OpenAI's content moderation
PLUS: Even more Google Search AI?

TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.
Here’s what’s on the menu today:
Kneron’s new AI chip 💽
It’s up to 75% more energy-efficient than existing GPUs.
OpenAI uses GPT-4 to moderate content 🤖🚨
The goal: less involvement from human moderators.
More Google Search AI tools 🔎🔥🐜
AI definitions, coding insights, and SGE while browsing.
APPETIZER
Kneron’s new AI chip 💽
Kneron plans to release the KL730 later this year. It’s a more powerful and energy-efficient NPU than the 2021 version — the KL530.
Letters and numbers.
It hopes to directly compete with NVIDIA.
Good luck.
No diggity:
1/ Kneron’s CEO says that its chips are designed specifically for AI.
2/ He said it’s unlike those originally made for processing graphics and forced to work for AI.
Burn.
3/ It’s up to 75% more energy-efficient than GPUs.
4/ It would allow users to run LLMs entirely offline. This allows more secure data and eliminates the need for a cloud provider.
Our take: Taking on NVIDIA is daunting, to say the least. Kneron didn’t disclose the KL730’s price tag, but if it saves 75% on the energy bill and comes in at a competitive price — things may have gotten interesting.
BUZZWORD OF THE DAY
NPU
A Neural Processing Unit is a microprocessor tailored for AI algorithms. It’s similar to a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), but it primarily operates on predictive models like Artificial Neural Networks and Random Forests.

MAIN COURSE
GPT-4, the content mod 🤖🚨
OpenAI has revealed that it uses GPT-4 for content moderation. The result: streamlined content moderation/labeling and faster policy updates.
AI inception?
The goal is to reduce the dependence on human moderators and to reliably scale content moderation.
How it works (simplified):
1/ Human experts label queries as safe or unsafe.
2/ GPT-4 refines its responses to match these labels.
3/ A compact version of this refined model handles large-scale content moderation.
The tea:
1/ OpenAI says GPT-4 reduces policy change times from “months to hours.”
2/ It creates more consistency, a faster feedback loop, and a reduced mental burden on humans.
3/ OpenAI says it’s “more reliable“ than Anthropic’s Constitutional AI.
Our take: seeing AI take over content moderation is probably a move for the better. We’ve seen this before, but doing so on a wider scale will mean a huge reduction of psychological burden on human mods.
And considering how closely content moderation is tied to advertising dollars, this change may — or may not — cause some big waves. It all depends on how well the AI works.
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
Google Search’s AI features 🔎🔥🐜
AI-powered definitions, coding info in overlays, and SGE while browsing.
Plus, more censorship?
The juice:
1/ Hover over unknown words for complete definitions.
2/ Code in search results becomes color-coded with syntax highlighting.
3/ “SGE while browsing” summarizes articles for you — (non-paywall ones).
Our take: Google’s gone ham on search. In August alone, they implemented:
And now, all this as well.
Hot dog!
