Real-world challenges for AGI

DeepMind

When people picture a world with artificial general intelligence (AGI), robots are more likely to come to mind than enabling solutions to society’s most intractable problems. But I believe the latter is much closer to the truth. AI is already enabling huge leaps in tackling fundamental challenges: from solving protein folding to predicting accurate weather patterns, scientists are increasingly using AI to deduce the rules and principles that underpin highly complex real-world domains - ones they

4 Ways EdTech Platforms Enhance The Learning Experience With AI

Dlabs.ai

Artificial intelligence is an invaluable educational resource. The technology enables students to follow guided, hyper-personalized paths, delivering just the right difficulty level for them to learn at their best. After all, overly simple — or excessively demanding — materials only irritate, even overwhelm, students. In contrast, if the appropriate resources push students just far enough, they will become more focused and, consequently, more willing to learn.

Peak Performance: Continuous Testing & Evaluation of LLM-Based Applications

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial.

On the Expressivity of Markov Reward

DeepMind

Our main results prove that while reward can express many tasks, there exist instances of each task type that no Markov reward function can capture. We then provide a set of polynomial-time algorithms that construct a reward function which allows an agent to optimize tasks of each of these three types, and correctly determine when no such reward function exists.
