🐾 IN TODAY'S WILD
One CIO says AI training is essential, arguing that "relentless learners will create the future." However, misuse is already causing problems. An Australian lawyer apologized for using AI to generate fake legal quotes, while a pro-Trump network published a fake, AI-generated image of "women soldiers."
These incidents are part of a broader trend of AI misuse. Researchers found "only positive reviews" prompts in academic papers from top universities, and the use of AI by "hackers everywhere" is creating a cybersecurity arms race.
On the positive side, Google released a new open-source library for data extraction, and a study showcased AI's use in processing astronomical data. The field of "interpretability" is also growing, aiming to help us understand how AI models "think."
