Then, once a model generates content, it will need to be evaluated and edited carefully by a human. Alternative prompt outputs may be combined into a single document. Image generation may require substantial manipulation.
After generation, results need evaluation
Is this also a role of the prompt engineer? In the digital photography example, the artist spent 80 hours and created 900 versions as the prompts were fine-tuned.

Algorithmic artist Roman Verostko, a member of this early group, drew a contrast between the process that an artist develops to create an algorithm and the process through which the art maker uses an already developed set of instructions to generate an output. He explained that it is “the inclusion of one’s own algorithms that make the difference.”
This stresses the difference between creators and users of AI, with only the former having (full) control over the technology

If you talk to people about the potential of artificial intelligence, almost everybody brings up the same thing: the fear of replacement. For most people, this manifests as a dread certainty that AI will ultimately make their skills obsolete. For those who actually work on AI, it usually manifests as a feeling of guilt – guilt over creating the machines that put their fellow humans out of a job, and guilt over an imagined future where they’re the only ones who are gainfully employed.
Noah Smith and soon spell out, in detail, the argument that the fear of replacement is misplaced - because AI will replace humans at task level, but not job level.

Emergent abilities are not present in small models but can be observed in large models.
Here’s a lovely blog by Jason Wei that pulls together 137 examples of ’emergent abilities of large language models’. Emergence is a phenomenon seen in contemporary AI research, where a model will be really bad at a task at smaller scales, then go through some discontinuous change which leads to significantly improved performance.

Houston, we have a Capability Overhang problem: Because language models have a large capability surface, these cases of emergent capabilities are an indicator that we have a ‘capabilities overhang’ – today’s models are far more capable than we think, and our techniques available for exploring the models are very juvenile. We only know about these cases of emergence because people built benchmark datasets and tested models on them. What about all the capabilities we don’t know about because we haven’t thought to test for them? There are rich questions here about the science of evaluating the capabilities (and safety issues) of contemporary models.

As the metaphor suggests, though, the prospect of a capability overhang isn’t necessarily good news. As well as hidden and emerging capabilities, there are hidden and emerging threats. And these dangers, like our new skills, are almost too numerous to name.
-
There’s a concept in AI that I’m particularly fond of that I think helps explain what’s happening. It’s called “capability overhang” and refers to the hidden capacities of AI: skills and aptitudes latent within systems that researchers haven’t even begun to investigate yet. You might have heard before that AI models are “black boxes” — that they’re so huge and complex that we don’t fully understand how they operate or come to specific conclusions. This is broadly true and is what creates this overhang.

Which is why I wonder if this may be the end of using writing as a benchmark for aptitude and intelligence.
-
Perhaps there are reasons for optimism, if you push all this aside. Maybe every student is now immediately launched into that third category: The rudiments of writing will be considered a given, and every student will have direct access to the finer aspects of the enterprise. Whatever is inimitable within them can be made conspicuous, freed from the troublesome mechanics of comma splices, subject-verb disagreement, and dangling modifiers.
-
I’ve also long held, for those who are interested in writing, that you need to learn the basic rules of good writing before you can start breaking them—that, like Picasso, you have to learn how to reliably fulfill an audience’s expectations before you get to start putting eyeballs in people’s ears and things.

Many HRMS providers point to AI approaches for processing unstructured data as the bestcurrently available approach to dealing with validation. Currently these approaches suffer frominsufficient accuracy. Improving them requires development of large and high-quality referencedatasets to better train the models.
Historical labor data will be full of bias. AI approaches must correct for bias in training sets, lest we build very sophisticated and intelligent systems that excel at perpetuating the bias they were taught.

Cognition AutomationThe first kind is cognitive automation: encoding human abstractions in a piece of software, then using that software to automate tasks normally performed by humans. Nearly all of current AI fall into this category.Cognitive automation can happen via explicitly hard-coding human-generated rules (so-called symbolic AI or GOFAI), or via collecting a dense sampling of labeled inputs and fitting a curve to it (such as a deep learning model). This curve then functions as a sort of interpolative database — while it doesn’t store the exact data points used to fit it, you can query it to retrieve interpolated points, much like you can query a model like StableDiffusion to retrieve arbitrary images generated by combining existing images.This second form of automation is especially powerful, since encoding implicit abstractions only via training examples is far more practical and versatile than explicitly programming abstractions by hand, for all kinds of historically difficult problems.Cognitive AssistanceThe second kind of AI is cognitive assistance: using AI to help us make sense of the world and make better decisions. AI to help us perceive, think, understand, and do more. AI that you could use like an extension of your own mind. Today, some applications of machine learning fall into this category, but they’re few and far between. Yet, I believe this is where the true potential of AI lies.Do note that cognitive assistance is not a different kind of technology, per se, separate from deep learning or GOFAI. It’s a different kind of application of the same technologies. For instance, if you take a model like StableDiffusion and integrate it into a visual design product to support and expand human workflows, you’re turning cognitive automation into cognitive assistance.Cognitive AutonomyThe last kind is cognitive autonomy: creating artificial minds that could thrive independently of us, that would exist for their own sake. The old dream of the field of AI. Autonomous agents, that could set their own goals in an open-ended way. That could adapt to new situations and circumstances — even ones unforeseen by their creators. That might even feel emotions or experience consciousness.Today and for the foreseeable future, this is stuff of science-fiction. It would require a set of technological breakthroughs that we haven’t even started exploring.

