Metrics like FactScore and VeriScore that evaluate long-form factuality operate by decomposing an input response into atomic claims and then individually verifying each claim. While effective and interpretable, these methods incur numerous LLM calls and can take upwards of 100 seconds to evaluate a single response, limiting their practicality in large-scale evaluation and training scenarios. To address this, we propose VeriFastScore, which leverages synthetic data to fine-tune Llama3.1 8B for simultaneously extracting and verifying all verifiable claims within a given text based on evidence from Google Search. We show that this task cannot be solved via few-shot prompting with closed LLMs due to its complexity: the model receives ~4K tokens of evidence on average and needs to concurrently decompose claims, judge their verifiability, and verify them against noisy evidence. However, our fine-tuned VeriFastScore model demonstrates strong correlation with the original VeriScore pipeline at both the example level (r=0.80) and system level (r=0.94) while achieving an overall speedup of 6.6x (9.9x excluding evidence retrieval) over VeriScore. To facilitate future factuality research, we publicly release our VeriFastScore model and synthetic datasets.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." "Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings." What are the most powerful technologies of our society 5.0 times? How can we cope with them?. The concept of society 5.0 is a vision of a future human centred society, nature where technology is used for the best possible outcomes. Society 5.0 is not about one single country or city. It is about humans, the planet and a balanced sustainable ecosystem. As we speak Human society and intelligence is being vastly amplified, changed and augmented by AI. Even with our basic forms of narrow AI we are already seeing the biggest disruption of human society with manipulation of entire societies with social media, fake news and dark data. This to add to our financial and capital markets that as we speak are all run by algorithms and deep learning / machine learning SAAS and PAAS. We can define technology as the application of tools, scientific knowledge for concrete practical uses, this happens in social aspects of our society life and especially in business and industry. When we speak about technology we tend to talk about "advances in technology, computing technology" and many forms of tools, machinery and equipment developed from the application of research, invention and based on practical and scientific knowledge. The usage of technologies can and is normally used to solve a specific problem and reduce a society and its many sectors, the industry's ability to use a solution to develop a tool and use a budget on a new technology or set of innovation tech. Nowadays in Society 5.0 we tend to define technology as a set of tools and innovations we use in the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences put in practice for our society. Society 5.0 where we live has a large and complex global population. According to recent data from the United Nations (2019) the world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 or over 10 billion in 2050. The same research estimates the world population in 2100 to be 10.9 billion. But the predictions vary according to different projections. "Seventy thousand years ago, homo sapiens was still an insignificant animal minding its own business in a corner of Africa.

Anthony Giddens is the former director of the London School of Economics and a member of the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. LONDON -- In 1215, England adopted the Magna Carta to stop kings from abusing their power. Today, the new kings are big tech companies, and just like centuries ago, we need a charter to govern them. The digital revolution is the greatest dynamic force in the world today. It affects everything from the intimacies of everyday life to geopolitical struggles and has made the world become one in a way that was never possible before.

We stand at a watershed moment for society's vast, unknown digital future. A powerful technology, artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged from its own ashes, thanks largely to advances in neural networks modeled loosely on the human brain. AI can find patterns in massive unstructured data sets, improve performance as more data becomes available, identify objects quickly and accurately, and, make ever more and better recommendations and decision-making, while minimizing interference from complicated, political humans. This raises major questions about the degree of human choice and inclusion for the decades to come. How will humans, across all levels of power and income, be engaged and represented?
