“We Or Me” Choices Key AI Rollouts, Executive Survey Findsgetty “PICNIC error” — problem in chair, not in computer – is a longstanding code word deployed by IT leaders and technicians to coyly, cleverly and calmly characterize common tech user foibles. It also applies aptly to organizational woes — especially as companies openly grapple with AI awareness, strategy, rollouts and utilization. A recent KPMG survey of executives at enterprises with over $1 billion in revenue spotlights an intriguing c-suite dynamic that will likely define and determine AI prospects. While 92% of respondents describe their CIO-CFO relationship as collaborative (with 58%…

OpenAI just raised up to $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation — but around $20 billion of its funding comes with very long strings attached.According to information released on Monday by SoftBank, the Japanese conglomerate headed by AI-obsessive Masayoshi Son, its investment is set to come in two separate closings. The amount in one of those depends on OpenAI completing its transition to a for-profit.Here’s how SoftBank sets out the — somewhat convoluted — terms.The first closing would see OpenAI receive $10 billion this month, with funding directed toward its existing for-profit subsidiary, OpenAI Global — no strings attached.…

arXiv:2503.24191v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Content Warning: This paper may contain unsafe or harmful content generated by LLMs that may be offensive to readers. Large Language Models (LLMs) are extensively used as tooling platforms through structured output APIs to ensure syntax compliance so that robust integration with existing softwares like agent systems, could be achieved. However, the feature enabling functionality of grammar-guided structured output presents significant security vulnerabilities. In this work, we reveal a critical control-plane attack surface orthogonal to traditional data-plane vulnerabilities. We introduce Constrained Decoding Attack (CDA), a novel jailbreak class that weaponizes structured output constraints to bypass…

Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community.A research team from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new software tool that makes it easier to design and make cable-driven 3D printed objects. The tool, called Xstrings, can be used to produce a variety of products with embedded actuation, from robotic hands with gripping capabilities to interactive sculptures with animal-like movement.Cable-driven mechanisms are frequently used by engineers to create components that can move fluidly like a human or animal. This movement is generated by pulling…

Current Fellow-in-Residence Adriana Alfaro’s latest scholarly work, “Max Scheler and Charles Taylor on Self-Knowledge: Dispatches from ‘the Swarm’,” was published this month in the edited volume Legacies of Max Scheler, edited by Eric Mohr and J. Edward Hackett. Abstract This chapter explores Max Scheler and Charles Taylor’s respective considerations on self-knowledge. As I try to show, their respective diagnoses of what impairs self-knowledge, as well as their respective conceptions of the self that such knowledge is supposed to disclose, overlap significantly. Still, their prescriptions regarding how to deal with what threatens self-knowledge, so that we can successfully pursue and attain it, are noticeably different, and ultimately revolve around what…

IBM must face a former worker’s charge that it discriminated against him for being a White male, a Michigan district court judge determined Wednesday (Dill v. International Business Machines Corp.). The former employee in IBM’s consulting division alleged that despite consistently positive reviews, the company suddenly placed him on a performance improvement plan in July 2023 and then terminated him in October. He contended the reasons used — that he was not bringing in work or meeting client…

Energy giant GE Vernova and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology launched a partnership Monday to “scale sustainable energy systems across the globe” and advance breakthrough low-carbon technologies. The company, which helps generate about a quarter of global electricity through its wind and gas turbines, said it would provide $50 million over five years to support 12 projects annually in three areas: renewables, decarbonization and electrification to build the “grid of the future.” The funds also will support research, student fellowships and professional development programs, the company and MIT said. “Through this alliance, we are proud to be able to help…

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Image: Intel Business/YouTube Intel will spin off assets that aren’t part of its core mission, according to Bloomberg. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who became CEO in mid-March after Pat Gelsinger took a heavily encouraged suggestion to retire, made the announcement on March 31 at the Intel Vision conference. Tan did not define the core business or which parts of the business would be affected. Intel will try to expand its core business using AI and Software 2.0, Tan said. Software 2.0 is a term about the way generative AI allows for coding without writing individual lines…

Image: seventyfourimages/Envato Elements The EU is pouring €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) over the next two years to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. The funding will support the development and testing of “immersive environments” to apply in healthcare for purposes like training and virtual patient assessments. The investment will also support the implementation of the AI Act, which ensures all AI systems developed and used in the EU are done so safely and responsibly. Additionally, it will help build energy-efficient digital public digital infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging ports. Many of the generative AI models powering these initiatives will…
