ai-training-costs-continue-to-plummet

#artificialintelligence

High AI training costs have been a significant barrier to AI adoption, preventing many companies from implementing AI technology. According to a 2017 Forrester Consulting Report, 48% of companies highlighted high technology costs as one of the primary reasons for not implementing AI-driven solutions. However, recent developments have shown that AI training costs are rapidly declining, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. According to the ARK Invest Big Ideas 2023 report, training costs of a large language model similar to GPT-3 level performance have plummeted from $4.6 million in 2020 to $450,000 in 2022, a decline of 70% per year. Let's explore this trend of declining AI training costs further and discuss the factors contributing to this decline.


LinkedIn expands its generative AI assistant to recruitment

#artificialintelligence

Earlier this month, when LinkedIn started seeding "AI-powered conversation starters" in people's news feeds to boost engagement on its platform, the move saw more than little engagement of its own, none of it too positive. But the truth of the matter with LinkedIn is that it's been using a lot of AI and other kinds of automation across different aspects of its platform for years, primarily behind the scenes with how it builds and operates its network. Now, with its owner Microsoft going all-in on OpenAI, it looks like it's becoming a more prominent part of the strategy for LinkedIn on the front end, too -- with the latest coming today in the areas of LinkedIn profiles, recruitment and LinkedIn Learning. The company is today introducing AI-powered writing suggestions, which will initially be offered to people to spruce up their LinkedIn profiles, and to recruiters writing job descriptions. Both are built on advanced GPT models, said Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn's chief product officer.


OpenAI co-founder on company's past approach to openly sharing research: 'We were wrong' - The Verge

#artificialintelligence

The closed approach is a marked change for OpenAI, which was founded in 2015 by a small group including current CEO Sam Altman, Tesla CEO Elon Musk (who resigned from its board in 2018), and Sutskever. In an introductory blog post, Sutskever and others said the organization's aim was to "build value for everyone rather than shareholders" and that it would "freely collaborate" with others in the field to do so. OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit but later became a "capped profit" in order to secure billions in investment, primarily from Microsoft, with whom it now has exclusive business licenses.


Developer shows how OpenAI's GPT-4 can create iPhone apps using SwiftUI

#artificialintelligence

It's been years since we have seen artificial intelligence implemented in many software applications, but more recently ChatGPT and other similar AI have become extremely popular for their ability to generate text, images, and even code. With the announcement of the new GPT-4 from OpenAI this week, users are already exploring its potential. It can even create iPhone apps using SwiftUI. For those unfamiliar, GPT or Generative Pre-training Transformer is the technology behind the popular ChatGPT. The new version, named GPT-4, shows a "massive leap in the field of natural language processing."


Microsoft ends AI ethics team while getting closer to OpenAI โ€ข The Register

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft has eliminated its entire team responsible for ensuring the ethical use of AI software at a time when the Windows giant is ramping up its use of machine learning technology. The decision to ditch the ethics and society team within its artificial intelligence organization is part of the 10,000 job cuts Microsoft announced in January, which will continue rolling through the IT titan into next year. The hit to this particular unit may remove some guardrails meant to ensure Microsoft's products that integrate machine learning features meet the mega-corp's standards for ethical use of AI. And it comes as discussion rages about the effects of controversial artificial intelligence models on society at large. Baking AI ethics into the whole business โ€“ as something for all employees to consider โ€“ seems kinda like when Bill Gates told his engineers in 2002 to make security an organization-wide priority, which obviously went really well.

The Download: flying cars, and not-so-OpenAI

MIT Technology Review

Some companies think it's time the aviation industry got a makeover, and many are betting it'll come in the form of eVTOLs: electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles. There are hundreds of companies working to bring the small aircrafts that take off and land like a helicopter and fly like a plane to the skies. If they gain regulatory approval, they could change how we think about flight. But that's a big "if," and there are other questions for the industry to answer before these new flying vehicles become a reality. So, how close are today's eVTOLs to taking off, and is any of this a good idea for the climate?


How to build a ChatGPT Clone with OpenAI and Gradio.

#artificialintelligence

The model that we're going to use for this experiment may not be the exact same that OpenAI used for ChatGPT, but it's definitely a good baseline. This is the closest you can get, so let's go and grab the keys. Prerequisites: you'd need an OpenAI API key, and if you sign up for free, you'd get some credits, but afterwards you would have to pay. Second, we will be using Gradio, which is a platform for creating Machine Learning application for creating interface for the Chatbot. Go to the OpenAI's playground, make sure you click on text-davinci-003 and go to the'View Code' and click on copy the code: That piece of code should look exactly like this: I use a VSCode for this occasion.


Demo of China's Answer to ChatGPT Disappoints Investors

TIME - Tech

Baidu Inc. debuted China's answer to ChatGPT via a recorded video, disappointing investors hoping for a real-time demo of the country's highest-profile entry in a race to dominate transformative technology. Billionaire founder Robin Li took to a Beijing stage to introduce his company's "Ernie Bot," a landmark moment for a search leader that's struggled in recent years to revitalize growth. But instead of putting the service through its paces in real time, he talked over a scripted video of interactions with the AI. Baidu's shares fell 6.4% in Hong Kong, wiping out about $3 billion of value. Thursday's launch was to have been a watershed moment for China's technology industry, lifting the lid on how AI has progressed in the world's largest internet economy.
