A team of artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI announced the development of what they are describing as the largest text-to-speech model ever made. By largest, they mean having the most parameters and using the largest training dataset. They have published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing how the model was developed and trained.A team of artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI announced the development of what they are describing as the largest text-to-speech model ever made.

If an ingredient is out of reach on a high pantry shelf, it wouldn’t take you more than a few seconds to find a step stool, or maybe just a chair, to stand on to bring the ingredient within your reach. This simple solution is the outcome of a complex problem-solving approach researchers call creative tool use.If an ingredient is out of reach on a high pantry shelf, it wouldn’t take you more than a few seconds to find a step stool, or maybe just a chair, to stand on to bring the ingredient within your reach.

In December, the European Union passed the AI Act, the first major law aiming to regulate technologies that fall under the umbrella of artificial intelligence. The legislation might have arrived sooner, but the sudden success of ChatGPT in late 2022 demanded the act be updated.In December, the European Union passed the AI Act, the first major law aiming to regulate technologies that fall under the umbrella of artificial intelligence.

How much cooler would basketball footage be if software could automatically shine a spotlight on key players? How much easier would it be to understand plays if arrows could indicate movement before the players actually move? How much improvement would be possible if one could see how distance from a basket affects shot trajectory?How much cooler would basketball footage be if software could automatically shine a spotlight on key players?

Machine learning researchers at Apple have developed an application that can accept a simple drawing and a text description to animate the drawing in desired ways. Tiffany Tseng, Ruijia Cheng and Jeffrey Nichols have published a paper describing the new app, called Keyframer, on the arXiv preprint server.Machine learning researchers at Apple have developed an application that can accept a simple drawing and a text description to animate the drawing in desired ways.

Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that helps computer systems predict future data patterns and optimize how information gets stored. They found these predictions could provide up to a 40% speed boost on real-world data sets.Researchers have developed a new machine-learning technique that helps computer systems predict future data patterns and optimize how information gets stored.

If we train artificial intelligence (AI) systems on biased data, they can, in turn, make biased judgments that affect hiring decisions, loan applications, and welfare benefits—to name just a few real-world implications. With this fast-developing technology potentially causing life-changing consequences, how can we make sure that humans train AI systems on data that reflects sound ethical principles?If we train artificial intelligence (AI) systems on biased data, they can, in turn, make biased judgments that affect hiring decisions, loan applications, and welfare benefits—to name just a few real-world implications.
