The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services. The company expects a more widespread distribution sometime this year. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Forays Into The World Of Generative AI With Amazon Bedrock","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-forays-into-the-world-of-generative-ai-with-amazon-bedrock","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-18 23:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-18 13:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10985","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10917,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-13 16:49:08","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-13 06:49:08","post_content":"\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market.

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market.

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple.

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services. The company expects a more widespread distribution sometime this year. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Forays Into The World Of Generative AI With Amazon Bedrock","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-forays-into-the-world-of-generative-ai-with-amazon-bedrock","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-18 23:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-18 13:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10985","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10917,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-13 16:49:08","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-13 06:49:08","post_content":"\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous.

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services. The company expects a more widespread distribution sometime this year. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Forays Into The World Of Generative AI With Amazon Bedrock","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-forays-into-the-world-of-generative-ai-with-amazon-bedrock","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-18 23:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-18 13:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10985","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10917,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-13 16:49:08","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-13 06:49:08","post_content":"\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market.

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple.

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services. The company expects a more widespread distribution sometime this year. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Forays Into The World Of Generative AI With Amazon Bedrock","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-forays-into-the-world-of-generative-ai-with-amazon-bedrock","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-18 23:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-18 13:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10985","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10917,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-13 16:49:08","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-13 06:49:08","post_content":"\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chatbot is intended to be a facilitation tool and not to provide any form of specific advice. Binance Sensei uses machine learning to source answers from a vast database of information. It makes it an efficient and accurate tool for educating users about decentralized finance<\/a> (DeFi) and other crypto-related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple.

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance, the popular cryptocurrency exchange, has recently announced <\/a>the launch of\u00a0Binance Sensei. Sensei is an AI-powered chatbot for its\u00a0Binance Academy that will help users enhance their Web3 learning experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the buzz around AI and cryptocurrency continues to grow, it was inevitable that the two worlds would collide. Binance Sensei is designed to enhance user engagement with educational content using OpenAI's ChatGPT, providing relevant and easily digestible information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBinance strives to be at the forefront of innovation, making sure our users have access to the newest and most innovative technologies,\u201d <\/em>a company spokesperson tells Decrypt. \u201cAs this new technology became available, we integrated a ChatGPT-driven tool allowing users to seamlessly navigate the vast world of blockchain and crypto education.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance, the popular cryptocurrency exchange, has recently announced <\/a>the launch of\u00a0Binance Sensei. Sensei is an AI-powered chatbot for its\u00a0Binance Academy that will help users enhance their Web3 learning experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the buzz around AI and cryptocurrency continues to grow, it was inevitable that the two worlds would collide. Binance Sensei is designed to enhance user engagement with educational content using OpenAI's ChatGPT, providing relevant and easily digestible information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBinance strives to be at the forefront of innovation, making sure our users have access to the newest and most innovative technologies,\u201d <\/em>a company spokesperson tells Decrypt. \u201cAs this new technology became available, we integrated a ChatGPT-driven tool allowing users to seamlessly navigate the vast world of blockchain and crypto education.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous tech companies are now exploring ways to utilize GPT-4, the latest model of ChatGPT, to deliver better and more efficient customer support, among other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them is Chegg, an educational technology company that offers online learning services through its platform, Chegg Study. Chegg Study offers various services, including textbook rentals, online tutoring, and study support.

