A high-profile legal case has unearthed a trove of internal Meta communications, and one particular document has caught the eye of some AI researchers.This reveals new insights into how models are built and could influence who gets to share in the spoils of this new technology.Buried in these court filings is a description of how Meta researchers used a process called ablation to identify which data helped improve the company’s Llama AI models.Ablation is a medical technique that purposely destroys tissue to improve things like brain function. In AI, it involves removing parts of a system to study how those…

ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, changing the tech world. Generative AI became the top priority for every tech company, and that’s how we ended up with “smart” fridges with built-in AI. Artificial intelligence is being built into everything, sometimes for the hype alone, with products like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini having come a long way since late 2022.As soon as it became clear that genAI would reshape technology, likely leading to advanced AI systems that can do everything humans can do but better and faster, we started seeing worries that AI would negatively impact society and doom scenarios where…

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has warned that society is not ready for human-level artificial intelligence (AI), popularly referred to as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In an interview with Time, Mr Hassabis was quizzed about what keeps him up at night, to which he talked about AGI, which was in the final steps of becoming reality.The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner said AI systems capable of human-level cognitive abilities were only five to ten years away.”For me, it’s this question of international standards and cooperation and also not just between countries, but also between companies and researchers as we…

Ziff Davis, the digital publisher behind tech sites like Mashable, PCMag and Lifehacker, sued OpenAI on Thursday, joining a wave of media companies accusing the artificial intelligence giant of stealing its content.Ziff Davis is one of the largest publishers in the United States, with more than 45 sites globally that together attract an average of 292 million visitors per month, and is among the biggest media companies pressing a claim against OpenAI.(The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied the suit’s claims.)In…

[Submitted on 2 Dec 2021 (v1), last revised 22 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Co-domain Symmetry for Complex-Valued Deep Learning, by Utkarsh Singhal and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:We study complex-valued scaling as a type of symmetry natural and unique to complex-valued measurements and representations. Deep Complex Networks (DCN) extends real-valued algebra to the complex domain without addressing complex-valued scaling. SurReal takes a restrictive manifold view of complex numbers, adopting a distance metric to achieve complex-scaling invariance while losing rich complex-valued information. We analyze complex-valued scaling as a co-domain transformation…

Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has hurt IBM’s profit margin. According to media reports, IBM had 15 of its federal contracts canceled due to DOGE-related cuts during the first quarter of 2025. These cuts amount to $100 million in future payments, per Bloomberg. “We’ve had a handful of contracts, either statement of work, or cancel and on our annualized backlog of over $30 billion in total consulting,” James Kavanaugh, IBM’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) said. He added that this was less than $100 million of backlog over a duration of multiple years. He continued by saying that though…

TESS, launched in 2018, is the first telescope to scan the entire sky for planets by shifting its field-of-view every month.The disintegrating planet, named BD+05 4868 Ab, is one of just four planets of its kind that scientists have discovered.Astronomers said the cause of BD+05 4868 Ab’s rapid disintegration is its proximity to its star — 50 times closer than Earth is to the sun — and its relatively small size.“The planet got so close to its star that the heat started evaporating its surface,“ said Avi Shporer, a collaborator on the discovery and a research scientist at the MIT…

Between 2013 and 2024, global private sector investment in artificial intelligence (AI) has surged, with a few countries leading the charge. Recent data reveals that 12 nations accounted for the bulk of global AI funding during this period, underscoring a growing international race for technological leadership. The United States leads by a wide margin, raising $471 billion—more than the rest of the world combined. China follows with $119 billion, while the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel round out the top five with $28 billion and $15 billion each, respectively.
