Chinese authorities published the nation’s rules governing generative AI on Thursday, including protections that aren’t in place elsewhere in the world. Some of the rules require operators of generative AI to ensure their services “adhere to the core values of socialism” and don’t produce output that includes “incitement to subvert state power.” AIs are also Read more about China sets AI rules – not just risk based (EU AI Act), but also ideological[…]

It didn’t take long for the downsides of a generative AI-empowered newsroom to make themselves obvious, between CNet’s secret chatbot reviews editor last November and Buzzfeed’s subsequent mass layoffs of human staff in favor of AI-generated “content” creators. The specter of being replaced by a “good enough AI” looms large in many a journalist’s mind Read more about How AI could help local newsrooms remain afloat in a sea of misinformation – read and learn, Gizmodo staffers[…]

G/O Media is the owner of top sites like Gizmodo, Kotaku, Quartz, and the Onion. Last month they announced “modest tests” of AI-generated content on their sites — and it didn’t go over well within the company, reports the Washington Post. Soon the Deputy Editor of Gizmodo’s science fiction section io9 was flagging 18 “concerns, Read more about How An AI-Written ‘Star Wars’ Story Shows Yet Again the Luddism at Gizmodo[…]

Game developers looking to distribute their playable creations via Valve’s popular Steam hub may have trouble if they’re looking to use AI during the creative process. The game publisher and distributor says that Steam will no longer tolerate products that were generated using copyright-infringing AI content. Since that’s a policy that could apply to most—if not Read more about Valve All But Bans AI-Generated Content from Steam Games[…]

GPT detectors frequently misclassify non-native English writing as AI generated, raising concerns about fairness and robustness. Addressing the biases in these detectors is crucial to prevent the marginalization of non-native English speakers in evaluative and educational settings and to create a more equitable digital landscape. […] if AI-generated content can easily evade detection while human Read more about GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers, can be fooled very easily[…]

[…] someone’s gone ahead and locked both President Biden and former president / classified document holder Donald Trump into an infinite battle on Twitch that can only be described as “unhinged.” Maybe that’s because the version of Biden we see on the trumporbiden2024 livestream isn’t Joe Biden per se, but clearly Dark Brandon, who is Read more about Watch AI Trump Vs AI Biden In A Deranged Endless Live Debate[…]

AI proved just how talented it can be at ripping off major artists after a computer-generated song based on The Weeknd and Drake went viral in April. Now, the Recording Academy—the body that votes on and manages the annual Grammy Awards—is setting new rules for AI’s role in the coveted accolade. Speaking to Grammy.com, Recording Read more about The Grammys’ New Rules—AI Can’t Win Awards[…]

Workers hired via crowdsource services like Amazon Mechanical Turk are using large language models to complete their tasks – which could have negative knock-on effects on AI models in the future. Data is critical to AI. Developers need clean, high-quality datasets to build machine learning systems that are accurate and reliable. Compiling valuable, top-notch data, Read more about AIs are being fed with AI output by the people who are supposed to feed AI with original input[…]

Meta has unveiled Voicebox, its generative text-to-speech model that promises to do for the spoken word what ChatGPT and Dall-E, respectfully, did for text and image generation. Essentially, its a text-to-output generator just like GPT or Dall-E — just instead of creating prose or pretty pictures, it spits out audio clips. Meta defines the system Read more about Meta’s Voicebox AI does text-to-speech without huge training data per voice[…]

The rules aim to promote the uptake of human-centric and trustworthy AI and protect the health, safety, fundamental rights and democracy from its harmful effects. On Wednesday, the European Parliament adopted its negotiating position on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act with 499 votes in favour, 28 against and 93 abstentions ahead of talks with EU Read more about MEPs ready to negotiate first-ever rules for safe and transparent AI after passing AI act in Parliament[…]

Meta has created an AI language model that (in a refreshing change of pace) isn’t a ChatGPT clone. The company’s Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project can recognize over 4,000 spoken languages and produce speech (text-to-speech) in over 1,100. Like most of its other publicly announced AI projects, Meta is open-sourcing MMS today to help preserve Read more about Meta’s open-source speech AI recognizes over 4,000 spoken languages | Engadget[…]

[…] As defined in academic studies, “emergent” abilities refers to “abilities that are not present in smaller-scale models, but which are present in large-scale models,” as one such paper puts it. In other words, immaculate injection: increasing the size of a model infuses it with some amazing ability not previously present. […] those emergent abilities Read more about LLM emergent behavior written off as rubbish – small models work fine but are measured poorly[…]

[…] Building on this work, today we’re introducing PaLM 2, our next generation language model. PaLM 2 is a state-of-the-art language model with improved multilingual, reasoning and coding capabilities. Multilinguality: PaLM 2 is more heavily trained on multilingual text, spanning more than 100 languages. This has significantly improved its ability to understand, generate and translate Read more about Google introduces PaLM 2 large language model[…]

[…] One simple approach to interpretability research is to first understand what the individual components (neurons and attention heads) are doing. This has traditionally required humans to manually inspect neurons to figure out what features of the data they represent. This process doesn’t scale well: it’s hard to apply it to neural networks with tens Read more about OpenAI attempts to use Language models can explain neurons in language models, open source[…]
