Microsoft Fires AI Ethics Team

Microsoft has laid off its entire ethics and society team, which was responsible for ensuring the company's AI principles were closely tied to product design. The layoffs affected 10,000 employees across the company. The company's Office of Responsible AI still exists, but some former employees said the ethics and society team played a critical role in ensuring that the company's responsible AI principles are reflected in the design of the products that ship.

The ethics and society team was at its largest in 2020 when it had roughly 30 employees including engineers, designers, and philosophers. In October, the team was cut to roughly seven people as part of a reorganization.

In a meeting with the team following the reorg, John Montgomery, corporate vice president of AI, told employees that company leaders had instructed them to move swiftly. “The pressure from [CTO] Kevin [Scott] and [CEO] Satya [Nadella] is very, very high to take these most recent OpenAI models and the ones that come after them and move them into customers’ hands at a very high speed,” he said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by Platformer.

Now we know why BingAI Threatened to kill everyone lol

New AI Can Read Minds

Researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI algorithm that can reconstruct images from brain scans with 80% accuracy. The algorithm, based on the popular AI program Stable Diffusion, was modified by the researchers to link brain scans of four people with 10,000 images they looked at.

The algorithm pulls information from the parts of the brain involved in image perception, such as the occipital and temporal lobes. The researchers believe this technology could one day help explore how animals perceive the world, aid communication with paralyzed people, and record dreams.

The study is yet to be peer-reviewed, and the experiment only involved four people. However, the researchers claim that their method can reconstruct high-resolution images with high semantic fidelity without requiring training or fine-tuning of complex deep-learning models.

Got a lot of potential.

Standford ChatGPT?

Stanford researchers have developed a new AI model called Alpaca 7B, which performs at the same level as OpenAI's ChatGPT. The researchers achieved this by upgrading Meta's LLaMA using data generated by GPT-3, which only cost $600 and took 3 hours to fine-tune.

This demonstrates that open-source models like LLaMA are catching up to closed-source models like OpenAI. The availability of open-source models makes it easier for people to train and optimize them for specific purposes. Alpaca is just one of the many projects built on top of LLaMA, and some have even made it small enough to run on a personal laptop.
