Hackers have begun exploiting a critical vulnerability in widely used VPN software sold by Ivanti, adding to the chaos caused by previous vulnerabilities. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has mandated all federal agencies to disconnect Ivanti VPN products until rebuilt with the latest software version.
MIT PhD student Behrooz Tahmasebi and advisor Stefanie Jegelka have modified Weyl's law to incorporate symmetry in assessing the complexity of data, potentially enhancing machine learning. Their work, presented at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference, demonstrates that models satisfying symmetries can produce predictions with smaller errors and require less training data, partic...
Microsoft is partnering with Semafor to develop news stories using AI chatbot, amid a multibillion-dollar lawsuit from the New York Times. Microsoft is sponsoring a breaking news feed called "Signals," offering a global perspective and providing substantial financial support to Semafor.
A new study by the ITIF calls for governments to adopt AI to drive energy efficiency across industries, citing examples such as farmers using AI to reduce fertilizer and water usage, and factories deploying it to increase energy efficiency. The study's author emphasizes the need for policymakers to not hold back beneficial uses of AI, especially in regulated areas like healthcare.
Amazon SageMaker Canvas, launched in 2021, offers a code-free approach to building and deploying machine learning models. The latest updates introduce new generative AI capabilities, including support for Meta Llama 2 and Mistral.AI models, making it easier for users to harness the power of AI without writing code.
Doctors have lower accuracy in diagnosing skin diseases on darker skin, with dermatologists accurately characterizing only 34% of images compared to 38% for lighter skin. Artificial intelligence algorithms can improve accuracy, but the disparity suggests a need for changes in dermatology education and training.
HSR.health uses Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities to create a tool that provides accurate disease spread information, aiming to prevent zoonotic disease outbreaks before they become global. The risk index uses over 20 factors to assess human-wildlife interaction and utilizes satellite imagery and remote sensing for data analysis.
Unveiling the Power of Imperceptible Watermarks: Safeguarding Art and Detecting AI-Generated Content
Imperceptible watermarks offer a way to protect digital content without compromising quality, allowing creators to assert ownership and detect AI-generated content. Tech companies like Meta and Google are developing breakthrough watermarking systems to mitigate the overflow of dangerous AI-generated content on the internet.
Hacker-for-hire firm, Appin Technology, and its subsidiaries have allegedly been involved in cyber-espionage, using legal threats to silence publishers reporting on their activities. Anti-censorship voices are now fighting back against their aggressive censorship campaign.
