On Thursday morning, news broke that someone was going around selling student data from the University of Michigan to tech workers that build AI chatbot tech. An employee at Google DeepMind, the company’s AI research hub, said they’d gotten an offer for recordings of lectures, student discussions, and office hours, as well as essays written by seniors and grad students all available for a paltry licensing fee. Now, the University says it was all a misunderstanding, that students gave their consent, and there’s nothing to…

Over the last few years, the developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have been rapid. Consequently, we've witnessed the adoption of this technology by the world's biggest tech companies including legacy organizations such as Adobe, Meta and Microsoft. Various applications of AI have emerged, from making driving easier via ADAS to AI chatbots that can create content out of thin air, its uses are many. Now, Google DeepMind researchers are making use of AI to assist in one more field - medical science. With their…

A pair of scientists at Google DeepMind, the Alphabet Inc. artificial intelligence division, have been talking with investors about forming an AI startup in Paris, according to people familiar with the conversations. The team has held discussions with potential investors about a financing round that may exceed €200 million ($220 million) — a large sum, even for the buzzy field of AI, the people said. Laurent Sifre, who has been working as a scientist at DeepMind, is in talks to form the company, known at the moment as…

Welcome to AI This Week, Gizmodo’s weekly deep dive on what’s been happening in artificial intelligence.Why is Everyone Suing AI Companies? | Future TechFor months, I’ve been harping on a particular point, which is that artificial intelligence tools—as they’re currently being deployed—are mostly good at one thing: Replacing human employees. The “AI revolution” has mostly been a corporate one, an insurrection against the rank-and-file that leverages new technologies to reduce a company’s overall headcount. The biggest…

On Thursday, Google announced a new “Robot Constitution” that will govern the AI that runs its upcoming army of intelligent machines. Based on Isaac Asimov’s “Three Laws of Robotics,” these safety instructions are meant to steer the devices’ decision-making process. First among them: “A robot may not injure a human being.”No Google AI Search, I Don’t Need to Learn About the “Benefits of Slavery” The Robot Constitution comes from Google DeepMind, the tech giant’s main AI research wing. “Before robots can be integrated…

Deepfakes have emerged as a major talking point this year as a malicious side-effect of artificial intelligence (AI). Many bad actors have used the current boom in this space to use AI editing tools to create fake images of people and institutions. Multiple reports have emerged of criminals creating fake nudes of people and then threatening them to post these photos online if the victim did not pay them money. But now, a group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have come up with a tool that…

Tech giants, including Google (Google DeepMind) and Facebook parent Meta offer AI tools that enable users to create music using text prompts. Microsoft is also joining the party with a partnership with Suno, a start-up in AI-based music creation. Copilot users will now be able to create music and songs “from a single sentence.”“Through this partnership, people will have at their fingertips the ability, regardless of musical background, to create fun, clever, and personalised songs with a simple prompt,” the company said,…

Large Language Models (LLMs), the technology that powers AI chatbots, have shown capabilities in solving complex tasks. However, they sometimes suffer from hallucinations, a phenomena where the results returned are plausible but factually incorrect -- limiting their wider use in various industries. Google DeepMind, the company's AI research arm has now announced a new model which is aimed at reducing hallucinations and reply with answers that "surpass the best known results in important problems."Called FunSearch, this…
