Understand artificial intelligence from a social perspective
Understanding artificial intelligence from a social perspective
Wu Jun/Text
I am very honored to write this introductory article for "The Era of Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity". Using the author's language, I can decipher what's most important about the book and how it affects us. This book is very useful for us to understand artificial intelligence from a social perspective.
In the thousands of years of human history, geniuses have created countless amazing ideas. They laid the foundation of human philosophy and contributed to the progress of science. Every historical period has left behind its own historical achievements, from the period of ancient civilizations to the period of the Enlightenment. Today, even children are familiar with the names of great thinkers such as Confucius, Buddha, Jesus, Aristotle, Khwarezm, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven and Einstein.
However, today, there is a new group of subjects of invention and creation, and they are not human beings! In many ways, artificial intelligence has surpassed humans and exceeded people's wildest imagination, such as in various games. Thousands of years of human understanding of Go have been transformed by AlphaG. The depth of this level of telling that it is wrong is obviously far out of reach compared to the depth of human understanding of Go represented by the latter. Of course, what is more realistic is to use deep neural networks to produce textured images, write smooth and beautiful articles, and design the molecular structure of drugs. This algorithm can be used to autonomously drive and control fighter jets. It can not only replace the driver of commercial vehicles, but also enable the operation of military aircraft. All in all, we have never felt so excited and yet so threatened, not just because they threaten our jobs, but because we fear that we will be manipulated by completely unknown forces.
In addition, current artificial intelligence algorithms will continue to amplify errors in training, because the training of various algorithms requires millions of iterations. For example, in the medical field, although artificial intelligence technology has been used to study the different results of the same treatment (or drug) produced by different people's genetic genes, this research on personalized medicine based on artificial intelligence has led to over-matching of treatment plans. Phenomenon, it works very well for some people, but completely ineffective for others. This is because the training data for artificial intelligence comes from
Some people, and it doesn't know how to adjust the results for others.
Although these "half-baked" artificial intelligences are not perfect, they are already starting to change the world and are turning us into different people than we were before. For example, Google’s search engine or Facebook’s social network, which consumes billions of dollars every day, use artificial intelligence to censor various content, filter results, and provide us with the society they want us to see, rather than the complete society. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is still hard to say. Regardless, we have changed as a result of their influence.
Today, people’s attitude toward artificial intelligence is similar to that toward nuclear technology nearly a century ago, with both fondness and ambivalence. On the one hand, nuclear technology gives people hope in many fields. It can not only solve human energy problems, but also be used in medical and other fields. People may also use nuclear technology to carry out destruction and nuclear blackmail, which directly threatens the survival of mankind. Just like how we viewed nuclear technology in the past, we are now unable to judge the pros and cons of artificial intelligence technology. The designers and users of technology determine the boundaries between good and evil, but it is difficult for us to use unified standards to measure their moral behavior. All we know is that scientific progress won’t stop just because we don’t like it, and trying to slow down the discovery of AI technology is a fool’s errand. What we can do is that as the main body of society and as leaders, we must figure out what fields artificial intelligence technology can be used in and where it should be restricted.
Today, even this level of "half-baked" artificial intelligence is already quite powerful. In the future, it will become an almost omnipotent existence. All we need to do is to make good use of it. For example, this technology should be used for drug research and discovery of new drugs, but its use in cyber attacks and wars should be strictly limited. We must ensure that the development of artificial intelligence is consistent with human ideals and well-being. For this reason, from now on, we must effectively manage artificial intelligence technology. Artificial intelligence technology has become popular all over the world, and the learning threshold is lower than that of nuclear technology. We are no longer able to formulate a norm similar to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to prevent someone from using artificial intelligence to do evil, but it is still very important to set a standard for the reasonable use of artificial intelligence around the world.
We need to ensure we educate the next generation to use this technology to advance human welfare and serve the public good. While some may scoff at our seemingly naive notion, it is crucial that we take the first step.
Today, mankind stands on the crest of the wave of technological revolution. Our generation is fortunate to usher in the intelligent era, but we must also assume the responsibility of guiding the healthy development of intelligent technology.

