Asking ChatGPT to repeat specific words โforeverโ is now flagged as a violation of the chatbotโs terms of service and content policy. Google DeepMind researchers used the tactic to get ChatGPT to repeat portions of its training data, revealing sensitive privately identifiable information (PII) of normal people and highlighting that ChatGPT is trained on randomly scraped content from all over the internet.

AI meets materials science: the promise and pitfalls of automated discovery. Last week, a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley published a highly anticipated paper in the journal Nature describing an โautonomous laboratoryโ or โA-Labโ that aimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to accelerate the discovery and synthesis of new materials. ย By Bryson Masse via VentureBeat
AI's carbon footprint is bigger than you think. I just published a story on new research that calculated the real carbon footprint of using generative AI models. Generating one image takes as much energy as fully charging your smartphone, according to a study from researchers at the AI startup Hugging Face and Carnegie Mellon University.
