Latest from MIT Tech Review – How judges, not politicians, could dictate America’s AI rules

It’s becoming increasingly clear that courts, not politicians, will be the first to determine the limits on how AI is developed and used in the US. Last week, the Federal Trade Commission opened an investigation into whether OpenAI violated consumer protection laws by scraping people’s online data to train its popular AI chatbot ChatGPT. Meanwhile,…

UC Berkeley – Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning

Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning replay Diffusion models have recently emerged as the de facto standard for generating complex, high-dimensional outputs. You may know them for their ability to produce stunning AI art and hyper-realistic synthetic images, but they have also found success in other applications such as drug design and continuous control. The key…

Latest from MIT : Study finds ChatGPT boosts worker productivity for some writing tasks

Amid a huge amount of hype around generative AI, a new study from researchers at MIT sheds light on the technology’s impact on work, finding that it increased productivity for workers assigned tasks like writing cover letters, delicate emails, and cost-benefit analyses. The tasks in the study weren’t quite replicas of real work: They didn’t…

Latest from MIT Tech Review – Mustafa Suleyman: My new Turing test would see if AI can make $1 million

AI systems are increasingly everywhere and are becoming more powerful almost by the day. But even as they become ever more ubiquitous and do more, how can we know if a machine is truly “intelligent”? For decades the Turing test defined this question. First proposed in 1950 by the computer scientist Alan Turing, it tried…

Latest from Google AI – Symbol tuning improves in-context learning in language models

Posted by Jerry Wei, Student Researcher, and Denny Zhou, Principal Scientist, Google Research A key feature of human intelligence is that humans can learn to perform new tasks by reasoning using only a few examples. Scaling up language models has unlocked a range of new applications and paradigms in machine learning, including the ability to…

Latest from MIT : How an “AI-tocracy” emerges

Many scholars, analysts, and other observers have suggested that resistance to innovation is an Achilles’ heel of authoritarian regimes. Such governments can fail to keep up with technological changes that help their opponents; they may also, by stifling rights, inhibit innovative economic activity and weaken the long-term condition of the country. But a new study…
