critical sectors like agriculture, health advice, and drug discovery in the next two to […]
