The White House has a plan to promote ethical Artificial Intelligence

The White House AI Intervention on Ethics, AI for the Public Good, and a Declaration of Interest to the Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy also said that $140 million will be diverted towards launching seven new National AI Research Institutes focused on developing ethical, transformative AI for the public good, bringing the total number to 25 nationwide.

“These steps build on the Administration’s strong record of leadership to ensure technology improves the lives of the American people, and break new ground in the federal government’s ongoing effort to advance a cohesive and comprehensive approach to AI-related risks and opportunities,” the administration’s press release said. It does not specify the details of what the Def Con evaluation will include, beyond saying that it will “allow these models to be evaluated thoroughly by thousands of community partners and AI experts.”

The White House AI intervention comes as appetite for regulating the technology is growing around the world, fueled by the hype and investment sparked by ChatGPT. In the parliament of the European Union, lawmakers are negotiating final updates to a sweeping AI Act that will restrict and even ban some uses of AI, including adding coverage of generative AI. The Brazilian government is considering a regulation regarding human rights in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Points will be awarded under a “Capture the Flag” format to encourage participants to test for a wide range of bugs or unsavory behavior from the AI systems. The event will be carried out with the help of Microsoft, SeedAI, and Humane Intelligence. She previously led a group at Twitter working on ethics and machine learning, and hosted a bias bounty that uncovered bias in the social network’s automatic photo cropping.

Phone data could reduce GPS errors by 10-20% in some areas, and more in underserved regions, said Ningbo Wang, an atmospheric physicist at the aerospace information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Wang’s analysis showed that the noise in phone measurements has a standard deviation of around 70 TECU, more than 30 times larger than the measurement noise for traditional monitoring stations.

Modelling the consequences of the Australian megafires for biodiversity using a t-test with denominator degrees of freedom adjusted for random effects. The dataset was divided into two periods, Year 1 and Year 2. To evaluate the effects between years, the dataset was divided into two periods: Year 1 and Year 2. We used the time gaps in survey dates to maximise the data.

Body casts from Pompeii show who the victims were

Researchers found that Pompeii’s population was genetically diverse, which is a reversal from previous theories. The researchers used the remains of Pompeiians being pulled from their bodies and placed into casts to fill the voids left by their decomposing bodies. They had the opportunity to collect some of these fragments during efforts to restore 86 of the 104 plaster casts.

Atomic nuclei being Smashed together reveal their shapes

admin

Researchers have revealed a new technique toImage the shape of atomic nuclei – by smashing them together with high-energy collisions. Current methods take a long-exposure photo of an atom’s nucleus, which doesn’t capture the subtle variations in how the protons and neutrons arrange themselves. The new method involves collision of nuclei and use of information on debris to determine their shape.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro M4 with the M4 CPU is as good as any other MacBook Pro you’ve likely laid hands upon, a report said. “If you’re currently running an M3-based MacBook, the cautious answer is almost definitely not,” the report added. It also said that Apple has put a little more thought into upgrading user experience, at least behind the scenes.
