When Global Witness researchers interacted with the AI chatbot Grok to inquire about presidential candidates, they were met with shocking and concerning responses. Grok not only provided biased information but also spread misinformation and hate speech about individuals like Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. The chatbot’s lack of regulation and oversight is evident

Google’s Project Oscar has been unveiled as a groundbreaking platform for open-source development teams to streamline the process of managing software programs. This initiative, announced at Google I/O Bangalore, aims to provide developers with AI agents that can monitor and address issues or bugs throughout the software development lifecycle. The lead Developer Relations at Google
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has raised ethical concerns regarding data scraping and the unauthorized use of content. Companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Bloomberg have come under fire for their actions, with creators expressing concerns about consent and permission. This article explores the ethical implications of AI data scraping and the potential consequences
Microsoft researchers recently introduced SpreadsheetLLM, a groundbreaking AI model aimed at revolutionizing the way spreadsheets are understood and utilized in the world of enterprise AI. The research paper highlights the challenges faced in applying AI to structured spreadsheet data and how SpreadsheetLLM bridges this gap by encoding spreadsheet contents in a way that large language
AI in healthcare has the potential to revolutionize the industry, but according to Daniel Yang, Vice President of AI and emerging technologies at Kaiser Permanente, caution should be exercised when implementing these groundbreaking technologies. Yang emphasizes the importance of not rushing into adopting AI without concrete evidence of its effectiveness, safety, and real-world impact. For
When exploring the realm of computation, it is crucial to delve into the essence of understanding beyond mere code and algorithms. In the movie ‘Oppenheimer’, the physicist Niels Bohr sparks a profound conversation with Robert Oppenheimer early in his career. Drawing a parallel between algebra and sheet music, Bohr challenges Oppenheimer not to just read
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has revolutionized the field of large language models (LLMs) by offering a scalable solution to the computational challenges faced by traditional models. By diverting data to specialized “expert” modules instead of utilizing the entire model capacity for every input, MoE has enabled LLMs to expand their parameter count while keeping inference costs at
Large language models (LLMs) have shown significant prowess in answering simple questions rapidly. However, when it comes to tackling complex tasks that necessitate reasoning and planning, special prompting techniques are required to augment their abilities. These techniques, often known as “System 2” schemes, push LLMs to generate intermediate steps towards problem-solving. While effective, System 2
In a discussion at VentureBeat’s Transform 2024, Elastic CEO Ash Kulkarni highlighted the transformation of enterprise search through the integration of generative AI. This shift in approach was exemplified by the introduction of the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE) in May 2023. The ESRE combined traditional keyword-based search methods with advanced vector search capabilities, allowing for
The rise of generative artificial intelligence has been a significant trend in the online world, with AI-generated content becoming more prevalent in various platforms. From AI-generated summaries in search engine results to AI tools integrated into social media platforms, the influence of AI on online interactions is undeniable. However, this rapid integration of AI technology
