Bain x OpenAI

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

Few recent advances in technology have elicited as much interest as generative artificial intelligence. Media outlets around the world have provided awe-inspiring snapshots of what it can do for us. Our services alliance with OpenAI brings clarity to the expanding array of its potential business applications, combining OpenAI’s technology with our deep understanding of business strategy and social responsibility.

Generative AI uses sophisticated machine learning models to produce entirely original content such as images, text, and more. Beyond a compelling novelty, platforms such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Codex offer tangible benefits across industries and business functions—hyperefficient content creation, highly personalized marketing, more streamlined customer service operations, to name just a few. Advances in neural networks have pushed generative AI to an inflection point, giving early adopters a golden opportunity to make their mark. But while the technology has gained traction, many companies have faced challenges with integration.

We can help separate the hype from the real-world application, bringing experience across the value chain and a deep understanding of our clients’ industries. Equipped with deep expertise in AI technologies, our Advanced Analytics practice doesn’t only advise but also delivers solutions. We pinpoint the generative AI use cases that will create the most value, rapidly deploy a proof of concept, then implement the capabilities across your operating model, businesses processes, and data assets.

Ben Goertzel — Countering Objections to Mind Uploading

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, neuroscience

Ben Goertzel in response to some common objections covered in an article on io9 by George Dvorsky ‘You’ll Probably Never Upload Your Mind Into A Computer’: http://io9.com/you-ll-probably-never-upload-your-mind-into-a-computer-474941498

Objections are covered in order as they appear in the article:
1. Brain functions are not computable.
2. We’ll never solve the hard problem of consciousness.
3. We’ll never solve the binding problem.
4. Panpsychism is true.
5. Mind-body dualism is true.
6. It would be unethical to develop.
7. We can never be sure it works.
8. Uploaded minds would be vulnerable to hacking and abuse.

Anti-dust tech paves way for self-cleaning surfaces

Posted by in categories: solar power, space travel, sustainability

Dust is a common fact of life, and it’s more than just a daily nuisance—it can get into machinery and equipment, causing loss of efficiency or breakdowns.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin partnered with North Carolina-based company Smart Material Solutions Inc. to develop a new method to keep dust from sticking to surfaces. The result is the ability to make many types of materials dust resistant, from spacecraft to solar panels to household windows.

The research is published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

Resemble AI Creates Synthetic Audio Watermark to Tag Deepfake Speech

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI, security

Synthetic speech and voice cloning startup Resemble AI has introduced an “audio watermark” to tag AI-generated speech without compromising sound quality. The new PerTh Perceptual Threshold) Watermarker embeds the sonic signature of Resemble’s synthetic media engine into a recording to mark its AI origin regardless of future audio manipulation, yet subtle enough that no human can hear it.


Audio Watermarking

Visual watermarking hides one image within another, invisible without a computer scanner in the case of particularly high-security documents. The same principle applies to audio watermarks, except it’s a very soft sound that people won’t notice but encoded with information that a computer could decipher. The concept isn’t new, but Resemble has leveraged its audio AI to make PerTh more reliable without compromising the realism of its synthetic speech creation.

Scientists grow electrodes in brain, thanks to a simple viscous gel

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, evolution, neuroscience

Blurring lines between man and machine.

A breakthrough has made way for a new paradigm in bioelectronics. Earlier, it took the implantation of physical objects to initiate electronic processes in the body. Humans have incorporated technology to enhance the human experience and take charge of their evolution. They’ve also integrated devices within them that could alternately function as organs when biological tissues fail.

Scientists have now developed a viscous gel that will be enough in the future.

Future-ready: Australian army tests mind-controlled combat AI robodogs

Posted by in categories: military, robotics/AI

The brain signals successfully directed the robodogs toward a number of locations that the human controller picked “telepathically” by imagining them.

The Australian military is reportedly testing a unique artificial intelligence (AI) “brain robotic interface” to control “robodogs” synced with troopers’ minds.
