General Motors Cuts Funding to Cruise, Nixing Its Robotaxi Plan
The automaker has sunk billions into making a self-driving car service work. Now it says it will focus on “personal” autonomous vehicles instead.
Some language reward models exhibit political bias even when trained on factual data
Large language models (LLMs) that drive generative artificial intelligence apps, such as ChatGPT, have been proliferating at lightning speed and have improved to the point that it is often impossible to distinguish between something written through generative AI and human-composed text. However, these models can also sometimes generate false statements or display a political bias.
Optimizing Machine Learning Models for Production: A Step-by-Step Guide
This article provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide designed to help you navigate the challenge of optimizing your machine learning (ML) models for production, by looking at all stages in their development lifecycle, i.
Momentum Approximation in Asynchronous Private Federated Learning
This paper was accepted for presentation at the International Workshop on Federated Foundation Models (FL@FM-NeurIPS’24), held in conjunction with NeurIPS 2024. Asynchronous protocols have been shown to improve the scalability of federated learning (FL) with a massive number of clients. Meanwhile, momentum-based methods can achieve the best model quality in synchronous FL. However, naively applying …

Accelerating ML experimentation with enhanced security: AWS PrivateLink support for Amazon SageMaker with MLflow
With access to a wide range of generative AI foundation models (FM) and the ability to build and train their own machine learning (ML) models in Amazon SageMaker, users want a seamless and secure way to experiment with and select the models that deliver the most value for their business. In the initial stages of an ML …
Toyota shifts into overdrive: Developing an AI platform for enhanced manufacturing efficiency
The automotive industry is facing a profound transformation, driven by the rise of CASE, — connected cars, autonomous and automated driving, shared mobility, and electrification. Simultaneously, manufacturers face the imperative to further increase efficiency, automate manufacturing, and improve quality. AI has emerged as a critical enabler of this evolution. In this dynamic landscape, Toyota turned …
Defending SOCs Under Siege: Battling Adversarial AI Attacks
With 77% of enterprises victimized by adversarial AI, the question isn’t if your Security Operations Center (SOC) will be targeted—it’s when.Read More
Police Arrest UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Suspect, App Developer Luigi Mangione
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was apprehended on Monday after visiting a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
A cyborg cockroach factory: Automated assembly speeds up the creation of hybrid robots
A team of mechanical engineers at Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore, has developed a way to automate the process of merging live cockroaches and electronics to create cyborg cockroaches, greatly speeding up the process. In their study, available on the arXiv preprint server, the group taught a robot arm to connect electronics to living insects.
Build and refine your audio generation end-to-end with Gemini 1.5 Pro
Generative AI is giving people new ways to experience audio content, from podcasts to audio summaries. For example, users are embracing NotebookLM’s recent Audio Overview feature, which turns documents into audio conversations. With one click, two AI hosts start up a lively “deep dive” discussion based on the sources you provide. They summarize your material, …
