Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Google is expanding its Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP) to include generative AI-specific attack scenarios to incentivize AI security research. The company is also expanding its open-source security work to make AI supply chain security information universally discoverable and verifiable. As part of the VRP expansion, Google is revising its bug categorization and reporting policies to address new concerns raised by generative AI. In addition, Google is launching the Secure AI Framework (SAIF) to help the industry build trustworthy applications and is working with the Open Source Security Foundation to protect the integrity of AI supply chains.

Generative AI raises new and different concerns than traditional digital security, such as the potential for unfair bias, model manipulation or misinterpretations of data (hallucinations).

Google Maps is introducing a number of AI-powered features, including an "Immersive View" for route planning, deeper Lens integration for local navigation, and more accurate real-time information.

The Immersive View feature, which provides street-level, turn-by-turn visualizations of planned routes, is now available on iOS and Android in 15 cities and is powered by neural radiance fields. The revamped AI-based Search with Live View feature allows users to tap the Lens icon in Maps and get directions to nearby resources in 50 additional cities. The map itself is also getting an upgrade, with more accurate rendering of buildings and clearer lane details along highway interchanges.

AI startup CentML has raised $27 million in an extended seed round to develop tools that reduce the cost of deploying machine learning models and improve performance. With participation from Gradient Ventures, TR Ventures, Nvidia, and Microsoft Azure AI VP Misha Bilenko, the funding will be used to bolster product development, research, and staff expansion. CentML's software identifies bottlenecks in model training and predicts the total time and cost of deployment, with a compiler that optimizes workloads for best performance on target hardware.

CentML was founded in 2022 by CEO Gennady Pekhimenko, an expert in ML systems, and a team from Amazon, Google, NVIDIA, and IBM. The startup provides a software platform for optimizing AI models for performance and cost-effectiveness, which is much needed in generative AI.

Chris Meserole is the first executive director of the Frontier Model Forum, an industry body focused on global AI safety and responsible development. Meserole brings expertise in technology policy and governance, having previously served as director of the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

In addition, Forum members Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, along with philanthropic partners, are committing more than $10 million to a new AI Safety Fund. The fund will advance AI safety research and support independent researchers around the world. The Frontier Model Forum also releases its first technical working group update on red teaming to expand the conversation on responsible AI governance approaches.
