Introduction Edge AI, a transformative technology that combines the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) with edge computing, is revolutionizing various industries by enabling real-time data processing and decision-making at the data source. This paradigm shift addresses several limitations associated with traditional cloud-based AI, such as latency, bandwidth constraints, and security concerns. By processing data locally, Edge AI enhances responsiveness, boosts security and privacy, promotes scalability, enables distributed computing, and improves cost efficiency. The recent advancements in AI algorithms and hardware have significantly contributed to the rise of Edge AI. According to Wevolver’s 2023 Edge AI Technology Report, the symbiosis between cutting-edge…

[ad_1] California’s bill to prevent AI disasters, SB 1047, has faced significant opposition from many parties in Silicon Valley.

The app, which is currently available for Android, Linux, MacOS and Windows, applies Geekbench’s principles to machine learning, deep learning and other AI workloads, in a bid to standardize performance ratings across platforms. It’s a successor to Geekbench ML (machine learning), which was announced in 2021 and is currently on version 0.6. “[I]n recent years, companies have coalesced around using the term ‘AI’ in these kinds of workloads (and in their related marketing),” Primate Labs says of the name change. “To ensure that everyone, from engineers to performance enthusiasts,…

[ad_1] Bo Li, an associate professor at the University of Chicago who specializes in stress testing and provoking AI models to uncover misbehavior, has become a go-to source for some consulting firms. These consultancies are often now less concerned with how smart AI models are than with how problematic—legally, ethically, and in terms of regulatory compliance—they can be.Li and colleagues from several other universities, as well as Virtue AI, cofounded by Li, and Lapis Labs, recently developed a taxonomy of AI risks along with a benchmark that reveals how rule-breaking different large language models are. “We need some principles for…

[ad_1] Code reviews — peer reviews of code that help devs improve code quality — are time-consuming. According to one source, 50% of companies spend two to five hours a week on them. Without enough people, code reviews can be overwhelming and take devs away from other important work. Harjot Gill thinks that code reviews can be largely automated using artificial intelligence. He’s the co-founder and CEO of CodeRabbit, which analyzes code using AI models to provide feedback. Prior to starting CodeRabbit, Gill was the senior director of technology at datacenter software company Nutanix. He joined the company when Nutanix acquired…
