The AI Impact Tour will visit Boston on March 27, focusing on data integrity in generative AI. Other topics covered by the tour include mitigating bias in AI, maintaining data privacy, and managing the quality of synthetic data. Attendees can expect insights from AI experts and industry leaders.

The New ChatGPT 4

Before its launch, OpenAI's GPT-4.0 achieved top scores on the ChatGPT leaderboard under a secret pseudonym. The AI model broke records for conversational ability, demonstrating significant improvements in generating human-like text. OpenAI's disguise strategy allowed for unbiased scoring, and the results confirm the model's advanced conversation capabilities.

In a new white paper, researchers from Epoch, MIT FutureTech, and Northeastern University have revealed they are using perplexity as a measure of a language model's capability. Lower perplexity supposedly indicates better understanding and prediction of sentences. However, some experts argue that perplexity may not reflect real-world performance, and may even encourage over-optimization. Instead, they suggest using human evaluations to assess AI language understanding.

Prompts for Better Cyber Security

Act as a cyber security specialist to secure your SaaS platform.

I want you to act as a cyber security specialist. I will provide some specific information about how data is stored and shared, and it will be your job to come up with strategies for protecting this data from malicious attacks. This could include suggesting encryption methods, other layers of security or implementing policies that mark certain activities as suspicious. My first request is "I need help developing an effective cybersecurity strategy for my [describe application]."
