In today's rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence, a global transformation in the workplace is quietly unfolding. Recently, Jim Cavanaugh, CEO of global tech service giant WWT, issued a wake-up call to business leaders during an interview with CNBC: do not 'deceive' employees in the wave of AI. Cavanaugh candidly pointed out that employees are not fools; they are well aware that AI will have a significant impact on the way work is done. He emphasized that business leaders cannot turn a blind eye to reality, nor should they tell employees that 'it's fine, nothing will change.'

Meta has announced that it will continue with its plan to use millions of publicly available posts from UK Facebook and Instagram users to train its artificial intelligence technology. Although this practice is largely prohibited under EU privacy laws, Meta states that it has been in active communication with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), after previously pausing similar proposals in June. The pause was due to the ICO's warnings that tech companies must respect user privacy when developing generative AI.

Within the complex neural networks of the human brain, billions of neurons are continuously generating electrical activity, encoding our every thought, action, and sensation. The complexity of this neural symphony has long been a significant challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. However, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have recently made a major breakthrough by developing a novel artificial intelligence algorithm called DPAD (Decoupled Prioritized Dynamic Analysis), which promises to fundamentally change the way we interpret brain activity.

Recently, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in South Korea announced that they have successfully developed a technology named 'Dejaview'. This new technology utilizes real-time surveillance cameras (CCTV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to not only detect criminal activities but also predict the likelihood of crimes, marking a shift in the role of surveillance systems from mere monitoring to actively preventing crime. Image Source Note: Image generated by AI, image authorized by service provider Midjourney. The core of 'Dejaview' technology lies in analyzing...

Social media giant Meta is about to make significant adjustments to the way AI content is tagged on its platforms Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. Starting next week, the 'AI Information' label for content edited or modified by AI tools will be moved to the post menu and will no longer be displayed directly below the user's name. This change brings several key points: 1. Tagging Distinction: Content that is entirely generated by AI will still retain a prominent label, while labels for content that has been merely edited by AI will be hidden. 2. Sources of Transparency: Me

Recently, Meta announced that it will adjust the way it labels AI-edited content on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. This change means that the 'AI Information' label indicating whether content has been edited by AI tools will be moved from below the username to the post menu. Previously, users could easily see this label below the username, but now they will need to click the menu to find it. However, Meta also stated that content generated entirely by AI will still be labeled.

Facebook acknowledged in an investigation that it is collecting publicly available data from all adult users in Australia. The company does not provide an opt-out option for Australians as it does for EU citizens, as privacy laws do not require it to do so.

In the 37th America's Cup sailing race, the WindSightIQ program introduced television broadcasting for the first time, visualizing the wind field as augmented and virtual reality graphics through LiDAR, sensor fusion, and scientific computation technology. This helps viewers understand the key wind factors in sailing. While crew members still need to rely on intuition and training to plan their routes, commentators and viewers can now see wind direction patterns in real-time, comparing actual performance with the optimal path, thereby participating in the race at an unprecedented level. This innovation offers a brand new viewing experience, making wind, which is typically invisible, ...

Hugging Face recently released LightEval, a lightweight AI evaluation tool designed to assist enterprises and research institutions in more accurately assessing large language models. This tool emphasizes the importance of evaluation in the application of AI technologies, helping to ensure the accuracy, impartiality, and alignment of model outputs with business objectives. Addressing the limitations of traditional evaluation methods, LightEval offers customized evaluation solutions and integrates with other tools from Hugging Face, such as Datat.

Reflection 70B, an open-source AI model released by HyperWrite, claims to be a variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 and has shown outstanding performance in third-party tests, drawing attention. However, widespread skepticism arose after HyperWrite founder Matt Shumer announced on social media that the model is 'the world's strongest open-source model' and shared its 'reflection tuning' technology. However, an independent analysis by the Artificial Analysis organization...

Getty Images has announced a significant initiative by providing AI developers with a training dataset that includes 3750 high-quality photos across 15 categories, aimed at supporting the development of AI applications. These photos are now available on the Hugging Face platform, and users can access them for free after agreeing to the terms of service and providing their contact information. This move is intended to attract businesses and developers while promoting their paid licensing services. Getty Images claims to have over 572 million photos, with more than 200 million available for commercial use.

Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla's remarks have sparked heated debate, claiming that '100% of AI unicorns are built on OpenAI's API.' This statement has been met with opposition from netizens, who pointed out that multiple AI models, including Claude, Anthropic, Mistral, and Meta's Llama, do not entirely rely on OpenAI technology. In the discussion, some users drew an analogy to the electric vehicle market, emphasizing that different AI unicorns may have their own unique technologies.

Nvidia is facing an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, focusing on its dominant market position in the artificial intelligence sector and whether it has taken measures to stifle competition, including penalizing suppliers that do not use its AI chips. This news has led to a significant drop in Nvidia's stock price, resulting in a market value loss of $279 billion. Although the overall trend of stock prices remains an upward trajectory, the AI boom has driven high sales of its expensive chips. Nvidia's recently launched Blackwell series AI chips are facing delayed market release due to design flaws, intensifying competition with rivals.

In the field of game development, large models are becoming an indispensable 'think tank', showcasing comprehensive capabilities from AI character generation to scene construction.
