According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role.

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities.

I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division.

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction.

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division.

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence.

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction.

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence.

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities.

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries.

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away.

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>.

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NVIDIA, this will allow enterprises to use their proprietary data for easy and customizable generative AI. \u201cProject Helix gives enterprises purpose-built AI models to more quickly and securely gain value from the immense amounts of data underused today,\u201d<\/em> said Jeff Clarke<\/a>, vice chairman and co-chief operating officer, of Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any validated design funnelled through the Project Helix initiative will be available from July 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Project Helix; Dell And NVIDIA\u2019s Joint Initiative To Streamline Generative AI For On-Premise Applications","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-project-helix-dell-and-nvidias-joint-initiative-to-streamline-generative-ai-for-on-premise-applications","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12865","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12774,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:52:28","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:28","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

With hundreds of large language models (LLMs) available for businesses to create their own AI tools, NVIDIA has focused on providing a platform to streamline the whole process, making it easier for companies to adopt customized AI. NVIDIA has collaborated with several leading AI companies such as Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo to provide the necessary infrastructure for such endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA claims the AI Workbench will be made available for early access soon. Interested parties can sign up through their website for notifications.<\/p>\n","post_title":"NVIDIA Announces \u201cAI Workbench\u201d; A New Platform for Building Generative AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nvidia-announces-ai-workbench-a-new-platform-for-building-generative-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:05","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13030","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12906,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:08:10","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:10","post_content":"\n


A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNVIDIA AI Workbench provides a simplified path for cross-organizational teams to create the AI-based applications that are increasingly becoming essential in modern business.\u201d<\/em>, said Manuvir Das, vice president of enterprise computing at NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hundreds of large language models (LLMs) available for businesses to create their own AI tools, NVIDIA has focused on providing a platform to streamline the whole process, making it easier for companies to adopt customized AI. NVIDIA has collaborated with several leading AI companies such as Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo to provide the necessary infrastructure for such endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA claims the AI Workbench will be made available for early access soon. Interested parties can sign up through their website for notifications.<\/p>\n","post_title":"NVIDIA Announces \u201cAI Workbench\u201d; A New Platform for Building Generative AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nvidia-announces-ai-workbench-a-new-platform-for-building-generative-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:05","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13030","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12906,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:08:10","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:10","post_content":"\n


A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> from NVIDIA, the AI Workbench is an easy-to-use toolkit to help businesses and enterprises rapidly build, test, and deploy custom generative AI tools using proprietary data. The business can then scale the AI to any data center, including NVIDIA DGX Cloud, with the help of a PC or a mobile workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNVIDIA AI Workbench provides a simplified path for cross-organizational teams to create the AI-based applications that are increasingly becoming essential in modern business.\u201d<\/em>, said Manuvir Das, vice president of enterprise computing at NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hundreds of large language models (LLMs) available for businesses to create their own AI tools, NVIDIA has focused on providing a platform to streamline the whole process, making it easier for companies to adopt customized AI. NVIDIA has collaborated with several leading AI companies such as Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo to provide the necessary infrastructure for such endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA claims the AI Workbench will be made available for early access soon. Interested parties can sign up through their website for notifications.<\/p>\n","post_title":"NVIDIA Announces \u201cAI Workbench\u201d; A New Platform for Building Generative AI","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nvidia-announces-ai-workbench-a-new-platform-for-building-generative-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:05","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13030","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12906,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:08:10","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:10","post_content":"\n


A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities.

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs.

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

American tech giant NVIDIA recently announced a new platform for developing and deploying generative AI called \u201cAI Workbench\u201d. The news came during the ongoing SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques) conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> from NVIDIA, the AI Workbench is an easy-to-use toolkit to help businesses and enterprises rapidly build, test, and deploy custom generative AI tools using proprietary data. The business can then scale the AI to any data center, including NVIDIA DGX Cloud, with the help of a PC or a mobile workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNVIDIA AI Workbench provides a simplified path for cross-organizational teams to create the AI-based applications that are increasingly becoming essential in modern business.\u201d<\/em>, said Manuvir Das, vice president of enterprise computing at NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hundreds of large language models (LLMs) available for businesses to create their own AI tools, NVIDIA has focused on providing a platform to streamline the whole process, making it easier for companies to adopt customized AI. NVIDIA has collaborated with several leading AI companies such as Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo to provide the necessary infrastructure for such endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Helix offers full-stack solutions and ready-made tools using the combined infrastructure and software from Dell and NVIDIA. The project promises to support businesses through developing generative AI, from modelling and training to deployment and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

