The US Federal Trade Commission warns against QR code scams that can take control of smartphones, make fraudulent charges, or obtain personal information. Scammers are targeting QR codes on parking lot kiosks, leading to look-alike sites that funnel funds to fraudulent accounts.
The article discusses the launch of ChatGPT and the rise in popularity of generative AI. It highlights the creation of a web UI called Chat Studio to interact with foundation models in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, including Llama 2 and Stable Diffusion. This solution allows users to quickly experience conversational AI and enhance the user experience with media integration.
Spectral clustering is a complex machine learning technique that uncovers patterns in data. Implementing it involves computing affinity and Laplacian matrices, eigenvector embeddings, and performing k-means clustering.
LLMs like Llama 2, Flan T5, and Bloom are essential for conversational AI use cases, but updating their knowledge requires retraining, which is time-consuming and expensive. However, with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Amazon Sagemaker JumpStart and Pinecone vector database, LLMs can be deployed and kept up to date with relevant information to prevent AI Hallucination.
Data projects often fail to deliver real-life impact due to macro-elements such as data availability, skillset, timeframe, organizational readiness, and political environment. The availability and accessibility of relevant data are fundamental, and if data is unattainable, the feasibility of the project should be reconsidered.
