This week's artificial intelligence (AI) news includes an incident in which OpenAI's conversational AI program, GPT-4o, offended actress Scarlett Johansson by replicating her voice in its Sky feature. Johansson was shocked by the likeness, while OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, insisted that it was a coincidence.
In an unexpected development, the Sony Music Group warned 700 companies,…
Large language models (LLMs) play a crucial role in a range of applications, however, their significant memory consumption, particularly the key-value (KV) cache, makes them challenging to deploy efficiently. Researchers from the ShanghaiTech University and Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Intelligent Vision and Imaging offered an efficient method to decrease memory consumption in the KV…
The increasing sophistication of artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and LLaMA2-70B has sparked interest in their potential to display a theory of mind. Researchers from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, the Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa, and the University of Trento are studying these models to assess their capabilities against human…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming many areas of modern life, significantly advancing fields such as technology, healthcare, and finance. Within the AI landscape, there has been significant interest and progress regarding Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). They represent key facilitators of major changes in the AI area, enabling advanced decision-making processes…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a critical field that allows computers to comprehend, interpret, and generate human language. This translates to tasks such as language translation, sentiment analysis, and text generation, creating systems that can interact effectively with humans through language. However, carrying out these tasks demands complex models able to cope with aspects of…
Natural language processing (NLP) refers to a field of computer science concerned with enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. Tasks encompassed in this area include language translation, sentiment analysis, and text generation. The primary objective is creating systems capable of interacting with humans using language fluently. However, achieving this requires developing complex…
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a method to prevent chatbot performance from deteriorating during prolonged human-AI interactions. The method, called StreamingLLM, is based on a slight modification to the crucial key-value cache (KV Cache) that is central to large language models employed by many AI-driven platforms. The KV Cache, similar to a…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and partner organizations have developed a solution to address a key issue limiting the effectiveness of AI chatbots. Large language machine-learning models, such as ChatGPT, often crash or slow down during extended rounds of dialogue with humans. The study identified the cause of this problem as the…
A group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a revolutionary anti-tampering ID tag. Notably smaller and significantly less expensive than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, this evolution could revolutionize the way technology authenticates the legitimacy of a product. But how does it secure itself from the common issue of…
A team of MIT researchers has created a cryptographic ID tag that boasts several advantages over existing technologies - spurring hope it will revolutionize supply chain verification. The tag is several times smaller, much cheaper, and offers better security than the radio frequency identification (RFID) tags currently used for product verification. The new tag uses…
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a system using tissue models and machine-learning algorithms to identify how different drugs navigate through the lining of the digestive tract, which could have significant implications for the world of medicine.
Orally-taken drugs often rely on transporter proteins within the digestive tract's cells to…
