Anthropic claims new AI security method blocks 95% of jailbreaks, invites red teamers to try

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Two years after ChatGPT hit the scene, there are numerous large language models (LLMs), and nearly all remain ripe for jailbreaks — specific prompts and other workarounds that trick them into producing harmful content.  Model developers have yet to come up with an effective defense — and, truthfully, they may never be able to deflect such

OpenAI: Extending model ‘thinking time’ helps combat emerging cyber vulnerabilities

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Typically, developers focus on reducing inference time — the period between when AI receives a prompt and provides an answer — to get at faster insights.  But when it comes to adversarial robustness, OpenAI researchers say: Not so fast. They propose that increasing the amount of time a model has to “think” — inference time compute

Google DeepMind researchers introduce new benchmark to improve LLM factuality, reduce hallucinations

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Hallucinations, or factually inaccurate responses, continue to plague large language models (LLMs). Models falter particularly when they are given more complex tasks and when users are looking for specific and highly detailed responses.  It’s a challenge data scientists have struggled to overcome, and now, researchers from Google DeepMind say they have come a step closer to

Learn how GE Healthcare used AWS to build a new AI model that interprets MRIs

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More MRI images are understandably complex and data-heavy.  Because of this, developers training large language models (LLMs) for MRI analysis have had to slice captured images into 2D. But this results in just an approximation of the original image, thus limiting the model’s ability to analyze intricate anatomical structures. This creates challenges in complex cases involving brain

Gartner predicts AI agents will transform work, but disillusionment is growing

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Very quickly, the topic of AI agents has moved from ambiguous concepts to reality. Enterprises will soon be able to deploy fleets of AI workers to automate and supplement — and yes, in some cases supplant — human talent.  “Autonomous agents are one of the hottest topics and perhaps one of the most hyped topics in
