Meta’s AI Smart Glasses and Data Privacy Concerns: Workers Say “We See Everything”

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

One-Round Active Learning through Data Utility Learning and Proxy...

While active learning (AL) techniques have demonstrated the potential to produce high-performance models with fewer labeled data, their application remains limited due to the necessity for multiple...

The secret to making #AIChatbots sound #smart and #spew less #toxic nonsense is to use a technique called reinforcement learning from #HumanFeedback, which uses input from people to improve the model’s answers. It relies on a small army of #human #data #annotators who evaluate whether a string of text makes sense and sounds fluent and natural. They decide whether a response should be kept in the AI model’s database or removed. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/06/13/1074560/we-are-all-ais-free-data-workers
We are all AI’s free data workers

Plus: DeepMind’s game-playing AI just found another way to make code faster.
