Google’s DeepMind has developed a new benchmarking system called Gecko that evaluates artificial intelligence (AI) text to image (T2I) models. In the past, other AI models like DALL-E and Midjourney have improved with every release, yet determining which one performs best has often been a subjective process, since different models may excel in different areas.…
A new AI chatbot called gpt2-chatbot has recently appeared in the AI community, piquing interest and speculation due to its advanced capabilities and mysterious origins. You can find and interact with this chatbot on the LMSys Chatbot Arena, where users are saying it's more advanced than current models like the GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus.…
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has established an Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board, according to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The board's inception is in response to President Biden's Executive Order for a “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.” The board's role is to create recommendations on how stakeholders of…
The Financial Times (FT) has granted OpenAI access to its news archives as part of a data sharing agreement, indicative of a growing trend among AI companies to secure private data sources. In this deal, OpenAI’s language model, ChatGPT, will provide summaries, direct quotes, and links to full FT articles, directing back to the original…
The Global AI Safety Summit held at the UK's Bletchley Park last year sparked considerable interest, with over 25 government representatives pledging to a joint declaration for collaborative AI oversight. However, expectations are realistic for the upcoming follow-up summit, scheduled for May 21-22, to be co-hosted virtually by the UK and South Korea. Significant players,…
Zepotha is a rare, cult-classic horror film that recently resurfaced as a trending topic on the social media platform TikTok. Few have had the chance to view the movie, and it seems that present-day interest has marked the potential revival of the classic.
The creators of Zepotha, The Danzic Brothers, famously feuded to the extent…
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found that AI agents utilizing GPT-4, a powerful language learning model (LLM), can effectively exploit documented cybersecurity vulnerabilities. These types of AI agents are increasingly playing a role in cybercrime.
In particular, the researchers studied the aptitude of such AI agents to exploit "one-day" vulnerabilities, which are identified…
Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) agents powered by GPT-4 are capable of autonomously exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities. As AI models continue to progress, their dual functionalities can both be useful and potentially dangerous. For example, Google expects AI to be heavily involved in both committing and preventing…
