6 d. ago AI models mirror human 'us vs. them' social biases, study shows

Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored for specific purposes. As these models are trained on large amounts of texts written by humans, they could exhibit some human-like biases, which are inclinations to prefer specific stimuli, ideas or groups that deviate from objectivity.

1 week ago AIs behaving badly: An AI trained to deliberately make bad code will become bad at unrelated tasks, too

Artificial intelligence models that are trained to behave badly on a narrow task may generalize this behavior across unrelated tasks, such as offering malicious advice, suggests a new study. The research probes the mechanisms that cause this misaligned behavior, but further work must be done to find out why it happens and how to prevent it.

1 week ago New RoboReward dataset and models automate robotic training and evaluation

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has opened new possibilities for the development of robots that can reliably tackle various everyday tasks. Training and evaluating these algorithms, however, typically requires extensive efforts, as humans still need to manually label training data and assess the performance of models in both simulations and real-world experiments.

last month AI models stumble on basic multiplication without special training methods, study finds

These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in elementary school, even state-of-the-art systems fail. Why?
