On top of that, LLM SHIELD has just launched an AI-powered tool to protect sensitive data and intellectual property. Get ready to be on the cutting edge of technology!

IKEA launch 100 autonomous drones to its warehouses

IKEA continuously looks for new opportunities to innovate and create an even better experience for its customers and employees across channels. Its latest development is no different.

Google to use generative AI in its ad business

Generative AI is a type of technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content. Last month, Google began the public release of its chatbot Bard, seeking users and feedback to gain ground on Microsoft Corp in the race to top the market for AI technology.

LLM SHIELD Launches AI-powered Tool to Protect Sensitive Data and Intellectual Property

Patented.ai, the world’s first intellectual property software built from the ground up on AI-first principles, announces its introductory tool, LLM Shield. LLM Shield allows companies to safeguard their most sensitive data – proprietary source code, private customer information, unreleased financial data, legal documents, board reports and more – from large language models (LLM), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s BARD. As the most effective and efficient enterprise resource for protection and compliance when working with LLMs, Patented.ai’s LLM Shield is set to roll out...

How can the evolution of AI be advantageous to our daily lives?

That’s the question posed by Raymond Ma, General Manager of Europe at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Surely not another article about AI and its latest iteration, Generative AI! Despite the subject being already omnipresent in UK media, I wanted to make some observations as I believe it is set to have a considerable impact on our personal and professional lives.

How AI Can Help with Food Safety and Quality Issues

AI has become a big topic recently, as more companies and businesses use it and play around with the possibilities. As the technology becomes more accessible, more people will use it in different ways and the tech will no doubt advance. Because of this, many are expecting businesses to keep using AI, especially when their leads can increase and call times and cost reductions drop dramatically. It might make sense for some big companies, such as tech and writing based work, to utilize AI technology. But what about restaurants? How can a restaurant utilize AI technology in a way that improves cu...

Generative AI Will Make Over the Beauty Industry

“As generative AI progresses, it will enable faster and cheaper beauty development. It will be possible to generate the perfect makeup product for each person’s skin and hair type, as well as create perfect makeup application tutorials for every person. Additionally, it will enable companies to create personalized ads with products that have been tested and proven to be perfect for your skin or hair type,” said Sarah.

Google's AI chatbot can now generate code

In brief Bard, Google's AI-powered internet search chatbot, can now generate and help debug code in over 20 different programming languages. Users can instruct Bard to solve programming tasks and ask it to fix or explain snippets of code in C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Typescript, as well as generating functions to analyse data for Google Sheets. That's all well and good, except in cases where the bot writes wrong or bad code.

Why an AI ethical framework is necessary for insurers

Innovations leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) have led to many news headlines and opinions ranging from enthusiastic to foreboding. Regardless of personal feelings, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way work is done within general business, academia, medicine, and possibly even the arts and entertainment sectors.

As chatbots are deployed, AI whisperers will be employed

It’s basically a chatbot whisperer, skilled in eliciting the best responses from these tools. They’ll likely be needed in lots of different industries — from tech to insurance. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Anton Korinek, an economist at the University of Virginia and the Centre for the Governance of AI, who said we’ll all need to acquire some of the prompt engineer’s skills as AI becomes pervasive. An edited transcript of their conversation is below.

This might be what the ChatGPT humanoid robot will look like

These images provide clues as to how ChatGPT will look if its creators make a physical version of their hugely popular artificial intelligence. The maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI, has invested in 1X, a company that makes humanoid robots designed to do human jobs after the success of the online chatbot.
