[ad_1] Humans excel at processing vast arrays of visual information, a skill that is crucial for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Over the decades, AI researchers have developed Visual Question Answering (VQA) systems to interpret scenes within single images and answer related questions. While recent advancements in foundation models have significantly closed the gap between…
[ad_1] In another instance of potentially troubling behaviour of AI models, researchers have found that OpenAI’s o3 model resisted being shut down even when explicitly instructed to do so. In a series of posts on X, Palisade Research said that o3 disabled a shutdown mechanism in order to prevent itself from being turned off. “o3…
