Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients.

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul.

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients.

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B.

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients.

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B.

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use. The model is compatible with many languages including English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Falcon LLM: A New Open Source Large Language Model Set To Rival Google And Meta","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-falcon-llm-a-new-open-source-large-language-model-set-to-rival-google-and-meta","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:09:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:09:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13416","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13408,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:35","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:35","post_content":"\n

Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

  The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

  Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

  Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

    Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

    Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products.

    One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

      Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>.

      However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products.

      The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

      Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

      Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

        Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

        Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

        During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
        • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

          Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

          Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>.

          Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

            Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

            Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

            The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use. The model is compatible with many languages including English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Falcon LLM: A New Open Source Large Language Model Set To Rival Google And Meta","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-falcon-llm-a-new-open-source-large-language-model-set-to-rival-google-and-meta","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:09:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:09:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13416","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13408,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:35","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:35","post_content":"\n

            Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

            Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital.

              Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

              Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

              Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

              Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

                \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>.

                The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

                Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
                • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                  The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                  Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                  Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                  Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                  • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                    Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders.

                    Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>.

                    Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                    Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                    Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                    Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                    • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                      Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders.

                      Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>.

                      Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                      Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                      Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                      The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                      • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                        Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                        Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                        Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                        Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                        Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                        • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                          Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                          Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                          Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                          Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking.

                          Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                          Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

                          Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                          The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                          • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                            Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                            Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                            Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                            Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

                            Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                            • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                              Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                              Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products.

                              The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries.

                              In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                              Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                              Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                              Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                              The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n
                              • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                              • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products.

                                Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                                Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \n
                                • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                  To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                  Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                  The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use. The model is compatible with many languages including English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Falcon LLM: A New Open Source Large Language Model Set To Rival Google And Meta","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-falcon-llm-a-new-open-source-large-language-model-set-to-rival-google-and-meta","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:09:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:09:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13416","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13408,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:35","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:35","post_content":"\n

                                  Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                  Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                                  Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                  Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                  Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                  The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                    The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                                    Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                    Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                    Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                    Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                      Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                                      Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                      The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

                                      Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                      Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                      Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                      Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                      Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                      The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \n
                                      • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                        To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                        Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                                        Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                        The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                                        Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                        Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                        Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                        Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d.

                                        Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                        The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \n
                                        • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                          To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                          Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The AlphaMissense catalog is currently available online for free.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Announces AlphaMissence: An AI Model Designed To Catalog Genetic Mutations And Identify Disease.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-announces-alphamissence-an-ai-model-designed-to-catalog-genetic-mutations-and-identify-disease","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13531","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13454,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-19 22:25:51","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:51","post_content":"\n

                                          Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                          The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use. The model is compatible with many languages including English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Introducing Falcon LLM: A New Open Source Large Language Model Set To Rival Google And Meta","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"introducing-falcon-llm-a-new-open-source-large-language-model-set-to-rival-google-and-meta","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:09:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:09:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13416","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13408,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:35","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:35","post_content":"\n

                                          Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/abuhndrxx\/status\/1677792933721026560\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                                          While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                          Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                          Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                          Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                          Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                          • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                            To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                            Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                            The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Falcon 180B is currently available on Hugging Face for both commercial and research use.

                                            Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                            Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                            Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                            Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                            Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                            The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \n
                                            • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                            • and a map feature called Map View for tracking the status of Amazon-equipped smart homes in the U.S<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                              To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                              Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                              The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                                              Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                              Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                              Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                              Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d.

                                              Several world-renowned novelists have recently banded together and filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the hugely successful ChatGPT. The Lawsuit claims that the company used the works of these writers for training ChatGPT without \u201cpermission or consideration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R. Martin, Jodi Picoult, Jonathan Franzen, and George Saunders have signed on to the lawsuit. This latest lawsuit alleges OpenAI copied the authors\u2019 work \u201cwholesale, without permission or consideration\u201d and used it to train their \u201clarge language models.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The lawsuit is demanding compensation for the damages done to the writers by this \u201cunauthorized use\u201d.<\/p>\n","post_title":"OpenAI Is Being Sued By The Authors Guild Of America: Several Renowned Writers Involved In The Lawsuit.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"openai-is-being-sued-by-the-authors-guild-of-america-several-renowned-writers-involved-in-the-lawsuit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:57:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:57:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13622","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13568,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:55:11","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:55:11","post_content":"\n

                                              Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                              The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \n
                                              • a wall-mounted smart home control panel called Echo Hub<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              • a Fire TV soundbar that integrates with Amazon's Fire TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              • an updated Fire TV Stick with 4K<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              • new Ring cameras<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                                To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                                Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B.