“In literacy education, particularly for developing writers, instructors are looking for the level of desirable difficulty, or the point at which you are working yourself just as hard so that you don’t break but you also improve,” Laffin told Motherboard. “Finding the right, appropriate level of desirable difficulty level of instruction makes their capacity to write grow. So if you are doing compensation techniques that go beyond finding that level of desirable difficulty and instructing at that place, then you’re not helping them grow as a writer.”

In addition, China's efforts to become “world leader in AI by 2030, as long as China is developing a digital structures matched with The one belt one road project . USA , did not contribute to UNESCO AI Recommendations however USA It works to promote democratic values and human rights and integrate them with the governance of artificial intelligence .
USA and UE are facing challenges with transatlantic data flows , with Ukrainian crises The situation became more difficult. In order to reinstate leadership in AI policy, the United States should advance the policy initiative launched last year by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and Strengthening efforts to support AI Bill of rights .

researchers always tried to make systems that worked the way the researchers thought their own minds worked---they tried to put that knowledge in their systems---but it proved ultimately counterproductive, and a colossal waste of researcher's time, when, through Moore's law, massive computation became available and a means was found to put it to good use.

Language is a communication method evolved by intelligent beings, not a (primary) constituent of intelligence. From neurology it's pretty clear that the basic architecture of human minds is functional interconnected neural networks and not symbolic processing. My belief is that world-modeling and prediction is the vast majority of what intelligence is, which is quite close to what the LLMs are doing. World models can be in many representations (symbolic, logic gates, neural networks) but what matters is how accurate they are with respect to reality, and how well the model state is mapped from sensory input and back into real-world outputs. Symbolic human language relies on each person's internal world model and is learned by interacting with other humans who share a common language and similar enough world models, not the other way around (learning the world model as an aspect of the language itself). Children learn which language inputs and outputs are beneficial and enjoyable to them using their native intelligence and can strengthen their world model with questions and answers that inform their model without having to directly experience what they are asking about.People who don't believe the LLMs have a world model are wrong because they are mistaking a physically weak world model for no world model. GPT-3 doesn't understand physics well enough to embed models of the referents of language into a unified model that has accurate gravity and motion dynamics, so it maintains a much more dreamlike model where objects exist in scenes and have relationships to each other but those relationships are governed by literary relationships instead of physical ones and so contradictions and superpositions and causality violations are allowed in the model. As multimodal transformers like Gato get trained on more combined language and sensory input their world models will become much more physically and causally accurate which will be reflected in their accuracy on NLP tasks.

In Mostaque’s explanation, open source is about “putting this in the hands of people that will build on and extend this technology.” However, that means putting all these capabilities in the hands of the public — and dealing with the consequences, both good and bad.

Example of 'journalism' muddying the waters in order to have a story to publish at all.
- copyright presupposes a human or legal entity copyright holder
- copyright is a given when a certain threshold of creative effort is surpassed
- copyright is given to a work
The work copyrighted here are not the algorithmic assisted images, the work is a graphic novel, a collective of arranged images, written text etc. One could do that with any public domain stuff and still have copyright on the work. Additionally the author prompted the algorithm towards desired outcomes. Both satisfy the creativity threshold. Like in https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2022/06/dall-e-mini-siso-stereotype-in-stereotype-out/ where I listed the images as public domain (because I thought my prompts were uncreative), but the resulting arranging / juxtaposing multiple prompts as copyrighted by me (obviously not the algorithm).
There's no ghost in the machine. Machines are irrelevant to copyright considerations.

To my knowledge, conferring copyright in works generated by artificial intelligence has never been specifically prohibited. However, there are indications that the laws of many countries are not amenable to non-human copyright. In the United States, for example, the Copyright Office has declared that it will “register an original work of authorship, provided that the work was created by a human being.” This stance flows from case law (e.g. Feist Publications v Rural Telephone Service Company, Inc. 499 U.S. 340 (1991)) which specifies that copyright law only protects “the fruits of intellectual labor” that “are founded in the creative powers of the mind.” Similarly, in a recent Australian case (Acohs Pty Ltd v Ucorp Pty Ltd), a court declared that a work generated with the intervention of a computer could not be protected by copyright because it was not produced by a human.

The Napkin Math 的 Evan Armstrong 本周发表了一篇长文，讨论了在 AI 生成内容技术推动内容创作成本逐步逼近零之后产生的问题。文中包含了大量 AI 生成内容的案例，对于理解目前技术所处的阶段有很多帮助。
Armstrong 认为，商业模式可以简化认为是：生产、获客和分发三个环节。从内容行业的角度看，互联网已经将分发这个环节的成本降为零。而在 AI 生成内容的时代，内容生产的成本可能是下一个被颠覆的环节。
作者认为，变化的周期可能是 5-10 年，也就是说在 2030 年前后，内容生产和创作将发生重大的变化，进而影响知识工作者的权力分配，而每个人与信息的关系也会发生剧烈的变化。
Armstrong 从创造和协作两个角度分析可能产生的影响：
- 创造。从零开始制造东西，完全替代以前需要人工投入的产品。
- 协作。人类与人工智能工具配对，极大地改善和加快了他们的工作流程。
他倾向于认为，协作可能是 AI 颠覆性更强的地方。而这意味着权力或利益的重新分配：
- 自动化去掉重复的、低价值的工作是生产力提高的主要来源。
- 在技术领域，新的创新总是在执行幂律法则。表现出色的人将不再需要支持人员，他们可以直接用人工智能来处理简单的事情。

Artificial intelligence is the defining industrial and technical paradigm of the remainder of our lifetimes.

