new For all of the bravado of AI, before we become too dazzled or dismayed (depending on which side of this issue you reside), at AI’s potential impact on projects, it is worthwhile to sit back with a skeptical bird’s eye view. After all, as we humans evolved throughout the information age of the mid to late twentieth century, AI can just be considered the latest development in a long series of technological advances driven by the engine of human information input. Even if every one of the improvements stated above are tangible, how well does it translate to the ultimate outcome? Organizations around the globe have been trying to digitalize and computerize, some as early as the 1960s and 1970s. Digitization and computerization promised a revolution in productivity through automation, streamlining, and making humans redundant. But the road to a more significant productivity boost has been arduous at best. One of the primary reasons is captured in the Theory of Constraints (TOC) developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt, an Israeli physicist turned business management guru. In his landmark book The Goal, which sold over 6 million copies, he explains the importance of focusing on the right constraints to improve the overall system. For projects, the constraints are generally not within the technology and tools, but within humans.Healthcare Business Today, 1d ago
new Policymakers are increasingly considering risk-based assessments of AI systems, such as the EU AI Act. We believe that in this context, AI systems with the potential for deception should be classified at least as “high-risk.” This classification would naturally lead to a set of regulatory requirements, including risk assessment and mitigation, comprehensive documentation, and record-keeping of harmful incidents. Second, we suggest passing ‘bot-or-not’ laws similar to the one in California. These laws require AI-generated content to be accompanied by a clear notice informing users that the content was generated by an AI. This would give people context about the content they are viewing and mitigate the risk of AI deception.Montreal AI Ethics Institute, 1d ago
new Exploring the creative capability of artificial intelligence, a study recently published in Scientific Reports illuminates the captivating interplay between human ingenuity and computational creativity. Researchers Mika Koivisto and Simone Grassini utilized the Alternate Uses Task (AUT) as a medium to explore divergent thinking, a cognitive process wherein individuals formulate varied ideas or solutions in response to a singular task. Encompassing responses from 256 human participants and three advanced AI chatbots—ChatGPT3, ChatGPT4, and Copy.Ai—the study scrutinized creative alternatives for commonplace objects such as a pencil and a candle. Delving into semantic distance and creativity as measured through computational and human evaluators, respectively, the findings unveiled a nuanced narrative: while chatbots, on average, surpassed human scores in semantic distance and creativity, the peak of human creativity ultimately eclipsed the AI-generated responses in seven of the eight scoring categories. Thus, while AI chatbots demonstrably weave a tapestry of ideas that align with, or even surpass, average human creativity, the best level of human imaginative thought, at least presently, remains unparalleled. This investigative foray invites further exploration into the application and integration of AI within the realm of creative processes, foreshadowing an intriguing symbiosis of human and artificial creative potentials.Montreal AI Ethics Institute, 1d ago
new LLMs have been all over the news for the past year – both in terms of their ability to tell knock-knock jokes and answer questions, but also because of their visible mistakes – like that AI-generated recipe for chlorine gas and made up legal cases that got a lawyer fined.

What does this mean in practice? It means that cyber security and disinformation, which are already prominent and incredibly challenging features of modern war, will become even more of a problem in conditions of intensive automation. Adversaries have incentives to manipulate or poison the data that feeds AI systems.78 AI will thus expand the range of counterintelligence risks to worry about. It also means that adversaries have incentives to move conflict in unexpected directions, i.e., where AI systems have not been trained and will likely perform in undesired or suboptimal ways. This creates not only data problems but judgment problems as well. Combatants will have to reconsider what they want in challenging new situations. As intelligent adversaries escalate conflict into new regions, attack new classes of targets, or begin harming civilians in new ways, how should AI targeting guidance change, and when should AI systems be withheld altogether? We should expect adversaries facing AI-enabled forces to shift political conflicts into ever more controversial and ethically fraught dimensions.Texas National Security Review, 26d ago
Jobs evolve all the time, and most often, technology creates new jobs while phasing others out. So, while you could anticipate labor shocks to be downstream of AI, the annihilation of human labor is a specious claim. AI requires oversight, which requires humans. Complex AI systems — like those employed in a supply chain — require complex oversight, which means we need people to manage the technology. Supply chain workers can’t become AI minders, but even at its best applications, it simply makes it easier for humans to be human. This is important in many industries, to be sure. But it’s paramount in food and beverage logistics.Food Logistics, 25d ago
One reason to care about non-myopia is that it can cause a system to manipulate its own training process. If an ML system wants to affect what happens after its gradient update, it can do so through the gradient update itself. For instance, an AI might become deceptively aligned, behaving as aligned as possible in order to minimize how much it is changed by stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Or an AI could engage in exploration hacking, avoiding certain behaviors that it does not want to engage in because they will be rewarded and subsequently reinforced. Additionally, non-myopic AI systems could collude in adversarial setups like AI safety via debate. If debates between AI systems are iterated, they are analogous to a prisoners dilemma. If systems are non-myopic they could cooperate.lesswrong.com, 20d ago
AI is also likely to advance incrementally. Rather than a pure robot civilization springing up de novo, it’s more likely that AI will integrate itself into things that already exist in our world. The resulting hybrid entities could take many forms; imagine, for example, a company with a human owner but machine-based operations and research. Among other things, arrangements like this would lead to extreme inequality among humans, as owners would profit from their control of AI, while those without such control would become unemployed and impoverished.Scientific American, 27d ago
...“SMEs looking to ethically incorporate AI should seek to understand the problems they are attempting to solve to be sure that AI solutions are fit for purpose and can solve their challenges rather than add to them. In hiring for example, AI solutions should be proactive in identifying and addressing potential biases, acknowledging their substantial impact on individuals and communities. Clarity on AI algorithm development and functionality is crucial with an emphasis on the need to train algorithms on diverse, representative data to reduce bias.Dynamic Business, 12d ago
Despite the pattern recognition capabilities of AI, a wider understanding of the world and its current affairs is crucial. Financial crime is not just about numbers and data, but also involves complex reasoning and nuance in decision making. Humans are able to consider various factors and make judgments based on their knowledge and experience, which AI may not be able to do. Additionally, AI operates solely on the data it has been trained on, which can sometimes be incomplete or biased. This highlights the importance of human involvement, as they can provide a critical perspective that AI may not be able to capture.aimagazine.com, 21d ago

