In the field of artificial intelligence, concerns are being raised about the evaluation of AI language models. Experts argue that these models are being tested as if they were human, which can lead to overestimation of their capabilities. Meanwhile, a University of California, San Diego study is exploring whether genetic differences between cells could be linked to brain disorders. The study suggests that cognitive issues could be caused by some cells having a different genetic makeup, rather than a single faulty gene or a series of genes.
Key takeaways:
- MIT Technology Review is launching a new list recognizing companies making progress in addressing climate change, called '15 Climate Tech Companies to Watch'.
- There is a growing call to stop using traditional tests to evaluate AI language models, as it fuels the illusion that these models are more capable than they actually are.
- Elon Musk is suing the Anti-Defamation League, claiming it is responsible for a 60% drop in advertising revenue.
- Scientists are exploring whether genetic differences between cells, rather than specific faulty genes, could be behind most brain disorders.
