Discover the Latest AI Breakthroughs: OpenAI’s AGI, AI-Powered F1 Track Fixes, and More!
Today, November 23, witnessed significant advancements in the artificial intelligence landscape. Firstly, OpenAI researchers reportedly sent a letter to the board directors, cautioning them about a groundbreaking AI discovery that could potentially pose a threat to humanity. This incident occurred a day prior to Sam Altman’s dismissal. Additionally, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) has announced its intention to utilize the 2023 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix as a platform to train AI, aiming to enhance track limit monitoring and prevent accidents. These are just a few highlights from today’s AI roundup, and we will delve deeper into these developments.
OpenAI researchers make major AGI discovery
A recent Reuters report revealed that before Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, researchers sent a letter to the government that revealed a potential breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AGI), which is considered superintelligence. The algorithm, called Q* (pronounced Q-star), showed promising problem-solving abilities in the field of mathematics, fueling optimism about its future success. According to the report, the reported letter may have influenced Altman’s firing. However, OpenAI neither confirmed nor denied the correctness of the reported information.
The FIA plans to use artificial intelligence to fix F1 circuit border controls
The FIA plans to use the 2023 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix to exercise artificial intelligence, specifically Computer Vision, with the aim of improving race management to monitor Formula 1 track boundaries in 2024, reports Race.com. This artificial intelligence system is intended to automatically correct marginal violations of border limits that currently require human inspection. F1 vice-president Tim Malyon and FIA information systems strategy manager Chris Bentley discussed the development of a planned “remote operations centre” to support the race director in an internal interview published by the FIA.
Italy is investigating extensive data collection practices to train artificial intelligence
According to a Reuters report, Italy’s data protection authority has opened an investigation into the collection of extensive personal data online to train artificial intelligence models. As one of the most proactive of the 31 national data protection authorities, it investigates compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This change follows a previous temporary ban on ChatGPT in Italy for data protection reasons. The aim of the report is to assess whether online platforms are taking sufficient measures to prevent AI systems from participating in data capture, thereby ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
The US Court of Appeals requires lawyers to confirm the use of artificial intelligence in applications
According to a Reuters report, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is considering a rule that would require lawyers to certify that they did not rely solely on AI programs or, if AI was used, that a human review ensured accuracy. This proposed regulation, the first of its kind in the nation’s federal appeals courts, addresses the use of generative artificial intelligence tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Attorneys who do not comply risk having their application forfeited and facing penalties. Public comments on the proposal are being accepted until January 4.
Himachal Pradesh CM inaugurates AI-based data center
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu inaugurated the Vidhya Samiksha Kendra, an AI-based data repository aimed at improving learning outcomes in schools in Himachal Pradesh, reported PTI. Powered by SwiftChat AI, Vidhya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) aims to bring about systemic change through technology and data-driven approaches. The government is planning reforms to the education sector to create a system where government school students feel at par with monastic schools, and visible changes are expected in the next academic session.
