Research into security issues has also progressed—unfortunately, discovering more problems than solutions. A common thread in several recent attacks has been to use embeddings: an attacker discovers innocuous text or images that happen to have an embedding similar to words describing actions that aren’t allowed. These innocuous inputs easily get by filters designed to prevent hostile prompts.

- Researchers have developed a method for detecting AI-generated text that is 90% accurate and has a false positive rate of only 0.01%.
- Google has announced Lumiere, a text-to-video model that generates “realistic, diverse, and coherent” motion. Lumiere generates the entire video in one pass rather than generating distinct keyframes that are then merged.
