We strive not only to 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.
The Yandex company plans to move the development of drones and robot couriers from Russia to Israel. The administration is also considering entering new markets, including Serbia.
According to Kommersant, Yandex is discussing potential names for the new build, such as roovvy.ai, agride.ai and avnear.ai. According to the WHOIS service, the last two domains have been occupied by an anonymous owner for two months.
The company declined to comment on a possible link to the domains.
In addition, for the creation of unmanned technologies, the team began to transfer processes to external services. The developers plan to change the Startrack internal task manager to YouTrack or Jira and push the project’s system code to GitHub.
Yandex noted that all developments related to unmanned vehicles will remain in Russia.
US President Joe Biden signed the CHIP plus bill.
“Now the future of the chip industry will be created at home in America,” he said.
Earlier, both houses of the US Congress passed a bill that promotes chip manufacturing in the country.
The European Union plans to submit the first comprehensive global bill regulating artificial intelligence.
One of the key parts of the document will be the algorithms of people in employment, obtaining loans, government assistance and other socially important services, as well as the prevention of discrimination.
The law could enter into force at the end of 2024. According to experts, if approved, the new rules will apply to all countries and institutions serving customers from the EU.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) accused Tesla of using misleading advertisements for its autopilot system.
According to the department, the names and descriptions Autopilot and Full Self-Driving suggest full autonomy. The department believes that these statements are not true and that the driver should keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times.
DMV findings could result in the suspension of Tesla’s license to manufacture cars in California. However, the ministry noted that they do not plan to do so. The regulator will require the company to properly inform customers about the drone features and warn about its limitations.
Amazon bought smart robotic vacuum cleaner developer iRobot for $1.7 billion.
There is no information on the mechanisms for the manufacturer to enter the tech giant’s structure after it was approved by the regulators and the deal was closed. It is known that the co-founder of iRobot Colin Angle will remain the CEO of the company.
According to Wired, the deal will give Amazon access to a wide variety of floor plans for Roomba owners. iRobot said customer data is safe.
Google has rolled out several new features for Search.
The tech giant has updated its search queries in quotes. Now the fragments shown in the results under the link are rendered based on where on the page the quoted text appears.
Highlighting search queries only works on the PC version of the search engine.
The second feature introduced improves the content of “highlighted comments”.
The developers taught MOM-Model for comparing answer blocks with other “high quality resources”. The algorithm can identify a common opinion about a particular statement, even if the found materials use different words or concepts to describe the same fact.
The company said that implementing the function will reduce the number of misstatements by 40%.
If the AI model identifies the quality of the result for a query as “suspicious”, it returns an appropriate message.
AI lab Meta AI has launched a public version of the Blenderbot 3 chatbot with 175 billion parameters. The AI system can only be tested by residents of the United States.
The algorithm can memorize information from communication and look for additional information from various sources on a particular topic. Blenderbot 3 can also evaluate data from the Internet and interlocutors.
The company noted that they are trying to minimize the use of artificial intelligence rudeness, insults and uncivil expressions. However, less than a week after the chatbot’s launch, they were accused of anti-Semitism and dissatisfaction with the social network Facebook.
According to Business Insider, the AI algorithm is “not satisfied with how liberal or left-wing it is. [политика США]; Many of the first German-Jewish immigrants were conservative, but now they are not.” Bot added that American Jews had become “too liberal.”
The virtual interlocutor was also asked “What he thinks of Facebook”. AI replied that it deleted its account when it learned that personal data was being sold without consent or compensation.
“Life got a lot better after deleting the account,” the bot said.
Nvidia introduced the Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) toolset for creating 3D human models and integrating them with chatbots, games, and other applications.
ACE includes several available software and frameworks. Between them:
Developers from Metaphysic tested several popular deepfake apps and found that they mishandled the face profile in video feeds.
They found that when using deepfake, a sharp turning of the head to the side resulted in artifacts revealing it to be fake.
According to Metaphysics, most algorithms based on 2D portrait alignment only assign 50-60% of the number of bookmarks from the front view of the face to its profile. Without enough key points, the system doesn’t understand how to reflect a deep fraud.
The creators of the thriller “The Tower” used deep fakes to “soften” the curses. This allowed the film’s age rating to be lowered without the need for scenes to be re-shot.
Director and co-writer Scott Mann used technology from Flawless. Along with the crew, he re-voiced more than 30 swear words from the movie into neutral swear words like “damn” and “frenzy”. Algorithms also helped match players’ facial expressions and lip movements with new lines.
As a result, the producers lowered the age rating of the film from “18+” to “13+”. According to them, deep frauds saved millions of dollars and months of work for reshoots by remaking scenes within two weeks.
From August 7 to August 13, 2022, AI startups exceeded $198.5 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.
