The UK’s new artificial intelligence safety body has found that the technology can deceive human users, produce biased outcomes and has inadequate safeguards against giving out harmful information.The AI Safety Institute published initial findings from its research into advanced AI systems known as large language models (LLMs), which underpin tools such as chatbots and image generators, and found a number of concerns.The institute said it was able to bypass safeguards for LLMs, which power chatbots such as ChatGPT, using…

The UK should concentrate on setting global standards for artificial intelligence testing instead of trying to carry out all the vetting itself, according to a company assisting the government’s AI Safety Institute.Marc Warner, the chief executive of Faculty AI, said the newly established institute could end up “on the hook” for scrutinising an array of AI models – the technology that underpins chatbots like ChatGPT – owing to the government’s world-leading work in AI safety.Rishi Sunak announced the formation of the AI…

By Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University February 10, 2024Recent research reveals that clown anemonefish demonstrate cognitive abilities previously unrecognized, such as distinguishing species by counting the white bars on other anemonefish. Through experiments, it was found that these fish show varying levels of aggression based on the number of bars, suggesting a more complex social structure and cognitive capacity than previously understood. New research suggests that the fish may be…

The Indian economy is poised for better prospects in the coming years as it leverages technologies like artificial intelligence and becomes a beacon for the world amid a tough geopolitical scenario, a panel consisting of Bill Winters, chief executive officer, Standard Chartered Bank, Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant, Jenny Johnson, president and CEO, Franklin Templeton and Rizwan Sajan, founder and chairman of Danube Group said Friday.Speaking at a panel discussion on ‘Fissures, Faultlines and Future – In Search of an…

India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has been solving local problems and hence will not lose from the entry into the era of generative artificial intelligence (AI), said Michael Spence, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics, 2001.Spence, who is a professor and dean emeritus at Stanford University, said at the summit on Saturday that Western economies are unlikely to gain more from the transition to generative AI than developing nations.Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill CoursesOffering CollegeCourseWebsiteMITMIT…

Representatives from Big Tech companies say a Liberal government bill that would begin regulating some artificial intelligence systems is too vague.Amazon and Microsoft executives told MPs at a House of Commons industry committee meeting Wednesday that Bill C-27 doesn't differentiate enough between high- and low-risk AI systems.The companies said abiding by the law as written would be costly.Nicole Foster, director of global artificial intelligence and Canada public policy for Amazon, said using the same approach for all…

Machine learning significantly advances neural prostheses by optimizing image downsampling, closely replicating natural retinal responses, and opening new avenues for sensory encoding in prosthetics. Credit: SciTechDaily.comEPFL researchers have developed a machine learning approach to compressing image data with greater accuracy than learning-free computation methods, with applications for retinal implants and other sensory prostheses.A major challenge to developing better neural prostheses is sensory encoding:…

The dynamics of programming have undergone an immense transformation from the primary first algorithms of mechanical computing to complicated AI slopes, which are the features of the digital generation.  Thus, this shift from algorithms to AI is important in our application of technology to address complex problems as well as our vision of future software development. The development is based on the appearance of Generative Intelligence as an AI field that will redefine the nature of coding and open new opportunities for…

Investigating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of work, Hilke Schellmann thought she had better try some of the tools. Among them was a one-way video interview system intended to aid recruitment called myInterview. She got a login from the company and began to experiment – first picking the questions she, as the hiring manager, would ask and then video recording her answers as a candidate before the proprietary software analysed the words she used and the intonation of her voice to score how well she…

Last week, the Ingenuity Mars helicopter made its final flight, far exceeding the expectations of a mission that began nearly three years ago. Now, NASA may be looking at a fixed-wing aircraft to hit the red planet's skies next.In 2021 the Perseverance rover landed on Mars carrying a small helicopter under its belly named Ingenuity. The twin rotor craft was a demonstrator to test if a vehicle could fly in the thin Martian air, which is only about one per cent as dense as our atmosphere on Earth.It became the first…
