Bard Is Self-Checking Now?

Welcome to another edition of the best damn newsletter in AI. Here we’ll break down AI topics that matter, open your mind to use cases, and keep you ahead of the curve.

Our #1 goal is to be useful. So please shoot us an email 📩 if you have questions or feedback, and especially if you implement something we share!

Here's what we're covering today:

• Bard’s big updates

• Amazon, Uber Eats, Toyota and more - all have generative AI projects in the works

• OpenAI announces even more features

Let’s get to it! 👇

TODAY'S PERSPECTIVE

Bard now ‘checks itself’

Google's Bard just got a big upgrade. Everyone's talking about how it can now access the ecosystem of Google tools like Gmail and Drive.

But that's not what has us most excited. It's Bard’s new self-checking feature that's really got our gears grinding.

You read that right.

Bard can now fact-check its own outputs, and begin to assess the accuracy of the information it generates.

Here's how it works:

1. You can use Bard to generate anything, just like ChatGPT

2. If you'd like to fact check, you can click the 'G' for Google

3. Bard will then go search Google, and cross reference those results with what was generated, highlighting what was confirmed via Google and what might have been a hallucination.

AI systems like Bard's self-checking will certainly be popping up more. In fact, we use these ourselves and talk about them in The AI Exchange Playbook as "model evals".

Expect to see more like this coming! Not quite the “hallucination solution” yet, but getting closer.

Generative AI is getting integrated more and more into our everyday life...

• Uber Eats is partnering with Google to launch an AI chatbot that will help users discover deals and reorder their favorite meals. Finally!

• Amazon is introducing generative AI to enhance Alexa experiences on its Echo devices. And a lot more that was announced this week

• Toyota has an interesting project developing AI-trained breakfast bots through a "kindergarten for robots," teaching them complex skills without extensive coding or error correction.

• Creators on TikTok can now label their AI-generated content to provide transparency and acknowledge the role of AI in content creation.

OpenAI announces even more...

• OpenAI announced DALL-E 3, and it’s going to integrate with ChatGPT for easier prompt formulation and improved safety controls.

• OpenAI is launching a Red Teaming Network to enhance the resilience of its AI systems through expert risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

• OpenAI added a fine tuning interface to see and track all of your fine tuning jobs

And if you're really nerdy...

• The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is funding a new AI GPU cluster to provide researchers with access to generative AI for medical research. This cluster aims to accelerate the pace of research and promote collaboration between scientists.

That's all!

We'll see you again on Tuesday. Thoughts, feedback and questions are much appreciated - respond here or shoot us a note at [email protected].
