In the wave of technological innovation, Norwegian startup Sonair is sparking a revolution in perception technology. They cleverly introduce ultrasonic technology into the field of autonomous hardware 3D computer vision, challenging the long-standing dominance of LiDAR. Sonair's founder and CEO Knut Sandven has proposed an audacious idea: using ultrasonic technology to read sound waves for detecting people and objects to achieve 3D imaging. This technology not only boasts low energy consumption and minimal computational requirements but also promises to be superior to currently widely used solutions.

During the recently concluded MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), viewers were not only captivated by the star-studded performances but also by the stunning outfits. To allow fans to replicate these red carpet looks, Paramount partnered with tech company Shopsense AI to launch a new technology. This technology gives viewers the chance to snap photos of outfits they love during the live show and find similar clothing through the Shopsense system.

In 2023, the scale of China's artificial intelligence software market reached 37.74 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.2%.

In collaboration with the International Olympic Committee and the Senegal National Olympic Committee, Intel has developed an AI platform that can monitor and evaluate athletes' performances using only smartphone cameras, identifying future Olympic talent. This platform analyzes video clips using computer vision to generate performance statistics, providing evaluators with the basis for talent discovery. In its initial application in Senegal, the platform analyzed over 1,000 children in six villages and identified 40 significantly talented athletes. The International Olympic Committee plans to launch a global project in 2025, leveraging AI technology to discover hidden talents.
