Fueling the generative AI craze is a belief that the tech industry is on a path to achieving superhuman, god-like intelligence. OpenAI’s stated mission is to create this artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Demis Hassabis, the leader of Google’s AI efforts, has the same goal. Now, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is entering the race. While he doesn’t have a timeline for when AGI will be reached, or even an exact definition for it, he wants to build it. At the same time, he’s shaking things up by moving Meta’s AI research group, FAIR, to the same part of the company as the team building generative AI products across Meta’s apps. The goal is for Meta’s AI breakthroughs to more directly reach its billions of users. “We’ve come to this view that, in order to build the products that we want to build, we need to build for general intelligence,” Zuckerberg tells in an exclusive interview. “I think that’s important to convey because a lot of the best researchers want to work on the more ambitious problems.” Here, Zuckerberg is saying the quiet part aloud. The battle for AI talent has never been more fierce, with every company in the space vying for an extremely small pool of researchers and engineers. Those with the needed expertise can command eye-popping compensation packages to the tune of over $1 million a year. CEOs like Zuckerberg are routinely pulled in to try to win over a key recruit or keep a researcher from defecting to a competitor. No one working on AI, including Zuckerberg, seems to have a clear definition for AGI or an idea of when it will arrive. “I don’t have a one-sentence, pithy definition,” he tells. “You can quibble about if general intelligence is akin to human level intelligence, or is it like human-plus, or is it some far-future super intelligence. But to me, the important part is actually the breadth of it, which is that intelligence has all these different capabilities where you have to be able to reason and have intuition.” #ai #future #artificialgeneralintelligence #markzuckerberg #meta

This is big! Meta is introducing your new AI assistant in partnership with Bing to provide real-time web results when you ask it a question. It will also help you plan trips with friends in group chats and answer questions that you would normally search online on Bing (or Google. Anyone else bored or even creeped out by other AI chatboxes? Fear not, Meta wants to ensure the AI assistant isn’t boring or bland, so they have “created a tone that is conversational and friendly in the way the assistant responds.” 😇 It’s looking like Meta has huge plans involving AI in the not-so-distant future, and this is the first big thing. What are your thoughts on the AI assistant? Worth the hype? #ai #bing #meta

Meta AI The latest version of Meta AI, which is powered by Llama 3, was announced on April 18, 2024 ¹. Here are some key points about Meta AI ¹ ² ³ ⁴: What it is: Meta AI is an artificial intelligence laboratory owned by Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly known as Facebook, Inc.). Purpose: The laboratory develops various forms of artificial intelligence, including augmented and artificial reality technologies. History: The laboratory started as Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) with locations in Menlo Park, California, London, United Kingdom, and a new laboratory in Manhattan. FAIR was officially announced in September 2013. Features: The chatbot can be used to generate text, answer questions, create images and more. Integration: Meta AI is being integrated as a feature across Meta platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp. Functionality: It is powered by Llama 3, a text-based generator, and can be used to generate responses using real-time information from Google and Bing.

This article is a great example of the importance of looking past the headlines in tech reporting. Meta's latest venture into enhancing its AI technology is being hailed as a grand gesture of altruism and open knowledge. However, Meta's aggressive and continued push into large language models should be viewed through the lens of strategic business positioning and a pivot from its "metaverse" setbacks. - Business Strategy, Not Altruism: It's crucial to recognize that Meta's decision to advance its AI capabilities, including the development of Llama 3, is fundamentally a business decision rather than an act of altruism. The company aims to secure a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI industry through this strategy. By releasing a model at similar to GPT-4 under an open-source Apache 2.0 license, Meta can disrupt the business model of OpenAI while it's still in its early stages. In otherwords, a calculated, tactical approach to stay ahead of the game. -Legacy and Strategic Pivot: Zuckerberg's legacy massive bet on the metaverse was an incredibly expensive flop. There's a heightened need for Zuckerberg to pivot and be right about the next big technological breakthrough. In this context, investing heavily in advanced AI is a move to realign Meta's focus and resources and get it right this time around. -Misuse of the Term 'AGI': The term "AGI," or Artificial General Intelligence, refers to a level of AI development where the machine's cognitive abilities are indistinguishable from human intelligence. This includes understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across various tasks, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability like the human mind. Zuckerberg conflates advanced AI models like Llama 3 and their capabilities with AGI. While Llama 3 and near future model iterations may represent a significant leap in generative AI capabilities, it's important to clarify that it doesn't equate to AGI. Current AI models, including those developed by Meta and OpenAI, are still considered narrow AI, specialized in particular tasks or types of data processing. They lack the broad, adaptable, and integrated cognitive abilities that characterize AGI. Finally, the article raises concerns about the lack of journalistic rigor in reporting complex concepts, such as misusing "AGI" in discussions about Meta's AI advancements. This reflects a broader issue of accountability in tech journalism. Journalists must distinguish between hype and reality in AI development and provide a more informed and responsible narrative to the public #AI #journalism #openai #strategy

Meta Releases FACET: A Benchmark for Fair AI-Kyle Wiggers Meta has released a new AI benchmark, FACET, designed to evaluate the “fairness” of AI models that classify and detect things in photos and videos, including people. Made up of 32,000 images containing 50,000 people labeled by human annotators, FACET accounts for classes related to occupations and activities in addition to demographic and physical attributes. This allows for deep evaluations of biases against those classes. Meta’s goal is to enable researchers and practitioners to perform similar benchmarking to better understand the disparities present in their own models and monitor the impact of mitigations put in place to address fairness concerns. #Meta #FACET #AIBenchmark #Fairness #AIModels #BiasEvaluation #ImageClassification #DemographicAttributes #Occupations #Activities #FairAI #Mitigations

META AI Meta AI and type in questions and requests like “What’s the weather this week in New York?” or “Write a poem about two dogs living in San Francisco.” The assistant will come up with responses immediately, such as “The corgi was short, with a butt so wide, the lab was tall, with a tongue that would glide.” You can also instruct Meta AI to produce pictures — like an illustration of a family watching fireworks. This is Meta’s response to OpenAI’s Chat GPT,the chatbot that upended the tech industry in 2022, and similar bots including Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Bing AI. The Meta bot’s image generator also competes with A.I. imaging tools like Adobe’s Firefly, Midjourney and DALL-E. Unlike other chatbots and image generators, Meta’s A.I. assistant is a free tool baked into apps that billions of people use every day, making it the most aggressive push yet from a big tech company to bring this flavor of artificial intelligence — known as generative A.I. — to the mainstream. “We believe Meta AI is now the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use,” Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, wrote on Instagram on Thursday. The new bot invites you to “ask Meta AI anything” — but my advice, after testing it for six days, is to approach it with caution. It makes lots of mistakes when you treat it as a search engine. For now, you can have some fun: Its image generator can be a clever way to express yourself when chatting with friends. #SNSInstitutions #SNSDesignThinkers #DesignThinking
