Many privacy advocates have time and again raised questions about surveillance cameras and increasing usage of surveillance technology. They argue that the technology could be exploited for discriminatory targeting and it is also a direct attack on the privacy of citizens. To balance things out, a hacker and designer named Kate Rose has introduced a […]
After upgrading its consumer processor lineup just recently, Intel again came on the stage and announced new Xeon Scalable CPUs, codenamed Cooper Lake. Intel says its next-gen Xeon Scalable CPUs have higher core count and will arrive with up to 56 cores per socket. In comparison to the older Xeon 8200 series, the new server […]
Earlier this month, Elon Musk revealed the ambitious plan to connect the human brain with a computer using artificial intelligence. His tech startup, Neuralink, plans to implant electrodes into the human brain to enhance its capabilities. Elon Musk’s Neuralink isn’t the only company working towards merging the human brain with AI. Facebook is also working […]
Apart from performing heavy tasks, AI has been a source of entertainment for many; the various AI-based apps are fun to use after all. Joining the league, we have a new website which converts images into a classical artform, giving us the Shakespearean feels. AI Portraits Ars is the website (developed by researchers at the […]
Microsoft has partnered with Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI and invested $1 billion in the venture to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with advanced AI capabilities. Both Microsoft and OpenAI have joined hands to build a hardware and software platform, which will involve Microsoft’s Azure to develop Azure AI supercomputing technologies. Additionally, Microsoft will be OpenAI’s […]
The world is baffled over deepfakes, that is, AI-manipulated photos/videos. A recent app called DeepNudes, which used AI to ‘undress women’, stirred huge controversy and was soon taken down by the creator. We’re entering a new era where DeepFakes will be common and if means are not invented to control them, it will be a […]
If we believe AI can take over humans, we get to see demos of it from time to time. And sometimes, AI just proves that it’s getting smarter and faster as we speak. We heard many instances of AI solving Rubik’s in the blink of an eye. The latest entry to the party can do […]
Microsoft has open-sourced TensorWatch, a debugging and visualization tool aimed at reducing the complexities of artificial intelligence projects. It focuses more on one crucial part of the development process in particular and that is debugging. Getting rid of errors is one of the most time-consuming jobs in software projects. Especially when it comes to AI […]
Over the years, we have seen how AI has advanced and it still is, to make things better for us than ever. Inching towards that very aim, Facebook’s AI Research team, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), has developed an AI that can beat Pro Poker Players. Winning Poker Against Human Players As announced […]
AI has slowly become a crucial part of our lives and the segment is continuously booming. However, the process of machine learning is not as environmentally friendly as it was thought to be. According to media reports, researchers at the University of Massachusetts have found that the process of training various AI models can produce […]
Deepfakes have gained a lot of negative attention recently. Be it the hugely criticized DeepNude AI app which removes clothing from pictures of women or the FakeApp that swaps the faces of celebrities with porn stars in videos. But the AI technology behind deepfakes and deepnudes isn’t entirely evil. Deep-learning algorithms are excellent at detecting […]
It’s a commonly said thing that what goes on the internet stays forever. Last week, a bizarre AI app called DeepNude was untethered by Vice, which could easily remove clothes from images of women. Later, we reported that there were numerous fake copies on the DeepNude app available on the internet. There are various websites […]
Every year, the job search site Indeed publishes a report based on trends and data analysis of the top AI jobs and highest salaries in the tech industry. As per the 2019 report, there is an overall slowdown in growth — if you consider 29% growth a slowdown. The number of artificial intelligence job listings […]
Over the last couple of years, a new cyber threat has sprouted in the form of deepfakes, and more recently, deepnudes. The name deepfake is derived from “fake” and “deep learning” on which the tech is based. These are computer-generated imagery where one can easily replace someone’s face in a video or make them unclothed […]
Update 2: Also, we have noticed that people are reaching out to search engines to find the download links of the supposed app. However, all of these links seem to be fake or malicious as the actual DeepNude app has been taken down. Update 1: The website of the DeepNude app has gone offline as […]
We’re living in a world where deepfakes and manipulated images have become a means to spread fake information. Adobe wants to make the world a safer place and has therefore showcased a prototype AI tool that is capable of detecting facial manipulations in doctored images edited with Photoshop software. Adobe has collaborated with researchers from […]
AI is advancing at a rapid rate and with such a speed the industry is demanding more innovation to speed up the computing process while keeping power consumption to a minimum. Conventional semiconductors and AI chips aren’t ideal for performing tasks that require high computational power as the increasing energy consumption makes it almost implausible. […]
Do you remember your school days when you were tempted to cheat in the exams just to score a few extra marks? Well, that thrill might be a case of yesteryear! A survey of about 70,000 high school students in the United States found that 95% of students cheated in some manner — studies like […]
The Internet, newspapers, television, etc. are showing so much excitement that there is no day when we do not see or hear the word “artificial intelligence (AI)“. Under such circumstances, companies have announced products and services that claim artificial intelligence (AI) one after another, and if they can not take a delay, they introduce artificial […]
Remember, Deepfakes? Until now, you might have seen AI creating fake videos of Barack Obama or some other celebrity. But mostly it requires lots of previous footage related to that person to be fed into the AI. Now, the researchers at Samsung’s AI Center in Moscow and Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology are working […]
Nvidia has developed a new algorithm similar to deepfakes which can face-swap your pet’s cute face into different animal species or altogether a monstrous version of themselves. The PetSwap project runs on the Few-shot UNsupervised Image-to-image Translation (FUNIT) algorithm. It is an image translation AI algorithm that uses a framework built on generative adversarial networks […]
