Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said
Tech behemoth OpenAI has touted its artificial intelligence-powered transcription tool Whisper as having near “human level robustness and accuracy.”
Divide-or-Conquer? Which Part Should You Distill Your LLM?
Recent methods have demonstrated that Large Language Models (LLMs) can solve reasoning tasks better when they are encouraged to solve subtasks of the main task first. In this paper we devise a similar strategy that breaks down reasoning tasks into a problem decomposition phase and a problem solving phase and show that the strategy is …

Chinese Hackers Target Trump Campaign via Verizon Breach
Plus: Apple offers $1 million to hack its AI cloud infrastructure, Iranian hackers successfully peddle stolen Trump campaign docs, Russia hacks the nation of Georgia, and a “cyberattack” that wasn’t.
AI mimics neocortex computations with ‘winner-take-all’ approach
Over the past decade or so, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced computational techniques that can tackle real-world tasks with human-comparable accuracy. While many of these artificial intelligence (AI) models have achieved remarkable results, they often do not precisely replicate the computations performed by the human brain.
Combining Machine Learning and Homomorphic Encryption in the Apple Ecosystem
At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Our work to protect user privacy is informed by a set of privacy principles, and one of those principles is to prioritize using on-device processing. By performing computations locally on a user’s device, we help minimize the amount of data that is shared with Apple …

Super charge your LLMs with RAG at scale using AWS Glue for Apache Spark
Large language models (LLMs) are very large deep-learning models that are pre-trained on vast amounts of data. LLMs are incredibly flexible. One model can perform completely different tasks such as answering questions, summarizing documents, translating languages, and completing sentences. LLMs have the potential to revolutionize content creation and the way people use search engines and …
