According to a report by 404 Media, OpenAI employs hundreds of contract workers who read real ChatGPT conversations and score them from one to seven. One stated goal is curbing sycophantic and overly human-like replies. The prompts are anonymized, though sensitive details may still appear, and users can opt out of having their chats reviewed.
A new arXiv paper introduces Amulet, an open-source Python library designed to evaluate how machine learning defenses interact with one another. The authors note that defenses are typically built to counter a single risk, such as a security, privacy, or fairness threat, but may unintentionally shift a model's exposure to other risks. Amulet aims to give researchers and practitioners a way to measure these cross-risk effects systematically.
Apple used its iPhone launch event to introduce several new Siri audio capabilities, including Siri Recap, Live Rewind, Sound Recognition, and Music Recognition. The company also published a document detailing how these always-listening features are designed to handle user data without compromising privacy. The disclosure appears aimed at addressing concerns about AI systems that continuously process ambient sound.
Apple's chief executive John Ternus argued that the iPhone remains the strongest option for AI features, pointing to the company's on-device models. He said running models locally gives users better privacy protection. The remarks position Apple's hardware as its main AI differentiator.
