Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Calls to rein in the development of ever more powerful AI models are fueling fears over the massive capital outlays in the sector—and the prospect that profits from the promised revolution might not be enough to cover them.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
The United Nations rights chief called Monday for countries and “frontier” artificial intelligence companies to act urgently to rein in a technology he warned posed “unprecedented risks.”The United Nations rights chief called Monday for countries and “frontier” artificial intelligence companies to act urgently to rein in a technology he warned posed “unprecedented risks.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
A new deep-learning architecture could deflect cyberattacks by combining several methods for analyzing network traffic, according to research published in the International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining. The approach addresses a weakness in standard intrusion-detection systems, which struggle with the volume and complexity of modern network traffic.A new deep-learning architecture could deflect cyberattacks by combining several methods for analyzing network traffic, according to research published in the International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining.

MIT researchers have developed a new technique that helps generative artificial intelligence models find solutions to high-stakes problems. In these settings, a plausible answer is not enough: The output often must also satisfy nonnegotiable safety, physical or task-specific requirements, known as hard constraints.MIT researchers have developed a new technique that helps generative artificial intelligence models find solutions to high-stakes problems.

William Overman began his Ph.D. program at Stanford Graduate School of Business at an auspicious moment: just two months before ChatGPT launched publicly in November 2022, exploding the widely held understanding of what machines are capable of.William Overman began his Ph.D. program at Stanford Graduate School of Business at an auspicious moment: just two months before ChatGPT launched publicly in November 2022, exploding the widely held understanding of what machines are capable of.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]
Recently, Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei called for artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including his own, to slow down their work. Sam Altman and Elon Musk, heads of rivals OpenAI and xAI respectively, agreed.Recently, Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei called for artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including his own, to slow down their work.

Russian mathematician Yurii Nesterov was recently awarded the Gauss Prize for outstanding mathematical contributions and his “groundbreaking work” on optimization. The award cited his work on gradient descent methods—and particularly the “efficiency gains [they] provide to AI technologies.”Russian mathematician Yurii Nesterov was recently awarded the Gauss Prize for outstanding mathematical contributions and his “groundbreaking work” on optimization.

Top AI executives say they want to slow the breakneck pace of artificial intelligence development, but competition, U.S. government reluctance and geopolitical factors stand in the way.Top AI executives say they want to slow the breakneck pace of artificial intelligence development, but competition, U.S. government reluctance and geopolitical factors stand in the way.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
New warnings from within the artificial intelligence industry have revived a long-running debate over whether advanced AI could escape human control and ultimately threaten humanity’s survival, and whether the companies developing the technology are doing enough to prevent such a scenario.New warnings from within the artificial intelligence industry have revived a long-running debate over whether advanced AI could escape human control and ultimately threaten humanity’s survival, and whether the companies developing the technology are doing enough to prevent such a scenario.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
