Netflix Taps AI To Push Visual Effects Beyond the Green Screen
Researchers at Netflix say they may have rendered the omnipresent green screen obsolete. Described as an innovative advancement in the application of AI in the film and television industry, the Magenta Green Screen (MGS) leverages the power of artificial intelligence to enhance visual effects, making them more realistic and precise in real time. — Read More
GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers
GPT detectors frequently misclassify non-native English writing as AI generated, raising concerns about fairness and robustness. Addressing the biases in these detectors is crucial to prevent the marginalization of non-native English speakers in evaluative and educational settings and to create a more equitable digital landscape.
… GPT detectors exhibit significant bias against non-native English authors, as demonstrated by their high misclassification of TOEFL essays written by non-native speakers. In our study, we evaluated the performance of seven widely used GPT detectors on 91 TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) essays from a Chinese forum and 88 US eighth-grade essays from the Hewlett Foundation’s ASAP dataset. While the detectors accurately classified the US student essays, they incorrectly labeled more than half of the TOEFL essays as “AI-generated” (average false-positive rate: 61.3%). — Read More
Emerging Architectures for LLM Applications
Large language models are a powerful new primitive for building software. But since they are so new—and behave so differently from normal computing resources—it’s not always obvious how to use them.
In this post, we’re sharing a reference architecture for the emerging LLM app stack. It shows the most common systems, tools, and design patterns we’ve seen used by AI startups and sophisticated tech companies. This stack is still very early and may change substantially as the underlying technology advances, but we hope it will be a useful reference for developers working with LLMs now. — Read More
