Association of Objects May Engender Stereotypes: Mitigating Association-Engendered Stereotypes in Text-to-Image Generation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Text-to-Image (T2I) has witnessed significant advancements, demonstrating superior performance for various generative tasks. However, the presence of stereotypes in T2I introduces harmful biases that require urgent attention as the T2I technology becomes more prominent.Previous work for stereotype mitigation mainly concentrated on mitigating stereotypes engendered with individual objects within images, which failed to address stereotypes engendered by the association of multiple objects, referred to as . For example, mentioning ''black people'' and ''houses'' separately in prompts may not exhibit stereotypes. Nevertheless, when these two objects are associated in prompts, the association of ''black people'' with ''poorer houses'' becomes more pronounced. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel framework, MAS, to Mitigate Association-engendered Stereotypes.


House of Cans: Covert Transmission of Internal Datasets via Capacity-Aware Neuron Steganography

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this paper, we present a capacity-aware neuron steganography scheme (i.e., Cans) to covertly transmit multiple private machine learning (ML) datasets via a scheduled-to-publish deep neural network (DNN) as the carrier model. Unlike existing steganography schemes which treat the DNN parameters as bit strings, \textit{Cans} for the first time exploits the learning capacity of the carrier model via a novel parameter sharing mechanism.


Amazon's 'House of David' Used Over 350 AI Shots in Season 2. Its Creator Isn't Sorry

WIRED

Amazon's Used Over 350 AI Shots in Season 2. Its Creator Isn't Sorry The show, which follows David's ascent to King of Israel, used four times as much AI this season, including for many of its battle scenes. A dusty visual overlay partially obscures crowds of men in the desert, sword-fighting in armor and on horseback. With some wardrobe tweaks, this scene could look like something out of or . But showrunner Jon Erwin says he didn't have the budget to bring these scenes to life. Instead, he used AI .

Russia accuses US of 'encouraging terrorists' after Moscow strike

Al Jazeera

The United States is encouraging Ukraine to launch cross-border "terrorist" attacks, a Russian official alleged, after Moscow was hit by a series of drone strikes. The White House, meanwhile, said on Tuesday it did not support attacks inside Russia, and that it is still gathering information on the incident. "What are these attempts to hide behind the phrase they are'gathering information'?" Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to the US, said in remarks published on the Telegram messaging channel. "This is an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists."


'House of Ashes' isn't 'Until Dawn,' but it's the closest The Dark Pictures Anthology has come yet

Paired with this expansive setting is the series's first 360-degree camera system, as compared to the fixed and floating cameras in "Man of Medan" and "Little Hope." A flashlight has also been added, encouraging you to search dark corners for secrets or clues about the archaeologists whose hastily abandoned research sites and ominous journal entries you discover throughout the ruins. As you explore, the game gives you plenty of time to soak in its giant set pieces, which only get eerier as you descend. What starts out as a fairly straightforward monster movie plot that unfolds underground (think "Tremors" or "The Descent" but with vampires) ends up taking some wild turns. It definitely hits its stride in the second half, capturing the spirit of horror "B" movies beautifully, never crossing the line into ridiculousness and thereby detracting from the terrifying atmosphere and suspense.


House of Lords: AI needs an ethical code of practice

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) should be subject to a cross-sector code of practice that ensures the technology is developed ethically and does not diminish the rights and opportunities of humans, according to a new report by the House of Lords. In the comprehensive report, released this morning, the House of Lords Select Committee said the UK is in a "unique position" to help shape the development of AI on the world stage, ensuring the technology is only applied for the benefit of mankind. "The UK has a unique opportunity to shape AI positively for the public's benefit and to lead the international community in AI's ethical development, rather than passively accept its consequences," said Committee chairman Lord Clement-Jones. "The UK contains leading AI companies, a dynamic academic research culture, and a vigorous startup ecosystem as well as a host of legal, ethical, financial and linguistic strengths. We should make the most of this environment, but it is essential that ethics take centre stage in AI's development and use," added Clement-Jones.

Someone said to an editor: "why not have a regular lighthearted column on AI topics?" The editor said: "what an excellent idea, and when will we get the first manuscript?" We go to press next week." While looking for something to give him, we stumbled on this old manuscript, written years ago (with our esteemed colleague Neil Agnew, the Duke of York). Ever had an old sock that you try to throw away, but keep finding in the bottom of a drawer?

Temi, the rolling robot Wolf hopes you'll soon have in your home, looks more like a tablet on wheels. Wolf's not trying to build an artificial best friend or a robo-sidekick; instead, Temi was designed to be a video chat and music machine. The actual robot, Temi, stands 3 feet tall and rolls on four small wheels. "We tried hard not to provide Temi a face," Wolf says.
