In nature, animals communicate through various sounds, from dolphins' whistles to elephants' rumbles and birds' chirps. Each sound contains specific patterns and structures. These subtle differences in sound are difficult for humans to recognize, but the pattern recognition capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) provide new possibilities for decoding these 'wild calls.' Shane Gero, a whale biologist from Carleton University in Canada, has spent 20 years studying how whales communicate. He discovered that the same...

Autonomous truck company TuSimple has announced its completion of a transformation, officially rebranding as CreateAI and shifting its focus toward the generative AI field, including animation and game development. This rebranding signifies TuSimple's departure from the autonomous trucking business and its entry into a new arena. TuSimple's transformation comes at a time of ongoing turmoil for the company. Previously, the company exited the stock market in January 2024 and closed its U.S. autonomous trucking operations, transferring the remaining assets to China to fund the new business.

Today, in response to rumors that ByteDance might initiate a price war for large models, Douyin Vice President Li Liang issued a statement on social media, clearly stating that this is not a price war. Li Liang pointed out that the Doubao large model has reduced costs through technological innovation, with significant optimizations in algorithms, software engineering, and hardware solutions. He mentioned that the pricing of 0.3 yuan per 1,000 tokens not only has a considerable gross profit but also follows a transparent pricing strategy, which is not the traditional 'list price discount' model.

The Japanese government recently announced a plan to utilize artificial intelligence technology to combat online manga and animation piracy. According to data from the Tokyo Bureau of Cultural Affairs, there are currently at least 1,000 websites illegally offering free downloads of Japanese manga and animation. These sites are accused of causing losses of billions of dollars to Japan's cultural industry each year. To address this issue, the Japanese government has proposed a pilot program totaling 300 million yen (approximately 2 million USD). This program will implement an image and text detection system, leveraging artificial intelligence technology to surveil the internet.

On the imaginative edge of the internet, certain creatives can instantly ignite people's resonance. Recently, Xiaohongshu blogger "DIGIT.AI" redefined the concept of pain cars using AI technology, garnering nearly 30,000 likes and blurring the lines between virtual and reality. Pain cars, a subcultural concept originating from Japan, were originally an alternative expression of decorating car bodies with anime characters. Now, with the magic of AI, it is redefining visual creativity in an unprecedented manner. For example, AI-generated dynamic images of Pingu the Penguin perfectly blend with the streets of Shanghai.
