On Tuesday, Google announced Lumiere, an AI video generator that it calls “a space-time diffusion model for realistic video generation” in the accompanying preprint paper.

Sure, it can do more, but it is perhaps the most advanced text-to-animal AI video generator yet demonstrated. – Read More

AI poisoning could turn open models into destructive “sleeper agents,” says Anthropic
Imagine downloading an open weights AI language model, and all seems good at first, but it later turns malicious. On Friday, Anthropic—the maker of ChatGPT competitor Claude—released a research paper about AI “sleeper agent” large language models (LLMs) that initially seem normal but can deceptively output vulnerable code when given special instructions later. “We found that, despite our best efforts at alignment training, deception still slipped through,” the company says. – Read More
National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot
The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) is a vision for a shared national research infrastructure for responsible discovery and innovation in AI.
The NAIRR pilot brings together computational, data, software, model, training and user support resources to demonstrate and investigate all major elements of the NAIRR vision first laid out by the NAIRR Task Force.
Led by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in partnership with 10 other federal agencies and 25 non-governmental partners, the pilot makes available government-funded, industry and other contributed resources in support of the nation’s research and education community. – Read More
