AI supremacy: The artificial intelligence battle between China, USA and Europe | DW Documentary
The mayor of Heidelberg feeds error messages back to the Aleph Alpha AI for recommendations on how to develop a system that does not exhibit them. Jina demos a generative AI that creates a story from an image. (Like hearsay, that hints at moral issues of such examples for memory or motive. In sociology, demos can mean treating a people, or Greek state, as a political entity.)
The promise and peril of AI
Elsewhere on Recursive Analysis: "In the framework we have outlined, risk characterization cannot succeed as an activity added at the end of a risk analysis, but must result from a recursive process that includes problem formulation, analysis, and deliberation. " - Stern, P. C., & Fineberg, H. V. (1996). Understanding Risk: Informing Decisions in a Democratic Society. (How do you derive a problem set for AI?) (Also ran the NAS book through Gemini 1.5 Pro which remarked: "The text focuses on risk characterization and an analytic-deliberative process. The closest term is "recursive process", which refers to a series of tasks and feedbacks that allow for learning by all participants in the risk decision process." That yielded an answer to the question on problem sets which led to another about how it related to risk analysis. These models might eventually be considered as types of participants, although the ethics might differ. And like other areas of tech, they may also introduce potential research impacts. The classic modes of discussions were journals and conferences. Models introduce multimodal decision-making. Also mixtures of experts. Ideally, that can be used to scale up complexity. The social reaction is often unknown, but other types of correlation may now be feasible. Futurists would be looking for how to characterize the odds. How to know relevant regulations and when something will be out of bounds. There is usually going to be another term for a new type of capitalism. Socialists do not seem to want to be on either of the extremes, East or West.)
Unveiling the Power of Juror Questionnaires and AI in Law - Jury Analyst
(In sample transcripts, the voir dire can be en masse in court at the start of proceedings for the case, parties, attorneys, prior claims, and any relatives in professions such as legal, investigative, or enforcement, any prior jury experience specifying which type, any prejudices, any legal activism to change the laws, difficulty in following instructions, whether an extended trial introduces hardships, acquaintance with any of the other jurors, or prior testifimony as a witness. During the trial, juror's may raise questions about evidence, witnesses, events, or procedures. AI trends may introduce alternatives to solely jurists, juries, or arbitration.)
Uh-oh, X's Grok AI can now 'understand' images
Despite xAI's continued investment, Grok has yet to stick with early users and staff — a new report alleges its own developers struggle to use the slow xAI API. That same report, published by Fortune this week, highlighted X employee concerns about Musk suggesting Grok write paid user's posts for them, despite warnings from developers and staff. Last week, Grok came under fire for generating fake news headlines from an alternate reality where Iran had assailed Tel Aviv with a military arsenal — not its first time.
Lex Fridman on X: "Beware of warmongers and the military-industrial complex. A full-on regional war will lead to immeasurable suffering for everyone. It must be avoided at all costs." / X
(A current election-year blockbuster is titled Civil War where the press does better than the comms. Franklin is about the inventor diplomat. Games invite comparison to Total Recall. Or Fallout. Cybernetics is dual use, including social control. Also still looking for proxies rather than AI Dominance. Democracy seeks to empower the individual. Locally, it is the anniversary of Patriot's Day.)
Inside China's AI Ecosystem: A View From Beijing
In this episode, we explore the Chinese AI ecosystem with 'L-squared,' an anonymous tech worker based in Beijing. We discuss major players, model quality, public engagement, regulation, and the US 'chip ban.' Discover the similarities and differences between US and Chinese AI landscapes, and gain a nuanced perspective on the current state of AI in China.
