Dall·E Mini And The Future Of Artificial Intelligence Art
You likely see the power of artificial intelligence (AI) daily when you log in to social media or order something online. Many companies use AI to improve business operations and automate more stages of the customer experience. The goal is for AI to allow machines to replace people so that you don't need a human touch for basic and even some complex tasks. With many companies investing in artificial intelligence, it's no surprise that there are AI-powered graphic generators that can create original works of art. We're going to look at the DALL·E 2, DALL·E Mini, and what the future of AI painting looks like. Before we analyze the world of AI-generated artwork, we're going to look at the two most popular tools you may have heard of, including DALL·E 2 and DALL·E Mini.
Why generative AI legal battles are brewing
This morning, the New York Times' Kevin Roose called what has been a big week for generative AI tools a "coming out" party [subscription required]. He detailed an actual party, on Monday night, which celebrated a massive funding round for Stability AI, the startup behind Stable Diffusion, the uber-popular image-generating algorithm that was only launched publicly two months ago. But this week was chock-full of other significant news around generative AI (which refers to using unsupervised learning algorithms to learn from existing text, audio or images and create new content -- and now includes popular tools including GPT-3, DALL-E 2 and Imagen as well as nascent text-to-video options from OpenAI and Google). There was the news that Microsoft would add DALL-E to its Office suite and to Azure AI, while Adobe was planning to add generative AI tools to Photoshop and also committed to transparency in its use of generative AI. Then, besides Stable Diffusion's news, content generator Jasper also announced a massive funding round of $125 million, solidifying VC interest in the generative AI space.

France fines Clearview AI maximum possible for GDPR breaches
Clearview AI, the controversial facial recognition firm that scrapes selfies and other personal data off the Internet without consent to feed an AI-powered identity-matching service it sells to law enforcement and others, has been hit with another fine in Europe. This one comes after it failed to respond to an order last year from the CNIL, France's privacy watchdog, to stop its unlawful processing of French citizens' information and delete their data. Clearview responded to that order by, well, ghosting the regulator -- thereby adding a third GDPR breach (non-cooperation with the regulator) to its earlier tally.
Supervisory Authorities publish discussion paper on artificial intelligence
The UK financial services regulators, the Bank of England (BoE), the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – together Supervisory Authorities – jointly published a discussion paper (DP5/22) on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning on 11 October 2022. The purpose of the discussion paper was to facilitate a public debate on the safe and responsible adoption of AI in UK financial services. The Supervisory Authorities have also raised discussion questions for stakeholder input, with the aim of understanding whether the current regulatory framework is sufficient to address the potential risks and harms associated with AI and how any additional intervention may support the safe and responsible adoption of AI in UK financial services. The discussion paper provides a platform for the Supervisory Authorities, experts and stakeholders to collaborate and jointly assess whether the current legal framework can adequately regulate AI technology by safeguarding each of the Supervisory Authorities' objectives while at the same time promoting innovation in UK financial services. This consultation occurs in parallel to the UK government's ongoing work in developing its own cross-sector approach to the regulation of AI technology and will therefore provide a valuable contribution to this broader policy debate.
Deepfake porn is on the rise – and everyday women are the target
My denim bikini has been replaced with exposed, pale pink nipples – and a smooth, hairless crotch. I zoom in on the image, attempting to gauge what, if anything, could reveal the truth behind it. There's the slight pixilation around part of my waist, but that could be easily fixed with amateur Photoshopping. Although the image isn't exactly what I see staring back at me in the mirror in real life, it's not a million miles away either. And hauntingly, it would take just two clicks of a button for someone to attach it to an email, post it on Twitter or mass distribute it to all of my contacts. Or upload it onto a porn site, leaving me spending the rest of my life fearful that every new person I meet has seen me naked. Because this image, despite looking realistic, is a fake.
Towards a sustainable generative AI revolution
A lack of balance between those poles (in whichever direction) produces different kinds of issues in adults. I have written extensively about those matters, but that is not the topic of this article. Let's get back to the artists. Many great artists have the following thing in common. They are able to navigate this depth elevator in an agile and flexible way.
Strategic Decisions Survey, Taxonomy, and Future Directions from Artificial Intelligence Perspective
Wu, Caesar, Ramamohanarao, Kotagiri, Zhang, Rui, Bouvry, Pascal
Strategic Decision-Making is always challenging because it is inherently uncertain, ambiguous, risky, and complex. It is the art of possibility. We develop a systematic taxonomy of decision-making frames that consists of 6 bases, 18 categorical, and 54 frames. We aim to lay out the computational foundation that is possible to capture a comprehensive landscape view of a strategic problem. Compared with traditional models, it covers irrational, non-rational and rational frames c dealing with certainty, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, chaos, and ignorance.
Abstract Interpretation-Based Feature Importance for SVMs
Pal, Abhinandan, Ranzato, Francesco, Urban, Caterina, Zanella, Marco
We propose a symbolic representation for support vector machines (SVMs) by means of abstract interpretation, a well-known and successful technique for designing and implementing static program analyses. We leverage this abstraction in two ways: (1) to enhance the interpretability of SVMs by deriving a novel feature importance measure, called abstract feature importance (AFI), that does not depend in any way on a given dataset of the accuracy of the SVM and is very fast to compute, and (2) for verifying stability, notably individual fairness, of SVMs and producing concrete counterexamples when the verification fails. We implemented our approach and we empirically demonstrated its effectiveness on SVMs based on linear and non-linear (polynomial and radial basis function) kernels. Our experimental results show that, independently of the accuracy of the SVM, our AFI measure correlates much more strongly with the stability of the SVM to feature perturbations than feature importance measures widely available in machine learning software such as permutation feature importance. It thus gives better insight into the trustworthiness of SVMs.
