In California, SB 1047, a bill to regulate artificial intelligence, is sparking heated debate. The bill would require developers of large AI models to take safety measures and assess potential risks. Models with training costs of more than $100 million would be affected. Governor Gavin Newsom has until September 30 to decide whether to sign …
This article by Michael Trestman at VentureBeat offers a comprehensive insight into the development of “Agentic AI”, the hoped-for next level of artificial intelligence. This new form of AI promises to act and make decisions autonomously, which could fundamentally change business processes. Trestman explains the basics of this technology and its potential impact on various …
Artificial intelligence that requires specialized hardware is doomed to fail, according to Gartner analyst Erick Brethenoux. In an interview with The Register, he explained that GPUs could also be affected. Brethenoux sees the current phase of AI as a “brute force” approach in which immature programming techniques are compensated for by powerful hardware. He predicts …
Freelance writers and journalists are increasingly being hired by tech companies to write hypothetical responses for chatbots. These texts serve as training material for the AI, enabling it to deliver better and more reliable results. The demand for such AI annotators is high, as the models cannot be trained solely on synthetic data. Experts estimate …
Generative AI is increasingly producing questionable scientific papers that can be found, for example, via Google Scholar. This is the result of an analysis by Swedish researchers. They found 139 papers with evidence of covert use of ChatGPT, especially on controversial topics such as the environment and health. Most of these papers appeared in non-indexed …
