'Deepfakes spreading and more AI companions': seven takeaways from the latest artificial intelligence safety report
The international AI safety report warns systems are improving rapidly - but remain prone to'hallucinations' and hard to control. The international AI safety report warns systems are improving rapidly - but remain prone to'hallucinations' and hard to control. The International AI Safety report is an annual survey of technological progress and the risks it is creating across multiple areas, from deepfakes to the jobs market. Commissioned at the 2023 global AI safety summit, it is chaired by the Canadian computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, who describes the "daunting challenges" posed by rapid developments in the field. The report is also guided by senior advisers, including Nobel laureates Geoffrey Hinton and Daron Acemoglu.
Exclusive: 60 U.K. Lawmakers Accuse Google of Breaking AI Safety Pledge
The open letter says that "labelling a publicly accessible model as'experimental' does not absolve Google of its safety obligations," and additionally calls on Google to establish a more common-sense definition of deployment. "Companies have a great public responsibility to test new technology and not involve the public in experimentation," says Bishop of Oxford, Steven Croft, who signed the letter. "Just imagine a car manufacturer releasing a vehicle saying, 'we want the public to experiment and [give] feedback when they crash or when they bump into pedestrians and when the brakes don't work,'" he adds. Croft questions the constraints on providing safety reports at the time of release, boiling the issue down to a matter of priorities: "How much of [Google's] huge investment in AI is being channeled into public safety and reassurance and how much is going into huge computing power?" To be sure, Google isn't the only industry titan to seemingly flout safety commitments.
Generating Reliable Adverse event Profiles for Health through Automated Integrated Data (GRAPH-AID): A Semi-Automated Ontology Building Approach
Gadusu, Srikar Reddy, Callahan, Larry, Lababidi, Samir, Nishtala, Arunasri, Healey, Sophia, McGinty, Hande
As data and knowledge expand rapidly, adopting systematic methodologies for ontology generation has become crucial. With the daily increases in data volumes and frequent content changes, the demand for databases to store and retrieve information for the creation of knowledge graphs has become increasingly urgent. The previously established Knowledge Acquisition and Representation Methodology (KNARM) outlines a systematic approach to address these challenges and create knowledge graphs. However, following this methodology highlights the existing challenge of seamlessly integrating Neo4j databases with the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Previous attempts to integrate data from Neo4j into an ontology have been discussed, but these approaches often require an understanding of description logics (DL) syntax, which may not be familiar to many users. Thus, a more accessible method is necessary to bridge this gap. This paper presents a user-friendly approach that utilizes Python and its rdflib library to support ontology development. We showcase our novel approach through a Neo4j database we created by integrating data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Using this dataset, we developed a Python script that automatically generates the required classes and their axioms, facilitating a smoother integration process. This approach offers a practical solution to the challenges of ontology generation in the context of rapidly growing adverse drug event datasets, supporting improved drug safety monitoring and public health decision-making.
Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning Models to Classify Phase of Flight in Aviation Safety Occurrences
Nanyonga, Aziida, Wasswa, Hassan, Molloy, Oleksandra, Turhan, Ugur, Wild, Graham
The air transport system recognizes the criticality of safety, as even minor anomalies can have severe consequences. Reporting accidents and incidents play a vital role in identifying their causes and proposing safety recommendations. However, the narratives describing pre-accident events are presented in unstructured text that is not easily understood by computer systems. Classifying and categorizing safety occurrences based on these narratives can support informed decision-making by aviation industry stakeholders. In this study, researchers applied natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) models to process text narratives to classify the flight phases of safety occurrences. The classification performance of two deep learning models, ResNet and sRNN was evaluated, using an initial dataset of 27,000 safety occurrence reports from the NTSB. The results demonstrated good performance, with both models achieving an accuracy exceeding 68%, well above the random guess rate of 14% for a seven-class classification problem. The models also exhibited high precision, recall, and F1 scores. The sRNN model greatly outperformed the simplified ResNet model architecture used in this study. These findings indicate that NLP and deep learning models can infer the flight phase from raw text narratives, enabling effective analysis of safety occurrences.
Applications of natural language processing in aviation safety: A review and qualitative analysis
Nanyonga, Aziida, Joiner, Keith, Turhan, Ugur, Wild, Graham
This study explores using Natural Language Processing in aviation safety, focusing on machine learning algorithms to enhance safety measures. There are currently May 2024, 34 Scopus results from the keyword search natural language processing and aviation safety. Analyzing these studies allows us to uncover trends in the methodologies, findings and implications of NLP in aviation. Both qualitative and quantitative tools have been used to investigate the current state of literature on NLP for aviation safety. The qualitative analysis summarises the research motivations, objectives, and outcomes, showing how NLP can be utilized to help identify critical safety issues and improve aviation safety. This study also identifies research gaps and suggests areas for future exploration, providing practical recommendations for the aviation industry. We discuss challenges in implementing NLP in aviation safety, such as the need for large, annotated datasets, and the difficulty in interpreting complex models. We propose solutions like active learning for data annotation and explainable AI for model interpretation. Case studies demonstrate the successful application of NLP in improving aviation safety, highlighting its potential to make aviation safer and more efficient.
How natural language AI could speed patient event reporting
ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices PSO know that there were thousands of patient safety events reported in 2021 that will never get reviewed. The patient safety organization is one of about 96 across the country and collects data on mistakes that resulted in patient harm and near misses. This year, member hospitals sent ECRI more than 800,000 of these reports, according to director Sheila Rossi. Federal agencies and PSOs are only able to gain insights from a fraction of events reported every year. Not having the capacity to sift through all the reports has consequences, though it's not required by law.

Applications are invited for technological solutions to meet this challenge. The deadline for applications is Friday 24th January at 12 noon. Sellafield are exploring the use of Machine Learning (ML) to help analyse health, safety and environmental data to improve prediction of risk.
A Comprehensive Self-Driving Car Test
Every few years, I have to pass a test from the Department of Motor Vehicles to drive my car in Virginia (and the rest of the U.S.). Shouldn't a self-driving car be required to do the same thing? Actually, the Waymo self-driving car passes a more comprehensive set of tests than humans do, as I found out after asking about its safety report.a Disclaimer: I work for Google, which is an Alphabetb company and Waymo is a sister company. What struck me as interesting about Waymo's approach to safety is the scope of the design and testing regime that informs the company's assessment of the vehicle's safety.
Waymo is the first company to give a detailed self-driving safety report to federal officials
To help keep tabs on the safety of driverless cars rolling around U.S. cities, the federal government last year, and again last month, suggested that tech firms and car companies submit safety checklists. None of the companies have done it. Waymo, a self-driving car project spun off from Google, submitted a 43-page safety report to the U.S. Department of Transportation on Thursday, offering the most detailed description yet of how it -- or any other company -- equips and trains vehicles to avoid the range of mundane and outrageous problems that are part of U.S. driving. "We've staged people jumping out of canvas bags or porta-potties on the side of the road, skateboarders lying on their boards, and thrown stacks of paper in front of our sensors," says the report, which describes how company engineers use a 91-acre California Central Valley test facility mocked up like a city, as well as computer simulations covering hundreds of thousands of variations of possible road scenarios. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has suggested a set of 28 "behavioral competencies," or basic things an autonomous vehicle should be able to do.
