An innovative method enables AI chatbots to engage in conversations all day without experiencing errors or shutdowns.

A team of researchers from MIT, Meta AI, Carnegie Mellon University, and NVIDIA, have found a solution to the problem of the performance degradation of AI chatbots during extended human-AI conversations. They identified a challenge associated with AI conversation memory, known as the key-value cache, where data is bumped out when the cache exceeds its…

Improving the dependability of language models by leveraging concepts from game theory.

Researchers from MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have designed a new type of game to enhance how artificial intelligence (AI) comprehends and produces text. This "consensus game" includes two parts of an AI system - the part that generates sentences and a part that evaluates those sentences. This model significantly improved the…
