Anthropic wants you to know Claude leads a quarter of its research, but "lead" doesn't mean what you think
For the first time, Anthropic is releasing metrics on how it builds its own AI. Claude already "leads" 26 percent of the work on future models, up from under one percent in February. But the underlying scale is fuzzy, the scoring comes from Claude itself, and "lead" means less than it sounds.

What to expect at Dreamforce: Join theCUBE on Sept. 25
Enterprises are moving beyond standalone AI tools as they look for ways to weave agents into the work employees and customers already do.

Allt fler tror att AI kommer ta jobb istället för att skapa nya
En ny undersökning från Pew Research Center visar att en majoritet av människor världen över nu räknar med att artificiell intelligens kommer leda till färre snarare än fler jobb. Undersökningen baseras på svar från 37 länder. I 34 av dessa är det vanligare att tro att AI kommer innebära färre arbetstillfällen under de kommande 20 åren. Oron är större i rikare länder. Även i Sverige syns tecken på en växande skepsis inför tekniken. Andelen svenskar som är mer oroade än entusiastiska över den ökade användningen av AI har stigit med nio procentenheter på ett år. Det är den största ökningen bland länderna som jämförts över tid. Oron har också ökat bland både yngre och äldre svenskar. Globalt be

Microsoft-chef kallade AI-träning “den största stölden i historien”
Nya offentliggjorda uppgifter från den pågående upphovsrättsstriden mellan The New York Times, Open AI och Microsoft visar hur företagen internt diskuterat användningen av upphovsrättsskyddat material för att träna AI. Enligt handlingarna, som uppmärksammats av Techcrunch , beskrev Microsoft-chefen Brent Hecht redan i januari 2023 den omfattande insamlingen av material som “en häpnadsväckande stöld av aldrig tidigare skådad omfattning” och “den största stölden av arbete i mänsklighetens historia”. Mycket av den nya informationen återges dock av The New York Times sida i målet. De bakomliggande dokumenten är fortfarande hemligstämplade. Citatens fullständiga sammanhang är därför inte offentli

De tror faktiskt på AI-apokalypsen
Plötsligt pratade alla om AI-apokalypsen. Det började i förra veckan med att en forskare på Anthropic lämnade sitt jobb. ”De rusar rakt mot en självförbättrande superintelligens och spelar med våra liv”, skrev forskaren Jacob Coxon på X . ”De som utvecklar AI är övertygade om att den kan döda oss alla redan i slutet av detta decennium”. Han fick strax bekräftelse – av en chef på Anthropic. ”Jacob har rätt här – vi tror verkligen uppriktigt att AI skulle kunna utrota hela mänskligheten! Personligen tror jag att sannolikheten är >10 % inom det kommande decenniet. Jag tror att Anthropic gör sitt bästa, men vi har ännu ingen plan för att lösa problemet med alignment för superintelligens och är i

Forskare hackade Open AI med hjälp av Claude
En grupp säkerhetsforskare från Hacktron AI har lyckats ta sig förbi Open AI:s säkerhetssystem och på så sätt fått tillgång till företagets interna filer. Forskarna tog sig in genom att komma över en Open AI-anställds Chat GPT-konto. Det anmärkningsvärda är att forskarna tog hjälp av Claude, en AI-modell från Open AI:s konkurrent Anthropic. Hela processen sägs ha tagit mindre än 72 timmar skriver forskarna i ett blogginlägg med rubriken Hacking Open AI . Efter att ha delat med sig av sina upptäckter till Open AI kunde forskarna kvittera ut 6 500 dollar från företagets buggjägarprogram, rapporterar Financial Times .
