The promise and peril of AI
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.)

(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
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.

(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.)

OpenEQA: From word models to world models
OpenEQA: From word models to world models
OpenEQA combines challenging open-vocabulary questions with the ability to answer in natural language. This results in a straightforward benchmark that demonstrates a strong understanding of the environment—and poses a considerable challenge to current foundational models. We hope this work motivates additional research into helping AI understand and communicate about the world it sees.

How LLMs Can Boost Legal Productivity (with Accuracy and Privacy)
How LLMs Can Boost Legal Productivity (with Accuracy and Privacy)
Generative AI is significantly advancing modern legal technology, and we see two primary groups using it to build new solutions. The first, unsurprisingly, is the legal tech market, which is estimated to exceed $45 billion by 2030. Legal tech firms can give solo lawyers and small firms the technological leverage they need to compete against their larger counterparts. The second user group is large legal firms. They have the resources needed to deploy generative AI solutions themselves.

Benchmarking the leading AI chat experience | You.com

In February 2024, You.com conducted a benchmarking study to evaluate the performance of its AI chat experience compared to competitors. You.com partnered with an independent vendor, Invisible Technologies, where independent evaluators rated responses from eight AI models, including free and paid offerings, across five criteria using a set of 120 representative user queries.

YouPro Modes, the premium offerings from You.com, outperformed ChatGPT 4 and Perplexity Pro in overall user preference. YouPro Modes also scored higher on comprehensiveness, factual accuracy, and faithfulness to the prompt’s intent. You.com’s free Smart Mode was the top-performing free model, beating ChatGPT 3.5 and Perplexity in overall user preference as well as accuracy and clarity.

Was able to upload and interrogate the pair of HTML files downloaded for a combined 12.3 MB from Quora content. The apps may eventually be more integrated. At least, chatbots have benefitted elsewhere from editors or notebooks. Although it did think the voice was more Gen Xer than Boomer. Incidentally, Google AI Studio also offers access to Gemini 1.5. However, neither could parse YouTube links like the Gemini Pro/Ultra site.

AI to Make Originalist Historical Analysis Easier, US Judge Says
“Perhaps judges may rely on AI for assistance—a form of expert opinion if you will,” Bush said. “For instance, one could argue that it would be permissible for a judge to use AI analysis of statistical probability that a word or phrase had a particular sense or meaning in a particular historical period.”

In a future with more ‘mind reading,’ thanks to neurotech, we may need to rethink freedom of thought
But one thing is certain: With or without neurotech, our control over our own minds is already less absolute than many of us like to think.
