Leon Frey, a foraging guide and field mycologist at Cornwall-based Family Foraging Kitchen, which organises foraging field trips, said the samples he had seen contained serious flaws such as referring to “smell and taste” as an identifying feature. “This seems to encourage tasting as a method of identification. This should...
Aplikacja nowozelandzkiej sieci supermarketów miała pomagać klientom tworzyć plany posiłków. Gdy konsumenci zaczęli z nią eksperymentować, okazało się, że sztuczna inteligencja podsuwa im przepisy na "trujące kanapki", pieczone ziemniaki ze sprayem na komary i napój na bazie chloru. Sprawę opisuje portal dziennika...
OpenAI announced the launch of its AI Classifier claiming it could distinguish between text written by a human and an AI. Even then, however, OpenAI called the classifier "not fully reliable," adding that the evaluations on a “challenge set” of English texts correctly identified 26% of AI-written text as “likely...
A trio of influential artificial intelligence leaders testified at a congressional hearing Tuesday, warning that the frantic pace of AI development could lead to serious harms within the next few years, such as rogue states or terrorists using the tech to create bioweapons.
I'm fairly certain that I was not the only person in the world who thought to himself, "Did they just yoink the entire Internet and bundle it together into a glorified copy and paste machine?" upon the release of ChatGPT.
Training data can be used "regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise."
On Monday, an activist named Sharon Maxwell posted on Instagram, sharing a review of her experience with Tessa. She said that Tessa encouraged intentional weight loss, recommending that Maxwell lose 1-2 pounds per week. Tessa also told her to count her calories, work towards a 500-1000 calorie deficit per day, measure and weigh...
When Avianca asked a Manhattan federal judge to toss out the case, Mr. Mata’s lawyers vehemently objected, submitting a 10-page brief that cited more than half a dozen relevant court decisions. There was Martinez v. Delta Air Lines, Zicherman v. Korean Air Lines and, of course, Varghese v. China Southern Airlines, with its...
In a series of votes in the European Parliament this morning MEPs have backed a raft of amendments to the bloc's draft AI legislation -- including agreeing a set of requirements for so called foundational models which underpin generative AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
The concern is that machine-generated content has to be balanced with a lot of human review and would overwhelm lesser-known wikis with bad content. While AI generators are useful for writing believable, human-like text, they are also prone to including erroneous information, and even citing sources and academic papers which...
A good mantra is that fears about technology are almost always fears about capitalism. This is no exception. It isn't “AI” that has worked to eliminate writers' rooms and it isn't “streaming” that's shifted the revenue shared with writers and other artists to pennies on the dollar. It's companies that have done that,...
In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources...
If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more...
Over the course of the spring semester, Hahn noticed a pattern of these false positives. Turnitin’s tool was much more likely to flag international students’ writing as AI-generated. As Hahn started to see this trend, a group of Stanford computer scientists designed an experiment to better understand the reliability of AI...
“Frankly, we have more important things to do than spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to protect kids from books,” Exman tells PopSci via email. “At the same time, we do have a legal and ethical obligation to comply with the law. Our goal here really is a defensible process.”
If you feed America's most important legal document—the US Constitution—into a tool designed to detect text written by AI models like ChatGPT, it will tell you that the document was almost certainly written by AI. But unless James Madison was a time traveler, that can't be the case. Why do AI writing detection tools give...
An update to Google's privacy policy suggests that the entire public internet is fair game for it's AI projects. If Google can read your words, assume they belong to the company now, and expect that they’re nesting somewhere in the bowels of a chatbot.
Po wstępnym zachłyśnięciu się możliwościami ChatGPT i wielkich modeli językowych (LLM, z ang. "Large Language Models"), przyszedł chyba czas na refleksję. O zagrożeniach i problemach z nimi związanych mówi się coraz głośniej. Nie powstrzymuje to (na razie) wielkich firm technologicznych przed integrowaniem tych...
Czasy się zmieniają, ale naturalne zachowanie ludzi pozostaje niezmienne. Gdy pojawia się kolejny głośny medialny powód i zainteresowanie nim jest największe, a ludzie wiedzą o nim najmniej, to wtedy pojawia się największa ilość dezinformacji…
Prompt injection remains an unsolved problem. The best we can do at the moment, disappointingly, is to raise awareness of the issue. As I pointed out last week, “if you don’t understand it, you are doomed to implement it.”
[…] we trained the machines. All of us. But we never gave our consent. They fed on humanity’s collective ingenuity, inspiration and revelations (along with our more venal traits). These models are enclosure and appropriation machines, devouring and privatizing our individual lives as well as our collective intellectual and...
