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…
Looking back, the original idea behind YouTube seems almost quaint. The mythic founding story goes like this: in January of 2005, two PayPal employees, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, were at a party. People were taking photos and videos on their digital cameras. Sharing photos was easy, sharing video was anything but. “People have different video types, video codecs they have to download, video software,” Chen said on Charlie Rose in 2006. He and Hurley had a sense that as digital cameras and cameraphones became ubiquitous, more people were going to want to share their footage. “We tried to simplify…

The founder Google Brain (now part of Google DeepMind) is among the most influential figures in applied A.I. and promoting A.I. literacy. In addition to teaching computer science at Stanford University, Ng has founded education platforms like Coursera and DeepLearning.AI to help professionals apply A.I. across industries. His latest initiative is Kira Learning, a startup aiming to transform K–12 education in the U.S. with A.I. agents. Backed by Ng’s AI Fund, Kira…
Tech evangelists have been yammering about “working smarter, not harder” for years. Now, two 21-year-old Columbia University dropouts are proposing a new $5.3 million twist on the concept: use their AI tool Cluely to “cheat on everything.”That’s what it literally says in Cluely’s online manifesto: “We want to cheat on everything.” Unlike the AI chatbots you’re familiar with, it describes Cluely as an “undetectable AI-powered assistant built for virtual meetings, sales calls, and more.” It claims to read your screen, listen to your audio, and let you discreetly prompt AI to find answers or whip out smart responses in real-time.…