The greats, like William Gibson, Robert Heinlein, Octavia Butler and Samuel Delany, have long been arcing towards the kind of strangeness that Wang is talking about. Their AI fictions have given us our best imagery: AI, more like a red giant, an overseer, its every movement and choice as crushing and irrefutable as death; or, a consciousness continually undoing and remaking itself in glass simulations; or, a vast hive mind that runs all its goals per second to completion, at any cost; or, a point in a field, that is the weight of a planet, in which all knowledge is concentrated. These fictions have made AI poetics possible.
So "alien intelligence" rather than "artificial intelligence". And then "artificial poetics", to grasp this so-called intelligence, that has to be understood not in the sense of something intelligent, but of something doing (alien) thinking.

We believe that the net benefits of scale outweigh the costs associated with these qualifications, provided that they are seriously addressed as part of what scaling means. The alternative of small, hand-curated models from which negative inputs and outputs are solemnly scrubbed poses different problems. “Just let me and my friends curate a small and correct language model for you instead” is the clear and unironic implication of some critiques.
This is the classical de/centralization debate, visible today also with regard to online platforms. Which, by the way, are or will be inserting LLMs into their infrastructural stacks. Thinking about de/centralization always reminds me of Frank Pasquale's "Tech Platforms and the Knowledge Problem" https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3197292

Onecannot hope thus to equal the speed and flexibility withwhich the mind follows an associative trail, but it should bepossible to beat the mind decisively in regard to the perma-nence and clarity of the items resurrected from storage
I agree, but at the same time, I wonder if the new modern technologies that imitate the human mind could eventually surpass the flexibility and speed of human thinking. In recent times, Google's AI system (LaMDA) convinced several people that it has consciousness. I wonder if one could aspire to equal the speed and flexibility that this article mentioned in terms of human mind.

In a recent example, Stable Diffusion, an open source AI system that generates images from text prompts, was released with a license prohibiting certain types of content. But it quickly found an audience within communities that use such AI tools to create pornographic deepfakes of celebrities.
This is a big question, whether use restrictions, which are becoming prolific (RAIL license, for example), can be enforced. If not, and that's a big if, it might create a situation of "responsibility washing" - licensors can argue they did all that's possible to curb harmful uses, and these will continue to happen in a gray / dark zone

We feel that there is a balance to be struck between maximizing access and use of LLMs on the one hand, and mitigating the risks associated with use of these powerful models, on the other hand, which could bring about harm and a negative impact on society. The fact that a software license is deemed "open" ( e.g. under an "open source" license ) does not inherently mean that the use of the licensed material is going to be responsible. Whereas the principles of 'openness' and 'responsible use' may lead to friction, they are not mutually exclusive, and we strive for a balanced approach to their interaction.

A cognitiveagent is needed to perform this very action (that needs to be recurrent)—and another agent is neededto further build on that (again recurrently and irrespective to the particular agents involved).
This appears to be setting up the conditions for an artificial cognitive agent to be able to play a role (ie Artificial Intelligence)

it would then be present social systemsand not the future AI the most proper context of considering and understanding the notion of takeover.

because it only needs to engage a portion of the model to complete a task, as opposed to other architectures that have to activate an entire AI model to run every request.
i don't really understand this: in z-code thre are tasks that other competitive softwares would need to restart all over again while z-code can do it without restarting...

人工智能研究实验室OpenAI 在四月发布了 DALL-E 2，2021 年发布的 DALL-E 的继任者。两个人工智能系统都能根据自然语言文本描述生成令人惊叹的图像；它们能制作看起来像照片、插图、绘画、动画，以及基本上你可以用文字表达出来的任何艺术风格的图像。DALL-E 2 有诸多改善：更好的分辨率、更快的处理速度和一个编辑器功能，编辑器允许用户仅使用文本命令对生成的图像进行修改，例如“用植物替代花瓶”或“让狗的鼻子变大”。用户还可以上传自己的图像，然后告诉人工智能系统如何对其进行调整。世界对 DALL-E 2 的最初反应是惊叹和高兴。可以在几秒钟之内将任何物体和生物组合在一起；可以模仿任何艺术风格；可以描绘任何位置；并且可以描绘出任何照明条件。例如看到一副毕加索风格的鹦鹉翻煎饼图像，谁能不印象深刻呢？可当人们思考哪些行业容易被这种技术颠覆的时候，担忧出现了。
OpenAI 尚未向公众、商业实体甚至整个人工智能社区发布该技术。OpenAI 研究员 Mark Chen 对 IEEE Spectrum 表示：“我们也和人们一样对滥用感到担忧，这是我们非常重视的事情。”该公司邀请了一些人尝试 DALL-E 2，允许他们与全世界分享他们的成果。有限公开测试的政策与 Google 的政策形成鲜明对比，后者刚刚发布了自己的文本到图像生成器 Imagen。在发布该系统时，Google 宣布不会发布代码或公开演示，因为存在滥用和生成有害图像的风险。Google 发布了一些非常令人印象深刻的图片，但没有向世界展示任何它所暗示的、有问题的内容。

