The EU agrees final text of a complicated new AI Act while Britain declares it wants to adapt old rules for new tech.

Apple’s MGIE is a revolutionary AI model that can edit images based on natural language instructions, using multimodal large language models to generate expressive and imaginative edits.

Transformer-based large language models are making significant strides in various fields, such as natural language processing1–5, biology6,7, chemistry8–10 and computer programming11,12. Here, we show the development and capabilities of Coscientist, an artificial intelligence system driven by GPT-4 that autonomously designs, plans and performs complex experiments by incorporating large language models empowered by tools such as internet and documentation search, code execution and ex...

Whose Creators They Failed to Credit

A Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Chair at Google gave ordinary Americans a window into this toxic and racist ideology when she ripped into a departing colleague on social media. 

Yahoo's Rajdeep Sarkar talks about his work as a research scientist in the areas of deep learning and natural language processing, and how one can excel in this space.

As dialogue agents become increasingly human-like in their performance, we must develop effective ways to describe their behaviour in high-level terms without falling into the trap of anthropomorphism. Here we foreground the concept of role play. Casting dialogue-agent behaviour in terms of role play allows us to draw on familiar folk psychological terms, without ascribing human characteristics to language models that they in fact lack. Two important cases of dialogue-agent behaviour are address...

The power of human language and thought arises from systematic compositionality—the algebraic ability to understand and produce novel combinations from known components. Fodor and Pylyshyn1 famously argued that artificial neural networks lack this capacity and are therefore not viable models of the mind. Neural networks have advanced considerably in the years since, yet the systematicity challenge persists. Here we successfully address Fodor and Pylyshyn’s challenge by providing evid...

AI-driven model matches experts in offering insightful feedback on scientific manuscripts, proving equally effective if not more, in evaluating research quality and potential. The tool, based on the GPT-4 architecture, efficiently streamlines the peer review process, offering tailored suggestions that many researchers found valuable and intent to reuse.
