AI arm of Sony Research to help develop large language model with AI Singapore
Summary
The partners said in a statement Tuesday their research collaboration will involve LLMs under the SEA-LION umbrella, all of which are pre-trained and instruct-tuned specifically on Southeast Asian cultures and languages. Established in April 2023, Sony Research focuses on technological development that can improve content creation and fan engagement, including in the areas of AI, sensing, and virtual spaces. Also: New global standard aims to build security around large language models With the system, Sony hopes to be able to detect and mitigate communications between individuals in multi-player games or virtual reality experiences that are malicious, such as harassment. Tapping machine learning and AI models, the system can detect biometric data such as speech and determine a players emotional state, for instance, through sounds such as sobbing and screaming. In May, Sony Music Group released a statement noting that its artists copyrighted works, including compositions, lyrics, and audio recordings, should not be scraped and used to train AI models unless explicitly authorized.
