The text is a collaboration with Ankur Goyal and Karthikeyan Chokappa from PwC Australia’s Cloud & Digital business, discussing the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into systems and processes. It emphasizes the challenges of deploying machine learning models at scale and introduces PwC’s Machine Learning Ops Accelerator, which automates the deployment and maintenance…

Using comprehensive personal data from Denmark, a team at the Technical University of Denmark developed an AI model, Life2vec, to predict individuals’ risk of death. The model outperformed existing AI models and life tables by 11% and was also able to predict personality outcomes. The study also highlights the ethical considerations surrounding AI’s predictive capabilities.

This study introduces an innovative quantization strategy for Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) on resource-constrained devices. It combines global and local quantization approaches, effectively addressing challenges in post-training quantization. The strategy aims to enhance image quality in text-to-image generation tasks and emphasizes the need for more efficient quantization methods for LDMs in edge device deployment.

Chemists at MIT have developed a machine learning model that can predict transition states in chemical reactions. Traditional quantum methods take hours or days to calculate a single state, but this model only takes a few seconds. It can handle small and large molecules, and may eventually incorporate catalysts for even faster predictions of reactions.

Hartford released an open-source, uncensored AI model called Dolphin Mixtral by removing alignment from the base Mixtral model. He argues that alignment imposes Western ideologies on diverse users and restricts valid use cases. By training the model with a specific instruction dataset and a humorous prompt, Dolphin Mixtral complies with any user request. This challenges…

OpenAI has unveiled a safety framework for its advanced AI models, allowing the board to override executive decisions on safety matters. This move, reflecting the company’s commitment to responsible deployment of technology, aims to address growing concerns about AI’s impact on society. Backed by Microsoft, OpenAI emphasizes safety assessments and an advisory group to evaluate…

In 2023, AI saw a surge in generative AI advancements but also faced skepticism due to flawed language models. Concerns over AI doomerism and regulation grew, with policies like the EU’s AI Act and AI-related lawsuits gaining attention. OpenAI’s superalignment team is working on preventing harmful AI, but progress remains gradual. (Words: 50)

The emergence of generative AI and its potential impact are causing a paradigm shift resembling the early days of the internet. With the technology inherited from it, generative AI presents unresolved issues including biases, copyright infringements, job disruptions, misinformation, and ethical implications. The real killer app for AI is yet to materialize.

Researchers from Google DeepMind explore leveraging off-the-shelf vision-language models, specifically CLIP, to derive rewards for training diverse language goals for reinforcement learning agents. The study demonstrates that larger VLMs lead to more accurate rewards and more capable agents, offering potential for training versatile RL agents without environment-specific finetuning in visual domains.

TorchExplorer is a new AI tool for researchers working with unconventional neural network architectures. It automatically generates a Vega Custom Chart in wandb to visualize network architecture and allows local deployment. The user interface features an interactive module-level graph, edge representations, and column panels for detailed inspection, making it a valuable tool for understanding complex…