...(Which, for instance, seems true about humans, at least in some cases: If humans had the computational capacity, they would lie a lot more and calculate personal advantage a lot more. But since those are both computationally expensive, and therefore can be caught-out by other humans, the heuristic / value of "actually care about your friends", is competitive with "always be calculating your personal advantage."I expect this sort of thing to be less common with AI systems that can have much bigger "cranial capacity". But then again, I guess that at whatever level of brain size, there will be some problems for which it's too inefficient to do them the "proper" way, and for which comparatively simple heuristics / values work better. But maybe at high enough cognitive capability, you just have a flexible, fully-general process for evaluating the exact right level of approximation for solving any given problem, and the binary distinction between doing things the "proper" way and using comparatively simpler heuristics goes away. You just use whatever level of cognition makes sense in any given micro-situation.)...lesswrong.com, 16d ago
This adaptability leads to the development of smarter, more accurate AI systems. However, as we strive for continual improvement in AI through such adaptability, we must also prioritize its environmental impact.

Technologies such as Generative AI, according to SAS's Chief Technology Officer, Bryan Harris, are set to augment, not replace, comprehensive AI strategies in various sectors. Organisations are expected to integrate Generative AI as a complement to their respective AI strategies. In banking, for instance, simulated data for stress testing and scenario analysis will aid in predicting risks and preventing losses. In the healthcare sector, it can facilitate the generation of individualised treatment plans, whereas in manufacturing, Generative AI can simulate production to identify opportunities for improving quality, reliability, maintenance, energy efficiency, and yield.IT Brief Australia, 3d ago

So what will we do if AI relieves us of so much work? Hoffman isn’t worried about the “overabundance utopia.” Looking 10 years into the future, he believes we'll all have a personal intelligence assistant to help us navigate many aspects of our lives. We will use AI devices for drug discovery and medicine at a speed and quality we've never seen before. And, perhaps AI will have helped us make a dent in climate change. Deep Mind saved Google 15% when it analyzed suggested reconfiguring electricity flows for all the company's data centers. If we apply that kind of analysis to all buildings, city grids, and power utilization, AI might just save humanity.CHM, 23d ago
The rise of AI, particularly generative AI, will fundamentally alter the nature of skills deemed crucial in the workplace. The emphasis will shift towards skills that AI technology struggles to emulate, such as social skills, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, and unbiased, ethical decision-making. The distinctly human ability to collaborate with others, lead with emotional intelligence, and adapt to rapidly evolving, uncertain environments will take center stage. And as generative AI systems produce vast amounts of content, skills related to curating, interpreting, and contextualizing AI-sourced information will become paramount. In essence, while AI will assume many previously prized “hard skills”, the distinctly human skills that allow for relationship-building, innovative thinking, and unbiased, ethical decision-making will become ever more valued in the workplace. And for good reason, because those uniquely human skills are the truly “hard” ones.Fast Company, 17d ago
The second challenge for the ongoing legislative efforts is the fragmentation. AI systems, much like living organisms, transcend political borders. Attempting to regulate AI through national or regional efforts entails a strong potential for failure, given the likely proliferation capabilities of AI. Major corporations and emerging AI startups outside the EU’s control will persist in creating new technologies, making it nearly impossible to prevent European residents from accessing these advancements. In this light, several stakeholders[4] suggest that any policy and regulatory framework for AI must be established on a global scale. Additionally, Europe’s pursuit of continent-wide regulation poses challenges to remaining competitive in the global AI arena, if the sector enjoys a more relaxed regulatory framework in other parts of the world. Furthermore, Article 6 of the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act introduces provisions for ‘high-risk’ AI systems, requiring developers and deployers themselves to ensure safety and transparency. However, the provision’s self-assessment nature raises concerns about its effectiveness.Modern Diplomacy, 20d ago
Implementing AI systems at scale can have wide societal consequences well beyond the scope of ISED’s mandate. This implies other government ministries and agencies also need to play a formative role in crafting the AIDA legislation. Such government-wide collaboration can build on ISED’s current work with Justice Canada, Global Affairs Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat in Canada’s negotiations with the Council of Europe (COE) to develop a treaty on AI that prominently values human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The COE’s Consolidated Working Draft of the Framework Convention on AI, human rights, democracy and the rule of law provides useful material for Canada’s own AI regime. Not only is Canada’s AI regulatory regime expected to conform to the convention once ratified, but its general provisions, obligations and principles are better aligned with the goals of avoiding harm, building trust and advancing the public interest than anything ISED has made public so far. Other ministries with obvious contributions to make include Employment and Social Development Canada (labour), Public Safety Canada (cybersecurity) and Canadian Heritage (content creators and artists). The Office of the Privacy Commissioner also has an important, but so far neglected, role to play.Centre for International Governance Innovation, 28d ago
Traditional software relies on a rules-based system where the outputs are the same every time. AI tools are iterative and often make decisions without explicit programming. Unlike with traditional software, we don’t always have insight into how AI systems arrive at their conclusions or the factors involved. AI tools therefore require an additional layer of oversight that might not have been previously necessary with traditional software that is “plug and play” and produces the same results using the same processes everytime.Partnership on AI, 19d ago
The second principle is solidarity. As stated in the Montreal Declaration, this principle says we must constantly work toward maintaining quality human relationships and that AI should only be used to develop them.

