We evaluated GPT-4 in a public online Turing test. The best-performing GPT-4 prompt passed in 49.7% of games, outperforming ELIZA (22%) and GPT-3.5 (20%), but falling short of the baseline set by...

We explore the abstract reasoning abilities of text-only and multimodal versions of GPT-4, using the ConceptARC benchmark [10], which is designed to evaluate robust understanding and reasoning...

Goal: How does the Brain/Mind (perhaps even an artificial one) work at an algorithmic level? While deep learning has produced tremendous technological strides in recent decades, there is an unsettl...

The AI-powered chatbot called itself Sydney, claimed to have its ‘own personality’ — and objected to being interviewed for this article.

By imbuing enormous vectors with semantic meaning, we can get machines to reason more abstractly — and efficiently — than before.

Some AI experts think that the name itself is fueling the kind of hype and confusion that have led to “AI winters” in the past.

Introducing a new AI model with next-gen ethical alignment. Chat now.

Does the effectiveness of neural language models derive entirely from accurate modeling of surface word co-occurrence statistics, or do these models represent and reason about the world they...

Conceptual abstraction and analogy-making are key abilities underlying humans' abilities to learn, reason, and robustly adapt their knowledge to new domains. Despite of a long history of research...

Amazon has fixed its voice assistant so that it will not suggest the dangerous “challenge” again.

Machine learning algorithms don’t yet understand things the way humans do — with sometimes disastrous consequences.

How worried are top AI experts about the threat posed by large language models like GPT-4?

AI is all around us---recognizing our faces in photos, transcribing our speech, constructing our news feeds, navigating our driving routes, answering our search queries, and much more. But rapidly...

Thomas Krendl Gilbert maintains that much of today’s AI research cannot reasonably be called science at all. Instead, it can be viewed...
