Japan to protect celebrity voices against AI use
A Justice Ministry panel discusses how the voices of individuals should be protected under publicity and portrait rights, amid a rise in the unauthorized use of celebrities' voices by generative artificial intelligence, at the ministry in Tokyo on Friday. An expert panel under the Justice Ministry has agreed that the voices of individuals should be protected under publicity and portrait rights, amid a rise in the unauthorized use of celebrities' voices by generative artificial intelligence. The agreement was made Friday, during the first meeting of the panel on civil compensation claims related to the unauthorized use of celebrities' images and voices by generative AI. The ministry is set to compile guidelines on the scope and standards for illegal acts under current law by this summer. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
Auditing Fairness by Betting
We provide practical, efficient, and nonparametric methods for auditing the fairness of deployed classification and regression models. Whereas previous work relies on a fixed-sample size, our methods are sequential and allow for the continuous monitoring of incoming data, making them highly amenable to tracking the fairness of real-world systems. We also allow the data to be collected by a probabilistic policy as opposed to sampled uniformly from the population. This enables auditing to be conducted on data gathered for another purpose. Moreover, this policy may change over time and different policies may be used on different subpopulations. Finally, our methods can handle distribution shift resulting from either changes to the model or changes in the underlying population. Our approach is based on recent progress in anytime-valid inference and game-theoretic statistics--the "testing by betting" framework in particular. These connections ensure that our methods are interpretable, fast, and easy to implement. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on three benchmark fairness datasets.
Impact
More precisely, we use batches of size 2. Each batch contains one patch with the foreground oversampled. Furthermore, we split each silo's data into training and validation data with 80% and 20% split, respectively. All this pre-processing and patching is done using the nnU-Net library [IJK+21]. Loss function We use the same loss function as proposed by nnU-Net [IJK+21] for the KiTS19 dataset which is based on DICE [Dic45] and on the Cross Entropy loss.
OpenAI's Sam Altman apologises over failure to report Canadian mass shooter
OpenAI's Sam Altman apologises over failure to report Canadian mass shooter OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has apologised over his company's failure to warn authorities about the concerning online activities of a teen who went on to commit one of Canada's worst mass shooting s. Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, went on a shooting spree in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on February 10, killing eight people. Rootselaar, who was born male but identified as female, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. OpenAI said after the attacks that Rootselaar's ChatGPT account had been flagged internally the previous June for misuse "in furtherance of violent activities", resulting in its suspension. The San Francisco-based AI company said at the time that it had not informed authorities, as Rootselaar's usage of the chatbot had not met the threshold of posing a credible or imminent threat of harm to others.

AAdditional Experiments620 Task 1 - Grouping In addition to grouping clue words using token embeddings (discussed in621 the main paper 4), we also ran grouping the words by clustering on'contextual' embeddings. We622 experimentally induce'context' by joining the sixteen (16) word tokens (in a random order) into a623 single pseudo-sentence. The embeddings for each token were different based on the ordering of the624 tokens. We repeat the random ordering sixteen times and report the mean and variance of the results625 obtained in Table 6.626 Mean standard deviation over 16 random seeds is shown. Task 2 - Connections In addition to prompting based results on GPT-4 (discussed in 4), we ran627 experiments on additional LLMs like LLaMa [67] (7B, 13B) using pre-trained configuration weights628 obtained by permission from Meta AI. However, without additional fine-tuning on the specific task,629 these LLMs were unable to solve the task in a meaningful manner.
NATURALPROVER: Grounded Mathematical Proof Generation with Language Models
Theorem proving in natural mathematical language - the mixture of symbolic and natural language used by humans - plays a central role in mathematical advances and education, and tests aspects of reasoning that are core to intelligence. Yet it has remained underexplored with modern generative models. We study largescale language models on two new generation tasks: suggesting the next step in a mathematical proof, and full proof generation. We develop NATURALPROVER,a language model that generates proofs by conditioning on background references (e.g.