There are various ways in which he thinks we could get this wrong. In AI, there’s the possibility that you end up with self-generating solutions that turn out not to be beneficial for wider humanity, a race to the bottom between AI-fuelled machines or the risk of weaponisation – it could be literal weaponisation – of these tools to go after somebody else or another state.

Generative AI is the biggest development of our time. Like the internet, it will have a huge impact on teaching and learning. The AI tools of today go so far beyond what we are familiar with, and they continue to evolve, says Ray Schroeder, in conversation with Rod Lastra, Acting Dean, Extended Education. “Too many of us make first-level use of them, using them like Google search, rather than really using them as an assistant.

It has been known for a while that AI-generated faces are often interpreted as more human-like than actual human faces. What interested Miller et al. was that this is not true across all types of faces. Notably, white AI-generated faces tend to be perceived by people as less uncanny or more realistic than AI-generated faces of other racial backgrounds. In other words, existing AI software tends to be better at making hyperrealistic white faces than black, Asian, or Hispanic. It isn’t entirely clear why.Freethink, 3d ago
SAS Chief Technology Officer Bryan Harris said: “Generative AI technology does a lot of things, but it can’t do everything. In 2024, organizations will pivot from viewing generative AI as a stand-alone technology to integrating it as a complement to industry-specific AI strategies.

Generative AI can offer useful tools across the recruiting process, as long as organizations are careful to make sure bias hasn’t been baked into the technology they’re using. For instance, there are models that screen candidates for certain qualifications at the beginning of the hiring process. As well-intentioned as these models might be, they can discriminate against candidates from minoritized groups if the underlying data the models have been trained on isn’t representative enough. As concern about bias in AI gains wider attention, new platforms are being designed specifically to be more inclusive. Chandra Montgomery, my Lindauer colleague and a leader in advancing equity in talent management, advises clients on tools and resources that can help mitigate bias in technology. One example is Latimer, a large language model trained on data reflective of the experiences of people of color. It’s important to note that, in May, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission declared that employers can be held liable if their use of AI results in the violation of non-discrimination laws – such as Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. When considering AI vendors for parts of their recruiting or hiring process, organizations must look carefully at every aspect of the design of the technology. For example, ask for information about where the vendor sourced the data to build and train the program and who beta tested the tool’s performance. Then, try to audit for unintended consequences or side effects to determine whether the tool may be screening out some individuals you want to be sure are screened in.Hunt Scanlon Media, 3d ago
Training individuals to use AI ethically is essential in order to ensure responsible and unbiased deployment of this powerful technology. Ethical AI training equips individuals and organizations with the knowledge and skills to navigate the challenges and identify risks that arise when working with AI systems. It ultimately boils down to mitigating risk – just like anti-bribery and corruption policies, as well as the importance of data privacy and security.

