Google Photos AI Still Can't Label Gorillas

AI lühidalt AI may be progressing rapidly, but it appears Google still hasn't quite fixed an eight-year problem with its image recognition system: identifying pictures of gorillas accurately.

The company was criticized when a software developer, Jacky Alciné, found the image recognition system deployed in its Photos app in 2015 had mistakenly labelled a photo of him and his friend as gorillas. Alciné and his friend are both Black. Horrified, Google swiftly covered up the racist error by blocking the software's ability to label images of gorillas.

Eight years later, the flaw still hasn't been fixed properly. An eksperiment viib läbi New York Timesile avastasid, et kasutajad saavad otsida oma fotosid erinevat tüüpi loomade (nt kasside ja kängurude) järgi, kuid mitte gorillade, paavianide, šimpanside, orangutanide ja ahvide järgi.

The Photos app still steers clear of labelling images of primates. It's not clear whether the company is unable to fix the issue, or if the feature is too controversial or risky to deploy. Interestingly, Apple's Photo app and Microsoft's OneDrive storage app had the same glitch too, while Amazon Photos tended to mistakenly label other types of animals as gorillas.

Alciné said he was disappointed Google has not fixed the problem. "I'm going to forever have no faith in this AI," he said.

OpenAI käivitab uue programmi, et rahastada ideid, kuidas AGI-d demokraatlikult kontrollida

OpenAI mittetulunduslik haru lubas anda kokku miljon dollarit inimestele, kellel on häid ideid, kuidas luua demokraatlik protsess, mille abil kodanikud saaksid AI arengut kujundada.

Igaüks saab oma ettepanekuid esitada kuni 2. juunini. Tehisintellekti idufirma valib välja kümme parimat rakendust ja annab igaühele 100,000 XNUMX dollarit, et abisaajad saaksid hakata oma ideedest prototüüpe looma.

"AGI should benefit all of humanity and be shaped to be as inclusive as possible," OpenAI teatas in a blog post this week. "We are launching this grant program to take a first step in this direction. We are seeking teams from across the world to develop proof-of-concepts for a democratic process that could answer questions about what rules AI systems should follow."

OpenAI said that the grants are experiments, and it may or may not apply any of the ideas into practice. The startup is interested in methods that support input from a diverse community on problems that can't necessarily be solved by following laws.

"For example: under what conditions should AI systems condemn or criticize public figures, given different opinions across groups regarding those figures? How should disputed views be represented in AI outputs? Should AI by default reflect the persona of a median individual in the world, the user's country, the user's demographic, or something entirely different? No single individual, company, or even country should dictate these decisions," it asked.

Anthropic kogub C-seeria voorus 450 miljonit dollarit

Anthropic, tehisintellekti idufirma, mille asutasid endised OpenAI töötajad, kogus oma viimases Spark Capitali juhitud investeerimisvoorus 450 miljonit dollarit, kuna kavatseb luua rohkem kommertstooteid.

C-seeria vooru toetavad Google, Salesforce Ventures, Sound Ventures, Zoom Ventures ja teised. Anthropic töötab praegu selle nimel, et kaasata rohkem kliente, kes kasutavad oma suurt keelemudelit Claude. Tegevjuht Dario Amodei ütles, et raha läheb rohkemate toodete ehitamiseks.

"We are thrilled that these leading investors and technology companies are supporting Anthropic's mission: AI research and products that put safety at the frontier. The systems we are building are being designed to provide reliable AI services that can positively impact businesses and consumers now and in the future."

Anthropic said it was focused on building safer products using AI alignment techniques to guide its chatbot into following instructions and generating appropriate responses. The company recently expanded Claude's konteksti aken 100,000 XNUMX märgi toetamiseks, võimaldades korraga töödelda sadu lehekülgi dokumente.

Waymo teeb koostööd Uberiga, et laiendada oma robotaksi teenust

Isejuhtivate autode äriettevõte Waymo teeb meelt populaarseima taksorakendusega Uber, et meelitada Arizona osariigis Phoenixis rohkem sõitjaid. Need kaks võistlesid ühel hetkel üksteisega ägedalt, kuid nüüd käivitavad autonoomse auto tehnoloogia omal moel ja näevad partnerluse eeliseid.

Waymo pakub oma isejuhtivaid sõidukeid, Uber aga oma sõitjate võrgustikku. Uberi kasutajad saavad tervitada Waymo Driveri autosid, et tarnida Uber Eatsi rakenduse kaudu tellitud toitu, või Uberi rakenduse kaudu sihtpunktidesse sõidutada.

"We're excited to offer another way for people to experience the enjoyable and life-saving benefits of full autonomy," Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo, selgitas in a statement this week. "Uber has long been a leader in human-operated ridesharing, and the pairing of our pioneering technology and all-electric fleet with their customer network provides Waymo with an opportunity to reach even more people."

Robotaxi teenus peaks käivitama Arizona osariigis Phoenixis selle aasta lõpus. ®
