Remember when AI couldn’t crack a tough math problem without hallucinating formulas? Those days could soon be over. Maybe they already are. We could already have experimental AI systems that surpass 90% accuracy on the graduate-level Google-Proof Q&A benchmark GPQA Diamond), a test of graduate‐level reasoning in biology, physics, and chemistry. For context, in-domain experts…
Copyleaks CEO: OpenAI’s o1 emergence could blur the lines between human researcher and AI assistant
The web is facing a deluge of AI-generated content, with an explosive 8,362% surge from November 2022 to March 2024, according to a study by Copyleaks. From Q1 2023 to Q1 2024, the volume of AI-detected content jumped 2,848% based on an analysis of more than a million web pages per period using data from…
Recursive fact-checking tool addresses gaps in genAI fact checking
What if you could ask a large language model a research question and get back a definitive, contextually relevant answer with verifiable sources? Or trace a scientific claim back through a century of research to uncover the foundations of a modern theory? In a talk at the AI4 conference in Las Vegas, Daniel Schauer, an…
How the replication crisis threatens R&D and what to do about it
Let’s say you are repeating a scientific experiment but each time you’re getting a completely different outcome. This is the frustrating reality of the “replication crisis,” a widespread problem affecting nearly every scientific discipline. “We’ve all seen in our own practices how there are many ‘researcher degrees of freedom’ that could lead to studies not…
