AI may seem like something of a dirty word right now, but 62 percent of studios use AI at some point during game development. That’s according to a new report from the toy maker Unitywhich reveals that more and more development studios are adopting AI tools to save time and efficiency. In 2022 the average start time for games was 218 days. it is now 304 days, the report says. 71 percent of studios that responded to the survey said that AI has improved their delivery and operations to reduce launch time.

Report published by the United Kingdom National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) warns that artificial intelligence will significantly increase cyber threats in the next two years. The center is particularly warning of an increase in ransomware attacks. which involves hackers deploying malware to encrypt a victim’s files or the entire system and demanding a ransom payment for the decryption key. The NCSC assessment predicts that AI will enhance the capabilities of threat actors primarily to conduct more convincing phishing attacks that trick people into providing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. “Genetic AI can already create persuasive interactions, such as…
Design ManagerGemma is designed with our Principles of AI in the first line. As part of making Gemma’s pre-trained models safe and reliable, we used automated techniques to filter out some personal information and other sensitive data from training sets. In addition, we used extensive refinement and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to align our instruction-tuned models with responsible behaviors. To understand and reduce the risk profile for Gemma models, we conducted robust assessments, including manual red-teaming, automated adversary testing, and assessments of the model’s capabilities for risky activities. These assessments are described in our Model card.We are also…
startup based in Paris Nabla just was announced that it has raised a $24 million Series B funding round led by Cathay Innovation, with participation from ZEBOX Ventures — CMA CGM’s corporate VC fund. This funding round comes just a few months after Nabla signed a large-scale partnership with Permanente Medical Group, a division of US healthcare giant Kaiser Permanente. According to a source, Nabla reached a valuation of $180 million after today’s funding round. The company could also end up raising more money from US investors as part of this round. Nabla is working on an AI copilot for…
Join leaders in San Francisco on January 10 for an exclusive evening of networking, information and conversation. Request an invitation here. Nablaa French startup building an AI copilot to speed up the way doctors work with patients announced today that it has raised $24 million in a Series B funding round. The investment comes from Cathay Innovation and Zebox and will be used to grow Nabla’s offering and accelerate its rollout to the US market. The funding brings the company’s total capital raised to $44.6 million. There have been many copilots, although their adoption in healthcare has been slow due…
Researchers from MIT and NVIDIA have developed two techniques that speed up the processing of sparse tensors, a type of data structure used for high-performance computing tasks. Complementary techniques could lead to significant improvements in system performance and energy efficiency, such as the massive machine learning models that drive genetic artificial intelligence. Tensors are data structures used by machine learning models. Both new methods seek to efficiently exploit what is known as sparsity—zero values—in tensors. When processing these tensors, one can skip the zeros and save both computation and memory. For example, anything multiplied by zero is zero, so it…
Research Post it February 16, 2022 Authors Pulsar Team, Swiss Plasma Center* (* External authors) Successful control of nuclear fusion plasma in a tokamak with deep reinforcement learningTo solve the global energy crisis, researchers have long sought a source of clean, unlimited energy. Nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the stars of the universe, is one candidate. By crushing and fusing hydrogen, a common element in seawater, the powerful process releases vast amounts of energy. Here on earth, one way scientists have recreated these extreme conditions is by using a tokamak, a doughnut-shaped vacuum surrounded by magnetic coils, used to…

Basic language in vision is a fundamental problem for many real-world artificial intelligence systems, such as image retrieval or description generation for the visually impaired. Success in these tasks requires models to associate different aspects of language such as objects and verbs with pictures. For example, to discriminate between the two images in the middle column below, the models must discriminate between the verbs ‘catch’ and ‘kick’. Verb comprehension is particularly difficult as it requires not only object recognition, but also how the different objects in an image relate to each other. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce the SVO-Probes…
CES 2024 will be here before we know it, taking over Las Vegas with crowds, booths full of products, and plenty of companies touting how artificial intelligence is improving their offerings. As noted in our CES preview, while the conference has had its ups and downs of late, it’s increasingly becoming an opportunity for startups to gain attention while all eyes turn to bigger-budget announcements from the likes of Samsung, Sony, and Nvidia . TechCrunch will be on the ground at CES 2024 throughout the event next week, with a special focus on those startups that might be pioneering a…
