By Rahul De', Nitisha Ahuja, Palash Sanjay Kotgirwar As Artificial Intelligence (AI) based products and services proliferate across industries one question emerges as the most important: should these systems include a human in the loop or operate autonomously? This question underlies much of the services and products that we take for granted now. Consider, for example, using Google Maps. Many of us now take this AI-based service for granted, when it gives directions to go from one place to another we follow, nearly without thinking about where it is taking us. There is no human guide or moderator behind this tool; we cannot even call a number, like in a bank, and demand to speak to someone about getting wrong directions or being led off somewhere other than our destination.

Netflix will roll out a new TikTok-inspired featured that specifically targets its younger viewers this week, according to Bloomberg. The streaming giant is reportedly launching "Kids Clips" on its iOS app, which will show short video clips from its library of children's programming to help young viewers find something to watch. Bloomberg says the feature builds upon Fast Laughs, the comedy feed it launched earlier this year. Unlike Fast Laughs, however, Kids Clips videos will be horizontal instead of vertical and will take over the entire screen. In addition, kids will only be able to view 10 to 20 clips at any one time.

"Old-fashioned" is generally not a term you want to hear applied to science fiction, a genre from which one tends to expect the futuristic and unfamiliar. But old-fashioned is very much how Finch (Apple TV) feels, and not just because of the reassuring elder-statesman presence of Tom Hanks in the title role: a post-apocalyptic drama built from the scraps of a thousand others before it, it's about as nostalgically cuddly as a vision of a barren, desolate future can be. Hanks is seemingly the last surviving human on the planet; an inventor, he assembles an AI robot (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) to mind his adorable dog when he's gone. The narrative direction of the film, previously a more downbeat enterprise, was altered to be more optimistic when the global pandemic struck. Perhaps Finch's creation, a throwback to the rickety robot aesthetics of 1980s kids' favourite Short Circuit, was always intended to be a hi-tech pet-sitter: either way, in the long history of cinema's fascination with artificial intelligence (AI), rarely has the technology been used to such wholesome ends.

Large language models can produce fluent dialogue but often hallucinate factual inaccuracies. While retrieval-augmented models help alleviate this issue, they still face a difficult challenge of both reasoning to provide correct knowledge and generating conversation simultaneously. In this work, we propose a modular model, Knowledge to Response (K2R), for incorporating knowledge into conversational agents, which breaks down this problem into two easier steps. K2R first generates a knowledge sequence, given a dialogue context, as an intermediate step. After this "reasoning step", the model then attends to its own generated knowledge sequence, as well as the dialogue context, to produce a final response. In detailed experiments, we find that such a model hallucinates less in knowledge-grounded dialogue tasks, and has advantages in terms of interpretability and modularity. In particular, it can be used to fuse QA and dialogue systems together to enable dialogue agents to give knowledgeable answers, or QA models to give conversational responses in a zero-shot setting.