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ChatGPT plugin will allow users to check \"wallet balances, transfer tokens, and purchase NFTs once ChatGPT plugins are available\".<\/em>\u00a0According to a tweet <\/a>by Solana Labs last April 25, \"developers who want to test this out and launch their own version can dig into the code<\/a>\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance, the popular cryptocurrency exchange, has recently announced <\/a>the launch of\u00a0Binance Sensei. Sensei is an AI-powered chatbot for its\u00a0Binance Academy that will help users enhance their Web3 learning experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the buzz around AI and cryptocurrency continues to grow, it was inevitable that the two worlds would collide. Binance Sensei is designed to enhance user engagement with educational content using OpenAI's ChatGPT, providing relevant and easily digestible information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBinance strives to be at the forefront of innovation, making sure our users have access to the newest and most innovative technologies,\u201d <\/em>a company spokesperson tells Decrypt. \u201cAs this new technology became available, we integrated a ChatGPT-driven tool allowing users to seamlessly navigate the vast world of blockchain and crypto education.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chatbot is intended to be a facilitation tool and not to provide any form of specific advice. Binance Sensei uses machine learning to source answers from a vast database of information. It makes it an efficient and accurate tool for educating users about decentralized finance<\/a> (DeFi) and other crypto-related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More To AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solana blockchain users will soon be able to interact with the network through an open-source plugin. This plugin is enabled on OpenAI's artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ChatGPT plugin will allow users to check \"wallet balances, transfer tokens, and purchase NFTs once ChatGPT plugins are available\".<\/em>\u00a0According to a tweet <\/a>by Solana Labs last April 25, \"developers who want to test this out and launch their own version can dig into the code<\/a>\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A screenshot below shows that ChatGPT can retrieve a list of NFTs owned by a given Solana address. Attached is a metadata link to the NFT, presumably from the Solana Labs Block Explorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the tweet with the ChatGPT plugin, Solana Foundation announces <\/a>a \"$1m fund for small-scale grants exploring the intersection of the Solana blockchain and AI\"<\/em>. The foundation added that \"the grants range from $5k to $25k, and both new and existing projects are eligible\"<\/em>. This movement will support developers who are interested in AI and Solana blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Solana's adoption of AI to assist in the development of the crypto ecosystem, Binance announced<\/a> yesterday the launch of Sensei, a ChatGPT-powered chatbot to assist in crypto education.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Solana Labs' ChatGPT Plugin Enables AI To\u00a0Fetch Blockchain Data","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"solana-labs-chatgpt-plugin-enables-ai-to-fetch-blockchain-data","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 14:57:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 04:57:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11201","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11177,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-26 15:00:37","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-26 05:00:37","post_content":"\n

Binance, the popular cryptocurrency exchange, has recently announced <\/a>the launch of\u00a0Binance Sensei. Sensei is an AI-powered chatbot for its\u00a0Binance Academy that will help users enhance their Web3 learning experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the buzz around AI and cryptocurrency continues to grow, it was inevitable that the two worlds would collide. Binance Sensei is designed to enhance user engagement with educational content using OpenAI's ChatGPT, providing relevant and easily digestible information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBinance strives to be at the forefront of innovation, making sure our users have access to the newest and most innovative technologies,\u201d <\/em>a company spokesperson tells Decrypt. \u201cAs this new technology became available, we integrated a ChatGPT-driven tool allowing users to seamlessly navigate the vast world of blockchain and crypto education.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chatbot is intended to be a facilitation tool and not to provide any form of specific advice. Binance Sensei uses machine learning to source answers from a vast database of information. It makes it an efficient and accurate tool for educating users about decentralized finance<\/a> (DeFi) and other crypto-related topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern.

Recently, there has been a surge in companies developing AI services utilizing ChatGPT's powerful language model. Some notable examples include Dr. Gupta<\/a>, an AI chatbot designed for healthcare, and CheggMate<\/a>, an AI-based online tutoring platform. These innovations demonstrate the growing potential of AI and how it can be utilized across various industries to improve and enhance existing services.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Binance Introduces\u00a0'Sensei', A ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot To Enhance Crypto Education","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"binance-introduces-sensei-a-chatgpt-powered-chatbot-to-enhance-crypto-education","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:04:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:04:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11177","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11162,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-25 01:11:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-24 15:11:45","post_content":"\n

Dr Gupta, an AI chatbot backed by Martin Shkreli, has been launched as \"Your Virtual Health Companion\"<\/em>. After being banned from the pharmaceutical industry, Shkreli has now moved to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta<\/a> takes its name from the underlying technology powering the bot, ChatGPT. OpenAI's technology has created various new AI bots, Dr Gupta uses a modified version that can understand complicated medical questions. Dr Gupta can also enhance its answers by users providing their medical information such as; age, weight, height, temperature, heart rate, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gupta allows 10 free messages a month. After that, there is a single paid option for $20\/month which gives full access to the site, unlimited messages, early access to new features, and an ad-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reshaping The Health Care Information Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter Spaces where Shkreli was a participant led to more details relating to the project. Shkreli said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We want to be the replacement for all health care information at the very least, and ideally some of the care as well,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accuracy of AI is still questionable. OpenAI recognises that ChatGPT, the underlying technology powering Dr Gupta, can be inaccurate. Shkreli believes it will still take time for some sort of technology like this to replace medical professionals, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, using a technology such as Dr Gupta's to seek medical advice can be dangerous. A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A site disclaimer states that any \"errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies\" caused by using the chatbot for medical advice are due to the person who sought the advice - so the company is not legally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services.

