Despite extensive efforts by US authorities to keep Nvidia’s most advanced generative AI chips out of China, there is “a barely concealed network of buyers, sellers and couriers bypassing the Biden administration’s restrictions,” according to an investigative report published Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal. “More than 70 distributors are openly advertising online what they purport to be Nvidia’s restricted chips and the Journal got in direct contact with 25 of them. Many of the verified sellers said they have supplies amounting to dozens of the high-end Nvidia chips each month,” the story ...

What makes generative AI implementations so challenging? As a disruptive technology, it’s being felt in terms of both its magnitude and frequency of change. So many vendors, applications, and use cases, and so little time, and it permeates everything from business strategy and processes, to products and services. One of the unusual challenges with gen AI as a technology, however, is it’s currently in mainstream adoption yet still at the peak of the hype cycle. This is why many enterprises are seeing a lot of energy and excitement around use cases, yet are still struggling to realize ROI. So, t...

By Simon Bisson One of the key components of Microsoft’s Copilot Runtime edge AI development platform for Windows is a new vector search technology, DiskANN (Disk Accelerated Nearest Neighbors). Building on a long-running Microsoft Research project, DiskANN is a way of building and managing vector indexes inside your applications. It uses a mix of in-memory and disk storage to map an in-memory quantized vector graph to a high-precision graph help on disk. What is DiskANN?Although it’s not an exact match, you can think of DiskANN as the vector index equivalent of tools like SQLite. Added to you...

European far-right parties have used artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images to support political messaging, two new reports have found, but it is difficult to assess how those images may have impacted the recent French and European elections. Non-profit organisation AI Forensics went through the social media pages of 31 French political parties to determine whether they could spot generative AI (genAI) content from May 1 to June 28, during the EU elections and the first round of France’s legislative campaign. They then put those images through AI-related search engines to verify that an...

China is filing the most patents for generative artificial intelligence (AI) inventions in the world, significantly more than the United States, which ranked in second place, according to a report by the UN agency for intellectual property. Generative AI, includes inventions such as chatbots and the creation of new content in the form of text, images, video or sound. There have been more than 50,000 patent applications in the last decade for this technology, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). More than 25 per cent of the patent filings appeared just last year and...

Austin-based software company Planview began using gen AI to boost productivity around 18 months ago. During that same period, they started integrating gen AI into their products, building a copilot that users interact with to do strategic portfolio management and value stream management. The copilot creates plan scenarios to help managers hit product release goals, and suggests ways to move deliverables around on roadmaps, share work between teams, and reallocate investment. As early adopters, Planview realized early on that if they really wanted to lean into AI, they’d need to set up policie...

By Paul Krill Open-source vector database provider Qdrant has launched BM42, a vector-based hybrid search algorithm intended to provide more accurate and efficient retrieval for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications. BM42 combines the best of traditional text-based search and vector-based search to lower the costs for RAG and AI applications, Qdrant said. Qdrant’s BM42 was announced July 2. Traditional keyword search engines, using algorithms such as BM25, have been around for more than 50 years and are not optimized for the precise retrieval needed in modern applications, accordin...

Nearly all submissions generated by artificial intelligence (AI) went undetected in a recent test of UK universities' exam systems. The AI-generated papers also received on average higher grades compared to those written by real students, researchers at the University of Reading found. They published their findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. Artificial intelligence already has proven that it can pass exams which has led some schools and universities to ban students from using available AI tools such as ChatGPT. However, applying this rule proved to be challenging, according to the ne...

By Ram Movva and Aviral Verma While their business and tech colleagues are busy experimenting and developing new applications, cybersecurity leaders are looking for ways to anticipate and counter new, AI-driven threats. It’s always been clear that AI impacts cybersecurity, but it’s a two-way street. Where AI is increasingly being used to predict and mitigate attacks, these applications are themselves vulnerable. The same automation, scale, and speed everyone’s excited about are also available to cybercriminals and threat actors. Although far from mainstream yet, malicious use of AI has been gr...

Generative AI (GenAI) is having a renaissance, but few industries are experiencing this like healthcare. As early adopters, everything from hospital operations and administrative duties, to clinical trials and drug discovery are being impacted by the technology. Despite the rosy outlook, it doesn’t paint the full picture of GenAI in healthcare. The 2024 Generative AI in Healthcare Survey, however, does a better job at that. Highlighting both the successes and challenges of GenAI in healthcare, the survey uncovers some interesting trends. As a leader in the field, the results could be indicativ...
