A group of US lawmakers, alarmed by the lack of oversight and accountability, have raised concerns about the use of federal grants to purchase AI-based “policing” tools known to be inaccurate and prone to exacerbating biases within
OpenAI, a prominent artificial intelligence research organization, was once known for its commitment to transparency. It openly shared detailed information about its AI inventions and made its research freely available to the public. However, recent developments indicate a significant decline in openness at OpenAI, raising concerns among stakeholders and the broader AI community. Recently, Wired
The field of open source language models is rapidly evolving, challenging market-leading models like GPT-4. While the best open source models have largely come from outside the US, a US-based company called 01.AI is positioning itself to benefit from emerging innovations in the field. This article delves into the implications of open source AI models
In the not-so-distant past, the University of Cambridge Social Decision-Making Laboratory embarked on a unique and thought-provoking research project. They set out to investigate the potential for neural networks to generate misinformation, ultimately leading to the creation of ChatGPT’s predecessor, GPT-2. By training this model on a plethora of popular conspiracy theories, the researchers were
