With the increasing size of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), network pruning techniques aimed at compressing models for deployment in resource-constrained environments have garnered significant attention. However, we observe that pruning often leads to a degradation in safety performance. To address this issue, we present a novel and lightweight approach, termed Hierarchical Safety Realignment (HSR). HSR operates by first quantifying the contribution of each attention head to safety, identifying the most critical ones, and then selectively restoring neurons directly within these attention heads that play a pivotal role in maintaining safety. This process hierarchically realigns the safety of pruned LVLMs, progressing from the attention head level to the neuron level. We validate HSR across various models and pruning strategies, consistently achieving notable improvements in safety performance. To our knowledge, this is the first work explicitly focused on restoring safety in LVLMs post-pruning.

For over a decade, the tech industry has been chasing unicorns--those elusive startups valued at over 1 billion. The obsession began in 2013, when Aileen Lee--a Palo Alto–based VC--coined the term that captured the imaginations first of founders and investors, and then prime ministers and presidents. But these mythical beasts are also rare: only 1 percent of VC-backed startups ever reach this status. As society enters the age of AI, and financial markets put renewed value on business fundamentals, our understanding of what makes a successful tech company is evolving. Promise alone doesn't make a national, regional or global champion.

We are human and like any human we have biases that do not allow us to make rational decisions. Deviation from rational thinking creates direct losses or opportunity costs in financial investment activity. Investors could be biased by confirmation when they seek out information that supports their existing views and ignore or dispute information that does not support their existing views.

Several companies are racing to introduce autonomous vehicles. There is a lot of complexity associated with the AV Investment Opportunities landscape.

Why is speaking at WITS important to you? WITS events have been enjoyable for me as a speaker and attendee. I filled my schedule with panels related to technology's business and technical aspects. I appreciate that the programming is diverse in its approach to the topics covered under the Tech umbrella. What inspires me: The advancements associated with DALL*E, the AI system that creates realistic images and art from natural language descriptions, are astounding. There are implications for content, advertising, and investment opportunities.

There are few sectors of the stock market that are quite as exciting as the artificial intelligence sector. Eerily reminiscent of many works of science fiction, today's technological innovation has brought us smartphones, televisions, and even homes that talk to you, providing intelligent answers in seemingly no time flat! AI technology is quickly changing the way people do everything from order food to enjoy streaming entertainment, and as adoption of the technology continues, the opportunities in the space are only growing larger. It's no surprise to find intense investor interest in artificial intelligence stocks, but what exactly are the companies they represent doing, and should you be investing in them? Read on to learn more about this fast-evolving sector of the economy and how to go about investing in it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that helps build smart machines. AI provides data that makes these machines capable enough to match human intelligence. As a result, many industries have taken advantage of AI technologies. Machine Learning and Deep Learning are the two subsets of Artificial Intelligence. Whereas machine learning refers to computers able to think and act with less human intervention, deep learning involves computers able to use structures modeled on the human brain.

Tim Maughan is a writer of fiction and nonfiction. His debut novel "Infinite Detail" (FSG, 2019) was The Guardian's science fiction and fantasy book of the year and was shortlisted for the Locus Award for best first novel. "Where'd you find this guy?" Dave Clutch asks me, pushing bangs out of anime-girl eyes with a flick of a cell-shaded hand. "Yeah, nice try lol," I reply. "Like I'm gonna tell you my trade secrets." I brace for a stylized sweat drop that never comes, thankfully. The aesthetic is so played out that my reaction to it borders on allergic, but at least it is an aesthetic. When I first found Dave he was just another youtuber, all skinny white boy grey skin and sagging eye bags lit by nothing but the slowly cycling RGB LEDs of his gaming rig, staring awkwardly into the camera as he read his scripts and flicked real bangs of hobbit hair out of his eyes. It was a look that screamed a desperate need for authenticity, and it was the first thing I had to beat out of him. Back then he was posting weekly videos about his patent dives into smart contact lens technology -- long, rambling monologues detailing what he'd unearthed about some obscure Chinese manufacturer and how they were going to "reinvent personal immersion" by making VR headsets and spex obsolete. What he didn't know was that the company was already in acquisition talks with Meta, and they'd been feeding him bullshit patents for fantasy tech in order to drive their market value up. Meta didn't give a fuck, the whole deal was pocket change for them, but the day traders whose algos had already decided his info was whack and the company was a good shorting opportunity were pissed and braying for blood. It didn't help that Dave had been stupid enough to blow his student loans on buying shares in them himself. It was not, as we used to say, a good look.

In an increasingly digitized world, the artificial intelligence (AI) boom is only getting started. But could the risks of artificial intelligence outweigh the potential benefits these technologies might lend to society in the years ahead? In this segment of Backstage Pass, recorded on Dec. 14, Fool contributors Asit Sharma, Rachel Warren, and Demitri Kalogeropoulos discuss. Asit Sharma: We had two questions that we were going to debate. Well, I'll have to choose one.
