An Apple study shows that large language models (LLMs) can improve performance by using a checklist-based reinforcement learning scheme, similar to a simple productivity trick of checking one's work.
A pilot program allows teachers to use AI to tackle their classroom problems. Researchers found that teachers learned to build and customize tools quickly, but successful integration depended on solving specific problems rather than just seeking efficiency.
The article discusses how AI is forcing institutions like schools, governments, and corporations to re-evaluate their purpose and adapt to a world where machines can increasingly perform cognitive tasks. It argues that institutions must become more adaptive, transparent, and focused on uniquely human values to remain relevant.
This GitHub repository contains a re-implementation of the IPL-V programming language and the Logic Theorist (LT) program. It includes the original code transcribed into a TSV format and converted to Lisp, along with documentation and debugging tools.
Jeff Shrager has reanimated LT in IPL-V with a new implementation.
The ELIZA chatbot, created in the 1960s by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT, has been painstakingly reconstructed from archived records and run for the first time in over half a century. This effort marks a significant step in preserving one of the earliest examples of artificial intelligence. Despite its rudimentary nature compared to modern AI, ELIZA's resurrection highlights its historical importance.
Henry Minsky, son of AI pioneer Marvin Minsky, co-founded Leela AI, an MIT-connected startup using novel visual intelligence to optimize manufacturing production lines through video analysis.
This blog post discusses strategies for staying up-to-date on the rapidly evolving field of AI, covering resources, tools, and techniques for tracking news, research, and developments.
Abner Li discusses Pixie, a new AI assistant exclusive to Google's Pixel devices. The article highlights the capabilities of Pixie, which uses data from Google products to evolve and provide a more personalized experience compared to Siri. It also compares Pixie to Google Assistant's previous iteration and Apple's Siri.
