OpenAI fears people will forms bonds with the AI it developed to fool humans

August 11, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The warning shows that developers are aware that anthropomorphization is a legitimate concern in the AI industry.

When a safety tester working with OpenAI’s GPT-4o sent a message to the chatbot stating “this is our last day together,” it became clear to company researchers that some form of bonding had happened between the AI and the human using it.

In a blog post detailing the company’s safety efforts in developing GPT-4o, the flagship model for ChatGPT users, the company explained that these bonds could pose risks to humanity.

Quantum computers are advancing much faster than scientists expected

Breakthroughs in scalability, error-correction, and infrastructure have led to an accelerated timeline for quantum advantage.

Quantum computing is one of those “just around the corner” technologies that has the scientific community split. Tech outfits such as Google and IBM have gone full throttle with both R&D and marketing as if they’re already here while many independent researchers have claimed quantum computers will never work.

Most people working in the field, however, believe that quantum computers will be able to solve problems that classical computers can’t within the next 10 years.

This is according to a recent survey of 927 people with associations to the field of quantum computing (researchers, executives, press, enthusiasts, etc.) conducted by QuEra. Of those surveyed, 74.9% “expect quantum to be a superior alternative to classical computing for certain workloads” within the next 10 years.

JP Morgan just rolled out ChatGPT to 60,000 employees, demonstrating the demand for generative AI in the financial services sector.

IBM recently launched a new “Lightweight Engine” for its WatsonX.ai service. While it’s primarily aimed at “enterprise,” it could serve as an on-ramp to secure, in-house generative AI deployment for smaller businesses looking to scale or mid-sized companies in burgeoning industries such as fintech.

The generative AI market is, inarguably, the primary catalyst behind the tech sector’s revenue growth in the first half of 2024. Just ten years prior, few could have predicted the sheer size and scope of a sector largely driven by the explosive popularity of large language models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.

Prior to the launch of ChatGPT, experts in the AI and finance communities widely noted that large language models such as GPT-3 simply weren’t reliable or accurate enough for use in the world of finance or anywhere else where there’s no margin for error.

Apple used Google’s chips to train its AI — where does that leave Nvidia?

August 10, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Apple

Nvidia’s shrinking market cap could signal a shift in the generative AI developer’s market.

Apple had the same choices as any other technology company with money to burn when it came to training its artificial intelligence models. It could have used its own chips, conducted training via cloud infrastructure, or gone the popular route and just bought billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia chips. Instead, it made a deal with the company that owns Google.

Apple has been accused of being late to the artificial intelligence party. While its peers were busy pivoting to generative AI and pouring billions of dollars into training chips and cloud services, Apple’s public-facing image focused on iPhone sales and “spatial computing.”

This led analysts and pundits to worry over whether the house that Steve Jobs built was falling behind its closest competitors. Then, in June of 2024, the market itself seemed to confirm those fears when Nvidia passed up Google, Apple, and Microsoft to become the most valuable company in the world.

DOJ recommends harsher sentences AI-enhanced crimes

August 7, 2024 Coin Telegraph

artificial intelligence

Using AI to plan, commit, or help cover up a plan could lead to harsher sentencing in the US soon.

The United States Department Justice (DOJ) has asked the United States Sentencing Commission to update its guidelines to provide additional penalties for crimes committed with the aid of artificial intelligence.

According to a legal alert published by the law offices of White & Case, the recommendations seek to expand well beyond established guidelines and would apply not only to crimes committed with AI, but to any crime aided or abetted by even simple algorithms.

Current guidelines, per the legal alert, only cover so-called “sophisticated” systems. Ostensibly, the new guidelines would make AI involved in criminal activity an accessory, with the legal system punishing the person responsible for its application to criminal activity.

OpenAI has a ‘highly accurate’ tool to detect AI content, but no release plans

August 4, 2024 Coin Telegraph

artificial intelligence

The company expressed worries that its detection system could somehow “stigmatize” the use of AI among non-English speakers.

OpenAI appears to be holding back a new “highly accurate” tool capable of detecting content generated by ChatGPT over concerns that it could be tampered with or cause non-English users to avoid generating text with artificial intelligence models.

The company mentioned it was working on various methods to detect content generated specifically by its products in a blog post back in May. On Aug. 4, the Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report indicating that plans to release the tools had stalled over internal debates concerning the ramifications of their release.

In the wake of the WSJ’s report, OpenAI updated its May blog post with new information concerning the detection tools. The long and short of it is that there’s still no timetable for release, despite the company’s admonition that at least one tool for determining text provenance is “highly accurate and even effective against localized tampering.”

Musk says Neuralink will ‘give people superpowers’ as 2nd human gets implant

August 4, 2024 Coin Telegraph

artificial intelligence

The brain-computer interface has already changed lives, but it’s unclear how it will give people eagle vision or make their neurons fire more quickly.

Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, Neuralink, has evidently begun its second human trial. The news came during an episode of the Lex Fridman podcast wherein Musk unceremoniously revealed that the second human trial was successful, “so far so good.”

Musk went on to say that the second implant was functioning properly with about 400 electrodes “providing signals.”

Brain-computer interfaces are electronic devices that allow humans to communicate with computers using their thoughts. While it might sound like science fiction, BCIs have been around for decades.

After briefly breaking the $3 trillion market capitalization mark in June, things have taken a negative turn for the world’s most valuable chipmaker.

Nvidia’s highly anticipated “Blackwell” B-200 artificial intelligence chip will reportedly be delayed, sending the near-term future of the entire AI industry into a state of uncertainty.

Tech news outlet The Information claims that a Microsoft employee and at least two other people familiar with the situation have stated that the new chip’s launch date has been pushed back by at least three months due to a design flaw.

While Nvidia hadn’t given a public launch date, CEO Jensen Huang recently announced that the company would begin sending engineering samples “this week” on July 31 at the SIGGRAPH event in Denver, Colorado.

Early previews of the tech were remarkable, but fears remain over its potential misuse.

After several delays reportedly related to safety and fine-tuning, OpenAI’s much anticipated “Advanced Voice Mode” (AVM) for ChatGPT is now available in alpha to select users.

The AVM feature was announced and demonstrated back in May. It allows users to have a real time conversation with the ChatGPT artificial intelligence model via a tech-to-speech synthesization module.

Those familiar with the concept may remember Google’s 2018 announcement that its “Duplex” AI service would be available “soon.” At its IO developer’s event, the company showed off an AI system capable of calling businesses on your behalf to schedule appointments in real time with humans.
