Artificial intelligence watermarking needs to be effective

AI company DeepMind, in its experiment, analysed a dataset of AI text and found that it was much easier to remove a watermark in the AI-generated text as compared to written text. It used a watermarking process that alters the way in which it statistically selects its ‘tokens’, which are the words from a given book or article. In its experiment, DeepMind added over 100 billion words.

Scientists have won a chemistry prize for their work

DeepMind founders Demis Hassabis, David Baker and John Jumper have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work with proteins, the building Blocks of Life. The three created AlphaFold2 model that made it possible to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins identified. The AlphaFold database was mined by two teams last year.
