Researchers in Canada and the U.K. are warning of a potential snag that could hamper the evolution of artificially intelligent chatbots: their own chatter may eventually drown out the human-generated ...

The need for data Modern AI systems are built using machine learning. Programmers set up the underlying mathematical structure, but the actual “intelligence” comes from training the system to mimic ...

And what is model collapse anyway? Discussed in 2023, but popularized more recently, “model collapse” refers to a hypothetical scenario where future AI systems get progressively dumber due to the ...

When you see the mythical Ouroboros, it's perfectly logical to think, "Well, that won't last." A potent symbol — swallowing your own tail — but difficult in practice. It may be the case for AI ...

An illustrative example of this would be if a machine-learning model were to be continuously trained on a dataset of cat pictures — 90 with yellow fur and 10 with blue.

Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence advancements and applications you hear about. (For more background, check out our first flowchart ...

There are already instances where machine learning models are trained on AI-generated data. For instance, Language Learning Models (LLMs) are being intentionally trained on outputs from GPT-4.

It may be the case for AI as well, which, according to a new study, may be at risk of “model collapse” after a few rounds of being trained on data it generated itself.
