With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the difficulty of forging images and videos has decreased significantly, making the deepfake phenomenon increasingly severe. Identifying these false contents has become an urgent issue to address. Recently, a research team from Binghamton University conducted an in-depth discussion on this topic, using frequency domain analysis techniques to reveal the characteristics of AI-generated images, thus helping people identify false information. Image source note: The image is AI-generated, with permission from image licensing provider Midjourney. This research was conducted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Microsoft collaborates with the anti-revenge pornography organization StopNCII to provide victims with tools to erase deepfake pornographic images from search engines. By creating a digital fingerprint (hash value) of the images on the device, it helps to completely remove related synthetic nude images from platforms like Bing. This initiative aims to address the issue of deepfake pornography caused by the misuse of generative AI technology, tackling the challenges that cannot be effectively managed solely through user reports. However, Google has not yet partnered with StopNCII, and there is a lack of specific federal laws addressing such behavior in the United States.

An innovative project called ChatTTS-OpenVoice has garnered attention on the internet by merging ChatTTS with OpenVoice technology, capable of generating personalized and natural-sounding voices based on a 10-second reference audio uploaded by users.

The Tiantu Wanjing team has launched a universal video and audio tool called Sora Opera, which allows users to lift the 'mute mode' of videos. Users can add music and sound effects to the generated videos. However, a membership is required to access the Sora Opera plan, which provides video dubbing and audio effect features. The cloud version will initially be available to partners. The founder showcased several demonstration videos of Sora Opera, which supports dubbing for videos up to 60 minutes long. Sora Opera also offers several unique features.

Lu Weibing, the president of Xiaomi Group, stated at the MWC 2024 World Mobile Communications Conference that adding AI to phone names is meaningless. He believes that AI should be an omnipresent capability. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has undergone comprehensive upgrades in optics and algorithms, and its performance in portrait modeling is excellent with the support of AI.

Good research does not fade away; it only becomes more relevant over time. In the past week, OpenAI's video generation model Sora has continued to attract attention. The team has launched a new version, SiT, which further improves quality, speed, and flexibility. The latest paper, "Scalable Diffusion Models with Transformers", has been recognized at ICCV2023, leading the advancement of technology. SiT explores a broader design space through interpolation, bringing new possibilities to the field of image generation.

Microsoft has introduced the latest model of ChatGPT, GPT-4Turbo, to Bing Chat. GPT-4Turbo is an upgraded version of the existing GPT-4 model, containing information up to April 2023. Currently, GPT-4Turbo is only available to a selected group of random testers.

Microsoft plans to develop Bing Chat into a standalone chatbot by introducing an offline mode, similar to ChatGPT. The new mode generates responses faster without using search integration, comparable to OpenAI's AI models, but faces issues with information timeliness. Testing by Windows Latest indicates that Bing Chat may be based on different AI combinations, including GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4, and trained on the latest data. Microsoft is seeking user feedback on providing a faster Bing.

Microsoft plans to transfer part of the machine learning models used by Bing Search to Oracle's GPU superclusters to meet the high demand for its AI services. The multi-year agreement aims to help Microsoft cope with the growth of its AI services. The collaboration between Microsoft and Oracle signifies that Microsoft requires more computing resources to handle the expansion of its AI services.

Microsoft is conducting a poll to understand whether users prioritize improving the speed of Bing Chat or the efficiency of DALL-E 3. The integration of DALL-E 3 has led to a significant increase in usage of Bing Chat and Bing Image Creator, resulting in a decrease in generation speed. Microsoft is adding GPUs to meet user demand while also enhancing AI regulatory mechanisms. The voting will continue until Monday evening, at which point the next optimization direction will be confirmed. Previous promises by Microsoft for new Bing Chat features include third-party plugins and
