SK hynix, a leading semiconductor supplier based in Korea, is developing innovative products to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The company's CMM-Ax product adds computational functionality to high-capacity memory, improving performance and energy efficiency of next-generation server platforms. Additionally, SK hynix plans to produce 6th generation HBM (HBM4) in the second half of this year to lead the customized HBM market. This move is expected to further accelerate AI-driven changes in the world.

The technique uses the Likert scale to score the harmfulness of a response and generate examples that align with the scales, including potentially harmful content. In research posted on December 31, Unit 42 found that this technique can increase the attack success rate by over 60% compared to plain attack prompts. The goal is to help defenders prepare for potential attacks using this technique, which targets edge cases and does not reflect typical LLM use cases. This comes as hackers have begun offering "jailbreak-as-a-service" that uses prompts to trick commercial AI chatbots into generating prohibited content.

The AI was trained on over 17,000 ultrasound images from patients across eight countries and outperformed both experienced and inexperienced examiners with an accuracy rate of 86.3%. This is particularly significant as ovarian tumors are often detected by chance and there is a shortage of ultrasound experts in many parts of the world, leading to concerns about unnecessary interventions and delayed cancer diagnoses.

She emphasizes the importance of "inclusive connectivity" as a key factor in achieving digital justice, ensuring that every individual benefits from technology to improve their well-being. To achieve this goal, the government is expediting the development of digital infrastructure, particularly in remote and underserved regions. For instance, 120+ BTS towers are being built in Papua to provide communication services to 1,000 remote villages by 2025. The Ministry has also launched initiatives such as the Digital Talent Scholarship (DTS) programme to train individuals in digital fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data analysis. Additionally, the Ministry is working to create a secure online environment for all Indonesians, blocking over 250,000 items related to online gambling and taking down influencer accounts promoting illegal activities.

The company's Large Language Models have been experiencing slower rates of improvement, making everyday experiences with ChatGPT less distinct between models. Meanwhile, OpenAI's video generator Sora, released in December 2024 as part of the '12 days of OpenAI' event, has received praise but is facing competition from rival AI generators like Pika that can perform tasks Sora cannot.