That’s where the good news comes in. The security rewards of AI are immense. For example, in our email protection suite, Barracuda AI uses the metadata from internal, external, and historical emails to create an identity graph for each Office 365 user that defines the unique communication patterns of an individual. These machine-learned models allow Barracuda to identify behavioral, content, and link-forwarding anomalies in your company’s email communications to protect against spear phishing, business email compromise, lateral phishing and other targeted threats.CXOToday.com, 4d ago
Regulators need to implement guidelines that help standardize the language around AI, which will help with understanding the model being used, and ultimately regulate risk parameters for these models. Otherwise, its potential to take the exact same data set, and draw wildly different conclusions based upon its biases—conscious or unconscious—that are ingrained from the outset. More importantly, without a clear understanding of the model, a business cannot determine if outputs from the platform fit within its own risk and ethics criteria.TechRadar, 4d ago
AI has possible downsides and restrictions, just like any other new technology. Concerns around false information and data privacy have grown. Its seeming incapacity to forge genuine connections with the world around us raises other issues. The well-known blogging destination Medium has even implemented rules to limit the use of AI on its network, reminding readers that they are a place for human storytelling. For AI to be effectively applied in any industry, including events, businesses need to grasp the notion of “Explainable AI.”...Event-Technology Portal, 4d ago
But there are tradeoffs. While AI can improve the simulation speed, it comes at the cost of accuracy. In addition, while large language models can understand the question that’s being asked of it, the actual answer it returns needs to be put in context. “It still needs the EDA vendor or the software vendor to feed and curate the context,” Slater said. “Generative AI can give you amazing things if you’re drawing on a really large database of information, but when it comes to design, that information may not be readily available.”...Semiconductor Engineering, 4d ago

Amidst these discussions, I could not help but thinking of the results we had with the first HSG Grand Challenge: The EU A.I. Act 2023. This groundbreaking challenge gathered twelve teams, each comprising professionals spanning computer science, law, and social sciences. Their task was formidable: to scrutinize AI applications, ranging from healthcare to telecommunication, under the lens of the evolving AI Act. Teams examined whether specific technologies qualified as high-risk under the Act, assessing compliance with its mandates on human oversight, risk management, data transparency, and cybersecurity. The goal was not just to assess compliance but also to provide actionable insights for the technology companies in order to enhance their adherence to the Act.HSG - Uni SG, 14d ago
Happy to. Thank you very much. So I think the important point in what you’re saying is that AI today is an accelerant of many of the dynamics that are currently present in our society, in our economy, and among those, for example, is rising economic inequality and declining social and economic mobility, which has been an issue now in this country for decades. And one of the greatest worries about AI is that it will accelerate those trends unless we actively govern AI in ways that ensure that its benefits are realized by everyone who has a right to have the infrastructure that AI will build serve them. So I’ll just say that I think the fact that we have done this in the past with other technologies that were at the time equally unprecedented, equally powerful, equally challenging to regulate actually if we have the political will leaves us in a better place than we have ever been to govern a complex technology like ai because we have 200 years of experience in regulatory innovation in adjusting the incentives for powerful actors. It has been effective before. That is why airplanes now are safer than driving. That would not have happened if we had stepped back and let airlines operate without any kind of regulatory oversight, accountability or constraint.Tech Policy Press, 25d ago
Since humans are focused on the content of language, they are not able to track these patterns as AI does. Video interviewing algorithms can link nonverbal communication, body language, and physical speech patterns to signals of potential, which human interviewers cannot do, without being also influenced by content, and physical appearance factors they should ignore. The same goes for scraping your digital footprint, which AI does better than humans, because humans are still unconsciously influenced by appearance.Fast Company, 19d ago
Cxaxrxexe and other accounts like it (e.g, @LitCartoons420) are proof that AI-generated content can be fun and harmless. But as AI continues to become more popular in all industries, there has been some concern for what its use in the music industry could mean for the future. Although the creator is not in the tech or music industry, they suggest the future for AI technology in music and pop culture can be bright, if used responsibly. “I believe that it can go far,” they add. “As long as there's mutual respect between the parties involved, which would be the artist and the person that's doing the AI. If they can come to a common ground, then it could be beautiful. It's not here to replace art, but it can be its own thing and maybe an aid in art.

Operationalizing complex social, environmental, and ethical issues into AI systems can be difficult, and there’s a risk that trying to address every ethical concern could hinder innovation and technological progress. The European Union, the political entity most concerned with drafting AI regulation, has repeatedly kicked the can further down the line. Companies can’t really be trusted to self-regulate, and there’s no clear framework for how any regulation of this sort can work.ZME Science, 11d ago
AI Snake Oil Blog: “Foundation models such as GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion 2 are the engines of generative AI. While the societal impact of foundation models is growing, transparency is on the decline, mirroring the opacity that has plagued past digital technologies like social media. How are these models trained and deployed? Once released, how do users actually use them? Who are the workers that build the datasets that these systems rely on, and how much are they paid? Transparency about these questions is important to keep companies accountable and understand the societal impact of foundation models. Today, we’re introducing the Foundation Model Transparency Index to aggregate transparency information from foundation model developers, identify areas for improvement, push for change, and track progress over time. This effort is a collaboration between researchers from Stanford, MIT, and Princeton. The inaugural 2023 version of the index consists of 100 indicators that assess the transparency of the developers’ practices around developing and deploying foundation models. Foundation models impact societal outcomes at various levels, and we take a broad view of what constitutes transparency…Execution. For the 2023 Index, we score 10 leading developers against our 100 indicators. This provides a snapshot of transparency across the AI ecosystem.

