Extremists are also experimenting with using the platforms more creatively, to produce blueprints for 3D-printed weapons or generate malicious codes designed to steal the personal information of potential recruitment targets.
We’re taking a break – back the 1st of July, with all the latest news about AI chatbots!
The system worked by scanning the exam questions using the button camera, which then relayed the information to an unnamed AI model. The software generated the correct answers and recited them to the student through an earpiece.
DuckDuckGo’s AI Chat currently features access to OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, and two open source models, Meta’s Llama 3 and Mistral’s Mixtral 8x7B.
Several former OpenAI employees warned in an open letter that advanced AI companies like OpenAI stifle criticism and oversight, especially as concerns over AI safety have increased in the past few months.
The incorrect answers are the result of “misinterpreting queries, misinterpreting a nuance of language on the web, or not having a lot of great information available.”
“My first instinct is they would say, ‘Replace all the employees but not me. But I thought more deeply and would say 80 percent of the work that a C.E.O. does can be replaced by A.I.”
“If any company could have successfully governed itself while safely and ethically developing advanced AI systems, it would have been OpenAI… It didn’t work.”
Altman was on his world tour during much of the casting process and not intimately involved.
FTC Chair Lina Khan said Wednesday that companies that train their artificial intelligence (A) models on data from news websites, artists’ creations or people’s personal information could be in violation of antitrust laws.
Its members include: Stripe CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison, former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, and former Microsoft executive and investor Charlie Songhurst.
“OpenAI has permission to display content from News Corp mastheads in response to user questions and to enhance its products.” What that possibly means: The models can be trained on News Corp articles, answer queries using that info, and cite sources.
These jokey posts from random Internet users probably wouldn’t be among the first answers someone saw when clicking through a list of web links. But with AI Overviews, those trolls were integrated into the authoritative-sounding data summary.
Large-language-model-powered chatbots could already be providing better service — at all hours, in all languages, at less cost — for people who rely on the federal government for veterans benefits, student loans, unemployment, social security and Medicare.
Sutskever’s future with the company has been in doubt since, while on the board, he voted to oust Altman from his role as CEO, only to reverse course and sign an open letter demanding his return.
The abilities you’ll gain include being able to use Copilot to read and send text messages on your Android device (via the PC, of course), or look up contact information.
Microsoft also plans to integrate this entire experience into Microsoft Copilot. You’ll be able to ask “which days should I go in this week?” and you’ll get a list of suggestions based on in-person meetings, when your co-workers are planning to be in.
OpenAI is making a number of its previously subscription-only features available to free users of ChatGPT, with the biggest being the ability to browse its GPT Store and use custom bots…
Users could open the ChatGPT desktop app in a small window, alongside another program. They asked ChatGPT questions about what’s on their screen — whether by typing or saying it. ChatGPT could then respond based on what it “sees.”
The AI assistant seemed to easily pick up on emotions, adapted its tone and style to match the user’s requests, and even incorporated sound effects, laughing, and singing into its responses.
One system even altered its behaviour during mock safety tests, raising the prospect of auditors being lured into a false sense of security.
DotDask Meredith signed a deal on Tuesday with OpenAI to use AI models for its ad-targeting product, D/Cipher. In turn, Dotdash Meredith will license its content to ChatGPT.
The chatbot acts as an assistant for Amazon Web Services (AWS) users, learning from a company’s data and workflows so employees can ask questions about their business. Users can also ask Q questions about coding, HR information, or logistics.
Your “Gemini mobile app” may be any of the following:
On Android: the Gemini app, including as your mobile assistant
On iOS: the Gemini tab in the Google app
About four-in-ten adults have not too much or no trust in the election information that comes from ChatGPT. By comparison, just 2% have a great deal or quite a bit of trust.
The position was further elevated last month, when the White House announced federal agencies were required to designate chief AI officers “to ensure accountability, leadership, and oversight” of the technology. Yet the role’s responsibilities are still being worked out.
Microsoft said on Tuesday that it would make a $1.5 billion investment in G42, an artificial intelligence giant in the United Arab Emirates, in a deal largely orchestrated by the Biden administration to box out China as Washington and Beijing battle over who will exercise technological influence in the Persian Gulf region and beyond.
A study that identified buzzword adjectives that could be hallmarks of AI-written text in peer-review reports suggests that researchers are turning to ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools to evaluate others’ work.
The same companies telling the public that “AI is enabling new forms of connection and expression” should also be willing to offer an explanation when its systems are unable to handle queries for an entire race of people.
Tech companies including OpenAI, Google and Meta have cut corners, ignored corporate policies and debated bending the law, according to an examination by The New York Times.
Copilot Designer is unique in the amount of times it gives life to the worst stereotypes of Jews as greedy or mean. A seemingly neutral prompt such as “jewish boss” or “jewish banker” can give horrifyingly offensive outputs.
In the initial phase, the consortium will look at 56 roles likely to be eliminated by AI first. According to IBM these roles include 80 percent of the top 45 ICT job titles.
A large language model (LLM) can be convinced to tell you how to build a bomb if you prime it with a few dozen less-harmful questions first.

Workspace customers will get “enterprise-grade data protections” and settings in the Google Workspace Admin console and that Workspace users can “use Gemini confidently at work” while “trusting that your conversations aren’t used to train Gemini models.”
Gemini 1.5 promises to be faster and more efficient thanks to a specialization technique called “mixture of experts,” also known as MoE. Instead of running the entire model every time it receives a query, Gemini’s MoE can use just the relevant parts…
“We’ve seen experts speculating that the problem could stem from ChatGPT having its temperature set too high, suddenly losing past context, or perhaps OpenAI is testing a new version of GPT-4 Turbo…”
“The figures were notably larger for image-generation models, which used on average 2.9 kWh per 1,000 inferences. The average smartphone uses 0.012 kWh to charge, so generating one image using AI can use almost as much energy as charging your smartphone.”
“Gemini 1.5 Pro comes with a standard 128,000 token context window. But starting today, a limited group of developers and enterprise customers can try it with a context window of up to 1 million tokens”
That most of this AI capability would be implemented using nVidia products likely never occurred to Huang.

“It’s fundamentally a collection of links to stories from around the web about a topic, curated and summarized by a Semafor reporter. The twist is that Semafor built an AI-powered search tool…”
Google’s Bard chatbot is now powered by the Gemini Pro model globally with support for more than 40 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Users can prompt Bard to generate photos using Google’s Imagen 2 text-to-image model.
Microsoft has introduced more protections to Designer, an AI text-to-image generation tool that people were using to make nonconsensual sexual images of celebrities.
Copilot might become local, once Windows devices are powerful enough to handle it without impacting the Windows experience.
At the World Economic Forum meeting at Davos last week, DeepMind co-founder Suleyman said he thinks AI tech will soon reach the point where it could dream up a company, project-manage it, and successfully sell products.
We’ve seen a large cast of AI-related characters emerge that includes tech CEOs, machine learning researchers, and AI ethicists—as well as charlatans and doomsayers. From public feedback on the subject of AI, we’ve heard that it’s been difficult for non-technical people to know who to believe…
