A three year hunt for patterns hidden in the roars, sighs, and other noises made by Indonesia's orangutans has discovered'a full spectrum' of complex vocalizations. The breakthrough comes hot on the heels of other recent discoveries further revealing the depth of the great ape's intelligence -- including one orangutan's practice of healing its own injuries with a self-prepared medicinal herb. The research team reinforced their analysis by testing artificial intelligence (AI) detection methods against the painstaking work of biologists and bioacoustics scientists, employing only their trained ears, intellects and measurement tools. The Cornell University-led team pooled together a dataset of 117 recorded'long calls' made by 13 males of one particular species, the Bornean orangutan, employing 46 acoustic measurements on 1,033 distinct pulses detected within those calls. 'These features would seem to greatly boost the potential complexity of this signal,' they wrote, suggesting humanity might soon know what the great apes are saying.

A new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) models can produce … "adversarial attack" against a machine learning system: a way to break the …

The Conversation – A new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) models can produce "creative" images on-demand based on a text prompt. While the output of these models is often striking, it's hard to know exactly how they produce their results. Last week, researchers in the US made the intriguing claim that the DALL-E 2 model might have invented its own secret language to talk about objects. DALLE-2 has a secret language. By prompting DALL-E 2 to create images containing text captions, then feeding the resulting (gibberish) captions back into the system, the researchers concluded DALL-E 2 thinks Vicootes means "vegetables", while Wa ch zod rea refers to "sea creatures that a whale might eat".

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can transform famous paintings into different art styles, or create brand new artworks from a text prompt, may work by using a'secret language', experts claim. Text-to-image app DALL-E 2 was released by artificial intelligence lab OpenAI last month, and is able to create multiple realistic images and artwork from a single text prompt. It is also able to add objects into existing images, or even provide different points of view on an existing image. Now researchers believe they may have figured out how the technology works, after discovering that gibberish words produce specific pictures. Computer scientists used DALL-E 2 to generate images that contained text inside them, by asking for'captions' or'subtitles'.

In brief AI text-to-image generation models are all the rage right now. You give them a simple description of a scene, such as "a vulture typing on a laptop," and they come up with an illustration that resembles that description. But developers who have special access to OpenAI's text-to-image engine DALL·E 2 have found all sorts of weird behaviors – including what may be a hidden, made-up language. Giannis Daras, a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin shared artwork produced by DALL·E 2 given the input: "Apoploe vesrreaitais eating Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons" – a phrase that makes no sense to humans. But to the machine, it seemed to generate images of birds eating bugs consistently.

With April 1 almost here, a computer researcher wanted to see if an AI could generate some knee-slapping April Fools' Day pranks. Social distancing is still in effect so Janelle Shane tasked the popular language modeling software GPT-3 to come up with gags people could play on themselves. One version of the neural net suggested sawing your mattress in half or standing in line for a movie for 30 minutes and then just walking away. Another suggested '[creating] a secret language that only you and your cat can understand.' 'Take a bunch of jellybeans,' it offered as an alternative, 'put them in a Ziplock bag and tie the bag around your neck.'

Considering the public awareness of artificial intelligence and the speed new breathtaking progress is taking place, it seems to be just a matter of time when AI will surpass the human intelligence level. And yes, the headlines AI is writing are stunning! While the victory of the IBM chess computer Deep Blue over the former chess world champion Garry Kasparov in 1996 (and again in 1997) was something like the eighth wonder of the world, the victory of Googles AlphaGo over Lee Sedol in 2016 in the strategy board game "Go" was seen as predictable for many. AI development has undergone a vast acceleration during the last decade. Assuming a stable growth rate of AI development: Is AI supposed to surpass the human intelligence level over the next few years?
