NEW SUPERBUG-KILLING ANTIBIOTIC DISCOVERED USING AI

AI was used to discover "abaucin," a new antibiotic effective against the superbug Acinetobacter baumannii. The AI, trained with thousands of known drugs, shortlisted potential antibiotics from over 6,000 untested compounds in 90 minutes. Although promising, abaucin requires further tests and clinical trials. It is expected to be available around 2030.

A NEW METHOD FOR CORRECTING ERRORS IN CONVERTING TEXT TO SQL

This paper focuses on improving how computers understand and convert everyday language into SQL, a language used for managing and manipulating databases. It introduces a new method that corrects errors by looking at whole sections of code instead of individual words, and uses a new representation for SQL queries that's closer to how pre-existing code language models work, leading to a significant improvement in accuracy.

A HYBRID MODEL COMBINING THE STRENGTHS OF TRANSFORMERS AND RNNS

This research introduces a new model called Receptance Weighted Key Value (RWKV), which brings together the efficient parallelized training of Transformers and the efficient operation of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). With its unique approach of utilizing a linear attention mechanism, RWKV can be used like a Transformer or an RNN during different stages, proving equally effective as Transformers, but with more efficient use of computing resources.

IMPROVING QUESTION ANSWERING SYSTEM THROUGH USER FEEDBACK

Researchers explore how a system that extracts answers to questions can be constantly improved by feedback from human users. Through experiments involving thousands of user interactions, we found that user feedback significantly improved the system's performance over time, including its ability to adapt to new topics or areas of knowledge.

MODELS

Researchers have developed the first dataset for testing AI language models using 800 question-answer pairs based on over 350 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) theorems. This dataset offers a new benchmark to measure an AI's ability to solve complex, university-level problems using these theorems.

LEARNING MINECRAFT WITH GPT4 WITHOUT TRAINING

GPT-4 is widely regarded as the most powerful language model to date. However, because it is closed behind an API, we can’t train it for novel tasks. Voyager uses code as the “policy representation” and uses the environment errors and performance as natural language feedback. The set of code functions then allows GPT4 to iteratively improve at mining diamond and other tasks.

OPENAI HAS NO PLANS TO LEAVE EUROPE

OpenAI has no plans to leave Europe, CEO Sam Altman said on Friday, reversing a threat made earlier this week to leave the region if it becomes too hard to comply with upcoming laws on artificial intelligence.

INTERVIEW WITH BEN GOERTZEL

Ben Goertzel, renowned AI researcher, shares his views on future AI developments and their societal implications. He talks about the possibility of conscious AIs, suggesting it may be unethical to withhold rights from them. However, he also highlights potential risks of superintelligent AIs.