The \"Custom Instructions\" feature is now accessible to free users to get better control over how ChatGPT responds to their commands. Various industries previously used it for sales and marketing. Only ChatGPT plus members had access to this feature when it was introduced in July for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChatGPT will consider your custom instructions for every conversation going forward. The model will consider the instructions every time it responds, so you won\u2019t have to repeat your preferences or information in every conversation<\/em>.\u201d OpenAI Announcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature is currently unavailable in the UK and EU, but the company has announced plans to make it accessible to users in those regions soon. This feature can be a game-changer for businesses looking to expand their reach or enhance their marketing efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits Of This Feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The feature saves users' time by excluding the repetitive task of rewriting instructions for every interaction with the chatbot. Users can choose the tone of response depending on their requirements. They can also limit the number of words in response, i.e. while writing emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can also give instructions to ChatGPT<\/a> to act as a specific occupation to get relevant responses. It can also customize the content to suit diverse audiences. Software developers can also use this for coding with specific prompts.<\/p>\n","post_title":"ChatGPT's \u201cCustom Instructions\u201d Feature Now Available For Free Users","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"chatgpts-custom-instructions-feature-now-available-for-free-users","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-25 00:52:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:52:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13042","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13030,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-10 23:19:43","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-10 13:19:43","post_content":"\n

American tech giant NVIDIA recently announced a new platform for developing and deploying generative AI called \u201cAI Workbench\u201d. The news came during the ongoing SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques) conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release<\/a> from NVIDIA, the AI Workbench is an easy-to-use toolkit to help businesses and enterprises rapidly build, test, and deploy custom generative AI tools using proprietary data. The business can then scale the AI to any data center, including NVIDIA DGX Cloud, with the help of a PC or a mobile workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNVIDIA AI Workbench provides a simplified path for cross-organizational teams to create the AI-based applications that are increasingly becoming essential in modern business.\u201d<\/em>, said Manuvir Das, vice president of enterprise computing at NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hundreds of large language models (LLMs) available for businesses to create their own AI tools, NVIDIA has focused on providing a platform to streamline the whole process, making it easier for companies to adopt customized AI. NVIDIA has collaborated with several leading AI companies such as Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo to provide the necessary infrastructure for such endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent financial giant Goldman Sachs report<\/a> suggests a global investment in new technology will surge. Within the next two years, AI-related investment might reach $200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Generative AI has enormous economic potential and could boost global labor productivity by more than 1 percentage point a year in the decade following widespread usage,\u201d <\/em>the report states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that AI investment might reach $100 billion in the U.S. and $200 billion globally by 2025. However, the near-term GDP impact is expected to be \"fairly modest\"<\/em> due to AI-related investment being a small share of the global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in AI will be concentrated in four key sectors: AI model development, infrastructure supply, AI software creation, and enterprise end-users. Economists expect increased spending on AI software and hardware for model training and queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortune 500 CEO Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 American Business survey, only 4% of US companies currently utilize AI. CEO surveys indicate that 22% anticipate generative AI's impact on their company's labor requirements in the next three years. However, most expect to integrate AI within the next three to ten years. AI adoption may begin significantly affecting the US economy between 2025 and 2030 if these predictions hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Goldman Sachs Research sees early AI adoption in a few industries, but broader macro effects are years away. Past technology breakthroughs, like electric motors and personal computers, took time to impact the economy significantly. These innovations needed about half of U.S. businesses to adopt them before results showed up in the macro data. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Goldman Sachs Forecasts AI Investments To Reach $200 Billion By 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"goldman-sachs-forecasts-ai-investments-to-reach-200-billion-by-2025","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:08:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:08:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12906","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12897,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-08-05 15:07:32","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:32","post_content":"\n

