How AI Generators Can Dupe SaaS Authentication Protocols: Effective Ways To A February 2023 survey of 1,000 executives revealed that 49% of respondents use ChatGPT now and 30% plan to tap into the ubiquitous generative AI tool soon. This leaves little bandwidth to assess the AI tool threat landscape, unsanctioned AI tools currently in use,…

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis Says Its Next Algorithm Will Eclipse Chess In 2016, an artificial intelligence program named AlphaGo defeated the world champion at the board game Go. Now, DeepMind, a division of Google, is using techniques from AlphaGo to make an AI system called Gemini that will be more capable than the one…

Microsoft Warns of Widespread Credential Stealing Attacks by Russian Hackers The threat actor likely used these IP addresses for very short periods, which could make scoping and remediation challenging, the Windows makers said. More importantly, the activity is said to dovetail with another set of attacks weaponizing a then-zero-day flaw in Microsoft Outlook (CVE-2023-23397) that…

Senate Wants to Reign In AI Still, the issue of AI seems to be the least partisan issue in Washington, even as today’s bipartisan optimism is coupled with bicameral fear , according to Hoffman. He notes that this week’s briefing was useful because it offered a very general overview. Hoffman closes the chapter by noting…

Meet Video-ControlNet: A Revolutionary New Model for Text-to-Video Diff This paper describes a new generation technique for creating videos with text-to-text models. Earlier, scientists had tried to use diffusion models to create video with text prompts. However, they were not very good at controlling the generated content. This paper presents a new approach that uses…

Amazon’s new robots are paving the way for an automation revolution. Proteus is just one of a new batch of robots rolling into Amazon’s fulfillment centers. According to the company, the robots date back to the first Kiva machines and are part of a wider shift in the balance between automation and people in the…

Hackers from China are using never-before-seen tactics in order to launch attacks The newly discovered Chinese nation-state actor known as Volt Typhoon has been active in the wild since at least mid-2020, with the hacking crew linked to never-before-seen tradecraft to retain remote access to targets of interest. A closer examination of the Tomcat access…

Meet CoDi: A novel cross-modal diffusion model for any-to- This paper describes a new computational technique called composable diffusion, which allows scientists to simultaneously processing and generating arbitrary combinations of modalities. The goal of the study is to develop a model that can handle any mixture of input data and generate various output values. In…

A group of AI activists is protesting against human extinction. But he really started to worry about the threat that AI could pose to humanity when OpenAI released its latest language model, GPT-4 in March. And he has seen pioneers like Geoffrey Hinton, the so-called godfather of AI, warn of the dangers associated with the…

The Artist Pal in Your Pocket: SnapFusion is an AI Approach That Brings SnapFusion optimizes the UNET architecture to improve inference speed. The aim of the optimizations is to reduce the number of denoising steps and to increase the speed of the conditional diffusion model. Diffusion models are the next big thing, but we need…