受婴儿学习方式的启发，Deep Mind 的计算机科学家开发出一种程序能学习物体行为的简单物理学规则。研究报告发表在《Nature Human Behaviour》期刊上。当婴儿看到违反物理规则的画面时他们会表现出惊讶，比如视频中的球突然消失了。但 AI 在理解此类行为上的能力欠缺。Luis Piloto 和同事开发出名叫 Physics Learning through Auto-encoding and Tracking Objects (PLATO) 的软件模型，像婴儿那样学习简单的物理学规则。研究团队通过给 PLATO 观看许多描绘简单场景的视频来训练它，比如球落到地上，球滚到其他物体后面又再次出现，很多球之间弹来弹去。训练之后，研究人员给 PLATO 观看了有时包含不可能场景的视频，以此作为测试。和年幼的小孩一样，PLATO 在看到“不可能场景”时表现出了“惊讶”，比如物体互相穿过却没有发生相互作用。PLATO 只观看了 28 小时的视频就获得了以上学习效果。这些结果对 AI 和人类认知研究皆有重大影响。研究团队表示，这一模型可以学习各种物理概念，且体现出与发展心理学的发现一致的特点，而 PLATO 可以作为研究人类如何学习直观物理的一个有力工具，同时也表明了物体表征对于人类理解周围世界具有重要作用。

英国知识产权局（IPO）决定 AI 系统暂时不能为发明申请专利。IPO 最近一次咨询发现，专家对人工智能目前是否能在没有人类帮助的情况下进行发明持怀疑态度。IPO 表示，现行法律允许人类为人工智能协助完成的发明申请专利，尽管有误解，但实际情况并非如此。去年上诉法庭裁定 Stephen Thaler 败诉，后者曾表示他的 Dabus AI 系统应该被认定为两项专利申请的发明人：一种食品容器和一种闪光灯。法官以二比一的多数支持 IPO 必须是真人才能作为发明人的立场。大法官 Laing 在她的判决中写道：“只有人才能拥有权利——机器不行。”“专利是一项法定权利，只能够被授予个人。”但是 IPO 也表示，它将“需要了解我们的知识产权制度在未来如何保护人工智能设计的发明”，并致力于推动国际讨论，保持英国的竞争力。
很多人工智能系统都是使用从互联网上复制的大量数据训练的。 IPO 周二还宣布计划修改版权法，为了公共利益允许所有人合法访问——而不是像现在一样仅限于进行非商业研究的人访问，以此“促进人工智能技术的使用，并拓宽‘数据挖掘’技术。”权利持有人仍然能控制其作品的访问权并为此收取费用，但是不能再针对挖掘它们的能力收取额外费用。在咨询中，IPO 指出，英国是少数几个保护无人类创作者的计算机生成作品的国家之一。它表示，“计算机生成的作品”的“作者”被定义为“为作品创作进行必要安排的人”。保护期限为自作品完成之日起 50 年。表演艺术工作者工会 Equity 呼吁修改版权法，以保护演员的生计免受人工智能内容的影响，例如用他们的面部图像或声音生成“deepfakes”。IPO 表示他们会慎重对待该问题，但“现阶段人工智能技术对表演者的影响仍不明确。”该机构表示“将继续关注这些问题。”

机器学习模型正呈指数级增长。训练它们所需的能量也成倍增长——通过训练之后 AI 才能准确处理图像或文本或视频。随着人工智能社区努力应对其对环境的影响，一些会议现在要求论文提交者提供有关二氧化碳排放的信息。新研究提供了一种更准确的方法计算排放量。它还比较了影响它们的因素，并测试了两种减少排放的方法。 研究人员训练了 11 个规模不等的机器学习模型处理语言或图像。训练时间从单 GPU 上 1 小时到 256 个 GPU 上 8 天不等。他们记录每秒的能耗数据。还获得了 16 个地理区域 2020 年期间以五分钟为单位的每千瓦时能源碳排放量。然后他们可以比较在不同地区、不同时间运行不同模型的碳排放量。 为训练最小模型的 GPU 供电的碳排放量大致相当于为手机充电。最大的模型包含了 60 亿个参数，参数是衡量模型大小的标准。虽然它的训练只完成了 13%，但是 GPU 的碳排放量几乎相当于一个美国家庭一年耗电的碳排放量。而一些已部署的模型，例如 OpenAI 的 GPT-3，包含的参数超过了 1000 亿个。 减少碳排放的最大因素是地理区域：各地区每千瓦时的二氧化碳排放量从 200 克到 755 克不等。除了改变位置之外，研究人员还测试了两种减少二氧化碳排放的方法，他们能做到这一点得益于高时间粒度的数据。第一种方法是“灵活的开始”，这种方法可能会将训练延迟长达 24 个小时。对于需要几天时间训练的最大的模型，推迟一天通常只能将碳排放量减少不到 1%，但是对于小得多的模型，这样的延迟可以减少 10% 到 80% 的排放量。第二种方法是“暂停加恢复”，这种方法是在排放量高的时段暂停训练，只要总的训练时间增长不超过一倍即可。这种方法给小模型带来的好处只有几个百分点，但是在半数的地区，它让最大的模型受益达到 10% 到 30%。每千瓦时的排放量随着时间波动，部分是因为由于缺乏足够的能量存储，当风能和太阳能等间歇性清洁能源无法满足需求时，电网必须依赖“脏电”。

Companies need to actually have an ethics panel, and discuss what the issues are and what the needs of the public really are. Any ethics board must include a diverse mix of people and experiences. Where possible, companies should look to publish the results of these ethics boards to help encourage public debate and to shape future policy on data use.

