Meta's MyoSuite 2.0 Mimics Infant Movement Through Machine Learning

Recently, Figure founder and CEO Brett Adcock announced a new machine learning model called Helix, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of humanoid robots in household environments. This news comes just two weeks after Figure announced the end of its collaboration with OpenAI, demonstrating their strong commitment to the field of robotics technology. Helix is a 'general-purpose' visual-language-action (VLA) model capable of processing visual data.
Google X's 'moonshot factory' has recently announced the independent development of a new startup, Heritable Agriculture. This new company aims to improve the way crops grow using data and machine learning technologies. Heritable Agriculture stated in a press release that plants are efficient and astonishing systems: 'Plants are solar-powered, carbon-negative self-assembling machines that rely on sunlight and water to thrive.' However, agriculture puts immense pressure on the Earth and its resources.
Recently, researchers at Keele University developed a new AI tool capable of identifying fake news with an accuracy of up to 99%, providing crucial support in combating online misinformation. The research team includes Dr. Uchenna Anie from the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, Dr. Sangeeta Sangeeta, and Dr. Patricia Aso-Ayobode. The team employed various machine learning techniques to design a model that scans news content and assesses its credibility. The researchers used an 'ensemble voting' technique, which...
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever recently stated that artificial intelligence researchers must find new ways to scale machine intelligence to overcome current limitations. Sutskever delivered a talk at the 2024 Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference in Vancouver, Canada, where he suggested that the era of AI pre-training is nearing its end and predicted the emergence of superintelligent AI. Sutskever believes that through better hardware, software, and machine...