                                                Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>. This is to express concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on people's lives.<\/p>\n","post_title":"AI Exhibits Racial Bias Similar To Humans, Says Experts","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ai-exhibits-racial-bias-similar-to-humans-says-experts","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/2009\/05\/29\/nikon-camera-says-asians-are-always-blinking\/","post_modified":"2023-09-15 22:08:44","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13408","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13353,"post_author":"20","post_date":"2023-09-13 13:07:31","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:31","post_content":"\n

                                                Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                                Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient. SynthID is currently in a beta launch.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google DeepMind Is Testing SynthID: A Watermark Tool For Identifying AI-generated Images","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-deepmind-is-testing-synthid-a-watermark-tool-for-identifying-ai-generated-images","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-09 00:28:43","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13286","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

                                                Several world-renowned novelists have recently banded together and filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the hugely successful ChatGPT. The Lawsuit claims that the company used the works of these writers for training ChatGPT without \u201cpermission or consideration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R.

                                                Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders.

                                                  Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                                  The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                                                  Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                                  Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                                  Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  What's more?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

                                                    Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                                    Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                                    Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                                    Several world-renowned novelists have recently banded together and filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the hugely successful ChatGPT.

                                                    ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                    According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R.

Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Microsoft has extended its intellectual property indemnification coverage to include copyright claims related to the use of its AI-powered assistants named Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise. This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      \"This new commitment extends our existing intellectual property indemnity support to commercial Copilot services and builds on our previous AI Customer Commitments<\/a>. Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                                      The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2.

                                                      Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                                      Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

                                                      Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

                                                        Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

                                                        Several world-renowned novelists have recently banded together and filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the hugely successful ChatGPT.

                                                        ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R.

This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                        Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          To address privacy concerns, Amazon highlighted that the map feature is an \"opt-in\" experience. While specific cybersecurity upgrades were not detailed, Amazon emphasized the importance of trust and security in their product. The company mentioned rigorous security reviews, data encryption, and regular software security updates as part of its security measures to protect devices and customer data. Amazon has also collaborated with third-party security penetration testing firms to enhance security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          This announcement comes after Amazon joined other tech companies in pledging to develop AI responsibly and improve AI model safety and ethics.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Amazon Pushes The Boundaries Of AI With The Latest Product Lineup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"amazon-pushes-the-boundaries-of-ai-with-the-latest-product-lineup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-28 22:56:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:56:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13548","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13531,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-28 22:54:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-28 12:54:55","post_content":"\n

Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval.

Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking.

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital.

The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

                                                          The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Several world-renowned novelists have recently banded together and filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of the hugely successful ChatGPT. The Lawsuit claims that the company used the works of these writers for training ChatGPT without \u201cpermission or consideration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          ChatGPT is an open-source, AI-powered chatbot that can generate texts and conversations based on text prompts. The software uses large language models (LLM) that utilize vast amounts of data such as songs, movies, books, newsletters, blog articles, etc. This has led to accusations regarding copyright and whether the data has been legally acquired. As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R. Martin, Jodi Picoult, Jonathan Franzen, and George Saunders have signed on to the lawsuit.

                                                          The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft\u2019s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products\" <\/em>said company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            \"Microsoft is bullish on the benefits of AI, but, as with any powerful technology, we\u2019re clear-eyed about the challenges and risks associated with it, including protecting creative works,\"<\/em> said Microsoft.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Several lawsuits have been filed against Microsoft over their use of Copilot by authors and visual artists for unauthorized use of their work to train generative models. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Microsoft Announced Legal Protection For Users Experiencing AI Copyright Infringements","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"microsoft-announced-legal-protection-for-users-experiencing-ai-copyright-infringements","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-19 22:25:58","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-19 12:25:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13454","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13416,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-15 22:08:49","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-15 12:08:49","post_content":"\n

                                                            The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a government-funded research establishment based in Abu Dhabi, has recently revealed the latest iteration of their large language model (LLM) series, called Falcon 180B. This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            The inclination of AI to exhibit racial bias has prompted the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) to launch an investigation<\/a>.

