Boosted conversations, Microsoft Power Virtual Agents -

Try increasing your topic coverage with real-time responses using information from your website When designing and creating a chatbot, you'll likely encounter situations where your bot users ask questions that your bot doesn't have an answer However, by utilizing the boosted conversations in Power Virtual Agents, your bot can find and present information from an external source - even if you haven't created a topic for it. In the past, when a bot couldn't determine a user's intent, it asked the user to rephrase their question. If, after two prompts, the bot still couldn't determine the user's intent, the bot...

AI, AI Models, Artificial Cognition, Digital Minds, Generative AI, Kosmos-1, MLLM, Multimodal Large Language Model -

A big convergence of language, multimodal perception, action, and world modeling is a key step toward general artificial cognition.   In this work, we introduce Kosmos-1, a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) that can perceive general modalities, learn in context (i.e., few-shot), and follow instructions (i.e., zero-shot). We train Kosmos-1 from scratch on web-scale multimodal corpora, including arbitrarily interleaved text and images, image-caption pairs, and text data. We evaluate various settings, including zero-shot, few-shot, and multimodal chain-of-thought prompting, on a wide range of tasks without any gradient updates or finetuning. Experimental results show that Kosmos-1 achieves impressive performance on (i)...

ChatGPT, OpenAI, Tesla -

Tesla (TSLA) could team with OpenAI, the firm behind the wildly popular bot ChatGPT, to further boost its artificial intelligence (AI) enterprise, analysts said, just as the electric vehicle (EV) maker is rushing to develop its Dojo supercomputer for that same endeavor. Their comments came as OpenAI – which Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped co-found in 2015 – has spurred a chatbot arms race among tech superpowers Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG), who are racing to launch their own ChatGPT versions to dominate the AI-powered chatbot revolution. Since ChatGPT launched in November, the world has marveled at its human-like conversationalist abilities, offering...
