While this is an incredibly ambitious goal and we’re not guaranteed to succeed, we are optimistic that a focused, concerted effort can solve this problem: ^{indent-0 not-italic [em_&]:indent-2] [^problem]} There are many ideas that have shown promise in preliminary experiments, we have increasingly useful metrics for progress, and we can use today’s models to study many of these problems empirically.

Ilya Sutskever (cofounder and Chief Scientist of OpenAI) has made this his core research focus, and will be co-leading the team with Jan Leike (Head of Alignment). Joining the team are researchers and engineers from our previous alignment team, as well as researchers from other teams across the company.

We’re also looking for outstanding new researchers and engineers to join this effort. Superintelligence alignment is fundamentally a machine learning problem, and we think great machine learning experts—even if they’re not already working on alignment—will be critical to solving it.

Throw a stone at any creative product nowadays, and you’ll hit an AI-supported feature. But for Blackmagic Design, AI has already been used for about half a decade under a different name — the DaVinci Resolve Neural Engine.

Their use of AI is impressive but you’d think they’d have good continuous autofocus by now.

I’m going have to split this post into an AI post aswell.

Tesla is planning to use its Optimus robot, also known as Tesla Bot, in its stores in an attempt to help sales, but not necessarily how you think.

We are not talking about robots taking care of customers walking into the stores, or at least not just yet.

Sources familiar with the matter told Electrek that Tesla has been experimenting with using Optimus humanoid robot display units inside its stores in China.

OpenAI is forming a new team led by Ilya Sutskever, its chief scientist and one of the company’s co-founders, to develop ways to steer and control “superintelligent” AI systems.

In a blog post published today, Sutskever and Jan Leike, a lead on the alignment team at OpenAI, predict that AI with intelligence exceeding that of humans could arrive within the decade. This AI — assuming it does, indeed, arrive eventually — won’t necessarily be benevolent, necessitating research into ways to control and restrict it, Sutskever and Leike say.

“Currently, we don’t have a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI, and preventing it from going rogue,” they write. “Our current techniques for aligning AI, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, rely on humans’ ability to supervise AI. But humans won’t be able to reliably supervise AI systems much smarter than us.”

The 17 goals were set by the UN in 2015 and over the years, these goals have become unachievable.

The United Nations’ ‘AI for Good’ Summit is underway in Geneva and will showcase specialized robots to help the organization reach its 17 Social Development Goals (SDGs).

The goals were set in 2015, and over the years, these goals have become improbable, owing to the increasing costs of meeting the targets. The United Nations has been fighting issues like hunger, poverty, and climate change, whose prices have risen 25 PERCENT to $176 trillion from 2021 to 2022, reported Reuters.

New research from the University of Montana and its partners suggests artificial intelligence can match the top 1% of human thinkers on a standard test for creativity.

The study was directed by Dr. Erik Guzik, an assistant clinical professor in UM’s College of Business. He and his partners used the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, a well-known tool used for decades to assess human creativity.

The researchers submitted eight responses generated by ChatGPT, the application powered by the GPT-4 artificial intelligence engine. They also submitted answers from a control group of 24 UM students taking Guzik’s entrepreneurship and personal finance classes. These scores were compared with 2,700 college students nationally who took the TTCT in 2016. All submissions were scored by Scholastic Testing Service, which didn’t know AI was involved.

One way to achieve this is to combine GPTs with causal AI—a precise and trustworthy type of AI that provides rich and accurate context, which is particularly valuable in cloud observability, analytics and automation.

Causal AI observes the actual relationships within a system, such as a multicloud technology stack, and delivers detailed and precise answers in near real time based on these observations. These answers enable users to discern the cause, type, severity, risk, impact and location of any issue flagged by the AI with very high precision based on real-time observed facts and their interdependencies.

In the future, DevOps teams can use automated prompt engineering to feed real-time data and causal AI-derived context to their GPT. As a result, the answers they receive will be more relevant, accurate and actionable.

After being one of the first plugins to ever come to ChatGPT, Wolfram has now gone all in on the LLM wave. In the latest version 13.3 update, the Wolfram language has added support for LLM technology, as well as integrating an AI model into the Wolfram Cloud.

This update comes on the heels of Wolfram slowly building the tooling for making the language LLM-ready. The update puts LLMs directly into the language with the introduction of an LLM subsystem for the language. It also builds on the LLM functions technology added in May, which ‘packages’ AI powers into a callable function, with the new subsystem now being user-addressable.

With these new updates, developers have a whole new way of interfacing with their data. This approach combines Stephen Wolfram’s idea of natural language programming along with the Wolfram language’s symbolic programming, creating a force to be reckoned with. What’s more, with the Wolfram language API, this can be plugged in to larger systems, delivering amazing power through a natural language interface.