                                                            Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                                            Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d.

As a result, OpenAI has faced several lawsuits in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            And in the latest incident, several of America\u2019s top writers have decided to file a lawsuit against the company. The litigations are being led by the \u201cAuthors Guild\u201d, which is America\u2019s largest organization for writers on legal issues and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            According to the Washington Post<\/a>, \u201cBlockbuster writers such as George R.R.

                                                            Amazon unveiled <\/a>its latest products and features that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the Amazon ecosystem and smart home devices. This includes new Amazon Echo devices, frame glasses, and Fire tablets integrated with Amazon's Alexa chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            During its annual Devices event, Amazon emphasized the complexity of connecting generative AI to the real world during the event. Large Language Models (LLMs), which are machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets, must manage a wide range of variations in a customer's home to trigger the right actions with the right APIs. Amazon has developed its own LLM independently of other major AI developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            Generative AI, a technology that uses prompts to make AI generate images or text, gained public attention last year with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Since then, tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been competing to dominate consumer-facing AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                            The presentation also introduced other products, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Google DeepMind, the subsidiary of Google dedicated to researching artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a new tool in the field of genetics. Designated AlphaMissence, this new AI model is capable of cataloging 71 million possible \u201cmissense mutations\" in humans to help in the identification of certain diseases. Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This extension is called the Copilot Copyright Commitment and aims to provide additional protection to users of these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Microsoft has introduced the Copilot Copyright Commitment<\/a> in response to customer concerns. The commitment aims to ease worries about copyright claims when using Copilot services and their output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              However, there's a catch: to qualify for this protection, customers must use the \"guardrails and content filters\" within their products. Generative AI programs, capable of creating text, images, sounds, and other data, have raised concerns over their ability to create content without referencing original authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new and improved AI model can outperform most open-source LLMs and even rivals the LLMs made by industry giants such as Google and Meta, according to various reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              TII has released the Falcon 180B on Hugging Face and has quickly reached the top of its performance list for LLMs. According to the company\u2019s blog post, this model has been trained on 3.5 million tokens and has 180 billion parameters, thus making it one of the most powerful open-source language models out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Experts caution that artificial intelligence (AI) systems incorporate prejudiced inclinations, leading machines to mirror human biases. This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries. Regrettably, the outcomes were met with strong disapproval. Notably, the depiction of the German Barbie<\/a> featured her in a Nazi SS uniform, the South Sudanese Barbie was portrayed holding a firearm, and the Lebanese Barbie<\/a> was situated on \"top of the rubble.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              While this instance may seem relatively minor, it indicates the possibility of more profound and far-reaching consequences as AI technology is applied to a wide range of real-world scenarios. Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Most recently, Google's Vision Cloud wrongly categorized individuals<\/a> with darker skin holding a thermometer as if carrying a \"firearm.\" While those with lighter skin were identified as holding an \"electronic device.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              In 2009, Nikon's facial recognition<\/a> software mistakenly inquired if they were blinking. Then, in 2016, an artificial intelligence application employed by U.S. courts to evaluate the probability of reoffending produced twice as many incorrect identifications<\/a> for black defendants (45%) compared to white ones (23%), as per an analysis by ProPublica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Dereck Paul, a medical student with his friend Graham Ramsey, has introduced a new AI platform to help doctors, nurses, and medical students with diagnosis and clinical decision-making. The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

                                                              Google DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google that focuses on Artificial Intelligence, is testing a new tool for identifying AI-generated images. This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              According to the company\u2019s admission, the technology is not \u201cfoolproof\u201d. However, Google hopes the technology can evolve to be more functional and efficient.

