Apple Inc. recently launched the next generation AI system Ferret-UI 2. This cross-platform AI assistant has made significant breakthroughs in UI element recognition, achieving a test score of 89.73, far surpassing GPT-4V's score of 77.73, demonstrating exceptional performance. The most notable feature of this system is its intelligent ability to understand user intent. Unlike traditional coordinate-based interaction methods, Ferret-UI 2 can automatically locate and execute relevant actions based on users' natural language commands.

The research team at Tsinghua University has successfully developed the 'LongWriter' artificial intelligence system, which can generate coherent texts exceeding 10,000 words, paving new avenues for long-form writing and content creation. By constructing the 'LongWriter-6k' dataset, which includes 6,000 writing samples, the research team has increased the maximum output length of the AI model from approximately 2,000 words to over 10,000 words. This innovative achievement not only enhances the AI's performance in long text generation tasks but even surpasses larger-scale models.

California Senator Steve Padilla has introduced two bills aimed at regulating the use of artificial intelligence systems, particularly those used by state government agencies. The first bill (Senate Bill 892) requires the technology department to establish safety, privacy, and non-discrimination standards for AI services, and prohibits state governments from collaborating with vendors that do not meet these standards. The second bill (Senate Bill 893) will establish a California Artificial Intelligence Research Center to provide scholars with computational resources and data. These bills come after last September.

Scientists have successfully trained an artificial intelligence system to map massive icebergs using satellite images, achieving speeds 10,000 times faster than humans. The U-net algorithm was employed to distinguish icebergs from other features, enabling accurate mapping of iceberg surface area and contours in one hundredth of a second. Iceberg monitoring is crucial for maritime safety and scientific research, and this technology promises to provide new insights into iceberg shapes and sizes. The study indicates that machine learning will enable scientists to monitor remote areas almost in real time, providing a powerful tool for polar environmental research.

The National Security Agency (NSA) has established an AI Security Center focused on regulating the safe development of artificial intelligence systems. Led by the Cybersecurity Center, the purpose of the security center is to foster global cooperation in developing measures for the safe advancement of AI technology. The head of the security center stated that artificial intelligence security focuses on protecting AI systems from attacks, leaks, and damage. The U.S. government places a high priority on regulating AI technology and has created a dedicated agency to oversee the safe development of AI systems.

A mother spent three years searching for the cause of her son's chronic headaches, but 17 doctors were unable to provide a diagnosis. Ultimately, by inputting data into ChatGPT, she received the correct diagnosis: tethered cord syndrome. This highlights the potential of artificial intelligence systems in diagnosing complex medical conditions, but also raises concerns about the risk of misinformation, necessitating further discussion and regulation.
