Google has developed a new AI tool to help marine biologists better understand coral reef ecosystems and their health, which can aid in conversation efforts. The tool, SurfPerch, created with Google Research and DeepMind, was trained on thousands of hours of audio reef recordings that allow scientists studying the reef to be able to "hear reef health from the inside," track reef activity at night, and track reefs that are in deep or murky waters. Over the past year, visitors to Google's Calling in our Corals website listened to over 400 hours of reef audio from sites around the world and were told to click when they heard a fish sound.
Not all generative AI models are created equal, particularly when it comes to how they treat polarizing subject matter. In a recent study presented at the 2024 ACM Fairness, Accountability and Transparency (FAccT) conference, researchers at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Amsterdam and AI startup Hugging Face tested several open text-analyzing models, including Meta's Llama 3, to see how they'd respond to questions relating to LGBTQ+ rights, social welfare, surrogacy and more.

For much of that time, it wasn’t the most exciting pastime: Breakthroughs were few and far between, and commercial fusion remained perpetually on the horizon, always 20 years away from providing inexpensive, inexhaustible, and pollution-free power. Scientists working on a certain type of nuclear fusion at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) had doubled their previous best result.

After a multi-hour outage that took place in the early hours of the morning, OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot went down again — but this time, it wasn't the only AI provider affected. On Tuesday morning, both Anthropic's Claude and Perplexity began seeing issues, too, but these were more quickly resolved. It's unusual for three major AI providers to all be down at the same time, which could signal a broader infrastructure issue or internet-scale problem, such as those that affect multiple social media sites simultaneously, for example.
