PanGu-{\Sigma}: Towards Trillion Parameter Language Model with Sparse Heterogeneous Computing

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The scaling of large language models has greatly improved natural language understanding, generation, and reasoning. In this work, we develop a system that trained a trillion-parameter language model on a cluster of Ascend 910 AI processors and MindSpore framework, and present the language model with 1.085T parameters named PanGu-{\Sigma}. With parameter inherent from PanGu-{\alpha}, we extend the dense Transformer model to sparse one with Random Routed Experts (RRE), and efficiently train the model over 329B tokens by using Expert Computation and Storage Separation(ECSS). This resulted in a 6.3x increase in training throughput through heterogeneous computing. Our experimental findings show that PanGu-{\Sigma} provides state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot learning of various Chinese NLP downstream tasks. Moreover, it demonstrates strong abilities when fine-tuned in application data of open-domain dialogue, question answering, machine translation and code generation.


Three Easy Ways to Make AI Chatbots Safer - Scientific American

#artificialintelligence

We have entered the brave new world of AI chatbots. This means everything from reenvisioning how students learn in school to protecting ourselves from mass-produced misinformation. It also means heeding the mounting calls to regulate AI to help us navigate an era in which computers write as fluently as people. So far, there is more agreement on the need for AI regulation than on what this would entail. Mira Murati, head of the team that created the chatbot app ChatGPT--the fastest growing consumer-Internet app in history--said governments and regulators should be involved, but she didn't suggest how.


London partygoers rave to AI-generated beats in a test studying whether AI can replace real DJs

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. In front of an empty DJ booth at an East London nightclub, partygoers danced to AI-generated beats in a unique experimental rave that sought to test whether an app can match the vibe of real-life records and a mixer. Artificial intelligence has been touted as a great disruptor in recent months. ChatGPT, a text-based chatbot developed by OpenAI that can draft prose, poetry or even computer code on command, has gained widespread attention in Silicon Valley, spurring investors to pour money into AI-focused startups.

'ChatGPT said I did not exist': how artists and writers are fighting back against AI

The Guardian

Artists, designers, photographers, authors, actors and musicians see little humour left in jokes about AI programs that will one day do their job for less money. That dark dawn is here, they say. Vast amounts of imaginative output, work made by people in the kind of jobs once assumed to be protected from the threat of technology, have already been captured from the web, to be adapted, merged and anonymised by algorithms for commercial use. But just as GPT-4, the enhanced version of the AI generative text engine, was proudly unveiled last week, artists, writers and regulators have started to fight back in earnest. "Picture libraries are being scraped for content and huge datasets being amassed right now," says Isabelle Doran, head of the Association of Photographers.


Americans Tend Not To Know About AI In Journalism - Liwaiwai

#artificialintelligence

Although artificial intelligence has a growing role in journalism, research finds that Americans donโ€™t know about AIโ€™s role in their livesโ€”or their news. Technology has repeatedly transformed the news media industryโ€”telegraph, radio,ย television, and then the internet. Yet despite these evolutions, technology remained the medium and human journalists the messengers. The introduction of AI has changed that model. Today, AI machines designed to perform the communicator role are generating news content independent of humans. That means AI is the medium and the messenger, giving humanย journalistsย a new synthetic partner programmed to aid in news gathering. The new study finds many Americans areโ€ฆ


Locked AI: The Dangers of Closed Source Code in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI has been known for its mission to develop and promote artificial intelligence in a safe and ethical manner. However, the organization recently announced that it will no longer be open sourcing its AI code. This decision has raised concerns about the potential dangers of limiting access to AI research and development. One of the biggest dangers of not open sourcing AI code is the potential for decreased transparency and accountability. Open sourcing code allows other researchers to verify the accuracy and safety of AI models, which can lead to improvements and prevent the deployment of harmful systems. Without open sourcing, there is less transparency and accountability for the development of AI models, which could lead to unintended consequences and the deployment of unsafe AI systems.


The BBC vs Gary Lineker: An own goal?

Al Jazeera

The suspension by the BBC of Gary Lineker, a well-known footballer-turned-broadcaster, over a tweet comparing the United Kingdom's new immigration bill with 1930s' Nazi Germany, is exposing the double standards in British journalism and politics. Afghan journalists are paying with their lives in the power struggle between the Taliban and ISIL (ISIS). Producer Flo Phillips looks into the targeted explosion that marked Afghanistan's National Journalism Day. Are you OK with AI? Artificial intelligence is not exactly new, but it is having a blockbuster few months with constantly developing software that can do much more than responding to instructions. Producer Ahmed Madi explains the potential of AI and how it might transform the media you consume.


OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says AI will reshape society, acknowledges risks: 'A little bit scared of this' - ABC News

#artificialintelligence

The CEO behind the company that created ChatGPT believes artificial intelligence technology will reshape society as we know it. He believes it comes with real dangers, but can also be "the greatest technology humanity has yet developed" to drastically improve our lives. "We've got to be careful here," said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. "I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this." Altman sat down for an exclusive interview with ABC News' chief business, technology and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis to talk about the rollout of GPT-4 -- the latest iteration of the AI language model.


Chart: Where Americans Think AI Will Help The Most

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI launched its brand new multimodal language model GPT-4 this week, just four months after releasing the first version to the public. ChatGPT has taken the tech world by storm with its ability to generate everything from song lyrics to the answers of a U.S. medical licensing exam in response to a user's written query. But it's not without its problems, with the initial version having received backlash for making a series of factual errors and nonsensical answers or "hallucinations." In one such case, the chatbot even asked a tech journalist to leave his wife. So, what does AI mean for the future?
