The current AGI (1AI note: General Artificial Intelligence) fever has been unabated. OpenAI CEO Altman believes that AGI will be realized earlier than expected with the support of existing hardware, while former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that once AI begins to improve itself, we should consider suspending its further development. In an interview with U.S. television network ABC News on the 17th of this month, Schmidt said: "Eventually you may be able to tell the computer, 'Learn everything, do everything. When the system is able to improve itself, we have to seriously consider whether we want to unplug it...

December 18, 2011 - In a blog post published on December 17, the Google DeepMind team announced the launch of the FACTS Grounding benchmark test, which evaluates the ability of large-scale language models (LLMs) to accurately answer questions based on given material and avoid "hallucinations" (i.e., fabricated information), thus enhancing the factual accuracy of LLMs and expanding their application scope. This will improve the factual accuracy of LLMs, increase user trust, and expand their applications. Dataset In terms of dataset, the ACTS Grounding dataset contains 1719 examples covering finance, technology, retail,...

Google on December 17 released a new AI image generation tool called Whisk, which allows users to use other images as prompts to generate images without the need for lengthy text prompts. Users can specify the theme, scene, and style of the AI-generated image by simply providing the image. When using Whisk, you can provide multiple images as prompts for each theme, scene, and style. (Of course, users can still choose to use text prompts.) If you don't have a suitable image on hand, you can click on the dice icon and Google will automatically fill in some images as hints...

Dec. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Google has made it clear, in the form of an updated usage policy, that customers can use its generative AI tools to make "automated decisions" in "high-risk" areas such as healthcare, as long as there is human oversight. According to an update to the company's Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy released Tuesday, customers can use Google's generative AI to make "automated decisions" that could have a significant adverse impact on individuals' rights under certain conditions, such as in the areas of employment, housing, insurance and social benefits.

The model's video comprehension feature extends the communication model...

On Wednesday, U.S. time, Google unveiled an intelligent body (A.I. agent) that can browse websites autonomously. The experimental tool is capable of browsing spreadsheets, shopping sites, and other online services and then performing actions on behalf of the user. Currently, chatbots can answer questions, write poetry or generate images. In the future, they may also be able to independently perform tasks such as online shopping and operate tools such as spreadsheets. Google is launching a prototype of this intelligence called Mariner. several tech companies are developing similar intelligences, including startups such as OpenAI and Anthropic...

Google's investment in the field of artificial intelligence can be said to be huge, and in order to truly understand its vision in the field of virtual assistants, we have to pay attention to the Project Astra program. As early as in the spring of this year's Google I / O conference, Google demonstrated this full-featured multimodal virtual assistant, and positioned it as a "constant companion" in the life of the user. Although the technology is still between a "concept video" and an "early prototype," it represents Google's most ambitious attempt at artificial intelligence. In Astra's demo, one recurring element caught people's attention: the eye...

Beijing time this morning, according to The Information, citing sources familiar with the matter, Google has recently pressured the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to lift Microsoft's exclusive agreement to host OpenAI technology on its cloud servers. The comments came after the FTC asked Google about Microsoft's business practices. It is understood that the purpose of the FTC inquiry was to conduct a broader investigation. A range of Microsoft competitors such as Google and Amazon want to host OpenAI's AI services themselves, with the aim of eliminating the need for their cloud customers to both...

Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Google says its new family of artificial intelligence models has a nifty feature: the ability to "recognize" emotions. Google on Thursday unveiled PaliGemma 2, its newest family of AI models, which has image analysis capabilities that can generate descriptions of images and answer questions about the people in them. In its blog post, Google describes PaliGemma 2 as being able to not only recognize objects, but also generate detailed and contextually relevant image descriptions that cover actions, emotions, and the overall narrative of the scene. PaliGemma 2's emotion-recognition feature isn't out-of-the-box...
