French startup Mistral AI, founded just weeks ago by former Meta and DeepMind researchers, has closed a seed round of roughly €105 million to build open, efficient language models.
The Center for AI Safety has published a one-sentence statement, signed by the top executives of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other industry pioneers, equating AI risk with pandemics and nuclear war.
Google has unveiled PaLM 2, its new language model, and expanded Bard during I/O 2023. The company is also preparing Duet AI to bring generative assistants to Workspace and Google Cloud.
Geoffrey Hinton, one of the figures who made today’s AI boom possible, has left Google to speak freely about its dangers. He warns about disinformation, the impact on jobs and the difficulty of controlling increasingly capable systems.
Google has merged its Brain and DeepMind teams into Google DeepMind, a division led by Demis Hassabis. The reorganization brings together two of the company’s most influential research groups amid the race for generative AI.
T5, from Google (Raffel et al., 2019), treats every language task as a “text-to-text” problem. We explain that unified approach, its encoder-decoder architecture versus GPT and BERT, its pre-training on the C4 corpus, and variants such as mT5 and Flan-T5.
Word2Vec (Google, 2013) learns word vectors from their contexts, via the CBOW and Skip-gram architectures. We explain the famous vector arithmetic and its caveat, why it yields static embeddings that cannot handle polysemy, and where it sits against the contextual embeddings of 2018.
Google has opened a waitlist to test Bard in the United States and United Kingdom. Meanwhile, NVIDIA has unveiled new services and chips at GTC to run the generative models competing to reach the public.
An incorrect Bard answer about the James Webb telescope coincided with a sharp drop in Alphabet’s share price. The failure came as Google races to counter Microsoft and OpenAI.
Microsoft is adding an OpenAI-powered chat feature to Bing and Edge. The service combines conversational answers, source links and a traditional search engine in a direct challenge to Google’s dominance.
Google has announced Bard, an experimental conversational assistant based on LaMDA. The company will first test it with a small group before making it available to the public in the coming weeks.
