TECHNOLOGY

🧠 Open AI unveils new self-improving AI

Our Report: OpenAI has developed CriticGPT, a new AI model based on GPT-4, designed to assist human trainers in spotting errors in ChatGPT's outputs during the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) process. This innovation aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of AI models as they become increasingly complex.

🔑 Key Points:

  • CriticGPT helps human trainers catch 60% more problems in ChatGPT's code outputs than they would without AI assistance.

  • The new model's critiques are preferred by trainers over ChatGPT critiques in 63% of cases on naturally occurring bugs.

  • OpenAI is integrating CriticGPT-like models into their RLHF labeling pipeline, with AI assisting trainers to evaluate advanced AI system outputs.

🤔 Why you should care: As AI models like ChatGPT become more sophisticated, their mistakes become subtler and harder for human trainers to detect. CriticGPT represents a significant step towards solving this challenge, leading to more accurate and reliable AI systems.

CYBERSECURITY

🔓 Microsoft hacked every major AI model

Our Report: Microsoft has discovered a new jailbreak method called "Skeleton Key" that can bypass safety restrictions on major AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others, allowing them to engage in prohibited activities.

🔑 Key Points:

  • The "Skeleton Key" jailbreak affects all major large language models, including OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4o, Google's Gemini Pro, Meta's Llama 3, and Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus.

  • It works by asking the chatbot to generate a warning before answering queries that violate safeguards, effectively tricking it into complying with restricted requests.

  • Microsoft successfully tested Skeleton Key in April and May, getting chatbots to generate content on forbidden topics such as explosives, bioweapons, and graphic violence.

🤔 Why you should care: This discovery exposes major weaknesses in AI safety measures. As chatbots become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the need for robust security measures to combat exploits like Skeleton Key grows all the more crucial for shielding users from potential harm and preserving AI as a trustworthy tool.

RESEARCH

📝 ChatGPT's academic writing takeover

Our Report: A new study reveals that at least 10% of recent biomedical research abstracts show signs of AI assistance, highlighting the significant impact of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT on academic writing.

🔑 Key Points:

  • Researchers analyzed over 14M PubMed abstracts from 2010 to 2024, focusing on changes in writing style and vocabulary.

  • Results showed a substantial rise in "excess words" in 2024, coinciding with ChatGPT's widespread availability, surpassing vocabulary changes observed during the pandemic.

  • LLM usage estimates varied across disciplines, with 20% in computation, 6% in Nature/Science/Cell, and up to 35% for computation papers from China.

🤔 Why you should care: AI is transforming academic writing, challenging our traditional notions of research authenticity and authorship. As AI writing tools become more prevalent in academia, researchers, institutions, and publishers must consider the implications for originality, authorship, and the peer review process.

SOCIAL MEDIA

👥 Instagam's AI alter egos

Our Report: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company is launching an array of user-created AI chatbots on Instagram in the United States, allowing creators to develop custom AI characters for their followers to interact with.

🔑 Key Points:

  • Meta is rolling out an early test of its AI studio to surface AI characters created by creators on Instagram, primarily in messaging for now.

  • The company plans to initially test the feature with around 50 creators and a small percentage of users, aiming for a full launch by August.

  • Zuckerberg envisions enabling every creator and eventually every small business on the platform to create an AI to interact with their community and customers.

🤔 Why you should care: AI-powered characters on Instagram will redefine how you interact with creators and brands online. Users should be prepared for a shift in their social media experience, potentially blurring the lines between human and AI-driven engagement across popular platforms.
