November 14, 2023 ACEE Princeton News: Princeton researchers have developed a flexible, lightweight and energy efficient soft robot that moves without the use of any legs or rotary parts. Instead, the device uses actuators that convert electrical energy into vibrations that allow it to wiggle from point to point using only a single watt. The […]

November 2, 2023 Washington Post: ‘Prompt injection’ attacks haven’t caused giant problems yet. But it’s a matter of time, researchers say. Software developers and cybersecurity professionals have created tests and benchmarks for traditional software to show it’s safe enough to use. Right now, the safety standards for LLM-based AI programs don’t measure up, said Zico […]

October 23, 2023 MIT Technology Review: A new tool, called Nightshade, lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. Ben Zhao, a professor at […]