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11078,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-04-20 22:21:21","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-20 12:21:21","post_content":"\n

A TikTok user, Ghostwriter977, published a song called Heart On My Sleeve<\/em> featuring Drake and The Weeknd - the catch, neither of these artists had written or sung the song. It was generated with the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song has been trending on social media, as it is hard to differentiate between the fake and real artists. Although, these claims of AI generation are solely from the TikToker and it is unclear the exact process used to formulate the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universal Music Group (UMG), has called for streaming platforms to ban AI-generated content, as they control ~33% of the global music market. Financial Times reported<\/a> that UMG doesn't want AI companies accessing songs from their catalogues and that they \"will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter to Billboard, UMG stated; \"The training of generative AI using our artists' music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replicating Artists By Training AI Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to the AI-generated song, Roberto Nickson, on Twitter, released a video showing how he trained an AI model to replace his vocals in a song with Kanye West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was done by recording reference vocals and then replacing them with a language model based on a certain musician - it is really that simple. This marks the beginning of a potentially revolutionary technology for music and musicians, and it only gets better from here, for the technology at least - regulation and copyright may limit the endless potential of artificial intelligence in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon has introduced a new tool for building and scaling generative AI applications. This new service, called Amazon Bedrock, aims to provide businesses and developers with a cloud-based and customizable platform for creating their very own AI tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new platform grants Amazon customers access to the latest Foundation Models (FMs) by partnering with notable AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, and Stability AI. Along with third-party FMs, Bedrock users can access Amazon\u2019s proprietary Titan Foundation Models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can utilize these models to create AI-powered applications for performing various tasks. Some of the initial applications involve generating texts, converting texts into images, producing highly responsive chatbots, image classification, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Amazon<\/a>, \u201dBedrock makes the power of FMs accessible to companies of all sizes so that they can accelerate the use of ML across their organizations and build their own generative AI applications because it will be easy for all developers\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Amazon Bedrock Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon believes the service will stand apart in the market thanks to its easy-to-use interface and customization features. Even with relatively small volumes of data, Bedrock will customize the foundation model to suit the particular need of a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Amazon ensures that the data will remain on a customer\u2019s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), meaning the data will be confidential. Amazon Bedrock is currently available on a limited preview on Amazon Web Services. The company expects a more widespread distribution sometime this year. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Forays Into The World Of Generative AI With Amazon Bedrock","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-forays-into-the-world-of-generative-ai-with-amazon-bedrock","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-18 23:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-18 13:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10985","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10917,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-04-13 16:49:08","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-13 06:49:08","post_content":"\n

The launch of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has sparked a new wave of hype around AI. Although, regulators have been called to take action due to scrutiny around the privacy of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of generative AI tools which have followed in the steps of ChatGPT has aroused concern. In an open letter, tools more powerful than OpenAIs ChatGPT-4 were urged to be halted for at least 6 months by various science and technology innovators, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The letter<\/a> currently has over 20,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter calls for AI to be \"developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,\" <\/em>and that \"AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries Start Taking A Step Towards Generative AI Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent consumer alert from the Federal Trade Commission was issued<\/a>, which explained how scammers are enhancing their scams using generative AI, which can hold conversations and replicate voices over the phone. If a family member contacts you, you're urged to clarify that it is them by using stories or personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden had also met with various advisors around science and technology to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI, for individuals and the nation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy had also blocked ChatGPT-4 due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) breaches, alongside privacy rules and age-verification practises around the chatbot. Italy were the first Europeans to criticise products like ChatGPT, but it wasn't the last. Thierry Breton, a European Commissioner for the Internal Market, met with Reuters to discuss risks around these products; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As showcased by ChatGPT, AI solutions can offer great opportunities for businesses and citizens, but can also pose risks. This is why we need a solid regulatory framework to ensure trustworthy AI based on high-quality data,\"<\/em> adding \"There are days when I'm optimistic and moments when I'm pessimistic about how humanity will put AI to use,\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