Missense mutations are alterations in a person's DNA that occur randomly and have been implicated in several human diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      \u201cToday, we\u2019re releasing a catalog of \u2018missense\u2019 mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have.\u201d<\/em>, said a blog release by Google DeepMind. \u201cThe AlphaMissense catalog was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      DeepMind claims that the AI program can accurately predict whether a particular mutation will be harmful to a person or not, which will, in turn, \u201caccelerate research across fields from molecular biology to clinical and statistical genetics\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Experts in the field of genetics have pointed out the potential of such a catalog in combating harmful genetic disorders. Writing for Science.org, Dr Jun Cheng and others have noted that AlphaMissense performs better than current \u201cvariant effect predictor\u201d programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital.

The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              \u201cThis model performs exceptionally well in various tasks like reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests, even beating competitors like Meta's LLaMA 2. Among closed source models, it ranks just behind OpenAI's GPT 4, and performs on par with Google's PaLM 2 Large, which powers Bard, despite being half the size of the model.<\/em>\u201d, the company stated in their blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public.

This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concern is particularly worrisome as AI becomes more widely adopted, potentially posing racial bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  A BuzzFeed writer used Midjourney, an AI image generator, to produce Barbie doll representations from different countries.

Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Racial bias way before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Glass Health introduced this AI system<\/a>, named Glass, which looks like ChatGPT<\/a>, and it will provide evidence-based treatment options to consider for patients. The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  In addition, Glass Health can prepare a case assessment paragraph for clinicians to review, complete with explanations about any applicable diagnostic studies. Editing these explanations for clinical notes or sharing them with the Glass Health community is important for a better approach and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Please note that this AI system<\/a> is intended only for medical professionals, even though it is accessible to the public. The tool developed by Glass Health appears to be highly useful in theory, however, even the most advanced LLMs have confirmed their failure to provide effective health advice.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Glass Health Introduces An AI-Powered System For Suggesting Medical Diagnoses","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"glass-health-introduces-an-ai-powered-system-for-suggesting-medical-diagnoses","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-13 13:07:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-13 03:07:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13353","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13286,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-09-09 00:28:26","post_date_gmt":"2023-09-08 14:28:26","post_content":"\n

This is the latest endeavor from the company in a bid to regulate generative AI and to prevent the spread of misinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  In a blog released on the company\u2019s website<\/a>, DeepMind states, \u201cToday, in partnership with Google Cloud, we\u2019re launching a beta version of SynthID, a tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated images..<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  The technology works by embedding a digital watermark to the pixels of the images. Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Addressing the issue of information authenticity, the company states, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhile generative AI can unlock huge creative potential, it also presents new risks, like enabling creators to spread false information \u2014 both intentionally or unintentionally.\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it's not the initial occurrence where AI has been labeled as exhibiting biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea came to Paul when he noticed that medical software innovation was not keeping up with other sectors, like finance and aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      They created Glass Health<\/a> in 2021, which offers physicians a notebook to store and share their diagnostic and treatment approaches throughout their careers. \u201cDuring the pandemic, Ramsey and I witnessed the overwhelming burdens on our healthcare system and the worsening crisis of healthcare provider burnout,\u201d<\/em> said Paul. He added, \u201cI experienced provider burnout firsthand as a medical student on hospital rotations and later as an internal medicine resident physician at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital. Our empathy for frontline providers catalyzed us to create a company committed to fully leveraging technology to improve the practice of medicine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Physicians need to write a description mentioning the patient's age, gender, symptoms, and medical history and this AI will provide a similar clinical plan and prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      \u201cClinicians enter a patient summary, also known as a problem representation, that describes the relevant demographics, past medical history, signs and symptoms, and descriptions of laboratory and radiology findings related to a patient\u2019s presentation, the information they might use to present a patient to another clinician,\u201d<\/em> Paul told \u201cGlass analyzes the patient summary and recommends five to 10 diagnoses that the clinician may want to consider and further investigate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional watermarks, these digital counterparts will be invisible to the naked eye but \u201cdetectable for identification\u201d, the company claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      One of the significant applications of generative AI tools is to create highly detailed, realistic images that are hard to distinguish as fake. This has led to concerns in some sectors about the potential spread of misinformation on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