Ultimately, there are simply too many unknowns and far too wide of gaps in regulations to risk constructing generative AI from scratch — by the time it becomes useful, it will largely be outdated. Companies should instead pay attention to everything a vendor does outside of AI. Do they act responsibly and with the utmost transparency? Do they have a history of siding with consumers on hot button topics like privacy? How quickly does the company release updates to its software and how stable are releases, generally, upon initial release?...diginomica, 4d ago

But are technical standards enough? In 2022, NIST warned against an over-reliance on technical solutions to address the complex challenges of AI governance, including those relating to social, political, economic, and ethical concerns. Thus, as future AI systems become self-governing, self-improving, and self-adapting, technical controls alone may be insufficient to harness their potential while mitigating risk. NIST therefore called for development of a socio-technical approach that bridges the gap between technical and social standards and expectations.bloomberglaw.com, 28d ago

...• Create: Corporate culture shifts. A company’s culture plays a crucial role in determining its success with GenAI. Companies that struggle with innovation and change will find it tough to keep pace. Does your company have a learning culture? That could be the key to success.

Both questions involve cultural issues that boards should consider prompting their management teams to examine.DATAQUEST, 4d ago
The Academy of Management Review invites scholars to contribute to a Special Topic Forum (STF) on AI’s multifaceted role in management and organization theory. Theoretical exploration is paramount to advance our understanding of how AI is reshaping the organizational landscape and redefining management as we know it. The STF seeks to tackle essential research questions at multiple levels of theorizing. At the micro level, researchers could delve into how predictive and generative AI applications alter key managerial tasks, such as communication, decision making, employee engagement, problem solving, and innovation. At the meso level, scholars might explore how organizations leverage predictive and generative AI for new strategies, structures, and capabilities. At the macro level, scholars could scrutinize the ethical, regulatory, and societal ramifications of integrating AI into organizations’ day-to-day management.AOM_CMS, 4d ago
Trust is deeply relational (Scheman 2020, Knudsen et al, 2021, Baier 1986), and has been understood in terms of the vulnerabilities inherent in relationships (Mayer et al 1995). Yet discussions about trust in AI systems often reveal a lack of understanding of the communities whose lives they touch — their particular vulnerabilities, and the power imbalances that further entrench them. Some populations are expected to simply put their trust in large AI systems. Yet those systems only need to prove themselves useful to the institutions deploying them, not trustworthy to the people enmeshed in their decisions (Angwin et. al 2016, O’Neill 2018; Ostherr et. al 2017). At the same time, researchers often stop upon asking whether we can trust algorithms, instead of extending the question of trust to the institutions feeding data into or deploying these algorithms.Data & Society, 4d ago
The scope of applications for this new system stretches across various industries and use cases. Customers can privately customise foundation models with their data, convert data into vector embeddings, and process these embeddings using MongoDB Atlas Vector Search. Applications responding to user queries can do so with relevant, contextualised responses, eliminating the need to manually code. For instance, a retail apparel organisation can develop a generative AI application to simplify the processing of inventory requests in real-time or personalise customer returns and exchanges with in-stock, similar merchandise suggestions. Fully managed capabilities from the upcoming integration offer secure use of generative AI throughout organisations with lower operational overheads.ChannelLife Australia, 4d ago

Bloomberg – Microsoft, Adobe and OpenAI are all pledging to defend their customers against intellectual property lawsuits, but that guarantee doesn’t apply to everyone. “AI companies are pledging to defend their customers against intellectual property lawsuits. Those indemnities are narrower than the announcements suggest. But first: The fine print Last Monday, twelve minutes into his 45-minute keynote at OpenAI’s first developers conference, CEO Sam Altman unveiled a set of legal protections the company is calling “Copyright Shield.” The new policy “means that we will step in and defend our customers and pay the costs incurred if you face legal claims around copyright infringement,” he said. Talking with journalists later that morning, Altman was asked why OpenAI had the confidence to legally protect customers, particularly with copyright lawsuits from writers, music labels and comedians raining down on Silicon Valley as tech companies use content from the web to train chatbots and image-generation services. “We’re very confident in our approach, but we want to share that confidence with developers,” Altman said….Copyright Shield got less attention than OpenAI’s other major news last week, like the option to customize its chatbot into tailored GPTs, and the potential of its new features to undermine other AI startups. But with so much anxiety and confusion about the legal risks of using generative AI, it’s worth examining further. OpenAI was actually late to the indemnification game. In June, Adobe announced it would protect customers against intellectual property lawsuits stemming from the use of its AI image generator, Firefly. Microsoft followed in September with its Copilot Copyright Commitment, pledging to pay settlements for customers who get sued for using or distributing material churned out by AI in software like Windows, Word, PowerPoint and its code-generator, Github Copilot. Last month, Google joined the party with a flexing blog post unveiling legal protections for users of its AI services. “To put it plainly for you, our customers: if you are challenged on copyright grounds, we will assume responsibility for the potential legal risks involved.”...bespacific.com, 19d ago
Limited expert knowledge: AI algorithms may have limitations in accessing and processing expert knowledge in specific subject areas, leading to potential gaps or inaccuracies in the training content. Without a comprehensive understanding of the expertise and insights provided by human trainers, AI tools may struggle to offer in-depth and accurate training content. It’s crucial to acknowledge the limitations of AI in terms of accessing expert knowledge and to involve human experts in the curation and validation of training content. By combining the expertise of human trainers with the capabilities of AI, organizations can ensure that the training materials are up-to-date and well-informed.Training Industry, 28d ago