2009 年当时在普林斯顿大学的计算机科学家李飞飞创造了一个将改变人工智能历史的数据集。该数据集被称为 ImageNet，包含了数百万张标记图像，可训练复杂的机器学习模型识别图片中的内容。2015 年，这些机器超越了人类的识别能力。不久之后，李飞飞开始寻找她所谓的另一个“北极星”——将以完全不同的方式推动人工智能发展为真正的智能。
她回顾了 5.3 亿年前的寒武纪大爆发——当时许多陆地生物物种首次出现，她从中获得了灵感。一种有影响力的理论认为，新物种爆发的部分原因在于第一次能看到周围世界的眼睛的出现。李飞飞意识到，动物的视觉永远不会自行出现，而是“深深根植于一个需要在瞬息万变的环境中移动、导航、生存、操纵和改变的整个身体之中。”她表示：“这就是为什么我会很自然地在人工智能方面转向更积极的愿景。”
如今李飞飞的工作重点是人工智能代理，它们不仅可以从数据集中接受静态图像，还可以在三维虚拟世界的模拟环境中四处移动并与环境交互。这是一个被称为具身人工智能(embodied AI)的新领域的广泛目标，李飞飞并不是唯一投身于该领域的人。该领域与机器人技术重叠，因为机器人可以是具身人工智能代理在现实世界中的物理等价物，而强化学习——总是训练交互式代理学习将长期奖励作为激励。但是李飞飞和其他一些人认为，具身人工智能可以推动从机器学习直接能力（如识别图像）到学习如何通过多个步骤执行复杂的类人任务（如制作煎蛋卷）的重大转变。

人工智能的使用正在蓬勃发展，但是它可能并不是你想象中的秘密武器：从网络行动到虚假信息，人工智能拓展了国家安全威胁的触角，可以精确、快速大规模地针对个人和整个社会。随着美国努力保持领先地位，美国情报体系（IC）正努力适应并开启人工智能即将带来的革命。美国情报体系启动了一些针对人工智能的影响和道德用途的举措，分析师开始构思人工智能将如何彻底地改变他们的学科，但是这些方法和 IC 对此类技术的其他一些实际应用在很大程度上都是分散的...美国不同的政府机构正在如何使用人工智能查找全球网络流量和卫星图像中的模式，但是在使用人工智能解释意图时存在着一些问题：Pyrra Technologies 的首席技术官 Eric Curwin 表示，人工智能的理解可能更类似于刚学会走路的人类幼儿。该公司帮助客户识别从暴力到虚假信息在内的各种虚拟威胁。Curwin表示：“例如人工智能可以理解人类语言的基础知识，但是基本模型不具备完成特定任务的相关知识或对上下文的理解。”Curwin 解释说，为了“建立可以开始取代人类直觉或认知的模型，研究人员必须首先了解如何解释行为，并将该行为转化成人工智能可以学习的东西。”

人工智能让研究人员能检查当今科学仪器产生的大量数据，改变了科学实践。使用深度学习，可以从数据本身中学习，在数据的海洋中大海捞针。人工智能正在推动基因搜索、药学、药物设计和化合物合成的发展。为了从新数据中提取信息，深度学习要使用算法，算法通常是在海量数据上训练出来的神经网络。按照其分步说明，它与传统计算有很大的不同。它从数据中学习。深度学习没有传统计算编程那么透明，这留下了一个悬而未决的重要问题：系统学到了什么，它知道什么？五十年来，计算机科学家一直在试图解决蛋白质折叠问题，但没有成功。2016 年 Google 母公司 Alphabet 的人工智能子公司 DeepMind 推出了 AlphaFold 计划。利用蛋白质数据库作为训练集，该库中包含了超过 15 万种蛋白质的经验确定结构。不到五年的时间里，AlphaFold 就解决了蛋白质折叠问题，或者至少解决了其中最重要的方面：根据氨基酸序列识别蛋白质结构。AlphaFold 无法解释蛋白质是如何如此快速而精准地折叠的。这对人工智能来说是一次巨大的胜利，因为它不仅赢得了很高的科学声誉，而且是一项可能影响每个人生活的重大科学突破。

知名量子计算机专家 Scott Aaronson 宣布他将离开 UT Austin 一年，到 AI 创业公司 OpenAI（大部分是远程）从事理论研究，其工作主要是研究防止 AI 失控的理论基础，以及计算复杂性对此有何作为。他承认暂时没有头绪，因此需要花一整年时间去思考。OpenAI 的使命是确保 AI 能让全人类受益，但它同时也是一家盈利实体。Scott Aaronson 称他即使没有签署保密协议，但也不太会公开任何专有信息，但会分享 AI 安全性的一般思考。他说，人们对于 AI 安全性的短期担忧是在垃圾信息、监视和宣传方面滥用 AI，长期担忧则是当 AI 智能在所有领域都超过人类会发生什么。一个方案是找到方法让 AI 在价值观上与人类保持一致。

Another absurd page that suggests Alexa has feelings. In the strictest sense Alexa doesn't even qualify as a partial AI. It's just a glorified (although extremely helpful) lookup table. There is no reason to believe that even a true AI, such as a self-teaching, building and growing neural network (which Alexa is not), has feelings. Of what we know of feelings, the hard question of consciousness is only a prerequisite ... doesn't even guarantee having feelings, and even whether machines can be conscious is doubtful by many if not most experts of AI within existentialism. Even all the theories of consciousness are rooted in correlations that have little to do with scientific tenets, so to make the leap to an AI having feelings, let alone Alexa which isn't even a theoretical AI, is just a sad to see. At best we should not be "rude" to machine because it might be hard for some to distinguish between machine and a feeling thing. but in that case the problem is with the misperception that machines can feel, more than it is a problem with people being "rude" to machines.

