Amazon Securing its Place in the AI Race

Amazon is partnering with Adept, a company that specializes in AI technologies, to create new AI models that can help improve various tasks and services. This collaboration aims to develop more advanced AI systems that can be used to make our daily lives easier.

Amazon provides the cloud infrastructure through Amazon Web Services (AWS) to support Adept’s AI models.

This collaboration allows companies to use Adept's AI to automate complex tasks across different software applications, making work processes faster and more efficient​.

Additionally, Amazon is investing $25 million over the next 10 years to support AI research and education in collaboration with universities like the University of Washington and the University of Tsukuba, as well as with the tech company NVIDIA.

An AI Critic is Born

OpenAI has introduced CriticGPT, a new model specifically designed to identify and correct errors in the outputs generated by GPT-4.

This initiative aims to improve the overall reliability and accuracy of their AI systems. CriticGPT works by scrutinizing the outputs produced by GPT-4, particularly focusing on identifying mistakes in code and other technical outputs.

This process aids human trainers in assessing and correcting these errors, which in turn enhances the training process and results in more robust AI models.​

The concept behind CriticGPT involves using AI to improve AI, creating a loop where one model critiques the outputs of another.

Amazon Probes Perplexity AI for Unauthorized Web Scraping

Amazon is investigating Perplexity AI after allegations that the AI company is scraping website content without consent.

The issue came to light when Wired discovered that a machine on an Amazon server, apparently operated by Perplexity, was bypassing the website's robots.txt instructions, which are used to block web crawlers.

Wired's tests revealed that Perplexity's tool closely paraphrased its articles with minimal attribution, and in some cases, provided inaccurate summaries of the content.

Perplexity's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, denied that the company is deliberately ignoring the Robots Exclusion Protocol but admitted that they use third-party web crawlers, which might not comply with the protocol. He emphasized that the protocol is not a legal framework and suggested that a new relationship between publishers and AI companies might be needed.
