King’s Business School: How AI is transforming problem-solving

AI News

A new study by researchers at King’s Business School and Wazoku has revealed that AI is transforming global problem-solving. The report found that nearly half (46%) of Wazoku’s 700,000-strong network of problem solvers had utilised generative AI (GenAI) to work on innovative ideas over the past year. This network – known as the Wazoku Crowd – comprises a diverse group of professionals including scientists, pharmacists, engineers, PhD students, CEOs, start-ups, and business leaders.

Extracting Training Data From Fine-Tuned Stable Diffusion Models

Unite.AI

New research from the US presents a method to extract significant portions of training data from fine-tuned models. This could potentially provide legal evidence in cases where an artist's style has been copied, or where copyrighted images have been used to train generative models of public figures, IP-protected characters, or other content. From the new paper: original training images are seen in the row above, and the extracted images are depicted in the row below.
