The White House Wants Anthropic to Block All Jailbreaks. That May Not Be Possible
Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done. The Trump administration's disagreement with Anthropic over its most advanced AI models appears to be fast coming to a head. Trump officials tell Inner Loop that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Claude Fable 5, the AI model that they took offline with export controls last week over concerns about jailbreaking--a method of using prompts to get around a model's safeguards--the company will need to take steps to actually address what the government alleges are vulnerabilities. Anthropic has said for days that the administration's concerns are overblown and that the effects of the jailbreaks are minimal.
Will artificial intelligence disrupt education and other areas of society? An expert weighs in
A new artificial intelligence system made by the company OpenAI called ChatGPT is raising eyebrows and concern for how the new generation of artificial intelligence is going to affect society. The new AI technology is surprising users by generating responses that seem incredibly intelligent on a myriad of subjects. TPR's Jerry Clayton recently spoke with Dr. Anthony Rios, Assistant Professor of Information Systems & Cyber Security at the University of Texas at San Antonio about how these advancing technologies could change to future. Clayton: Give us a quick overview of what chat GPT actually is. Rios: GPT is basically a language model.
Podcast: Want a job? The AI will see you now
In the past, hiring decisions were made by people. Today, some key decisions that lead to whether someone gets a job or not are made by algorithms. The use of AI-based job interviews has increased since the pandemic. As demand increases, so too do questions about whether these algorithms make fair and unbiased hiring decisions, or find the most qualified applicant. In this second episode of a four-part series on AI in hiring, we meet some of the big players making this technology including the CEOs of HireVue and myInterview--and we test some of these tools ourselves. This miniseries on hiring was reported by Hilke Schellmann and produced by Jennifer Strong, Emma Cillekens, Karen Hao and Anthony Green with special thanks to James Wall. Jennifer: Workโฆ is a big part of our lives. It's how most of us pay our bills, feed our familiesโฆ and put a roof over our heads. Michelle Rogers: "A permanent job would mean stability. You need something to keep you going and to keep you fresh." Dora Lespier: "Like being able to take my daughter being able to get whatever she needs. Henry Claypool: "You know, it's, it's a big part of my identity. It's what I do a lot.
Kevin Clayton, CEO Clayton Homes, Explains Why Replacing Sales Professionals with Automation Makes Sense
"Our greatest assets are our team members, and we are committed to continually improving their lives. Whether investing in leadership initiatives, or improving our facilities, we believe the only way you can create a world-class customer experience is by first creating a world-class team member experience." Preface: To tee up the new item produced by Clayton Homes that follows below, some background is useful. First, some related background, then the new items from Clayton. An independent of Clayton Homes that stopped selling their HUD Code manufactured homes some time ago reminded MHProNews about claims that after Warren Buffett bought their brand, they tried cutting the pay of retail general managers.
How video games are reimagining Britain for the Brexit era
Since Theresa May invoked Article 50, there has been a mystifying surge in video games set in Britain. They come in all shapes and sizes, from Nintendo's Pokรฉmon Sword and Shield, which riffs on the architecture of Oxbridge and London, to PanicBarn's anti-Brexit polemic Not Tonight. Most began development long before the EU referendum, but they are useful explorations of national identity at a time when what Britain stands for is hotly contested. Gary Younge has described the Brexit debate as a clash between stories about Britain's past and our ideas of Britishness. How, then, might these video games help us think about what Britain is today? In the 9th-century, Britain was not one but several nations, a mass of warring Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Viking kingdoms.
Microsoft: What went right under Satya Nadella?
On Monday, it will be five years since Satya Nadella was announced as Microsoft's chief executive. Since taking charge he has turned the tech firm's fortunes around, making it the most valuable company in the world for the first time since 2002. You thought Microsoft was so last century, didn't you? In the late 80s and 90s, the company's Windows operating system ruled the world. But where Bill Gates - chief executive from 1975 to 2000 - caught the wave of personal computing, so Steve Ballmer - 2000 to 2014 - failed to do likewise with mobiles.
Quasi-random number generators for multivariate distributions based on generative neural networks
Hofert, Marius, Prasad, Avinash, Zhu, Mu
Generative moment matching networks are introduced as quasi-random number generators for multivariate distributions. So far, quasi-random number generators for non-uniform multivariate distributions require a careful design, often need to exploit specific properties of the distribution or quasi-random number sequence under consideration, and are limited to few models. Utilizing generative neural networks, in particular, generative moment matching networks, allows one to construct quasi-random number generators for a much larger variety of multivariate distributions without such restrictions. Once trained, the presented generators only require independent quasi-random numbers as input and are thus fast in generating non-uniform multivariate quasi-random number sequences from the target distribution. Various numerical examples are considered to demonstrate the approach, including applications inspired by risk management practice.
Electronic Arts cancels 'Madden 19' video game qualifiers after Jacksonville shooting
Investigators say a suspect in a deadly shooting at a Florida video game tournament specifically targeted other gamers. Aug 27, 2018; Jacksonville, FL, USA; Crime scene technicians process evidence at Jacksonville Landing where three people died and several were wounded at a Madden 19 tournament on Sunday, Aug 26. The CEO of Electronic Arts, the video game company that publishes the Madden NFL football games, says the game maker will cancel the remainder of the Madden Classic qualifying events after a gunman killed two players at an event in Jacksonville, Florida. EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a statement released late Monday that the company decided to cancel the three remaining qualifying events "while we run a comprehensive review of safety protocols for competitors and spectators. We will work with our partners and our internal teams to establish a consistent level of security at all of our competitive gaming events."
