- DoD's AI task force
TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.
Here’s what’s on the menu today:
Amazon’s AI-generated reviews 🛍️
A new tool for summarizing customer reviews.
DoD’s AI task force 🏛️🇺🇸
The feds have announced “Task Force Lima.“
Scale AI’s LLM Testing and Evaluation 🕵️
The system is already in use with OpenAI, The White House, and others.
APPETIZER
Amazon’s new shopping AI tool 🛍️
Amazon, one of the key players behind online reviews as we know them today, is innovating on them again. This time, with AI-generated customer review highlights.
But first, a selfie.
Amazon’s testing with a small group of US mobile shoppers as a trial.
The skinny:
1/ AI summarizes a product’s reviews to quickly inform customers of its public reception and features.
2/ It creates clickable buttons based on features like “ease of use,“ “performance,“ and “stability.”
3/ Amazon claims it only summarizes verified reviews and combats fake reviews.
Our take: AI-generated reviews will become easier and easier to pull off. In 2021, Amazon claimed to block 200 million fake reviews. How many will it catch this year? Importantly: how many will it miss?
BUZZWORD OF THE DAY
Data labeling
In AI, data labeling refers to assigning classifications to AI training data to create an accurate training dataset — most often images. As a simplified example, in the case of a self-driving car: is the object in this image a traffic cone or pedestrian?
Clean labelled data can be the difference between excellent and mediocre model performance.
Scale AI has labeled data for many AI startups, including OpenAI.

MAIN COURSE
Generative AI Task Force 🏛️🇺🇸
‘Murica.
It’s called “Task Force Lima.”
Like the bean?
Frank n’ beans:
1/ The woman in charge: Kathleen Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense.
2/ The Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) oversees the task force.
3/ M. Xavier Lugo, U.S. Navy Captain and member of CDAO’s Algorithmic Warfare Directorate, is Task Force Lima’s Mission Commander.
“The adoption of artificial intelligence in defense is not solely about innovative technology, but also about enhancing national security.”
“The DoD has an imperative to responsibly pursue the adoption of generative AI models while identifying proper protective measure and mitigating security risks that may result from issues such as poorly managed training data.“
Our take: we’re not surprised by this development in the slightest. Several militaries have deployed AI for several years now, so a dedicated organization for generative AI makes sense.
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
Scale AI’s LLM Testing and Evaluation 🕵️
Scale AI launched its LLM testing and evaluation platform. Among its users are OpenAI, The White House, and CDAO.
Scale this:
1/ Scale AI partnered with OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Anthropic, and others.
2/ Scale measures LLMs for 5 main factors: instruction following, creativity, responsibility, reasoning, and factuality.
3/ It uses human experts and AI models to evaluate “harmfulness” vs “helpfulness“ in LLMs.
Our take: Scale AI has sold a valuable service in this AI gold-rush: accurate data. Because they’re ingrained in the AI ecosystem, Scale may be deep enough in the mix to influence the direction of testing and safety.
Perhaps we’re seeing this in play now.