Context-augmented AI coding assistant using Rag and Sem-Rag
Jun 10, 2024 am 11:08 AM
Improve developer productivity, efficiency, and accuracy by incorporating retrieval-enhanced generation and semantic memory into AI coding assistants. Translated from EnhancingAICodingAssistantswithContextUsingRAGandSEM-RAG, author JanakiramMSV. While basic AI programming assistants are naturally helpful, they often fail to provide the most relevant and correct code suggestions because they rely on a general understanding of the software language and the most common patterns of writing software. The code generated by these coding assistants is suitable for solving the problems they are responsible for solving, but often does not conform to the coding standards, conventions and styles of the individual teams. This often results in suggestions that need to be modified or refined in order for the code to be accepted into the application
Seven Cool GenAI & LLM Technical Interview Questions

These questions It requires thinking outside the box. Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly important in the fields of data science, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and artificial intelligence. These complex algorithms enhance human skills and drive efficiency and innovation in many industries, becoming the key for companies to remain competitive. LLM has a wide range of applications. It can be used in fields such as natural language processing, text generation, speech recognition and recommendation systems. By learning from large amounts of data, LLM is able to generate text
Can fine-tuning really allow LLM to learn new things: introducing new knowledge may make the model produce more hallucinations
Jun 11, 2024 pm 03:57 PM
Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on huge text databases, where they acquire large amounts of real-world knowledge. This knowledge is embedded into their parameters and can then be used when needed. The knowledge of these models is "reified" at the end of training. At the end of pre-training, the model actually stops learning. Align or fine-tune the model to learn how to leverage this knowledge and respond more naturally to user questions. But sometimes model knowledge is not enough, and although the model can access external content through RAG, it is considered beneficial to adapt the model to new domains through fine-tuning. This fine-tuning is performed using input from human annotators or other LLM creations, where the model encounters additional real-world knowledge and integrates it
To provide a new scientific and complex question answering benchmark and evaluation system for large models, UNSW, Argonne, University of Chicago and other institutions jointly launched the SciQAG framework
Jul 25, 2024 am 06:42 AM
Editor |ScienceAI Question Answering (QA) data set plays a vital role in promoting natural language processing (NLP) research. High-quality QA data sets can not only be used to fine-tune models, but also effectively evaluate the capabilities of large language models (LLM), especially the ability to understand and reason about scientific knowledge. Although there are currently many scientific QA data sets covering medicine, chemistry, biology and other fields, these data sets still have some shortcomings. First, the data form is relatively simple, most of which are multiple-choice questions. They are easy to evaluate, but limit the model's answer selection range and cannot fully test the model's ability to answer scientific questions. In contrast, open-ended Q&A
Five schools of machine learning you don't know about
Jun 05, 2024 pm 08:51 PM
Machine learning is an important branch of artificial intelligence that gives computers the ability to learn from data and improve their capabilities without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning has a wide range of applications in various fields, from image recognition and natural language processing to recommendation systems and fraud detection, and it is changing the way we live. There are many different methods and theories in the field of machine learning, among which the five most influential methods are called the "Five Schools of Machine Learning". The five major schools are the symbolic school, the connectionist school, the evolutionary school, the Bayesian school and the analogy school. 1. Symbolism, also known as symbolism, emphasizes the use of symbols for logical reasoning and expression of knowledge. This school of thought believes that learning is a process of reverse deduction, through existing
SOTA performance, Xiamen multi-modal protein-ligand affinity prediction AI method, combines molecular surface information for the first time
Jul 17, 2024 pm 06:37 PM
Editor | KX In the field of drug research and development, accurately and effectively predicting the binding affinity of proteins and ligands is crucial for drug screening and optimization. However, current studies do not take into account the important role of molecular surface information in protein-ligand interactions. Based on this, researchers from Xiamen University proposed a novel multi-modal feature extraction (MFE) framework, which for the first time combines information on protein surface, 3D structure and sequence, and uses a cross-attention mechanism to compare different modalities. feature alignment. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves state-of-the-art performance in predicting protein-ligand binding affinities. Furthermore, ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness and necessity of protein surface information and multimodal feature alignment within this framework. Related research begins with "S
