… In this respect, Nvidia may help shape AI competition between the US and China by providing a US-made alternative to open-weight Chinese models. “We're an American company, but we work with companies across the world,” Catanzaro says. “It's in our interest to make the ecosystem diverse and strong e… …
… Meta recruited Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale, an AI training company, to lead its AI efforts after investing $14.3 billion in the company. Meta also published a document outlining its vision for safely scaling AI models to superhuman levels of performance. …
… But the model’s main selling point is its ability to generate images much faster than all of those models. …
… Alexander Kirillov, a founding team member of Thinking Machines and an expert on multimodal AI, meaning models that handle audio and video as well as text, says the lab’s new interaction models also have the potential to enable more customized and personalized AI. “The model constantly perceives wh… …
… OpenAI says that the initiative fits into its broader security efforts, including an application security AI agent launched last month known as Codex Security, a cybersecurity grants program that began in 2023, a recent donation to the Linux Foundation to support open source security, and the “Prep… …
… Tobac says AI is especially good at automating the research required to identify good targets. “I wouldn’t say that AI has made attacks more convincing, but it has made it easier for one person to scale attacks,” she says. “The kill chain is getting entirely automated.” As AI models become more cap… …
… Beyond the early-access framework, the order directs the Pentagon to shore up its classified networks within 30 days and directs the Justice Department to bring criminal cases against people who use AI models to hack computer systems.
… The program, called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, has been the main clearinghouse for the US government for testing and evaluating frontier AI models, without implementing formal preapproval requirements. …
… Rather, in his view, these AI models are simply the tech industry’s latest promising trend, and their success has created a “kind of delusion” among the people who build them. “It's true that LLMs are becoming really good at generating code, and it's true that they are probably going to become even… …
… It defines a frontier model as any AI model trained using more than $100 million in computational costs, which likely could apply to America’s largest AI labs, like OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta. “We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk … …
