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.
Apple introduced the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with the new A16 Bionic processor.
The chip contains a 16-core neuroprocessor that performs up to 17 billion operations per second, as well as a 5-core video accelerator. According to company representatives, the A16 Bionic is 40% more efficient than its competitors.
The smartphones are equipped with new photosensors and a Super Retina XDR display with a brightness of up to 2000 nits and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. FaceID facial recognition sensors are found in the new Dynamic Island cutaway.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus were built on the 2021 A15 Bionic processor, but received new photosensors.
Apple also announced a number of features, including automatic recognition of traffic accidents using a smartphone or smartwatch.
In addition, the company introduced the new Apple Watch and AirPods Pro 2.
New products will be available in two weeks. Smartphones range from $799 to $1,599, Apple Watch $249 to $799, and AirPods Pro 2 $249.
On September 20, 2022, Nvidia CEO will give a special talk about GeForce Beyond at the GTC 2022 GPU tech conference.
The company is expected to show GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards with a new architecture codenamed Lovelace.
On October 6, 2022, Google will host the Made By Google Gadget Conference.
The technology giant will showcase Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, Pixel Watch smartwatch and new Nest smart home devices at the event. According to the company, all gadgets shown at the conference will appear on sale immediately.
In the announcement of the conference, Google also confirmed that Pixel 7 smartphones will be equipped with next-generation Tensor G2 AI chips.
Xiaomi introduced the food processor Mijia Cooking Robot with artificial intelligence.
The device has 35 different functions, from grinding spices to frying food. The cooking process is controlled by the CookingIoT AI algorithm, which automatically calculates the temperature and required time.
The robot is equipped with a touch screen, on which users are presented with more than 200 recipes. You can also control the device using voice commands.
Mijia Cooking Robot $869 pre-order. While the device is available in China.
The US government’s licensing restrictions on AI chip exports won’t hurt Chinese robocar manufacturers.
According to CNBC, many EV developers in China are using Nvidia Drive Orin and Xavier processors for their driver assistance systems. However, new US government restrictions apply to the A100 and H100 chips used for supercomputing and artificial intelligence.
According to sources, there are no restrictions on Xavier and Orin, and manufacturers like Xpeng or Nio will be able to purchase these processors. However, in the future, US chip suppliers for AI and autonomous driving may be subject to “close scrutiny,” they added.
Historian and philosopher Emil Torres believes that artificial intelligence threatens humanity with complete extinction.
According to him, people should be worried about the emergence of artificial superintelligence. The scientist believes that the power of this technology will far exceed the cognitive abilities of humanity and could become the main cause of extinction due to the inability to control its actions.
Torres added that AI research needs to be slowed or even suspended. If scientists don’t do that, governments have to decide, he said.
PromptBase has launched a text query marketplace for renderers.
The platform allows engineers to sell tips to help those who want to create paintings and reproduce a particular art style or subject using AI algorithms. The site offers requests for Midjourney, DALL-E, and other GAN models.
Recommendations cost $2 to $5 per paragraph.
An enthusiast created a Stable Diffusion Video text-based video generator. The algorithm is based on code from AI developer Andrey Karpaty.
The user can use multiple queries or different versions of the same tip. Based on them, the system will generate a video by interpolating the hidden area of ​​the Stable Diffusion neural network.
Anyone can try the tool in the Colab cloud environment.
Researchers at the University of California used AI, X-rays and 3D printing to restore a lost painting of Vincent van Gogh’s The Two Wrestlers.
Under the layers of paint, engineers discovered “Still Life with Meadow Flowers and Roses”. They developed algorithms to reconstruct silhouette contours from X-ray data and mimic an artist’s style. Enthusiasts used a 3D printer to print the finished job.
Engineers at the Max Planck Society’s Institute for Brain Research have used artificial intelligence to understand the speech of animals.
The researchers used an AI algorithm to analyze 36,000 records of “tweets” of naked mole rats from seven colonies. According to them, a huge amount of social information is hidden in this daily “talk”.
Scientists discovered that all rodents have their own sound signature, and each colony has a special dialect that has been passed down from generation to generation. Also, in times of social instability, including the overthrow and replacement of the queen, a new dialect style emerged.
German enthusiast Fabian Stelzer uses neural networks to create his feature film Salt. The author has released a short trailer.
While working on the film, Stelzer used systems such as DALL-E 2 and Midjourney. The amateur director also used a deepfake to create a facial movement and sound generator effect.
The plot of “Salt” revolves around a mysterious, salt-like substance. In the process, it is revealed that he is of alien origin with sinister plans.
From September 4 to September 10, 2022, AI startups exceeded $378 million. Here are the most interesting trades.
