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.
Yandex company will sell Novosti and Zen media resources to VK holding. The parties signed a contract on the main terms of the agreement.
There are no details about the cost of the transaction and the approximate timing of its closing. Data on how Novosti and Zen will continue to work under the leadership of VKontakte will be announced later.
To complete the transaction, companies must obtain permission from the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation.
The former senior executive of Lyft has been appointed head of the AI ​​department at the Pentagon.
According to Breaking Defense, Craig Martell, the former head of the taxi-collector’s machine learning division, has moved into the position of director of digital technology and artificial intelligence at the US Department of Defense. In fiscal 2023, the department will receive $600 million from the budget to identify “key customers” and systems that need improvement.
Martell will lead the development of artificial intelligence, analytics and data strategies for the US military. It will also develop joint comprehensive command and control initiatives aimed at raising awareness of military warfare through technology.
A Tesla drone crashed into a light aircraft while autonomously responding to a call from its owner from a parking lot.
A Reddit user posted a security footage on the platform showing the incident from Felts Field airport in Spokane, Washington. In the video, a Tesla Model Y robot car crashes into a $3.5 million Cirrus Vision plane without recognizing the rear fuselage of the plane being lifted off the ground.
According to Electrek, the owner took advantage of the Smart Summon parking lot remote search feature. For the option to work, the user has to keep their finger on the button in the app while the robomobile is moving. In a dangerous situation, simply remove your hand from the screen.
The US Army’s estimated $22 billion spending on Microsoft’s HoloLens AR headset could be cut in half. The military said the initial estimate of the project reflected “the worst possible cost”.
Microsoft’s HoloLens-based integrated visual magnification system is expected to be tested from May 23 to June 25, 2022. Its results will be the “Rapid Field Test Report” developed by the Pentagon Office of Research.
elon musk guest smartwatch and smartphone experts will join Neuralink. No AI skills required.
In response to a Teslarati post on Twitter, the billionaire said that in the next ten years, Neuralink will solve the problem of restoring the relationship between the brain and spinal cord of patients who have lost themselves as a result of injury or illness. According to Musk, the chip developed by the company theoretically has the ability to completely restore the body’s functionality and in the future treat certain diseases such as obesity.
The businessman noted that the Neuralink implant has problems with “electronics, mechanics and software” similar to the complexity of a smartwatch. Therefore, the skills of experts in this field are “directly applicable,” he added.
Musk also said the company is working closely with the FDA to initiate human trials of the brain chip in late 2022.
Google introduced the LiT method to retroactively transform large image analysis algorithms into multimodal models. It is designed for the development of neural networks that generate images from a text description.
Using the presented method, neural networks learn to compare text with a pre-trained encoder for 3 billion images. According to the researchers, the multimodal LiT model has robust image analysis capabilities without the need for retraining for new tasks and approximates custom models with accuracy.
According to Google, the model trained with the presented method achieves an accuracy of 84.5% on the ImageNet test and 81.1% on the ObjectNet. By comparison, the strongest version of OpenAI’s CLIP model scored 76.2% on ImageNet and 72.3% on ObjectNet.
Wyze has introduced a smart garage door controller. The gadget uses an AI camera and a QR code to monitor and control access to parking gates in the home.
The device is connected to an existing electromechanical door opener. The controller allows users to remotely control the door using the Wyze app over Wi-Fi.
The gadget uses artificial intelligence built into the camera to determine whether the door is open or closed. The algorithm tracks the location of a special QR code on the door inside the garage.
The smart controller is available for $39.99 excluding shipping.
The Mayflower autonomous trimaran embarked on a transatlantic voyage from Plymouth, England, to Washington, USA. The ship alone will have to travel more than 4,000 km.
On board are four computers with Intel processors, six Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier GPUs, two Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX cards, and a few custom chips. Trimaran is also equipped with cameras and sensors whose data is processed using machine learning software.
Computer vision algorithms and radar help the Mayflower identify and avoid obstacles such as shipping containers or cargo and fishing boats.
Previously, an autonomous schooner attempted to sail independently from Plymouth to Massachusetts, USA. However, due to a malfunction, the ship had to return to England before the end of the test.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Intel will develop a simulation environment for unmanned combat vehicles as part of the RACER-Sim project. The program is designed for two years.
In the first phase, developers will create platforms for modeling and tools to create maps that simulate the terrain. In the second phase, Intel will introduce new algorithms that will reduce financial costs and time without being dependent on robots.
Intel Labs will work with the Computer Vision Center in Barcelona and the University of Texas at Austin to build these simulation tools.
From April 24 to April 30, 2022, AI startups exceeded $250 million. Here are the most interesting trades.
