AI to Take Center Stage at CES 2024
AI is expected to take center stage for the first time at CES, the largest consumer technology show in the world and taking place in Las Vegas from Jan. 9 to 12.
From sessions on the intersection of AI and entertainment to how AI will reinvent marketing and how space stations can enhance emerging tech like AI, this year's CES dives into a wide variety of AI-related topics.
However, notably absent were any speakers from OpenAI and Meta as of this writing, while Microsoft and Google sent middle-management speakers. Microsoft used to send its CEOs to do keynote speeches.
If you are going to CES, or attending virtually, here are some of the more interesting AI sessions worth considering.
AI Jailbreaks: 'Masterkey' Model Bypasses ChatGPT Safeguards
Computer scientists in Singapore have developed a large language model capable of generating prompts to exploit vulnerabilities in chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) built a model, dubbed Masterkey, to test and reveal potential security weaknesses in chatbots via a process called ‘jailbreaking’ – where hackers exploit flaws in a system’s software to make it do something developers deliberately restricted it from doing.
The Masterkey model generated prompts designed to circumvent safeguards on Google Bard and Microsoft Bing Chat so they would produce content that breaches their developers’ guidelines. The model can also create new prompts even after developers patched their respective systems.

New AI Model Unleashes Public Domain Mickey Mouse
On New Year’s Day, Disney’s copyright covering its original 1928 Mickey Mouse short film ? Steamboat Willie – expired and entered the public domain. Just in time, a French developer unleashed a new image generation model called Mickey-1928 that lets users create images of the original iconic Disney mascot.
That means users can now use AI to generate Steamboat Willie without penalty. The modern versions of Mickey, however, are still covered by copyright.
Mickey-1928 is a fine-tuned version of Stable Diffusion XL that has been trained on 96 stills from the film. Pierre-Carl Langlais, head of research at Opsci, a French AI research lab, built the model.
