What happens when a search engine starts using AI to create results. I asked for how much is a million acre feet, it told me with great conviction that its 325,851 US gallons. No numbnutz, that's ONE acre feet. The answer should have been 325 billion gallons.

Blaming AI for getting your facts wrong will be the modern version of blaming auto-correct for all your typos.

#AI #GenerativeAI

One million acre feet is equal to 325,851 US gallons or 43,560 cubic feet of water. 0 1 One cubic meter is equal to 8.1071318210885E-10 million acre feet, or 26417205124156 gallon [US, liquid]. One cubic mile of water equals 11 trillion gallons, 147.2 billion cubic feet, or 3.38 million acre-feet, and weighs 9.2 trillion pounds (4.6 billion tons). One cubic mile of water flowing at a steady rate of 1 gallon per minute is equivalent to 1,440 gallons per day, 0.00223 cubic foot per second, 192.7 cubic feet per day, or 0.00442 acre-foot of water per day.

In 2019, we published our trusted AI principles (transparency, fairness, responsibility, accountability, and reliability), meant to guide the
development of ethical AI tools. These can apply to any organization investing in AI.
But these principles only go so far if organizations lack an ethical Al practice to operationalize them into the development and adoption of AI technology. A mature ethical AI practice operationalizes its principles or values through responsible product development and deployment - uniting disciplines such as product management, data science, engineering, privacy, legal, user research, design, and accessibility - to mitigate the potential harms and maximize the social benefits of AI. There are models for how organizations can start, mature, and expand these practices, which provide clear roadmaps for how to build the infrastructure for ethical
AI development.
Use zero-party or first-party data
Companies should train generative Al tools using zero-party data - data that customers share proactively - and first-party data, which they collect directly.
Strong data provenance is key to ensuring models are accurate, original, and trusted.
Relying on third-party data, or information obtained from external sources, to train AI tools makes it difficult to ensure that output is accurate.
For example, data brokers may have old data, incorrectly combine data from devices or accounts that don't belong to the same person, and/or make inaccurate inferences based on the data. This applies for our customers when we are grounding the models in their data. So in Marketing Cloud, if the data in a customer's CRM all came from data brokers, the personalization may be wrong.
Ensure there's a human in the loop
Just because something can be automated doesn't mean it should be. Generative AI tools aren't always capable of understanding emotional or business context, or knowing when they're wrong or damaging.
Humans need to be involved to review outputs for accuracy, suss out bias, and ensure models are operating as intended.
More broadly, generative AI should be seen as a way to augment human capabilities and empower communities, not replace or displace them.

#AI #GenerativeAI #IP #Art #Entertainment #ChatBots: "If you’re looking, you can already see AI creeping across the entertainment industry. In gaming, this looks like on-the-fly generated dialogue, with non-player characters replacing scripts and making open-world games almost infinitely playable. In podcasting, it might mean companies that can create Joe Rogan–style long-form interviews between any two people in human history. Missing Succession after the series finale? Simply conjure your own feature film with all the characters, as the venture capitalist Jason Calacanis did recently. “The perfect setup for a movie ... there is no way this is over,” he tweeted shortly after the final episode aired.

Calcanis’s incredulity at the show’s finale is a useful example of what I’ll call Scale Brain: the result of a worldview that looks upon restraint with confusion and sees self-imposed limitations as weakness. This mindset doesn’t care about craft or going out on top—it sees attention and even adoration as resources to mine until they are depleted. There has to be a movie in the works, because eyeballs and money are still on the table. There is content left to make!"

I'm really not saying that #GenerativeAI isn't dangerous. Its effects on society could be profound and it could be used in many ways that could cause a lot of harm: fake news, propaganda, scams, massive redundancies, centralization of monopoly power, impoverishing of human art and information quality...

These are really serious but they're not existential. #LLMs are not the same sort of thing as #GlobalWarming or #nuclearwar

Interesting episode:

I'm a fan of David Runciman, but of course technology isn't his area. So initially I was worried that they were going to entertain the insanity of ascribing human intelligence to #GenerativeAI. Thankfully they were relentless in ridiculing the #TuringTest and the whole concept of #AI "thinking".