GoStudent<\/a>, A virtual learning platform, has raised a significant amount of $95 million named as a Strategic Fundraise from different sources. (Deutsche Bank, Left Lane Capital, DN Capital, Tencent, Prosus, DST, Coatue, and Softbank Vision Fund 2). This fundraiser was a combination of both equity and debt capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see daily the impact that tailored learning can have on a child\u2019s confidence. By offering AI-driven study support or virtual reality lessons in group environments, alongside traditional tutoring, a truly bespoke learning path can be created for each child \u2013 readying them for their future,\u201d<\/em> said Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental goal of this concept is not to replace tutors but help them save time. Currently, GoStudent has 23,000 tutors on its platform and has announced its intention to develop an \"AI Lesson Plan Generator\"<\/em> to save tutors a significant 15 minutes per lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs GoStudent doubles down on its existing VR capabilities, introduces smart AI tools, and drives synergies with Studienkreis, we see even further potential to complete its vision of hybrid offline and online tutoring,\u201d<\/em> said Harley Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent and Studienkreis<\/a> now provide tailored learning packages to families in Austria and Germany. These packages are designed to suit each child's individual learning style and needs. Students can access various learning options, including GoStudent's recently launched virtual reality language learning platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoStudent\u2019s recent funding will enable it to further expand its presence in the edtech industry<\/a>. By utilizing VR and AI-enhanced solutions, the company can effectively cater to the changing demands of students and educators in the DACH region.<\/p>\n","post_title":"GoStudent Raises Additional $95 Million To Target VR And AI-Enhanced Tutoring","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"gostudent-raises-additional-95-million-to-target-vr-and-ai-enhanced-tutoring","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-05 15:07:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-05 05:07:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12877,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:27:41","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:41","post_content":"\n

A new report <\/a>by cybersecurity firm SlashNext indicates that AI-generated cybercrime is rising. Following the discovery of WormGPT, dark web tools have emerged, further exacerbating the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT is just the beginning of a range of AI tools cybercriminals plan to use. FraudGPT can generate phishing web pages, and create malicious code, hacking tools, and scam letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers from SlashNext communicated with a pseudonymous person called CanadianKingpin12 using Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our investigation, we took on the role of a potential buyer to dig deeper into CanadianKingpin12 and their product, FraudGPT,\u201d<\/em> SlashNext said. \u201cOur main objective was to assess whether FraudGPT outperformed WormGPT in terms of technological capabilities and effectiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team received unexpected information during their interaction with the seller, who was demonstrating FraudGPT. The seller revealed upcoming AI chatbots, DarkBart and DarkBert, with internet access and integration with Google Lens, enabling text and image communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's Not What You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SlashNext points out that S2W initially created DarkBert as a legitimate cybercrime-fighting tool. But criminals have now repurposed it for illicit purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanadianKingpin12 informed researchers that DarkBert can aid in sophisticated social engineering attacks. It can exploit computer system vulnerabilities, and distribute various types of malware, including ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ChatGPT has guardrails in place to protect against unlawful or nefarious use cases,\"<\/em> David Schwed, COO at blockchain security firm Halborn, previously told Decrypt on Telegram. \"WormGPT and FraudGPT don\u2019t have those guardrails, so you can ask them to develop malware for you.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


SlashNext recommends that companies take a proactive approach to cybersecurity training and implement improved email verification measures to protect against AI-generated cybercrime tools.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Hackers Harness AI To Execute Advanced Cyber Attacks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hackers-harness-ai-to-execute-advanced-cyber-attacks","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-03 15:27:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:27:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12877","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-08-03 15:26:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-03 05:26:45","post_content":"\n

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, two leading tech companies from America, have launched a joint initiative to help businesses and startups build on-premise AI models. This venture comes after the rapid development of generative AI technologies, as many companies seek to use them to enhance their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDell Technologies and NVIDIA announce a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models on-premises to quickly and securely deliver better customer service, market intelligence, enterprise search, and a range of other capabilities\u201d,<\/em> said NVIDIA in a press release<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix's AI product manager job<\/a>, which pays up to $900K, sparked a backlash from critics and the entertainment industry. The new position would be part of the Machine Learning Platform team at Netflix. It creates an algorithm that recommends new shows to viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intercept reported<\/a> a job listing on Tuesday, for applicants with experience in ML and AI, listed on the Netflix job page. WGA and SAG-AFTRA are worried about the unprotected AI in AMPTP's contract offer. But studios continue to invest more in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing strike <\/a>by members of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild is a measure to safeguard against the threat posed by artificial intelligence. Netflix is not the only film studio in Hollywood to invest in AI-generated content. The Intercept reports that Disney has hired a senior AI engineer to spearhead innovation. It helped them in their cinematic pipelines and theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Don't Actors Adopt AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c$900k\/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,\u201d<\/em> said actor Rob Delaney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Intercept,\u00a0\u201cHaving been poor and rich in this business, I can assure you there\u2019s enough money to go around; it\u2019s just about priorities. AI isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just that the workers (me) need to own and control the means of production. My melodious voice? My broad shoulders and dancer\u2019s undulating buttocks? I decide how those are used. Not a board of VC angel investor scumbags meeting in a Sun Valley conference room between niacin IV cocktails or whatever they do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Netflix unveiled its latest app, \"My Netflix\", designed to be a personalized hub with convenient shortcuts to simplify selecting content to watch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Overlooks Hollywood Strikes, And Advertises $900k AI Job","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-overlooks-hollywood-strikes-and-advertises-900k-ai-job","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:52:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:52:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12774","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12782,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-31 13:51:07","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:07","post_content":"\n

