The most prolific musical artists manage to release one, maybe two, studio albums in a year. Rappers can sometimes put out three or four mixtapes during that same time. However, Auxuman plans to put out a new full-length album, featuring hot up-and-coming artists like Yona, Mony, Gemini, Hexe, and Zoya, every single month. How? The power of artificial intelligence of course.
Before this goes any further, donât worry: Youâre not hopelessly out of touch with todayâs pop music. Yona, Mony, Gemini, and the rest of the bunch arenât real musicians. Well, at least not in the sense that you could meet them and shake their hands. Theyâre A.I. personalities, each with their own characters and genres, which have been created by Auxuman, an artificial intelligence startup based in London.

L AS VEGAS â At a biohacker conference convened here the other day, panelists took to the stage, settled into their chairs, and launched into their slide decks. Not Anastasia Synn.
With Frank Sinatra crooning âIâve Got You Under My Skinâ over the loudspeakers, Synn pulled out a giant needle and twisted it deeper and deeper into her left forearm as the music played on. It was only after finishing her routine, capped off by loud applause from the crowd of biohackers, that Synn sat down for a fireside chat about her work as a âcyborg magician.â

In music, âportamentoâ is a term thatâs been used for hundreds of years, referring to the effect of gliding a note at one pitch into a note of a lower or higher pitch. But only instruments that can continuously vary in pitchâsuch as the human voice, string instruments, and trombonesâcan pull off the effect.
Now an MIT student has invented a novel algorithm that produces a portamento effect between any two audio signals in real-time. In experiments, the algorithm seamlessly merged various audio clips, such as a piano note gliding into a human voice, and one song blending into another. His paper describing the algorithm won the âbest student paperâ award at the recent International Conference on Digital Audio Effects.
The algorithm relies on âoptimal transport,â a geometry-based framework that determines the most efficient ways to move objectsâor data pointsâbetween multiple origin and destination configurations. Formulated in the 1700s, the framework has been applied to supply chains, fluid dynamics, image alignment, 3D modeling, computer graphics, and more.
REIKI translates as âUniversal Spirit of Lifeâ â the energy that is continuously flowing through and around every living thing.
It is a gentle energy healing modality that is usually done by placing the hands in a series of positions over or slightly above the body. Reiki promotes healing by activating the relaxation response and helping to accelerate the bodies natural ability to heal itself.

Artificial intelligence has been used to analyse high-resolution digital X-ray images of the world famous Ghent Altarpiece, as part of an investigative project led by UCL.
The finding is expected to improve our understanding of art masterpieces and provide new opportunities for art investigation, conservation and presentation.
Researchers from the National Gallery, Duke University and UCL worked with technical images acquired from the brothers Van Eyckâs Ghent Altarpiece, a large and complex 15th-century altarpiece in St Bavoâs Cathedral, Belgium.
We asked three centenarians what their most valuable life lessons were, and also their regrets.
The conversations that followed were remarkable. They talked about the importance of family, people, relationships and love. Their view on life, as an elderly citizen with a lot of experience is truly an inspiration and motivation. Enjoy the video!
