A technology developed at the Technion enables ordinary users to create realistic video clips intuitively, without the need for massive computing resources. Called Time-to-Move (TTM), it offers unprecedented control over the movement of objects and characters in AI-generated videos using nothing more than mouse movements, eliminating the need for complex and expensive infrastructure or training on millions of videos.A technology developed at the Technion enables ordinary users to create realistic video clips intuitively, without the need for massive computing resources.

It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business’s AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating outputs.It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business’s AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating outputs.Security[#item_full_content]
As governments, companies and public institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it in the real world, questions are becoming increasingly urgent: What does it mean to trust AI? And what does it take for that trust to be earned?As governments, companies and public institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it in the real world, questions are becoming increasingly urgent: What does it mean to trust AI?

A new study co-authored by USC Marshall’s Miao “Ben” Zhang is among the first to show that generative AI is delivering significant productivity gains outside the workplace—and that a growing digital divide threatens to leave older and lower-income Americans behind.A new study co-authored by USC Marshall’s Miao “Ben” Zhang is among the first to show that generative AI is delivering significant productivity gains outside the workplace—and that a growing digital divide threatens to leave older and lower-income Americans behind.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
Current flying objects face a trade-off: Drones with propellers, for instance, are very agile and able to hover; however, they use up a lot of energy. Airplanes, on the other hand, feature fixed wings that allow them to fly very efficiently. The downside: They can’t remain suspended in the air like a kestrel on the lookout for prey.Current flying objects face a trade-off: Drones with propellers, for instance, are very agile and able to hover; however, they use up a lot of energy.

The obvious problem with biometrics is that once someone has stolen your fingerprint or iris ID, you cannot simply reset those to block their access as you might a password. Now, research published in the International Journal of Computational Vision and Robotics offers a new approach to protecting biometric authentication data so that the risk associated with this kind of irreversible identity theft can be largely avoided and gives users an option to reset their fingerprints and other biometrics, as it were.The obvious problem with biometrics is that once someone has stolen your fingerprint or iris ID, you cannot simply reset those to block their access as you might a password.

The Australian eSafety Commissioner recently launched a new campaign to raise awareness of sexual extortion, or “sextortion.” Targeted primarily at men, the campaign features AI-generated videos of attractive women attempting to lure men into financial scams.The Australian eSafety Commissioner recently launched a new campaign to raise awareness of sexual extortion, or “sextortion.” Targeted primarily at men, the campaign features AI-generated videos of attractive women attempting to lure men into financial scams.Internet[#item_full_content]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used for various purposes, ranging from filmmaking and aerial photography to industrial inspection, precision farming and reaching obstructed areas during emergency response missions. While many existing drones can move swiftly in their surroundings and circumvent large obstacles, most still struggle in cluttered environments. In addition, they are often unable to execute maneuvers that would allow them to safely pass through small gaps or reach secluded areas.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used for various purposes, ranging from filmmaking and aerial photography to industrial inspection, precision farming and reaching obstructed areas during emergency response missions.