During the second week of the joint SAG-AFTRA\/WGA strike, Netflix is actively recruiting AI developers for its R&D Labs and Machine Learning division. The move comes amid discussions surrounding the use of AI in film and TV production. The positions being sought are Product Manager and Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are creating a new product management role to increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform,\u201d<\/em> Netflix said in the job posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Director and Product Manager roles, based at Netflix's Los Gatos, CA headquarters, offer substantial six-figure salaries. The Product Manager<\/a> has a salary range between $300,000 to $900,000 and $450,000 to $650,000 for the Technical Director<\/a> role. These positions can also be performed remotely, as per Netflix's announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Netflix, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your personal top of the market,\u201d <\/em>Netflix said. \u201cWe rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Usage in Film Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both writers and actors in Hollywood are worried about AI's impact. Writers fear losing jobs to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. While actors are concerned about their likenesses being scanned for background roles, potentially leading to indefinite use without fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The job posting indicates a strong demand for AI and machine learning expertise. Experience in game design and machine learning is required, but a college degree is not specified.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Netflix Stands Firm On AI Hiring Amid Industry-Wide Strike","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"netflix-stands-firm-on-ai-hiring-amid-industry-wide-strike","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-31 13:51:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12782","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12739,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:49","post_content":"\n

According to Reuters,<\/a> US Senators from both Democratic and Republican parties expressed deep concern on AI. On Tuesday, they highlighted the potential malevolent applications of artificial intelligence. Their focus was specifically on the risk of exploiting AI to orchestrate a biological attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI might assist unskilled malicious individuals in creating biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Certain steps in bio-weapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise,\" <\/em>said Amodei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, worked with biosecurity experts to study biological risks arising from AI.\u00a0He said, AI's not yet capable of helping build a biological weapon but \"can fill in some of these gaps.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By empowering numerous actors to conduct extensive biological attacks, he believes this represents \"a grave threat to U.S. national security.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators' Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Democratic Subcommittee Chair Richard Blumenthal expressed deep concern, saying, \"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction. This hearing aims to set the foundation for legislation, transitioning from general principles to actionable recommendations, and crafting laws based on this hearing.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Josh Hawley advocated for protective measures that guarantee the positive impact of this new technology on the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing follows AI firms like OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, making voluntary commitments to enhance AI safety.<\/p>\n","post_title":"US Senators Join Forces To Address AI's Biological Attack Concerns","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"us-senators-join-forces-to-address-ais-biological-attack-concerns","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12739","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12737,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-07-27 16:28:22","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:22","post_content":"\n

In response to the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, American President Joe Biden announced new guidelines for the safe development of AI technology.\u00a0In a press release<\/a> from the White House, President Biden revealed that 7 of the leading companies in Artificial Intelligence have committed to this guideline for safe AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 8 measures have been included in this guideline. This includes watermarking AI content and using independent experts to test the safety limits of a new AI technology. Among the companies to agree on these measures are Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - all of which are industry leaders in AI and based in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the potential risk<\/a> such technology poses, President Biden said, \u201cWe must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging technologies can pose,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the commitment to the guideline is voluntary and not legally binding, the president believes this to be an integral step in ensuring cyber security. \u201cThese commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together.\u201d<\/em>, said President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement is seen as a necessary first step in implementing proper regulations for AI development worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"White House Announces AI Safety Guidelines; Leading Tech Companies Pledge Their Commitment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"white-house-announces-ai-safety-guidelines-leading-tech-companies-pledge-their-commitment","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-27 16:28:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-27 06:28:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12737","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};
