“The legislation ultimately included restrictions for foundation models but gave broad exemptions to “open-source models,” which are developed using code that’s freely available for developers to alter for their own products and tools. The move could benefit open-source AI companies in Europe that lobbied against the law, including France’s Mistral and Germany’s Aleph Alpha, as well as Meta, which released the open-source model LLaMA.”

“Les pratiques de surveillance de l’oncle Sam ont été copieusement épluchées durant la dernière décennie, provoquant divers scandales et réactions, notamment du côté des entreprises de la tech. Chez les GAFAM en particulier et dans de nombreuses autres entreprises du domaine, on a ainsi vu apparaître des rapports de transparence.
Toutes les informations n’ont pourtant pas le droit d’être publiées, loin de là. Tout ce qui touche aux notifications n’est ainsi pas autorisé. Dans une lettre au ministère américain de la Justice, le sénateur Ron Wyden, également président du comité sénatorial des finances, a demandé à ce que soit levée cette interdiction pour Apple et Google, chez qui ces notifications transitent. Pourquoi ? Parce que des gouvernements étrangers (non nommés) font régulièrement des demandes de surveillance dans ce domaine, selon un « tuyau » reçu en 2022. Les États-Unis useraient également de cette méthode, selon Reuters.
« Les données que ces deux entreprises reçoivent comprennent des métadonnées, indiquant quelle application a reçu une notification et quand, ainsi que le téléphone et le compte Apple ou Google associé auquel cette notification était destinée. Dans certains cas, elles peuvent également recevoir du contenu non chiffré, qui peut aller des directives de l’application au texte affiché par l’utilisateur dans une notification d’application », explique Wyden.”

“In this short video, hear from Google leaders and AI experts as they introduce you to Gemini — Google’s largest and most capable AI model. It’s built from the ground up to be multimodal — meaning that it’s trained to recognize, understand and combine different types of information, including text, images, audio, video and code. And it’s optimized in three different sizes: Ultra, Pro and Nano. Welcome to the Gemini era.”

“« Signal est une référence en matière de sécurité. L’insinuation de problème de sécurité de la Première ministre est dangereux et inquiétant », a ainsi écrit Baptiste Robert. « Cette pointe d’antiaméricanisme [la fondation Signal est basée aux États-Unis, NDLR] idéologique constante est nuisible au débat et ne devrait pas jouer sur les discussions techniques », a-t-il ajouté. Au-delà des qualités propres d’Olvid, soulignées par Baptiste Robert, mais aussi par l’Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information (Anssi), qui lui a délivré une certification de sécurité de premier niveau, la question est de savoir si tout cela ne va pas finir par se retourner contre elle. Surtout si elle est présentée comme une solution parfaitement sûre.”

“After Google quietly scrapped a set of in-person events to launch Gemini, its biggest artificial intelligence initiative in a decade, the company has planned a virtual preview of the new AI as soon as this week, said a person with knowledge of the situation. By giving journalists and software developers a first look at some of the technology’s capabilities, Google could relieve some pressure from investors to prove it can catch up to ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Google representatives for weeks have been giving private demonstrations of the technology to business partners but they have said that cloud customers wouldn’t get access to the primary version of Gemini until next year.”

“On Friday, genetic testing company 23andMe announced that hackers accessed the personal data of 0.1% of customers, or about 14,000 individuals. The company also said that by accessing those accounts, hackers were also able to access “a significant number of files containing profile information about other users’ ancestry.” But 23andMe would not say how many “other users” were impacted by the breach that the company initially disclosed in early October. As it turns out, there were a lot of “other users” who were victims of this data breach: 6.9 million affected individuals in tota”

We ran a series of experiments to measure the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of different models from the HuggingFace Hub, and to see how different tasks and models compare. We found that multi-purpose, generative models are orders of magnitude more energy-intensive than task-specific systems for a variety of tasks, even for models with a similar number of parameters
“To build a more sustainable future, we need new materials. GNoME has discovered 380,000 stable crystals that hold the potential to develop greener technologies – from better batteries for electric cars, to superconductors for more efficient computing.Our research – and that of collaborators at the Berkeley Lab, Google Research, and teams around the world — shows the potential to use AI to guide materials discovery, experimentation, and synthesis. We hope that GNoME together with other AI tools can help revolutionize materials discovery today and shape the future of the field.”
