Generative AI, recognized mainly for its ability in creating text and images, is now used by companies to create synthetic data for various scenarios aiding in patient treatment, plane rerouting, and software improvements especially in situations that lack real-world data or require sensitive data. DataCebo, an MIT spinoff, has invented a generative software system called…
A multimedia artist, Jackson 2bears, has created "Ne:Kahwistará:ken Kanónhsa'kówa í:se Onkwehonwe," a vivid virtual retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story. The project, which was inspired by the traditional Haudenosaunee structure, the longhouse, was a collaborative effort designed to keep indigenous teachings and stories alive, central to which was the importance of communal experiences. The installation…
A new technique has been proposed by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other institutions that allows large language models (LLMs) to solve tasks involving natural language, math and data analysis, and symbolic reasoning by generating programs. Known as natural language embedded programs (NLEPs), the approach enables a language model to create…
For SAP partners, Marketing Development Funds (MDF) represent a significant asset that can drive business growth, expansion and enhance brand alignment. MDF funds, allocated by SAP to its partners, provide a valuable opportunity to invest in marketing strategies that promote SAP solutions, generate demand and boost revenue growth. Presenting an effective use of MDF funds…
Australian police are investigating the dissemination of AI-generated pornographic images featuring around 50 schoolgirls, reportedly created by a teenage boy. The mother of a 16-year-old girl targeted in this appalling case spoke to ABC about her daughter's distress after seeing the explicit images. The school involved, Bacchus Marsh Grammar, has pledged a strong commitment to…
A joint study by experts from Colorado State University (CSU), Save the Elephants, and ElephantVoices has discovered that African elephants have a complex system of vocal communication that is unique among animals. Using AI and machine-learning techniques, the researchers analyzed around 470 different elephant calls recorded over four years in Kenya and deduced that elephants…
Artificial intelligence (AI) alignment strategies, such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) combined with supervised fine-tuning (SFT), are essential for the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs). They work to modify these AI models to reduce the chance of hazardous interactions. However, recent research has uncovered significant weaknesses in…
