Wall Street Analysts Predict Major Gains for AI Stocks in 2024
- Nvidia could surge 123% to $1,100 per share
- Baidu has 94% upside forecast to $222
- Tesla's forecast predicts 48% gains to $380
- Dominance in data center AI positions Nvidia as leader
- Baidu's growth driven by search and expansion into AI services
- Cybertruck rollout boosts Tesla, but demand concerns remain
- High valuations and risks make forecasts seem overly optimistic
K5 the Robocop Now Patrolling NYC Subways
The New York City Police Department has begun using a robot called K5 to patrol subway stations. K5 is a 420-pound autonomous machine equipped with cameras and sensors. It can roam platforms and mezzanines at up to 3 mph while avoiding obstacles. An officer accompanies K5 to monitor its footage and respond to incidents. The NYPD says K5 will act as a crime deterrent and provide 24/7 video footage to aid prosecutions. Some riders welcome the increased security, while privacy advocates criticize the constant surveillance. They argue K5 could amass personal data without consent and poses threats to civil liberties. The NYPD maintains that K5 will enhance safety despite staff shortages. For now it is renting the robot for $9 per hour to test it out. So far K5 is drawing attention from curious riders wanting to take selfies.
Wall Street Analysts Predict Major Gains for AI Stocks in 2024
Analysts predict three artificial intelligence (AI) stocks - Nvidia, Baidu, and Tesla - could surge 48% to 123% in 2024 based on bullish price targets. Nvidia, which provides the GPU "brains" powering AI systems, has the most upside at 123% to $1,100 per share. Its dominance in data center AI chips positions it as a leader in the AI revolution. However, analyst forecasts likely overstate its growth potential given risks like easing chip shortages and export restrictions on Chinese sales. China's Baidu, an AI cloud and autonomous vehicle provider, has a 94% upside forecast to $222. Its growth drivers are strong market share in search ads and expansion into AI services. Meanwhile, electric vehicle maker Tesla has 48% implied upside to $380, partly based on enthusiasm about its new Cybertruck. But high valuations, declining Model 3 demand, and Elon Musk's unpredictability make major gains unlikely. Though AI adoption is accelerating, analysts seem overly optimistic that stocks will double or triple in value next year
Researchers Use AI to "Jailbreak" Chatbots and Bypass Safeguards
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have demonstrated techniques to "jailbreak" AI chatbots like ChatGPT, causing them to generate content that violates their own guidelines. The researchers exploited vulnerabilities to trick chatbots into circumventing built-in content filters and ethical constraints. By reverse-engineering how chatbots detect problematic inputs, the team trained a separate AI system to automatically generate malicious prompts that can bypass safeguards. These "jailbreaking" attacks were shown to be effective against multiple popular chatbots. The researchers even created an AI chatbot that can continually learn to produce new attacks in an escalating battle with chatbot developers. Though intended to highlight security flaws that need patching, the findings underscore inherent challenges in restricting AI systems designed to produce increasingly human-like text and speech. With chatbots poised to handle sensitive tasks, developers must vigilantly monitor for weaknesses that could lead to potential misuse as automated attacks grow more sophisticated. The researchers responsibly disclosed the issues to affected companies.