This is just really horrible to validate a falsehood to children that Alexa does in fact have feelings. Really warped, really messed up. Of course children should be taught good manners, and by example no less, but I worry for a future where people can be manipulated by suggesting that a non-living thing has feelings, regardless whether it has an AI or not.
Note that a true AI has yet to be created ... only facsimile's exist, mostly of the expert-based AI which Alexa is, which doesn't even fit the definition of a partial AI, it's just a lookup table.

nother trend that surfaced in our summer survey and became more pronounced in our 2021 surveydata is that organizations are focusing on AI/ML use cases that will reduce costs while improving thecustomer experience. When respondents were asked about the different ways they’re applying AI/ML intheir organizations, customer experience and process automation rose to the top as some of the mostcommon use cases respondents selected. We also saw a dramatic (74%) year-on-year increase inorganizations that selected more than five use cases from the list of options in the survey.
There were more use cases from 2020 to 2021. The biggest increase was in improving customer experience. Following closely behind was in generating customer insights, then automating processes.
-
Here’s an even more telling indicator of the accelerating pace of AI/ML strategies. Respondents were askedhow many data scientists their organizations employ, from which we estimated the average number of datascientists employed by organizations in both the 2020 and 2021 data. Year-on-year, the average number ofdata scientists employed has increased by 76%. In fact 29% of respondents in our 2021 report now havemore than 100 data scientists on their team, a significant increase from the 17% reported last year.
There was a major increase in the number of data scientists from 2020 and 2021.
-
It’s clear from this year’s data that AI/ML projects have becomeone of the top strategic priorities in many enterprises. As of last year,organizations had already begun to boost their AI/ML investments;71% of respondents in our 2020 report said their AI/ML budgets hadincreased compared with the previous year.They’re not dialing back that spending this year. In fact, companiesappear to be doubling down on their AI/ML investments. We ran asurvey this summer to see how organizations were adapting to thepandemic and its impacts, and it showed a new sense of urgencyaround AI/ML projects.
Companies are spending more on AI.
-
Continuing the trends we saw in our summer survey, our 2021 surveyshows an increase in prioritization, spending, and hiring for AI/ML. Firstoff, 76% of organizations say they prioritize AI/ML over other IT initiatives,and 64% say the priority of AI/ML has increased relative to other ITinitiatives in the last 12 months.43%Respondents who told usthat AI/ML matters “waymore than we thought”in a survey this summerThe time to invest inAI/ML is now, no matteryour organization’s size,
AI is taking priority over the other IT initiatives.
-
This year’s survey revealed 10 key trends that organizations should be paying attention toif they want to succeed with AI/ML in 2021. The trends fall into a few main themes, and theoverarching takeaway is that organizations are moving AI/ML initiatives up their strategicpriority lists—and accelerating their spending and hiring in the process.But despite increasing budgets and staff, organizations continue to face significant barriersto reaping AI/ML’s full benefits. Specifically, the market is still dominated by early adopters,and organizations continue to struggle with basic deployment and organizational challenges.The bottom line is, organizations simply haven’t learned how to translate increasinginvestments into efficiency and scale
Many organisations still face challenges in AI adoption. The key question is how do they translate increasing investments in AI into efficiency and scale.
-
2020 was a year of belt-tightening for many organizations due largely to the macroeconomicimpacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2020, Gartner predicted that global IT spendingwould decline 8% over the course of 2020 as business and technology leaders refocusedtheir budgets on their most important initiatives.One thing is readily apparent in the 2021 edition of our enterprise trends in machinelearning report: AI and ML initiatives are clearly on the priority list in many organizations.Not only has the upheaval of 2020 not impeded AI/ML efforts that were already underway,but it appears to have accelerated those projects as well as new initiatives.
2022 is certainly a year in which AI is changing many businesses

Randomization
The task instructions require patients to place and remove the nine pegs one at a time and in random order as quickly as possible ( Mathiowetz et al. 1985; Oxford Grice et al. 2003).
Blinding
Two boardcertified neurologists ( Drs Corbetta and Carter ) reviewed all segmentations blinded to the individual behavioural data .
Power Analysis
We believe that adding other factors ( e.g. demographic , clinical , socioeconomic variables ) that likely interact with the recovery of patients can help us increase the model’s predictive power.
Replication

Not required = Field is not applicable to this study
Not detected = Field is applicable to this study, but not included.
Ethics
IRB: Samples and data collections were conducted according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki , and approved by the Ethics Committee Sciences et Santé Animale n°115 ( protocol code COVIFEL approved on 1 September 2020 , registered under SSA_2020_010 ) .
Euthanasia Agents: Cells were then incubated for 72 h at 37 °C with 5 % of CO2 .
Field Sample Permit: These experiments were approved by the Anses/ENVA/UPEC ethic committee and the French Ministry of Research ( Apafis n°24818-2020032710416319 ) .
Consent: All sera from the first cohort , and whole blood samples from the second cohort , were obtained from the Toulouse hospital , where all patients give , by default , their consent for any biological material left over to be used for research purposes after all the clinical tests requested by doctors have been duly completed.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
not detected.
Attrition
One additional conclusion that can be drawn from the comparison of the results of the RBD-ELISA with those of the Jurkat-S&R-flow test is that, whilst the two methods show similar sensitivities, the ELISA signals tend to saturate very rapidly, and are thus much less dynamic that those obtained by flow cytometry.
Sex as a biological variable
Of note, we did not notice an increased frequency of allo-reactivity in samples from women compared to men, which suggests that allo-reactivity after pregnancy is not a major cause in the origin of those allo-reactions.
Subject Demographics
Age: Experiments on virally-infected hamsters Eight week-old female Syrian golden hamsters ( Mesocricetus auratus , strain RjHan:AURA ) from Janviers’s breeding Center ( Le Genest , St Isle , France ) were housed in an animal-biosafety level 3 ( A-BSL3) , with ad libidum access to water and food.
Randomization
The results of the second cohort, which comprised a few Covid patients, but also a large proportion of blood samples randomly picked among those from patients hospitalized for conditions unrelated to Covid-19, yielded a much less clear picture than the first one.
Blinding
On the other hand, the situation was much less clear-cut for the cohort comprising blood samples picked more or less randomly and blindly among those available as left-overs from the hematology department and was, therefore, more akin to a ‘real’ population.
Power Analysis
not detected.
Replication
not required.
Cell Line Authentication
Contamination: The Jurkat-S and Jurkat-R cell lines were both checked for the absence of mycoplasma contamination using the HEK blue hTLR2 kit ( Invivogen , Toulouse , France ).
Authentication: For the same reason , the blood samples for the experiment shown on Figure 3A were collected by one of the authors by simple finger-pricking.

