In the coming months, we’re launching a new tool called "About this image." It will show important context like when the image was first indexed by Google, where it may have first appeared, and other background information so you can get a better understanding of whether an image is reliable — or if you need to take a second look.

We’re releasing GPT-4 — a large multimodal model (image & text in, text out) which is a significant advance in both capability and alignment.

Still limited in many ways, but passes many qualification benchmarks like the bar exam & AP Calculus: https://t.co/L6VGJ0WfFv

[Jim Fan @DrJimFan]

*If* GPT-4 is multimodal, we can predict with reasonable confidence what GPT-4 *might* be capable of, given Microsoft’s prior work Kosmos-1:

- Visual IQ test: yes, the ones that humans take!
- OCR-free reading comprehension: input a screenshot, scanned document, street sign, or any pixels that contain text. Reason about the contents directly without explicit OCR. This is extremely useful to unlock AI-powered apps on multimedia web pages, or “text in the wild” from real world cams.
- Multimodal chat: have a conversation about a picture. You can even provide “follow-up” images in the middle.
- Broad visual understanding abilities, like captioning, visual question answering, object detection, scene layout, common sense reasoning, etc.
- Audio & speech recognition (??): wasn’t mentioned in Kosmos-1 paper, but Whisper is already an OpenAI API and should be fairly easy to integrate.

Note: the predictions are based on what Andreas Braun, Microsoft Germany CTO, allegedly said. They may or may not be accurate (that’s why I call it “prediction”). But Kosmos-1 is very real and rock solid. It offers a glimpse of either GPT-4 or whatever AI service that Microsoft will provide next. I find it difficult to believe Kosmos-1 will stay in the lab and not become a product.

In any case, prepare yourself for multimodal APIs - they’ll happen sooner or later!

@jcschwaab @jphwalter @GregoireBarbey @Forum_RTS Pour agir il faut savoir ce qui se passe, non? Qui surveille en Suisse le mode de fonctionnement des algorithmes de recrutement ? On laisse le soin aux américains de réguler ?

[Pascal Wassmer @PascalWassmer]

@jcschwaab @jphwalter @GregoireBarbey @Forum_RTS Comment savoir qu’il y a discrimination quand ni le candidat ni l’entreprise ne connaissent le fonctionnement de l’algorithme ? Audit obligatoire comme à NY? Qui comme auditeur? Sur quelle bases?