In June 2023, the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act was modified to incorporate new obligations for foundation models, including design and development approaches that achieve “appropriate levels of interpretability” over the model’s lifecycle (article 28b (2.c)). In July, the White House announced it had secured voluntary commitments from seven AI companies (now 15) to manage AI risk. These commitments fell into three categories, including “safety,” where explainability was specifically referenced: “companies making this commitment commit to advancing ongoing research in AI safety, including on the interpretability of AI systems’ decision-making processes.” And more recently, G7 leaders agreed to a code of conduct on AI that advocates for explainability and interpretability, among other requirements.Centre for International Governance Innovation, 11d ago

It’s not just about following the doctor’s orders — the sources of information and patient comprehension of the treatment plan itself all play a role in whether patients adhere to the healthcare provider’s recommendations. This is where generative AI can relieve some of the pressure. Its advanced algorithms bring years of clinical data to the fore in seconds. With sentiment analysis tools built-in, it takes this complex information and summarizes it for patients in a conversational tone so they can understand their treatments comfortably.electronichealthreporter.com, 4d ago
Her argument – as I have argued in every article I’ve written, is that AI – generative and otherwise – is actually MPL – Mass Produced Logic. What this means is that every AI system, be it ChatGPT, DeepMind and other Google AI systems, or that of Meta, Amazon, Microsoft etc., are not spontaneous explosions of logic, like, in a way, all living beings are, but are deliberately produced logic systems made for specific or generic use cases using existing logic systems in the world.Sify, 4d ago

As AI adoption grows, energy consumption becomes a pressing concern. Intel’s approach involves optimizing hardware and software to enhance energy efficiency. This optimization ensures that the right hardware is used for the right tasks, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Additionally, Intel focuses on developing smaller AI models tailored to specific tasks, further improving efficiency, according to Gillich.SiliconANGLE, 4d ago
In response to the introduction of this new type of technology in healthcare, the CAR has set up a Radiology AI Validation Network (RAIVN). This assembly consists of AI specialists in the field of radiology tasked with assisting with post-market assessment of AI applications. As a resource, RAIVN would serve as the national body responsible for evaluating the performance of these technologies and pre-identifying any potential issues that may affect patient care. While this program is still in its infancy, we are hopeful its integration will be smoothly executed in the months ahead. We also believe that the RAIVN framework can and should be applied more generally to all AI based solutions in healthcare.Hospital News, 4d ago
In the legal sphere, particularly in cases of complex digital advertising litigation involving AI, the interplay between AI and human expertise becomes pivotal. Expert witnesses play a crucial role in bridging the technical complexities of AI with the legal world, elucidating how AI functions, its limitations, and potential biases. They also emphasize the human element in AI, emphasizing the roles humans play in designing, training, and deploying AI algorithms. As AI's significance continues to grow in digital advertising, the synergy between AI and human intelligence will shape the future of the industry and its legal landscape.24-7 Press Release Newswire, 4d ago
Researchers from MIT and Meta AI have developed an object reorientation controller that can utilize a single depth camera to reorient diverse shapes of objects in real-time. The challenge addressed by this development is the need for a versatile and efficient object manipulation system that can generalize to new conditions without requiring a consistent pose of key points across objects. The platform can also extend beyond object reorientation to other dexterous manipulation tasks, with opportunities for further improvement highlighted for future research.MarkTechPost, 4d ago
...“As ethical considerations surrounding AI become more prominent, it is important to take stock of where the recent developments have taken us, and to meaningfully choose where we want to go from here. The responsible future of AI requires vision, foresight, and courageous leadership that upholds ethical integrity in the face of more expedient options. Explainable AI, which focuses on making machine learning models interpretable to non-experts, is certain to become increasingly important as these technologies impact more sectors of society, and both regulators and the public demand the ability to contest algorithmic decision-making. Both of these subfields not only offer exciting avenues for technical innovation but also address growing societal and ethical concerns surrounding machine learning.”...electronicspecifier.com, 4d ago
Generative AI types are good at emulating a wide range of personas and sticking to them. With the application of correct prompting techniques, the concentration or behavior of the product can be directed to get on a individual bias. From there, a product can evaluate a wide variety of risk situations by emulating various personas, supplying perception with diverse views. By making use of a selection of views, Generative AI can be leveraged to offer comprehensive risk assessments and are a lot a lot more able of getting neutral evaluators (via persona emulation) than a human would be. One particular can discussion a design with an opposing persona and make sure that scenarios being evaluated are completely red teamed.The Cyber Security News, 4d ago