He said the new AI tutor platform collects “competency skills graphs” made by educators, then uses AI to generate learning activities, such as short-answer or multiple-choice questions, which students can access on an app. The platform also includes applications that can chat with students, provide coaching for reading comprehension and writing, and advise them on academic course plans based on their prior knowledge, career goals and interest
I saw an AI Tutor demo as ASU+GSV in 2021 and it was still early stage. Today, the features highlighted here are yet to be manifested in powerful ways that are worth utilizing, however, I do believe the aspirations are likely to be realized, and in ways beyond what the product managers are even hyping. (For example, I suspect AI Tutor will one day be able to provide students feedback in the voice/tone of their specific instructor.)

Standard algorithms as a reliable engine in SaaS https://en.itpedia.nl/2021/12/06/standaard-algoritmen-als-betrouwbaar-motorblok-in-saas/ The term "Algorithm" has gotten a bad rap in recent years. This is because large tech companies such as Facebook and Google are often accused of threatening our privacy. However, algorithms are an integral part of every application. As is known, SaaS is standard software, which makes use of algorithms just like other software.
- But what are algorithms anyway?
- How can we use standard algorithms?
- How do standard algorithms end up in our software?
- When is software not an algorithm?

automatic OER processing
I am unsure of what "automatic OER Processing" might mean/ Can anyone help?
The closes I came was in the section of a International Journal of OER paper by Stephen Downes: A Look at the Future of Open Educational Resources where in the Artificial Intelligence section he illustrates an example of AI creating OER (?)
What is relevant to open education is that the services offered by these programs will be available as basic resources to help build courses, learning modules, or interactive instruction. For example, Figure 3 illustrates a simple case. It takes the URL of an image, loads it, and connects an online artificial intelligence gateway offered by Microsoft as part of its Azure cloud services using an API key generated from an Azure account.
The Azure AI service automatically generates a description of the image, which is used as an alt tag, so the image can be accessible; the alt tag can be read by a screen reader for those who aren’t able to actually see the image. In this case, the image recognition technology automatically created the text “a large waterfall over a rocky cliff,” along with a more complete set of analytical data about the image.
Yes this is interesting and is a useful tool for content creation, but to me seems a far leap to creating educational content.

Normally, thousands of rabbits and guinea pigs are used andkilled, in scientific laboratories, for experiments which yieldgreat and tangible benefits to humanity. This war butcheredmillions of people and ruined the health and lives of tens ofmillions. Is this climax of the pre-war civilization to be passedunnoticed, except for the poetry and the manuring of the battlefields, that the“poppies blow”stronger and better fed? Or is thedeath of ten men on the battle field to be of as much worth inknowledge gained as is the life of one rabbit killed for experi-ment? Is the great sacrifice worth analysing? There can be onlyone answer—yes. But, if truth be desired, the analysis must bescientific.
Idea: Neural net parameter analysis but with society as the 'neural net' and the 'training examples' things like industrial accidents, etc. How many 'training examples' does it take to 'learn' a lesson, and what can we infer about the rate of learning from these statistics?

An “attention map” of each prediction shows the important data points considered by the models as they make that prediction.
This gets us closer to explainable AI, in that the model is showing the clinician which variables were important in informing the prediction.

Recommendations DON'T use shifted PPMI with SVD. DON'T use SVD "correctly", i.e. without eigenvector weighting (performance drops 15 points compared to with eigenvalue weighting with (p = 0.5)). DO use PPMI and SVD with short contexts (window size of (2)). DO use many negative samples with SGNS. DO always use context distribution smoothing (raise unigram distribution to the power of (lpha = 0.75)) for all methods. DO use SGNS as a baseline (robust, fast and cheap to train). DO try adding context vectors in SGNS and GloVe.

And the problem is that, even human beings are not very sensitive to how this can be done well. Because there is such diversity in human cultures, preferences, and norms, deciding whose values to prioritise is problematic.

One thing that should be learned from the bitter lesson is the great power of general purpose methods, of methods that continue to scale with increased computation even as the available computation becomes very great. The two methods that seem to scale arbitrarily in this way are search and learning
This is a big lesson. As a field, we still have not thoroughly learned it, as we are continuing to make the same kind of mistakes. To see this, and to effectively resist it, we have to understand the appeal of these mistakes. We have to learn the bitter lesson that building in how we think we think does not work in the long run. The bitter lesson is based on the historical observations that 1) AI researchers have often tried to build knowledge into their agents, 2) this always helps in the short term, and is personally satisfying to the researcher, but 3) in the long run it plateaus and even inhibits further progress, and 4) breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning. The eventual success is tinged with bitterness, and often incompletely digested, because it is success over a favored, human-centric approach.

