⚡ LATEST IN TECH AND AI
Proton has introduced Proton Scribe, a privacy-focused AI writing assistant for Proton Mail. This tool operates on-device to ensure user data privacy, generating email drafts from simple prompts without retaining or sharing data. Available on Proton Mail for web and desktop with plans for mobile expansion, it aims to enhance email composition for business users while addressing privacy concerns inherent in AI tools
Google has partnered with NBCUniversal and Team USA for the Paris 2024 Olympics to integrate its AI technologies, including Gemini, into the broadcast. Gemini AI will provide real-time insights, enhance search functionalities, and offer interactive features for viewers. This collaboration aims to showcase how AI can enrich the Olympic viewing experience by offering detailed information, enhanced visuals, and engaging content across NBC's platforms
A recent survey reveals widespread misconceptions about AI among the US public. Approximately 20% of respondents believe AI systems are already sentient, while 30% think artificial general intelligences (AGIs) capable of performing any human task are in existence. Conducted by Jacy Reese Anthis and colleagues, the survey highlights that perceptions of AI as sentient are influenced by hype and anthropomorphism in media and marketing.
💻 DEV RESOURCES
Google DeepMind, Google, and UMass Amherst have developed FLAMe, a family of open-source models designed to evaluate the quality of AI-generated text with reduced bias. Trained on over 5.3 million human ratings, FLAMe outperforms commercial systems like GPT-4 in various tasks, including factual accuracy and attribution. This development aims to foster transparency in AI text evaluation while acknowledging the potential risks of over-reliance on automated systems.
OpenAI researchers have developed a novel method to improve AI explainability by pitting two AI models against each other in a game of deception. This approach leverages one AI attempting to deceive another, which helps researchers better understand and improve the interpretability of AI decision-making processes. This method aims to address the "black box" nature of AI models, enhancing transparency and trust in AI systems.
Salesforce has introduced Einstein Service Agent, a fully autonomous AI designed to enhance customer self-service experiences. Unlike traditional chatbots, this AI agent leverages large language models to understand context and perform tasks such as managing orders, cancellations, and exchanges autonomously. It can interact through various messaging platforms and seamlessly transfer complex issues to human agents, providing a summary and suggested first response to streamline the handoff process. This new agent aims to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction in handling service inquiries.
