The winner of the 2024 Innovator of the Year by MIT Technology Review is Shawn Shan’s work on copyright protection against generative AI. Glad to see security and privacy technologies are used to protect artists’ rights. Many unfiltered models are traded on the dark web. How should we regulate these models to prevent misuse? A…

OpenAI released a new model called “o1” or “Strawberry” last week, which significantly improves reasoning capabilities. The AI community is still evaluating the model, but initial results suggest that its reasoning abilities might elevate the AI game to a new level. If you are developing an Agent-based application and want to see how it performs…

In this issue of AI Security newsletter, I particularly like the the work by OctoAI where they conducted experiments of using small model for specific tasks. Their work shows that, with enhanced prompt and fine-tuning, small models can outperform large models in certain tasks, such as PII redaction. Devansh and Eric Flaningam’s analysis of AI…

Technology & Tools Revolutionizing Multimodal Learning with 4M Framework The 4M framework, spotlighted at NeurIPS 2023 and detailed in an arXiv 2024 paper, represents a significant leap in multimodal and multitask model training. By employing a unified Transformer encoder-decoder across a broad spectrum of modalities—from text and images to geometric shapes—4M achieves remarkable versatility. Its…
