Study Shows GPT-4 is 64% More Persuasive Than Humans in Personalized Debates: A study published in Nature Human Behaviour indicates that when OpenAI’s GPT-4 has access to personal information about a debate opponent, such as gender, age, and educational background, and adjusts its arguments accordingly, its persuasiveness is 64% higher than that of humans. This research, a collaboration involving institutions like EPFL, involved 900 participants and further confirms the powerful persuasive capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Researchers warn that this reveals AI tools can construct complex and persuasive arguments after obtaining small amounts of user information, posing a potential threat to personalized disinformation campaigns. They call on policymakers and platforms to address this risk and explore using LLMs to generate personalized counter-narratives to combat false information.

New Paper Explores Representational Optimism in Deep Learning: The Fractured and Entangled Representations Hypothesis: Kenneth Stanley et al. published a position paper, “Questioning Representational Optimism in Deep Learning: The Fractured and Entangled Representations Hypothesis.” The study points out that networks discovered through unconventional open-ended search, capable of outputting a single image, have elegant and modular representations. In contrast, networks trained via SGD to produce the same output exhibit chaotic and entangled representations. This suggests that good output behavior might hide poor internal representations, but also reveals the possibility that representations can be better, with profound implications for model generalization, creativity, and learning ability, offering new insights for improving foundation models and LLMs. (Source: hardmaru | togelius | bengoertzel)

Gender Bias in AI Algorithms: The Invisibility and Absence of “Her Data”: In the development of artificial intelligence, the problem of gender bias in algorithms is increasingly prominent. Due to historical and social reasons, female data is underrepresented in data collection (e.g., clinical trials, Wikipedia entries), leading AI to potentially produce biases against women in areas like medical diagnosis and content recommendation. For example, image recognition systems might misidentify men in kitchens as women, and search engine image results reinforce gender stereotypes. The gender imbalance in the AI industry is also considered a contributing factor. Addressing this issue requires a multi-pronged approach, including raising developer awareness, ensuring fair career opportunities for women, improving laws and regulations, establishing gender audit mechanisms for AI systems, and optimizing algorithms (e.g., data resampling, application of causal inference).
