The tech elite of Silicon Valley are chattering excitedly over babyAGI, the new AI kid on the block. While it doesn’t quite live up to AGI (artificial general intelligence)—the omnipotent AI heavyweight that gives Elon Musk sleepless nights—babyAGI is still a dazzling and noteworthy addition to the AI playground. babyAGI In a nutshell, babyAGI morphs...

The Universal LLM Jailbreak
In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI ChatGPT, GPT-4, Google BARD, Microsoft BING, Anthropic are revolutionizing the way we interact with technology by understanding and generating human-like text, paving the way for a myriad of applications in diverse fields. However, LLMs are far from perfect, and their safety...
AI Breathes Life into Virtual Town
Stanford and Google researchers bring to life 25 AI-driven characters in Smallville, a Sims-like virtual world. Using ChatGPT, they create realistic simulations and interactions, potentially revolutionizing gaming with complex NPC conversations and activities.
Google’s powerful AI spotlights a human cognitive glitch: Mistaking fluent speech for fluent thought
When you read a sentence like this one, your past experience tells you that it’s written by a thinking, feeling human. And, in this case, there is indeed a human typing these words: [Hi, there!] But these days, some sentences that appear remarkably humanlike are actually generated by artificial intelligence systems trained on massive amounts...
Do AI systems really have their own secret language?
A new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) models can produce “creative” images on-demand based on a text prompt. The likes of Imagen, MidJourney, and DALL-E 2 are beginning to change the way creative content is made with implications for copyright and intellectual property. While the output of these models is often striking, it’s hard to...
What is consciousness?
Consciousness refers to the state of being aware of and able to think, feel and perceive. It is the ability to be aware of your surroundings and make decisions. It is the ability to be aware of your own thoughts and feelings and to interact with the world around you. Consciousness is thought to be...
Is Google’s LaMDA conscious? A philosopher’s view
LaMDA is Google’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. Blake Lemoine, a Google AI engineer, has claimed it is sentient. He’s been put on leave after publishing his conversations with LaMDA. If Lemoine’s claims are true, it would be a milestone in the history of humankind and technological development. Google strongly denies LaMDA has any sentient...
OpenAI’s most recent picture-making AI DALL-E is incredible
OpenAI's picture-making neural network DALL-E was revealed in 2021. The program's human-like ability of combining different concepts in new ways was remarkable when it was first announced. It produced images that were surreal and cartoonish but showed that the AI had learnt key lessons about how the world works together. DALL-E's avocado chairs had all...
What is GPT-3?
GPT-3, also known as the third generation Generative Pre-trained Transformer is a neural network machine-learning model that uses internet data to generate any kind of text. Developed by OpenAI, it requires very little input text to produce large volumes of machine-generated text that is relevant and sophisticated. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as an independent...
How AI will change the design industry
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the design industry, making designers more efficient and giving them new capabilities. However, AI is still mostly unknown to many designers, and figuring out exactly how it will work in the design world is very much open for discussion. AI is a buzzword that is often used...
