Who Is Going to Regulate AI?

Summary.

As businesses and governments race to make sense of the impacts of new, powerful AI systems, governments around the world are jostling to take the lead on regulation. Business leaders should be focused on who is likely to win this race, moreso than the questions of how or even when AI will be regulated. Whether Congress, the European Commission, China, or even U.S. states or courts take the lead will determine both the speed and trajectory of AI’s transformation of the global economy, potentially protecting some industries or limiting the ability of all companies to use the technology to interact directly with consumers.

As the world reckons with the impact of powerful new AI systems, governments are jostling to lead the regulatory charge — and shape how this technology will grow.

How do you solve a problem like out-of-control AI?

Plus: The open-source AI boom is built on Big Tech’s handouts. How long will it last?

Last week Google revealed it is going all in on generative AI. At its annual I/O conference, the company announced it plans to embed AI tools into virtually all of its products, from Google Docs to coding and online search. (Read my story here.)

Google’s announcement is a huge deal. Billions of people will now get access to powerful, cutting-edge AI models to help them do all sorts of tasks, from generating text to answering queries to writing and debugging code. As MIT Technology Review’s editor in chief, Mat Honan, writes in his analysis of I/O, it is clear AI is now Google’s core product.

Chatbot Arena helps you find the best open-source chatbot

Until now, there has been no easy way to compare the quality of open-source models. An e-sports-inspired system could help.

The Large Model System Organization (LMSYS), which is behind the open-source model Vicuna, has launched the benchmark platform “Chatbot Arena” to compare the performance of large language models. Different models compete against each other in anonymous, randomly selected duels. Users then rate the performance of the models by voting for their preferred answer.

AI writes Snyder’s Justice League Sequel, Complete with AI Art

Combining Chat GPT and AI generated art to create a Zack Snyder Justice League sequel. We take what we know from interviews with Zack where he talks about where the story would go and which characters are in it. Then throw that info into chat GPT and see what the AI can come up with. Its actually a pretty good start to what could be a sequel if it had more info and color added to the story.

*disclaimer: I know AI art sometimes draws the characters a bit different, and the AI story can seem a little rushed at times, but its a good start and maybe in a few years AI will be able to make an infinite amount of high quality content for us to consume.

Fear the fire or harness the flame: The future of generative AI

Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11–12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. Learn More

Generative AI has taken the world by storm. So much so that in the last several months, the technology has twice been a major feature on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” The rise of startling conversant chatbots such as ChatGPT has even prompted warnings of runaway technology from some luminary artificial intelligence (AI) experts. While the current state of generative AI is clearly impressive — perhaps dazzling would be a better adjective — it might be even further advanced than is generally understood.

This week, The New York Times reported that some researchers in the tech industry believe these systems have moved toward something that cannot be explained as a “stochastic parrot” — a system that simply mimics its underlying dataset. Instead, they are seeing “An AI system that is coming up with humanlike answers and ideas that weren’t programmed into it.” This observation comes from Microsoft and is based on responses to their prompts from OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

G7 calls for adoption of international technical standards for AI

TOKYO, May 20 (Reuters) — Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) nations on Saturday called for the development and adoption of international technical standards for trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) as lawmakers of the rich countries focus on the new technology.

While the G7 leaders, meeting in Hiroshima, Japan, recognised that the approaches to achieving “the common vision and goal of trustworthy AI may vary”, they said in a statement that “the governance of the digital economy should continue to be updated in line with our shared democratic values”.

The agreement came after European Union, which is represented at the G7, inched closer this month to passing legislation to regulate AI technology, potentially the world’s first comprehensive AI law.

AI technology may help to immortalize his performaces, says Tom Hanks

In a conversation during an episode of the Adam Buxton podcast, the veteran performer recently voiced his opinion regarding the likelihood of actors being kept alive in movies through the power of advanced technologies.

Known for his iconic roles in numerous blockbuster films like Forest Gump and Cast Away, the actor said that such technologies can be leveraged to recreate his image, voice, and mannerisms, from “now until kingdom come,” said Tom in the podcast.