The report shows that 54% of AI users expect increased productivity from generative AI tools, with only 4% foreseeing a reduction in workforce. Currently, the most common applications are in programming, data analysis, and customer-facing applications, with significant use in marketing and content generation. Companies are also cautious, testing for unexpected outcomes, security vulnerabilities, and issues related to fairness, bias, ethics, and privacy.electronicspecifier.com, 4d ago
The reported tension between Toner and Altman may smack of personal politics, but it is also a microcosm of a broader tension in the world of AI research as to the field’s goals and the best—or least dangerous—ways to get there. As I wrote recently in this newsletter, there are, broadly, two schools of thought when it comes to the potential dangers of AI research. One focuses on the risk that people will unwittingly give birth to an all-powerful artificial intelligence, with potentially catastrophic results for humanity. (Many believers in effective altruism fall into this camp.) Geoffrey Hinton, seen by many in the field as the godfather of modern AI research, said recently that he left Google specifically so that he could raise the alarm about the dangers of super-intelligent AI. Last month, President Biden issued an executive order in an attempt to set boundaries for the development of AI; this week, sixteen countries including the US agreed to abide by common research standards.Columbia Journalism Review, 4d ago
A recent McKinsey report, led by auhtors Joe Caserta and Kayvaun Rowshankish, points out there is unrelenting pressure to "do something with generative AI". The report authors suggest IT and data managers "will need to develop a clear view of the data implications of generative AI." Perhaps most challenging "is generative AI's ability to work with unstructured data, such as chats, videos, and code," according to Caserta and his team. "Data organizations have traditionally had capabilities to work with only structured data, such as data in tables." This shift in data concerns means organizations need to rethink the overall data architecture supporting generative AI initiatives. "While this might sound like old news, the cracks in the system a business could get away with before will become big problems with generative AI.continuingedupdate.blogspot.com, 4d ago
Security around AI will be important, with the ability to do more and know more, and the most likely source of an attack being a valid credential being misused, according to Baer. Companies and industries are having a reckoning and need to define the values they want to live by — with tech being human-constructed and the potential for underserved communities to gain more accessibility, while also aiming for more, better and faster progress in a deliberate and conscious way.SiliconANGLE, 4d ago
Malyon outlined the goal to lower the typical 800 reports from a grand prix to a more manageable 50, easing the strain on FIA staff. In addition to Computer Vision, the FIA trialled Catapult in Abu Dhabi, a system designed to improve car location accuracy. Chris Bentley, Single-Seater Head of Information Systems Strategy, mentioned how similar technology is used in NFL for player identification and how it could enhance the FIA's live feeds. He said: "There are examples in NFL where they can identify every player on the pitch, even if they're in a big huddle. We can also use that technology on our live feeds. That will be the same as the new tool, and then we will be able to draw the 'lines of interest'. And then the AI would learn as it goes along."...electronicspecifier.com, 4d ago
We are facing a dilemma. Our AI systems would be much safer and more useful if they possessed a modicum of adult-level common sense. But one cannot create adult-level common sense without first creating the common sense of a child on which such adult-level abilities are based. Three-year-old common sense is an important first step, as even such young children have the fundamental understanding that their own actions have consequences and actually matter. But on their own, the abilities of a three-year-old aren’t commercially viable. Further, AI’s focus on super-human narrow capabilities with an expectation that these will broaden and merge into common sense hasn’t borne fruit and is unlikely to any time soon.RTInsights, 4d ago

OpenAI isn’t alone in taking this team approach to AI agents. DeepMind itself is working on a new AI agent called Gemini, which CEO Demis Hassabis has suggested might use a similar approach to that used by AlphaGo, but with a large language model thrown into the mix. This might result in a system that reacts to context or situational data, like AlphaGo, and also converses and takes instructions in plain language like ChatGPT.Fast Company, 4d ago
These current conversations may serve as a conduit for cultivating ‘topic trust’ between nations in conflict. Perhaps the U.S. and China can agree that AI is a powerful tool that if not utilized properly, could have serious consequences. AI stands as a potent instrument capable of faster data processing, augmenting educational experiences, and disseminating information. However, similar to numerous technological innovations, this power is accompanied by the ability for instigating fear, obscurity, and disinformation. Consequently, a pertinent question arises: Can the United States and China effectively harness such technological prowess without precipitating mutual destruction?...Modern Diplomacy, 4d ago
If the recent tussle over the firing and re-hiring of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has taught us anything, it’s that there will always be an inherent tension between what AI promises – its inherent value – and the risks of a technology potentially “too disruptive for its own good”. Over the next year we can expect more OpenAI style fall-outs involving native AI companies, regulators, governments and other stakeholders as society grapples with the implications of what is essentially a live experiment. Companies engaging at any level with generative AI should expect and even encourage debate around how this dichotomy can be handled.Compare the Cloud, 4d ago

