Today in AI: Google testing YouTube AI summaries, Meta working on AI personas and more

Google is testing AI-generated YouTube summaries

Google says that while the quick summary will provide users with a brief about the video, they are not intended to replace video descriptions.

• The feature will summarize the video in the description box but Google makes it clear that video descriptions and summaries are different.


• The summaries will begin to appear on watch and search pages on YouTube but are currently limited to a few videos as part of testing.


• For now, the feature appears to be free for all users but this might change once the final version rolls out.

OpenAI's GPT-3 performs as well as undergraduates in reasoning tests

The researchers also invited 40 UCLA undergraduate students to participate and attempt the same problems.

• The tests conducted by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) presented GPT-3 with problems commonly associated with intelligence tests like SAT, which are used in admissions for colleges and universities.


• UCLA concluded that GPT-3 demonstrated reasoning capabilities equal to undergraduates, even making similar mistakes. During the test, the AI was tasked with predicting subsequent shapes using a pattern of various intricate arrangements. It was also given SAT analogy tests.