However, they still ultimately end up more or less in the "existential threat" camp, which I find odd. I'm gonna see if I can explain why 1/

When I get a moment I’ll check out this report on #GenerativeAI by Genevieve Bell, Jean Burgess, Julian Thomas and Shazia Sadiq

The report was commissioned by Australia’s National Science and Technology Council at the request of the Minister for Industry and Science, the Hon Ed Husic MP in February 2023 and was delivered in March but only published now.

It responds to the questions:

What are the opportunities and risks of applying large language models (LLMs) and multimodal foundation models (MFMs) learning technologies over the next two, five and ten years?

What are some examples of strategies that have been put in place internationally by other advanced economies since the launch of models like ChatGPT to address the potential opportunities and impacts of artificial intelligence (AI)?

Hi #medlibs @medlibs and others interested in AI hype in research methods

Anyone interested in collaborating with me on a letter to the editor saying, actually, no, creating #SystematicReview / #EvidenceSynthesis searches is *not* in fact a task aligned with the capabilities of #generativeAI ?

QUOTE

“In particular, we believe more attention should be given to [using generative AI for] accurately creating search strategies, as these utilize logic and rules (e.g., Boolean operators) and structured language in a way that should be more easily trainable than conversational language.”

There are some techniques that can be used to nudge #GenerativeAI towards outputs that humans will judge to be "more accurate", like RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback). But to be clear, these methods don't make the underlying system any more aware of facts than before: they tweak the output such that it matches our expectations a bit more closely. But this approach has flaws when it comes to constraining those outputs to only present facts.

George White
1 week ago

Several times I have pointed out to folks that #GenerativeAI is almost certainly inappropriate for use in any scenario where factual output is required and they've often countered that they'll "train the model" to fix that. Which won't work, because it's not a quality of data issue.

So-called hallucinations are not an accident, they are the only things these systems can produce. Nothing they generate is more or less true. Every output is a hallucination, but some are obviously so.

#USA #AI #Regulation #GenerativeAI #Chatbots: "Wu, now back at Columbia Law School, has been meeting in recent weeks with officials at the White House, the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill — including the office of Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) — to lay out his vision for how to regulate AI.

In a wide-ranging interview last week, Wu said he’s concerned the AI debate so far has focused “pretty narrowly” on abstract risks posed by the tools rather than concrete harms already underway — and that industry giants are playing too big a role in shaping potential rules.

“There’s a lot of … economic possibility in this moment. … There’s also a lot of possibility for the most powerful technological platforms to become more powerful and more entrenched,” he said.

Wu, an influential voice in discussions around tech regulation, outlined what he thinks officials should do to keep AI in check — and what they should avoid. Here’s a breakdown:"

They want to create a mote so that only they can do the research and productize the #MachineLearning work without taking into account the actual harm that current systems might face. They don't want to solve those problems, only the imaginary problems. Look over there and not here.

It’s nothing to the people who are fighting for their livelihoods right now, but the other day I wrote a filk on a whim for a friend, and realised that I am never again going to have the joy of amusing someone with some silly pastiche sonnet or song I wrote without them thinking I had simply asked an LLM to write it for me, instead of the time I spent finding just the right way to put it together.

Again, it’s a small thing given there are creative professionals with hard-won skills being undercut by unthinking use of generative AI. But damn if some spark in my soul didn’t just sputter out upon that realisation.

Lol. Guess somebody got spanked by the EU.

Sam Altman says #OpenAI "of course" has no plans to leave Europe, reversing a threat to leave the region if it can't comply with the EU's upcoming #AI Act.

What are your favorite articles about #GenerativeAI and #IntellectualProperty?

One I really love is from my colleague Ryan Merkley in Lawfare which really approachably explains some of the backstory on these thorny questions: https://www.lawfareblog.com/ai-generated-works-artists-and-intellectual-property

#AI writing assistants can cause biased thinking in their users according to research conducted by Maurice Jakesch, a doctoral student of information science at Cornell University. #LatentPersuasion

A biased "assistant" was able to influence the arguments made in essays.