Another significant cybersecurity risk associated with AI is bias and discrimination. If AI models are trained on biased data, they can perpetuate and amplify existing biases, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes. To mitigate this risk, it is crucial to implement bias detection and mitigation strategies. Auditing AI models for bias, and implementing unbiased algorithms will help ensure fair decision-making. Collaborating with experts in ethics and diversity can also provide valuable perspectives on identifying and mitigating biases within AI systems.Cyber Defense Magazine, 27d ago
The measure targets many areas for concern surrounding AI, particularly in terms of civil rights, equity, and privacy. Increased emphasis is put on further developing privacy-preserving techniques like cryptography. Establishing a framework to tackle data breaches is critical to protecting the privacy of US citizens. This is particularly vital, given the risks associated with AI and the added incentives for companies to use data for training AI systems.Energy Monitor, 26d ago
The advancement of conversational AI is not just about technological innovation; it also encompasses the understanding of human psychology and language. The best conversational AI systems are designed not only to understand what is being said, but also the intent and emotion behind the words. This requires a complex interplay of AI algorithms, extensive language models, and sometimes even inputs from fields like psychology and linguistics.Rebellion Research, 14d ago
Ada also recently introduced a product, Generative Actions, that enables clients to train their AI bots on how to retrieve information from their business systems, making for more personalized responses and actions that can be carried out. “We’re now starting to see AI experiences that we’re powering that are not only on par with what humans are capable of, but are exceeding human capability,” Murchison said. “That’s huge because the whole mission of Ada is to make customer service extraordinary for everyone.”...University of Toronto, 14d ago
Deborah Threadgold, country general manager, IBM Ireland, said: “As Ireland’s National AI Strategy recognises, providing workers with the right skills for AI jobs must go hand-in-hand with a much wider skills agenda, to ensure that everyone in society can benefit from the digital transformation that AI will bring. This should include a wide range of AI and digital courses across secondary, further and higher education, and raising the level of digital skills amongst the general public. That’s why we are investing in AI training, with a commitment to reach 2 million learners in three years, and expanding IBM SkillsBuild to collaborate with universities and nonprofits on new generative AI education for learners all over the world.”...TechCentral.ie, 12d ago
Generative AI systems are developed in two main phases: first the development of a model by learning from very large quantities of data and significant computing capacities, called a foundation model or generative model, then, in a second phase, its implementation in a system. This can be general purpose, like ChatGPT, which produces answers from queries, or adapted to different domains in industrial sectors, after including data specific to them.Archyde, 6d ago

The tech optimists working in AI, including Altman, generally agree that the best-case scenario with more-powerful AI is an absolute leveling of industries from law to medicine to education. With that will come enormous numbers of people who are put out of work—although tech optimists argue they will find better jobs (what those better jobs might be is unclear, given that AI is not generally taking over unpleasant and dangerous manual labor tasks, but rather seems to be thriving in creative pursuits like stealing writers’ words and stealing artists’ art).Ms. Magazine, 5d ago
Currently, generative AI’s output is highly dependent on input expertise, which means prompt engineering is becoming an increasingly valuable skill. Generative AI output was likened to a couple of interns, the material it produces is not perfect straightaway but is very much workable to achieve the desired outcome. It was suggested that in the future it will be possible to buy and sell successful prompt inputs. Human expertise is vital at this stage, both as guardrails and for creative direction.Verdict, 5d ago
Due to the current situation, the Commission presented a possible compromise text on November 19, 2023. Although it maintained Parliament’s tiered approach, it also significantly softened the regulation. Firstly, the term “foundation model” no longer appears in the text. Instead, the Commission distinguishes between “general-purpose AI models” and “general-purpose AI systems” – according to the Commission’s definition, however, these terms continue to correspond to the terms “foundation model” and “general-purpose AI” introduced by the Parliament. According to the proposal, providers of general-purpose AI models should, among other things, be obliged to document the functionality of their AI models by means of so-called “model cards.” If the AI model poses a systemic risk – which should initially be measured in terms of computing power – they are subject to additional monitoring obligations. The text also contains an article according to which the Commission is to draw up non-binding codes of practice. This refers to practical guidelines, for example, on the implementation of model cards, on the basis of which players can ensure their compliance with the AI Act. However, possible sanctions are not mentioned.Tech Policy Press, 5d ago
Generative AI has been the biggest technology story of 2023, and for good reason. The ability to generate full-fledged artistic creations from a simple text prompt appeals to a wide range of people, and Adobe has dropped that tech into the most popular photo editing program in the world. Many other generative AI tools require complex setups and can present other hurdles for a new user. Adobe’s solution, however, nestles neatly in with traditional image editing tools. During the beta period, the internet exploded with people using Photoshop’s new feature to create countless weird, wonderful, and sometimes unnerving images. The tool now resides in the official version of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe’s other apps, and the results are often impressive, if sometimes confounding.Popular Science, 5d ago

The problem is that as AI tools continue to proliferate, human reviewers could be tempted to use them more and more to accelerate their model-training and data-labeling tasks. AI practitioners are currently debating the potential influence of incorporating AI tools into the feedback loop.
