Generative AI Unlocking Floodgates to Solve Data Scarcity

The concept of synthetic data is almost too good to be true – it can mimic the distinctive properties of a dataset while dodging a number of issues that afflict data. There are zero data privacy concerns around synthetic data since it is artificially generated and isn’t related to real-world persons. It can be manufactured on demand and in the volumes required. In other words, synthetic data is a boon in a world eternally thirsty for data.

And the hectic space of generative AI is offering a helping hand in the easy generation of synthetic data.

The concept of synthetic data has been around for decades until the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry started using it commercially in the mid-2010s. But for how important an issue it resolves, creating synthetic data brings a myriad of complications along with it.

Microsoft’s new AI chatbot gets date wrong, accuses user of being stubborn

I have to admit, it’s very human like. It makes we wonder if the incident if fabricated, but it may also be true.

The concept of a conversational chatbot shot to fame with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which can provide paraphrased answers for users’ detailed queries and write poetry or code with equal ease. Microsoft, which has provided financial support for OpenAI’s work, has incorporated the chatbot into its Bing search engine, providing users with a new way to search for information. The service’s rollout is still slow, with few users getting access. However, their experience has been interesting.

Collective intelligence of cell swarms | Prof. Michael Levin | AI Forward Forum

Professor of Biology at Tufts University Michael Levin shows the remarkable plasticity of somatic (non-neural) cells and the way they communicate through bioelectric signalling to produce different morphologies. He argues that cellular control of growth and form is a type of collective intelligence.

Prof. Levin also shows that by manipulating bioelectric signalling between cells it is possible to change what the cells are going to build. The particular examples include converting one type of tadpole tissue into another, making planaria (a type of flatworm) to regrow two heads, etc. Prof. Levin’s and his team work has profound theoretical contributions towards understanding better biological intelligence, and from the practical side, it may lead to applications in biomedicine (solving birth defects, curing degenerative disease and cancer).

GitHub Copilot gets AI-based vulnerability filtering system, better code suggestions in new update

To further promote Copilot, GitHub is giving it an update, which will bring a set of new capabilities. According to GitHub, this update will benefit both users in the Copilot for Individuals and Copilot for Business plans.

Copilot is an AI-based coding tool that offers autocomplete-style suggestions while the users code. It complements Visual Studio, Neovim, and JetBrains integrated development environments, making code writing easier and faster for developers. In December, GitHub announced its ‘Copilot for Business,’ which costs $19 per user monthly. Aside from the features in the single-license Copilot tier, the business plan includes license management and organization-wide policy management capabilities. This collection of capabilities is now getting an expansion with a new update GitHub is pushing for Copilot for Individuals and Copilot for Business plans.

First of these improvements are the corporate proxy support (including those with self-signed certificates) specifically for Copilot for Business and the better quality of code suggestions in the entire Copilot tool. According to GitHub, the latter is made possible through the upgraded AI Codex model, the new Fill-In-the-Middle paradigm, and a lightweight client-side model.

The #BenZion #Futurism #Podcast is back!

So please for Tech news and views from the perspective of building a humane and sustainable economic system, check them all out!
And share them with your friends!

_________________________
Episode 24 discusses:
Ben Zion and Dr. Hale discuss the two most exceptional 21st century projects (beyond those to do with building a humane and sustainable economic system, which should have rightly been achieved in the 20th century) namely Universal Superlongevity and Human-Centered-Artificial-Superintelligence, and the noble work of Ageless Partners in the life extension arena.(continued in ep. 25)

Prof. Ian Hale, the autism author and broadcaster, is a member of the World Academy of Medical Science and Director of Research for Ageless Partners’ radical new rejuvenation project.

He’s an associate of both the Moscow Institute of Science & Technology & the Russian Academy of Science.

I have started uploading them primarily to YouTube, this is a sneak preview, and it will be uploaded there next week–

Jasper targets enterprise to expand generative AI beyond generic AI

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

Generative AI has been all the rage in the recent months, but it is typically generic and not specifically focused on the specific needs of any one company.

San Francisco based startup Jasper is aiming to help make generative AI less generic. The company made a series of announcements today at its Gen AI conference.