#USA #AI #ContentModeration #GenerativeAI #OpenAI #ChatGPT: "Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are testing a provision that protected the tech industry for decades from lawsuits over third-party content.

As applications like ChatGPT and rival products rise in popularity, experts and stakeholders are split on whether and how Section 230 of the Communication Decency Act — a liability shield for internet companies over third-party content — should apply to the new tools.

Ashley Johnson, a senior policy analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation said the “most likely scenario” is if generative AI is challenged in court, it “probably won’t be considered covered by Section 230.”

“It would be very difficult to argue it is content that the platform, or service, or whoever is being sued in this case had no hand in creating if it was their AI platform that generated the content,” Johnson said."

I asked Bing Chat the same question. Answer: dplyr, tidyr, stringr, lubridate, reshape2, data.table, magrittr, and purrr, each with a description, ex:
dplyr: "This package is used for data manipulation and is one of the most popular packages in R. It provides a set of functions that can be used to filter, arrange, group, and summarize data." and data.table: "This package is used for fast data manipulation and is especially useful for large datasets." for data.table
2/2
#rstats #AI #GenerativeAI

There are many R packages that can be used for data wrangling. Some of the most popular ones include:

dplyr: This package is used for data manipulation and is one of the most popular packages in R. It provides a set of functions that can be used to filter, arrange, group, and summarize data.

tidyr: This package is used for data tidying and provides functions for converting data between wide and long formats.

stringr: This package provides functions for working with strings in R.

lubridate: This package provides functions for working with dates and times in R.

reshape2: This package provides functions for reshaping data between wide and long formats.

data.table: This package is used for fast data manipulation and is especially useful for large datasets.

magrittr: This package provides a set of operators that can be used to create more readable code.

purrr: This package provides a set of functions for working with lists and vectors.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I just asked Google Bard: What are the best R packages for wrangling data?
Answer: dplyr, tidyr, data.table, reshape2, and stringr, each with 📦 details. Plus a comment that there are others and you can search CRAN to find more. 1/2

There are many R packages that can be used for data wrangling. Some of the most popular include:

dplyr is a powerful package for data manipulation and transformation. It provides a consistent set of verbs for working with data frames, making it easy to perform common tasks such as filtering, selecting, and summarizing data.
dplyr R package logo
tidyr is a package for tidying data. It provides functions for converting data into a "tidy" format, which is a standard format for storing data that makes it easy to work with.

'No. 10 "acknowledges" existential risk of #AI' declare #TheGuardian

For what's *really* going on I recommend this episode of @onthemedia

https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/episodes/on-the-media-regulate-me

The "existential risk" is a fantasy, and #Altman et al are cynically leveraging the #AIHype to place themselves in a central role for crafting global legislation around #GenerativeAI to enable #OpenAI , #deepmind etc. to craft monopolies. Classic corporate capture.

And the #UK govt (& The Guardian) are falling for it.

So, #generativeAI has landed in #Photoshop beta.

I fed it an image of cherry tree blossom and gave it the prompt: Add a golden eagle perched in this tree

This was the result.

Looking up through the boughs of a cherry tree, dripping with pink blossom, to a clear blue sky.
The same image, altered by Photoshop generative AI. There is indeed something that looks very much like a golden eagle perched in the tree. What's more, the AI has reorganise the background so that flowers that would have been in the way or have been made to appear behind the bird.

It also seemed to understand that this was a scene shot from below, and the appearance of the eagle reflects that.

I might not currently be a scriptwriter (FYI, I wrote an entire feature film script for my final Master's project), but regardless of the kind of writing I'm doing, I can get behind much of the sentiment David Simon (The Wire) has towards using generative AI in creative writing. As he explained in this recent interview with NPR.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...

SIMON: What?

SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...

SIMON: You imagine that?

SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

SHAPIRO: You would rather put a gun in your mouth?

SIMON: I mean, what you're saying to me, effectively, is there's no original way to do anything and...

SHAPIRO: No.

SIMON: Yes, you are.

Note that the training data heavily relies on the Bible and its translations. Lots of bias there.

Meta unveils open-source #AI models it says can identify 4,000+ spoken languages and produce speech for 1,000+ languages, an increase of 40x and 10x respectively.
