Today, the Central Cyberspace Administration announced that the 2025 'Clear' series of special actions will further consolidate and enhance governance effectiveness. It will focus on prominent issues strongly reflected by the public, work on breaking through difficult bottlenecks, and strengthen source management and basic management. Efforts will also be made in governance innovation, with targeted and refined measures for each special operation; with respect to netizen rights, there will be a severe crackdown on various types of infringement and illegal behavior to create a clearer and more orderly online environment.

ViTPose is an open-source action estimation model that excels at recognizing human postures, as if it can understand the actions you are performing. The standout feature of this model is its simplicity and efficiency; it does not use complex network structures but directly employs a technique called Vision Transformer. The core of ViTPose uses a pure Vision Transformer, which acts like a powerful 'skeleton' to extract key features from images. Unlike other models, it does not require complexity.

In 2025, Suzhou will fully implement the 'Top Ten Actions for Intelligent Manufacturing in Suzhou', which includes AI innovation application actions aimed at promoting the deep integration of AI and the manufacturing industry. This initiative was emphasized at the Suzhou New Industrialization Promotion Conference held on January 3. The conference proposed that Suzhou is committed to building a modern industrial system with world-class competitiveness, fully striving to create a globally leading 'Intelligent Manufacturing City'. According to Suzhou's development plan, it is clear that by 2026, the city aims to establish four trillion-level industries and fifteen super-hundred-billion-level industries, driving growth.

Recently, Microsoft's research team launched an artificial intelligence technology known as the 'Large Action Model' (LAM), marking a new phase in the development of AI. Unlike traditional language models like GPT-4o, LAM can autonomously operate Windows applications, meaning AI can not only engage in conversation or provide suggestions but can actually perform tasks. The advantage of LAM lies in its ability to understand various user inputs, including text,

The GLM-PC base model CogAgent-9B under Zhipu AI has now been open-sourced to promote the development of the large model Agent ecosystem. CogAgent-9B is a specialized Agent task model trained based on GLM-4V-9B, capable of predicting the next GUI action based solely on a screenshot input, combining user-specified tasks with historical operations. This model's versatility makes it widely applicable to various GUI interaction scenarios such as personal computers, smartphones, and vehicle systems.

With Trump's election as president, one of his campaign promises is to initiate the largest immigration deportation action in U.S. history. On September 12, 2024, at an event in Tucson, Arizona, Trump stated that he would launch this action, particularly targeting immigrants with criminal records. He appointed hardliner Thomas Homan as 'Border Czar' and Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Policy, indicating that the new administration would take a radical stance on immigration issues.

A recent study indicates that generative AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), can be used to create a framework that accurately simulates human behavior across various scenarios. This finding provides a powerful new tool for social science research. The researchers initially recruited over 1,000 participants from diverse backgrounds in the United States and conducted in-depth interviews lasting up to two hours, collecting information about their life experiences, opinions, and values. Subsequently, they utilized these interview records along with a large language model to construct.

Recently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States launched an enforcement action called 'AI Compliance Action,' suing five artificial intelligence companies accused of false advertising and fraudulent conduct. The FTC stated that these companies are charged with lying about the capabilities of their software or using AI technology to engage in illegal activities. Note: The image is AI-generated, and the image licensing provider Midjourney has reached a settlement with two of the sued companies, while the other three opted to go to court.

Sketch once again surprises designers. With the launch of the Smart Animate feature, UI designers can finally easily inject lively animation effects into prototype designs, making interfaces more attractive and interactive. The core principle of Smart Animate is similar to the Magic Move feature in Keynote. It can automatically recognize layers with the same name across multiple artboards and create smooth transition animations between these layers. When designers adjust the size or position of a shape on different artboards...

Google DeepMind has released GameNGen, a fully neural network-driven game engine that revolutionizes traditional game image generation methods. GameNGen can generate game visuals in real-time based on player actions, achieving high-quality images that are nearly indistinguishable from reality, with smoothness close to the minimum frame rate perceptible to the human eye. This technology showcases the immense potential of AI in the game development field, which could change game development efficiency, provide personalized experiences, unlock infinite possibilities, and impact game hardware demands and creative approaches.

Lately, Musk shared a peculiar AI-generated Cybertruck image on social media, sparking considerable discussion among netizens. This image lacks any text description and simply shows a Cybertruck under neon lights on a rainy night, but it looks a bit odd: the body is short and wide, even the cargo bed is missing, and the license plate number is blurred.A \"Tesla\" logo is beside the image, but the letter spacing appears unnatural. Even more interestingly, there's a strange \"Me Toi\" below the lo

Apple has partnered with OpenAI to introduce optional ChatGPT features into the Apple ecosystem, but neither party is currently paying each other any fees. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple has not paid OpenAI, and OpenAI has not paid Apple either. The current arrangement relies on Apple providing exposure of OpenAI's ChatGPT tools to millions of users, which is a mutually beneficial setup.

Recently, Xiaomi's AI assistant 'Xiao Ai' has collaborated with ByteDance's Volcano Engine, utilizing the latter's large language model 'Doubao' to provide users with a more intelligent AI interaction experience.

Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg analyzed the latest developments in the collaboration between Apple and OpenAI in his blog today. He revealed that the two tech giants did not engage in direct financial transactions during the initial stages of their partnership but are exploring a new collaboration model—potentially achieving win-win outcomes through distribution commissions in the future.

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to understand the vocalizations and body language of animals. AI can be trained to recognize the emotions represented by animals' facial expressions, aiding in animal welfare. Artificial intelligence is being applied to analyze the sounds of various animals such as zebras, white rhinos, cats, and dogs. AI helps to gain insights into the origins of certain human traits and the ways different species communicate. It is crucial to be aware of the potential risks of AI in animal communication research, and to establish ethical standards.
