Elon Musk has revealed a significant enhancement to Grok AI, highlighting new capabilities in video and image generation. The Tesla and X founder tweeted, “Grok videos can now talk. Major upgrade to image & video generation in a few weeks. This is still early beta.”Elon Musk unveils major Grok AI upgradeMusk shared a post from the DogeDesigner account on X, which demonstrated the feature with an anime character introducing itself, saying, “Welcome to Groke Imagine, my name is Anne.”The announcement signals an expansion of Grok’s creative abilities, moving beyond static images to interactive and dynamic content. Musk described the rollout…

IBM stated that in the future, it will help Chinese enterprises seize the opportunities brought by hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence technologies.”Chinese enterprises are at the forefront of accelerating the large-scale application of AI,” said Hans Dekkers, IBM’s General Manager for the Asia-Pacific region, at the IBM Enterprise AI Summit held on September 5. He emphasized that in today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, AI has become the ‘engine’ of enterprise productivity, and IBM’s strategic focus in the Chinese market has shifted accordingly.IBM has been serving the Chinese market for over 40 years, but in recent years, as market changes have…

Online gaming platform Roblox is launching a TikTok-like short-form video feed for sharing gameplay moments, the company unveiled on Friday at the Roblox Developers Conference. The company also announced increased earnings for creators, new AI tools to boost creation, and other advancements in performance. The new short-form video experience, called “Roblox Moments,” is launching in beta for users 13 and older. It allows users to capture clips of their gameplay, then edit and share those clips in a scrollable feed. Users can trim their clip to up to 30 seconds, add music, and write a description before sharing it. Plus,…

Too Long; Didn’t Read:In 2025 Colombian customer service must adopt AI: CONPES 4144 commits COP 479 billion (~USD 115.9M) through 2030; Zendesk projects AI in 100% of interactions; Latin America retail AI may grow from USD 497.74M (2024) to USD 4,023.77M (2032); noncompliance risks fines up to 3,000 monthly minimum wages. Colombian customer service professionals need this guide because AI has moved from lab talk to national strategy, with a clear roadmap and new policy actions shaping how BPOs and public services use intelligent tools; see the coverage of Colombia’s national AI strategy for context coverage of Colombia’s national AI…

The success of powerful open source Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled the community to create a vast collection of post-trained models adapted to specific tasks and domains. However, navigating and understanding these models remains challenging due to inconsistent metadata and unstructured repositories. We introduce Delta Activations, a method to represent finetuned models as vector embeddings by measuring shifts in their internal activations relative to a base model. This representation allows for effective clustering by domain and task, revealing structure in the model landscape. Delta Activations also demonstrate desirable properties: it is robust across finetuning settings and exhibits an additive…

A new kind of cybercrime has emerged in the online job market, and it is powered by Claude AI. Behind what looks like normal hiring, investigators have uncovered organized systems of fraudulent remote jobs, run by North Korean workers who use artificial intelligence (AI) to fake skills, pass interviews, and keep high-paying roles. According to Anthropic’s latest threat intelligence report, these jobs are organized by the state to bring in money, helping North Korea bypass international sanctions. The money flows directly into national programs, including the country’s weapons development.  By lowering the barrier to complex technical work, Claude AI allows…

Common Sense Media, a kids-safety-focused nonprofit offering ratings and reviews of media and technology, released its risk assessment of Google’s Gemini AI products on Friday. While the organization found that Google’s AI clearly told kids it was a computer, not a friend — something that’s associated with helping drive delusional thinking and psychosis in emotionally vulnerable individuals — it did suggest that there was room for improvement across several other fronts. Notably, Common Sense said that Gemini’s “Under 13” and “Teen Experience” tiers both appeared to be the adult versions of Gemini under the hood, with only some additional safety…

Two major sources of training data exist for post-training modern language models: online (model-generated rollouts) data, and offline (human or other-model demonstrations) data. These two types of data are typically used by approaches like Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), respectively. In this paper, we show that these approaches are not in contradiction, but are instances of a single optimization process. We derive a Unified Policy Gradient Estimator, and present the calculations of a wide spectrum of post-training approaches as the gradient of a common objective under different data distribution assumptions and various bias-variance tradeoffs. The gradient estimator is…

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.Credit: Bloomberg via Getty ImagesFor as long as I’ve been alive, there have been bots of one kind or another on the internet. Whether it’s WoW gold bots, email spammers, SmarterChild (remember SmarterChild?), or something else, this glorious world wide web has been home to rickety, virtual facsimiles of human beings trying to wheedle money out of you for decades.But now it’s even worse. With the power of AI™ (not actually ™) we’ve successfully made the internet much worse for everyone, with social media,…

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings met with and sent an open letter to OpenAI to express their concerns over the safety of ChatGPT, particularly for children and teens.  The warning comes a week after Bonta and 44 other attorneys general sent a letter to 12 of the top AI companies, following reports of sexually inappropriate interactions between AI chatbots and children.  “Since the issuance of that letter, we learned of the heartbreaking death by suicide of one young Californian after he had prolonged interactions with an OpenAI chatbot, as well as a similarly disturbing…
