Stop panicking about AI, start preparing, says The Economist. With the rise of AI, it's essential to understand its implications and prepare for its future. Misericordia University has launched a new Bachelor's degree program in Artificial Intelligence, a step towards preparing the next generation for AI's impact.
The launch of this program is a significant step towards addressing the need for AI talent. As AI continues to evolve, it's crucial to have professionals who can develop and implement AI solutions responsibly. Microsoft's recent unveiling of a method to detect sleeper agent backdoors is a great example of this.
Microsoft's method is a game-changer in identifying poisoned models without knowing the trigger or intended outcome. This is particularly important for organisations integrating open-weight large language models, as they face a specific supply chain vulnerability. The detection of sleeper agents can help prevent hidden threats and ensure the safe development of AI.
The key takeaway is that AI's future is not something to be feared, but something to be prepared for. By investing in education and research, we can ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly. The launch of AI degree programs and the development of methods to detect sleeper agent backdoors are just the beginning.