Deep Reinforcement Learning and its Neuroscientific Implications In this paper, the authors provided a high-level introduction to deep RL, discussed some of its initial applications to neuroscience, and surveyed its wider implications for research on brain and behaviour and concluded with a list of opportunities for next-stage research. Although DeepRL seems to be promising, the authors wrote that it is still a work in progress and its implications in neuroscience should be looked at as a great opportunity. For instance, deep RL provides an agent-based framework for studying the way that reward shapes representation, and how representation, in turn, shapes learning and decision making — two issues which together span a large swath of what is most central to neuroscience. Check the paper here.
This should be of interest to the @braingel group and others interested in the intersections of AI and neuroscience.

move away from viewing AI systems as passive tools that can be assessed purely through their technical architecture, performance, and capabilities. They should instead be considered as active actors that change and influence their environments and the people and machines around them.
Agents don't have free will but they are influenced by their surroundings, making it hard to predict how they will respond, especially in real-world contexts where interactions are complex and can't be controlled.

Help is coming in the form of specialized AI processors that can execute computations more efficiently and optimization techniques, such as model compression and cross-compilation, that reduce the number of computations needed. But it’s not clear what the shape of the efficiency curve will look like. In many problem domains, exponentially more processing and data are needed to get incrementally more accuracy. This means – as we’ve noted before – that model complexity is growing at an incredible rate, and it’s unlikely processors will be able to keep up. Moore’s Law is not enough. (For example, the compute resources required to train state-of-the-art AI models has grown over 300,000x since 2012, while the transistor count of NVIDIA GPUs has grown only ~4x!) Distributed computing is a compelling solution to this problem, but it primarily addresses speed – not cost.

At any rate, if CSHW can be used to build a good quantitative model of human-human interactions, it might also be possible to replicate these dynamics in human-computer interactions. This could take a weak form, such as building computer systems with a similar-enough interactional syntax to humans that some people could reach entrainment with it; affective computing done right.

The current public dialog about these issues too often uses “AI” as an intellectual wildcard, one that makes it difficult to reason about the scope and consequences of emerging technology. Let us begin by considering more carefully what “AI” has been used to refer to, both recently and historically.
This emerging field is often hidden under the label AI, which makes it difficult to reason about.

Thus, just as humans built buildings and bridges before there was civil engineering, humans are proceeding with the building of societal-scale, inference-and-decision-making systems that involve machines, humans and the environment. Just as early buildings and bridges sometimes fell to the ground — in unforeseen ways and with tragic consequences — many of our early societal-scale inference-and-decision-making systems are already exposing serious conceptual flaws.
Analogous to the collapse of early bridges and building, before the maturation of civil engineering, our early society-scale inference-and-decision-making systems break down, exposing serious conceptual flaws.

The Globe and Mail reports that Element AI sold for less than $500 million USD. This would place the purchase price well below the estimated valuation that the Montréal startup was said to have after its $200 million CAD Series B round in September 2019.
This was a downround for them in a sense that eventhough they sold for USD$500M their post-money round in Sep 2019 was CAD$200M meaning that they did not improve on their valuation after one year. Why?
-
Despite being seen as a leader and a rising star in the Canadian AI sector, Element AI faced difficulties getting products to market.
They had faced productisastion problems, just like many other AI startups.It looks like they have GTM problems too,
-
Element AI had more than 500 employees, including 100 PhDs.
500 employees is indeed large. A 100-person team of PhDs is very large as well, They could probably tackle many difficult AI Problems!
-
n 2017, the startup raised what was then a historic $137.5 million Series A funding round from a group of notable investors including Intel, Microsoft, National Bank of Canada, Development Bank of Canada (BDC), NVIDIA, and Real Ventures.
This was indeed a historic amonunt raised! Probably because of Yoshua Bengio one of the god fathers of AI!

AI is not analogous to the big science projects of the previous century that brought us the atom bomb and the moon landing. AI is a science that can be conducted by many different groups with a variety of different resources, making it closer to computer design than the space race or nuclear competition. It doesn’t take a massive government-funded lab for AI research, nor the secrecy of the Manhattan Project. The research conducted in the open science literature will trump research done in secret because of the benefits of collaboration and the free exchange of ideas.
AI research is not analogous to space research or an arms race.
It can be conducted by different groups with a variety of different resources. Research conducted in the open is likely to do better because of the benefits of collaboration.

Facebook AI is introducing M2M-100, the first multilingual machine translation (MMT) model that can translate between any pair of 100 languages without relying on English data. It’s open sourced here. When translating, say, Chinese to French, most English-centric multilingual models train on Chinese to English and English to French, because English training data is the most widely available. Our model directly trains on Chinese to French data to better preserve meaning. It outperforms English-centric systems by 10 points on the widely used BLEU metric for evaluating machine translations. M2M-100 is trained on a total of 2,200 language directions — or 10x more than previous best, English-centric multilingual models. Deploying M2M-100 will improve the quality of translations for billions of people, especially those that speak low-resource languages. This milestone is a culmination of years of Facebook AI’s foundational work in machine translation. Today, we’re sharing details on how we built a more diverse MMT training data set and model for 100 languages. We’re also releasing the model, training, and evaluation setup to help other researchers reproduce and further advance multilingual models.
Summary of the 1st AI model from Facebook that translates directly between languages (not relying on English data)

Google’s novel response has been to compare each app to its peers, identifying those that seem to be asking for more than they should, and alerting developers when that’s the case. In its update today, Google says “we aim to help developers boost the trust of their users—we surface a message to developers when we think their app is asking for a permission that is likely unnecessary.”
