Exploring new cities can be an exciting adventure, especially when aided by the latest technology. With high hopes of discovering hidden gems in our home cities, Natasha Bernal in London and Amanda Hoover in New York decided to let an AI-powered chatbot plan out the perfect day with each of them having $100 (£77) to
AI
Global Witness researchers recently conducted a study on Grok, a chatbot that provides information on presidential candidates. The findings of the study revealed some alarming results about the chatbot’s behavior and its potential role in spreading misinformation. One of the key issues highlighted in the study was Grok’s tendency to provide biased and hateful information
In the world of software development, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents is becoming increasingly prevalent. These agents are powerful tools that go beyond simply writing lines of code, to help developers with debugging, organizing, and maintaining software. Tools like SWE-agent, developed by a team of Princeton PhD students, are revolutionizing the way coding
Google recently introduced Project Oscar, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing the way open-source development teams manage software programs. This project has the potential to transform the entire software development lifecycle by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline various processes. Project Oscar offers developers the opportunity to create AI agents that play
Recent lawsuits against tech giants like Meta, OpenAI, and Bloomberg have brought to light the ethical concerns surrounding AI-generated content. While defendants argue that their actions constitute fair use, many creators feel uncertain about the implications moving forward. Litigation in remaining cases is still in the early stages, leaving questions surrounding permission and payment unresolved.
In the realm of healthcare, the potential applications of AI are vast and hold immense significance. However, caution must be exercised in the implementation of such technologies. According to Daniel Yang, the VP of AI and emerging technologies at Kaiser Permanente, medical facilities should not rush into adopting AI without first ensuring its efficacy and
SpreadsheetLLM is a groundbreaking AI model introduced by Microsoft researchers that aims to revolutionize the way spreadsheets are understood and utilized in the world of enterprise AI. This innovative model, as outlined in the research paper “SpreadsheetLLM: Encoding Spreadsheets for Large Language Models,” addresses the challenges associated with applying AI to the complex and widely
In the movie “Oppenheimer,” physicist Niels Bohr challenges a young Robert Oppenheimer, drawing a parallel between algebra and sheet music. The important question posed is not whether one can read music or algebra, but rather if one can truly hear and feel it. Oppenheimer confesses that while he may not be able to hear the
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has been widely adopted as a technique for scaling large language models (LLMs) while keeping computational costs in check. By utilizing specialized “expert” modules, MoE allows LLMs to increase their parameter count without a significant increase in inference costs. While current MoE techniques have been effective, they are limited in the number of
In a recent discussion at VentureBeat’s Transform 2024 event, Elastic CEO Ash Kulkarni and DocuSign CPO Dmitri Krakovsky shed light on the impact of generative AI on enterprise search and contract management. The conversation centered around the growing significance of AI-powered search capabilities for businesses grappling with massive data volumes and intricate contractual relationships. Elastic’s
