Amazon recently revealed that they are working on a program powered by artificial intelligence that would allow Alexa to mimic the voice of deceased loved ones so that users can continue to have "communication experiences" with those they've lost.

Blake Lemoine was placed on administrative leave by Google due to his claims of the company’s AI-driven language model, LaMDA, being “sentient.” The conversation has shifted.

Blake Lemoine, who has been an engineer at Google for seven years, claims that their A.I. “LaMDA” has gained sentience, even going on to say that it has effectively become a “person”.

Technology is transforming the world and making our lives smarter than ever before. AI and IoT play a crucial role in the same. There are around $10 billion IOT devices in the world, and $327.5 billion is the market size of IoT in 2021. These emerging technologies are widely used in many sectors, and the construction sector is not devoid of them.

As creatures emerge from the general biological stew, each develops some level of communication among conspecifics. We, people, can look at this as the combined but separate consciousness that we carry around. The connections come from interacting with each other and exchanging information. This collective is the noosphere humans inhabit. Every creature would have its own. All noospheres are built on biology, until now.

Conversational AI technology is becoming increasingly popular in the sales industry. AI-powered conversational interfaces are already being used by companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, as well as companies like Intercom, which provide a conversational AI solution to a vast amount of startups. One startup that caught our attention in terms of delivering added value, as well as a significant increase in ROI for its clients, is Rep, an AI-Powered Sales Associate that has been able to produce a 250% conversation rate uplift as well as a 17% revenue uplift for its clients in the e-commerce space. Rep’s AI uses behavioral analysis to detect when customers are about to abandon a website; then, they offer them contextual and personalized shopping assistance in real-time. We had a chance to talk to Yoav Oz, Rep’s Co-Founder & CEO, and ask him several questions.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about AI in the previous several years, it’s good at local jobs. Computer vision isn’t always about training computers to view the environment as we (humans) do. The goal is to allow computers to record, evaluate, and learn about the human environment.

At the opening of the Tesla Gigafactory in Texas, Elon Musk announced that he would be producing the human-like Optimus robot by 2023. Tesla's Optimus robot is said to be a humanoid, i.e. to resemble a human in shape, size, and movement. That is probably a more important invention than the car, said Elon Musk at the opening of the Gigafactory in Texas, where vehicles are to be built.

AI or Artificial Intelligence is one of the widely used words in day-to-day life. Tech enthusiasts are always bragging about AI taking over the modern world in terms of processing and power. With a record-breaking market, the AI Industry recorded breathtaking growth in 2021 which was calculated at around $327 Billion!

According to the Guardian's Nicola Davis, a new artificial intelligence software (AI) might assist to fill in the gaps in ancient Greek manuscripts and pinpoint when and where they are from. In a report published in Nature by the program's creators, it was revealed that their new artificial intelligence system could accurately recreate up to 62% to 72% of the content of lost or damaged manuscripts.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subsectors, such as machine learning, have the potential to revolutionize the way we do business. Certain firms are already using these powerful technologies to carry out complex operations instantly, eliminating the need for many hours of human input. By 2028, the AI industry's projected addressable market is predicted to grow from $93 billion in 2021 to $997 billion per year.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Christianity or the Bible aren't subjects that you usually find coexisting, but Marquis Boone and his company, Marquis Boone Enterprises are trying to change that one song at a time.

Researchers from Dartmouth can now use AI to analyze a person’s social media history to determine the likelihood of having a mental illness. All of our insightful, angry, funny and/or pointless social media comments are public information, easily obtained, and in the hands of artificial intelligence, can paint a sorely needed picture of our mental health. 3 researchers from Dartmouth College developed a new AI model that can aggregate, label, analyze, and find trends in our post history. The researchers believe their model can discern the emotion of a post and then use this to chart how our emotions fluctuate over time. The unique pattern that emerges can then be compared to the well-known patterns for bipolar, major depressive, and various anxiety disorders, providing a new tool for a world in desperate need of mental health solutions.

AI has been consistently providing an uplift to traditional industries. We see that in real estate, transportation, healthcare, and others. This is a strong indication that the implementation and integration of AI software are being adapted effectively. This can include easier onboarding processes, faster time-to-market integrations, and an understanding from traditional industries that an in-house CTO, with our without a tech team, is essential for the innovation and customer satisfaction of the clients and partners. Not to mention the productivity and competitive aspects.

Deep learning is very resource-intensive. Microsoft is now describing how this can be scaled globally to hundreds of thousands of GPUs. The software company Microsoft apparently operates a globally distributed service for scheduling machine learning tasks. The system used is called Singularity and is described in a current research paper from Microsoft, which lists 26 authors involved - including Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft's cloud division Azure. The primary goal is to save costs.

Artificial intelligence has created works of art. The creator wanted to bring about a rethinking of copyright law. Anyone who has artificial intelligence creates works of art automatically does not own any copyright. This was decided by a committee of the US Copyright Office after the applicant had appealed the first decision in 2019.

From quill and ink to AI-generated articles, writing has changed incredibly over the span of time. Even when I consider the time that I've been a writer, from 6th grade to today, it boggles the mind. I can recall a pencil, a big fat eraser, and a small stack of wide-ruled paper in my earliest memories. Those were my tools, and they suited me well.
