For more than a year and a half, leaders of Hollywood’s actors union have been negotiating with video game companies over a new contract that covers the performers who bring their titles to life.For more than a year and a half, leaders of Hollywood’s actors union have been negotiating with video game companies over a new contract that covers the performers who bring their titles to life.Business[#item_full_content]

Researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have demonstrated that under specific conditions, humans can treat robots as co-authors of the results of their actions. The condition that enables this phenomenon is that a robot behaves in a human-like, social manner. Engaging in gaze contact and participating in a common emotional experience, such as watching a movie, are the key.Researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have demonstrated that under specific conditions, humans can treat robots as co-authors of the results of their actions.

Earlier this year, an employee at a multinational corporation sent fraudsters $25 million. The instructions to transfer the money came—the employee thought—straight from the company’s CFO. In reality, the criminals had used an AI program to generate realistic videos of the CFO and several other colleagues in an elaborate scheme.Earlier this year, an employee at a multinational corporation sent fraudsters $25 million.

Social media enthusiasts tend to spice up their text posts with emojis, images, audio, or video to attract more attention. Simple as it is, this technique makes scientific sense: multimodal information is found to be more effective in conveying emotions, as different modalities interact and enhance one another.Social media enthusiasts tend to spice up their text posts with emojis, images, audio, or video to attract more attention.

A team of software engineers at the University of California, working with one colleague from Soochow University and another from LuxiTec, has developed a way to run AI language models without using matrix multiplication. The team has published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing their new approach and how well it has worked during testing.A team of software engineers at the University of California, working with one colleague from Soochow University and another from LuxiTec, has developed a way to run AI language models without using matrix multiplication.
