We strive to not only inform readers about events in the bitcoin industry, but also to talk about what is happening in the relevant technological fields – cybersecurity
We strive to not only inform readers about events in the bitcoin industry, but also to talk about what is happening in the relevant technological fields – cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI) world.
ForkLog AI gathered the most important news from the world of AI last week.
Microsoft introduced new features and products with artificial intelligence at its Build 2022 conference. Between them:
Microsoft also provided conference attendees with unlimited access to the Codex AI tool for three months and free tokens to use other models in the OpenAI API.
Part of the Google Brain Team introduced an image generator for a text query called Imagen.
The system is based on a large pre-trained language neural network and a cascade distributed model. The developers said Imagen combines a deep understanding of text with an “unprecedented degree of photorealism.”
Google engineers developed the DrawBench test to evaluate the renderer. They compared the presented algorithm with VQ-GAN + CLIP, latent diffusion models and DALL-E 2. According to the developers, human participants preferred Imagen to analogs in parallel comparison.
The metrics used to prove Imagen understood “better” user queries included spatial relationships, long texts, unusual words, and complex clues.
By 2026, Samsung will invest $356 billion in artificial intelligence, chips and biotechnology.
The company said about $285 billion will go to South Korea, with the rest going abroad.
Samsung Electronics is using funding to build advanced AI chips, supercomputers and robots. In the near future, the tech giant will start developing 3nm chips and focus on the development of 6G technology.
Samsung said the investment will create about 1 million jobs.
Amazon has installed AI cameras on delivery vans in the UK.
The company uses a pair of sensors to record video in the cabin and on the road. AI cameras monitor compliance with traffic rules and the “correct” behavior of drivers. In case of detection of violations, the system will give an audible signal. Amazon also collects travel data.
The devices do not allow operators to monitor drivers in real time and do not record audio. Presumably, they could forward the images to a special security team.
Advocacy organization Big Brother Watch urged the tech giant to shut down the AI system, describing its use as “excessive, intrusive and appalling surveillance of workers”.
Chinese scientists have developed an AI fabric to correct posture in real time.
The self-powered system uses triboelectric nanogenerators that harvest energy from human movements to power the sensors. The data received by the devices is processed by an AI algorithm that analyzes the position of the back and notifies the user that he needs to correct his posture.
Scientists created the fabric by combining nylon and conductive fibers. According to the developers, the material is mobile, durable, breathable and washable, which makes it comfortable to wear for a long time.
China has launched an AI ship for independent and remote exploration in the ocean.
Zhu Hai Yun can carry dozens of drones, autonomous ships and submarines. The ship is capable of detecting, intercepting and blocking a wide range of targets.
With a length of 88.5 m, a width of 14 m and a design displacement of 2000 tons, the ship can reach a maximum speed of 18 knots.
Zhu Hai Yun equipment is part of an intelligent mobile ocean stereo surveillance system developed by researchers from the Guangdong South Marine Science and Technology Laboratory.
According to Science and Technology Daily, the ship’s AI platform could serve as a tool to prevent and mitigate marine disasters, monitor the ocean environment and protect offshore wind farms.
Dutch police committed deep fraud of a teenager murdered in 2003 to speed up the criminal investigation.
Law enforcement, with his parents’ permission, took a video of the shot Cedar Soares asking the public to help with the investigation.
Police said they have already received dozens of responses thanks to the video. However, it is not yet clear to them whether these potential customers can be used.
New York State will distribute ElliQ assistive robots to more than 800 seniors. The initiative aims to address the growing problem of social exclusion of the elderly.
The robots were designed to hold conversations, connect with relatives, and track health goals such as exercising and taking medication. Devices do not help you perform physical tasks.
According to the developers, the system is able to show empathy and connect with users. The robot also remembers the basic features of human life and adapts to it.
ElliQ consists of two parts. The first includes a “bulb face” with a microphone and speaker that lights up during a call and turns towards the user. The second is a touchscreen tablet to view pictures, learn more and make video calls.
Engineer Caleb Olson has developed an artificial intelligence system that detects dog feces and helps the owner find them.
The programmer compiled a dataset from images of his dog defecating. Based on this data, the developer trained the DeepLabCut algorithm to recognize specific animal poses.
The robotic system identifies the dog’s movement in real time and highlights this location with a red circle in the video broadcast from the security camera. The tool also highlights the location with a green laser, which is activated when the person’s arms are crossed. If the host has crouched down to clear the excrement, the beam will move to the next area.
The unmanned trimaran Mayflower embarked for the third time on a transatlantic voyage from British Plymouth to Virginia Beach (USA).
The ship is equipped with various cameras and sensors working with computer vision algorithms for navigation. Information on the ship’s status is communicated via an online panel, and anyone can track its location and watch live streams.
During the second attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the trimaran returned to the port of Horta in the Azores due to a mechanical problem. After the repair, the ship continued its voyages.
On May 20, 2022, project leaders stated that the Mayflower would have to cover the remaining 3,500 km in 16 days. By May 27, the ship had made just over half the voyage to Virginia Beach.
Between May 22 and May 28, 2022, AI initiatives exceeded $95 million. Here are the most interesting deals.
