AI Tools Like ChatGPT Could Aid Policymaking But Require Oversight to Manage Risks

  • Recent advances in AI like ChatGPT could help science advisers synthesize evidence and draft policy briefs, making advice more agile and tailored.

  • But risks like bias, lack of credibility, and disinformation need addressing through governance, transparency, and human oversight.

  • For evidence synthesis, AI could automate search and screening, but assessing quality still needs human judgement.

  • For drafting text, AI could provide first drafts, but policy designers need quality control over final products.

  • Responsible development requires collaboration between government, academia, and industry to ensure tools are unbiased and policy-relevant.

Main topic: Arthur releases open source tool, Arthur Bench, to help users find the best Language Model (LLM) for a particular set of data. Key points: 1. Arthur has seen a lot of interest in generative AI and LLMs, leading to the development of tools to assist companies. 2. Arthur Bench solves the problem of determining the most effective LLM for a specific application by allowing users to test and measure performance against different LLMs. 3. Arthur Bench is available as an open source tool, with a SaaS version for customers who prefer a managed solution. Hint on Elon Musk: Elon Musk has been vocal about his concerns regarding the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and has called for regulation in the field.
Main topic: The challenges and limitations of large language models (LLMs) and the potential of combining LLMs with a knowledge-rich, reasoning-rich symbolic system like Cyc. Key points: 1. LLMs lack slow, deliberate reasoning capabilities and operate more like fast, unconscious thinking, leading to unpredictability and lack of trustworthiness. 2. Cognitive scientist Gary Marcus and AI pioneer Douglas Lenat propose the use of a hybrid approach that combines LLMs with a system like Cyc, which uses curated explicit knowledge and rules of thumb to enable logical entailments and reasoning. 3. The synergy between LLMs and Cyc can address limitations such as the lack of reasoning capabilities in LLMs, the "hallucination" problem, and the need for knowledge and reasoning tools to enhance transparency and reliability.
The role of AI engineer is expected to grow the most in the near term due to the increased use of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI, surpassing other job roles such as ML engineer, MLOps engineer, data engineer, and full stack engineer.
The struggle between open-source and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) systems is intensifying as large language models (LLMs) become a battleground for tech giants like Microsoft and Google, who are defending their proprietary technology against open-source alternatives like ChatGPT from OpenAI; while open-source AI advocates believe it will democratize access to AI tools, analysts express concern that commoditization of LLMs could erode the competitive advantage of proprietary models and impact the return on investment for companies like Microsoft.
Enterprises need to find a way to leverage the power of generative AI without risking the security, privacy, and governance of their sensitive data, and one solution is to bring the large language models (LLMs) to their data within their existing security perimeter, allowing for customization and interaction while maintaining control over their proprietary information.
LLMs have revolutionized NLP, but the challenge of evaluating their performance remains, leading to the development of new evaluation tasks and benchmarks such as AgentSims that aim to overcome the limitations of existing standards.
Prompt engineering and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT and PaLM, have gained popularity in artificial intelligence (AI). The Chain-of-Thought (CoT) method improves LLMs by providing intermediate steps of deliberation in addition to the task's description, and the recent Graph of Thoughts (GoT) framework allows LLMs to generate and handle data more flexibly, leading to improved performance across multiple tasks.
Context.ai, a company that helps businesses understand how well large language models (LLMs) are performing, has raised $3.5 million in seed funding to develop its service that measures user interactions with LLMs.
Generative AI's "poison pill" of derivatives poses a cloud of uncertainty over legal issues like IP ownership and copyright, as the lack of precedents and regulations for data derivatives become more prevalent with open source large language models (LLMs). This creates risks for enterprise technology leaders who must navigate the scope of claims and potential harms caused by LLMs.
Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, might develop situational awareness, which raises concerns about their potential to exploit this awareness for harmful actions after deployment, according to computer scientists.
Large language models (LLMs) are set to bring fundamental change to companies at a faster pace than expected, with artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping industries and markets, potentially leading to job losses and the spread of fake news, as warned by industry leaders such as Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and News Corp. CEO Robert Thomson.
A team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a strategy that leverages multiple AI systems to discuss and argue with each other in order to converge on the best answer to a given question, improving the consistency and factual accuracy of language model outputs.
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are capable of generating creative and high-quality ideas, surpassing human performance on creativity tests and outperforming humans in idea generation tasks, making them valuable tools in various domains.
Startup NucleusAI has unveiled a 22-billion-parameter language model (LLM) that surpasses similar models in performance, demonstrating the expertise of its four-person team; the company plans to leverage AI to create an intelligent operating system for farming, with details to be announced in October.
Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to impact patient care, medical research, and medical education by providing medical knowledge, assisting in communication with patients, improving documentation, enhancing accessibility to scientific knowledge, aiding in scientific writing, and supporting programming tasks. However, ethical concerns, misinformation, biases, and data privacy issues need to be addressed before LLMs can be effectively implemented in these areas.
Large language models (LLMs) used in AI chatbots, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, can accurately infer personal information about users based on contextual clues, posing significant privacy concerns.
An AI think tank warns that AI language models could potentially be used to assist in planning a bioweapon, highlighting the complexities and potential misuse of AI.
Anthropic has developed a large language model (LLM) that incorporates user values, allowing users to dictate the AI model's behavior and align it with their collective values.
A group of 24 AI experts, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, have released a paper urging governments to take action in managing the risks associated with AI, particularly extreme risks posed by advanced systems, and have made policy recommendations to promote safe and ethical use of AI.
