Biden to Issue First Regulations on Artificial Intelligence Systems

President Biden is set to issue an executive order that will mark the U.S. federal government's first regulations on artificial intelligence. The order will require advanced A.I. products to be tested for potential use in producing biological or nuclear weapons, and the test results must be reported to the government.

The regulations will also address the creation of deep fakes by recommending that A.I.-generated photos, videos, and audio be watermarked. In addition, companies running cloud services will need to disclose information about their foreign customers. The order aims to establish safety, security, and consumer protection standards in the A.I. industry.

AI’s proxy war heats up as Google reportedly backs Anthropic with $2B

Anthropic has secured a $2 billion investment from Google, adding to previous funding and increasing the company's ability to compete in the field of large language models. The deal involves an initial $500 million with up to $1.5 billion to follow, although specific conditions are not clear.

The investment is part of a larger trend where tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft invest heavily in AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI because they can't quickly develop similar technologies themselves. These investments often include additional support like computing resources, indicating that both sides see value in the partnership.

Decoding AI: Your Questions Answered

What is Tokenization?

Tokenization is a basic step in NLP that involves breaking down a large paragraph into sentences, or sentences into individual words. Imagine you have a puzzle made of words; tokenization helps you separate all the pieces so you can start understanding how they fit together. This makes it easier for the computer to understand the text and perform tasks like translation, summarization, or classification.
