Richer Video Representations: Pretraining Method Improves AI's Ability to Understand Video
To understand a movie scene, viewers often must remember or infer previous events and extrapolate potential consequences. New work improved a model’s ability to do the same.

Artistry Is Obsolete: Is AI Making Human Artists Obsolete?
Is human creativity being replaced by the synthetic equivalent? The fear: AI is cranking out increasingly sophisticated visual, musical, and literary works. AI-generated media will flood the market, squeezing out human artists and depriving the world of their creativity.

New Models Inherit Old Flaws: Foundation models can pass along biases to their fine-tuned progeny.
Is AI becoming inbred? The fear: The best models increasingly are fine-tuned versions of a small number of so-called foundation models that were pretrained on immense quantities of data scraped from the web.

Crawl the Web, Absorb the Bias: NLP Models Absorb Biases from Web Training Data
The emerging generation of trillion-parameter models needs datasets of billions of examples, but the most readily available source of examples on that scale — the web — is polluted with bias and antisocial expressions. A new study examines the issue.
