Wikipedia recently announced the release of a dataset optimized for AI model training, in collaboration with Kaggle, Google's data science community platform. This initiative aims to reduce the scraping of Wikipedia data by AI developers, conserving the platform's bandwidth and server resources. The dataset includes structured Wikipedia information in English and French, offering high machine readability for AI developers to facilitate modeling, fine-tuning, and data analysis. The Wikimedia Foundation stated that this data...

The Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has released the open-source "Wanjuan Silk Road 2.0" multilingual multimodal corpus. Building upon the existing 5 languages (Arabic, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai), this updated corpus adds three rare languages: Serbian, Hungarian, and Czech. It encompasses four modalities – text, images, audio, and video – totaling over 11.5 million data points and more than 26,000 hours of audio and video, making it a significant resource for low-resource multilingual multimodal research.

Meta Platforms, Inc. has announced plans to use user data from its European Union applications, including Facebook and Instagram, to train its artificial intelligence models. The company clarified that the training data will include users' public posts, comments, and interactions with Meta AI, but will exclude private messages with friends and family. Training will be limited to users aged 18 and over. Meta stated it will inform its EU users of this plan this week via in-app notifications and emails.

Meta recently announced it will resume training its AI models using publicly available content from European users. This decision follows a pause last year due to data privacy concerns. Meta stated that this AI training will primarily rely on publicly shared posts and comments from adult users across the 27 EU countries. Furthermore, interactions between users and Meta AI, such as questions and queries, will also be used to train and improve its AI models.

Last week, around 100 authors protested outside Meta's London headquarters, accusing the American tech giant of using their works without permission to train its AI models. Protesters chanted "Meta, Meta, book thieves," with some holding signs such as "I wanted to write a slogan, but you'll steal it" and "Give us back our books, Zuck," a clear jab at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Earlier reports suggested Zuckerberg approved the company's use of a dataset called

Microsoft recently unveiled a remarkable research project – WHAMM (World and Human Action MaskGIT Model). This innovative AI model can generate and run the classic game Quake II entirely within the AI model, producing a playable version in real-time. This research, part of Microsoft's Copilot Labs, explores the potential and boundaries of generative AI in interactive media. A revolutionary breakthrough.

A recent joint study by Google, Carnegie Mellon University, and MultiOn explores the application of synthetic data in training large language models. According to Epoch AI, a research institution focused on AI development, currently available high-quality text training data totals around 300 trillion tokens. However, with the rapid advancement of large models like ChatGPT, the demand for training data is growing exponentially, projected to exhaust existing resources by 2026. Therefore, synthetic data is becoming increasingly crucial.

Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Scott, highlighted the importance of product managers in training AI agents. According to him, product managers are not only central to product design and development, but also play a crucial role in creating 'feedback loops'. These feedback loops help AI agents continuously learn and improve their ability to perform tasks, better meeting user needs. Kevin Scott points out that the effectiveness of AI systems is heavily reliant on human feedback. Product managers are integral to this process.

A group of prominent authors, including Richard Osman, Kazuo Ishiguro, Kate Mosse, and Val McDermid, have signed an open letter calling on the UK government to hold Meta accountable for using copyrighted books in its AI training. The letter requests that the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, summon Meta representatives to discuss the matter.
