Media: the USA and the EU will discuss the areas of cooperation in the field of AI

In the first half of Фискальный риск 2022, the European Union and the United States will hold two meetings as part of the Council for Trade and Technologies.

According to Bloomberg, the parties will focus on discussing strategies for creating global standards for advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and quantum calculations. EU representatives argue that since China is making efforts in this area, the West needs to “catch up”.

Vice President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis suggested that both meetings will take place in May of this year: one will be in virtual mode, and the other in full-time.

Also, to determine the spheres of cooperation, the Council will consider the use of green technologies, export control and verification of foreign investment.

Korea will allocate $ 7.5 billion for the development of AI and K-Metavselnaya

The authorities of South Korea invest $ 7.5 billion in the creation of K-Metavselnaya and the development of artificial intelligence.

Of the allocated funds, 20% will go to the introduction of autonomous driving technologies, 65%-on the data transfer network and AI projects, 5.6%-for automation of home education and online records to the doctor, and another 9%-for the development of cloud services and K-Metavselnaya.

In February 2022, the country’s authorities invest $ 28.4 million in the development of a virtual world in the Korean style with cultural content, which will separately spend about $ 14 million.

Elon Musk: Tesla Bot will become the most important product of the company

During the quarterly reporting event, Ilon Musk said that Tesla Bot will become the most important product for the company in 2022.

According to him, over time, the creation of androids may have a “more significant” potential than the production of electric vehicles. They will help to change the economy and solve the problem of labor deficiency, he added.

The head of the company’s AI Department of Company Andrei Karpati said that in the future Tesla Bot will become the most powerful platform for development in this area. They are also actively looking for employees with experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

IBM will sell AI platform Watson Health

IBM will sell part of the Watson Health unit assets specializing in the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of healthcare.

The buyer is a private investment company Francisco Partners. According to Bloomberg, it will purchase vast and various medical data and products from the corporation, as well as software for working with images for more than $ 1 billion.

IBM said that the transaction is the obvious of the next step of the company, which will now focus on the development of a hybrid cloud based on the Platform and Strategy of AI.

Amazon will open several new stores without cash desks and sellers

Amazon will open stores without cash desks for customer service in several American suburbs.

In the coming months, the company will launch the first supermarket with technology based on AI JUST Walk OUT with an area of ​​about 570 kV. m in Mill Cryrix, Washington. Later, technical gigant plans to open a store in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

In the new retail-points, buyers will be able to purchase food, alcohol and essential items without interaction with the cashier or employees. Users need to choose goods, and AI identifies them and will write off the necessary amount from the account.

Apple taught Faceid to recognize faces in masks

Apple added to the beta version of iOS 15.4 Function of recognition of user persons in medical masks.

The updated function of biometric authentication will allow a person to unlock the iPhone by recognizing “unique features in the eye area”.

In the new version of the OS, users need to re -scan their face, enable the “use Face ID with a mask” function and look directly at your smartphone during unlocking. They can also activate the point “Add glasses”.

The company said that the security level and accuracy of the system for identifying a person with a partially hidden person will decrease. Also, AI will not be able to recognize the user in sunglasses.

AI-implant returned the vision of an 88-year-old woman

Scientists have developed an eye implant based on AI, which returned the almost blind woman vision.

Pixium Vision technology is based on implanting a microchip with a width of 2 mm with a width of a patient, as well as using special glasses and mounted on a belt of a small computer. The algorithm processes the image with the camera set on the frame and determines the purpose of focusing.

Then the glasses project the resulting picture in the form of an infrared ray through the eyes to the chip, which converts the information into an electrical signal interpreted by the brain as natural vision.

Scientists with the help of doctors from the ophthalmic clinic Murfields experienced the development of a 88-year-old resident of London with a diagnosed age-related degeneration of the yellow spot. The woman stated that now he could again enjoy her hobbies, including gardening, playing bowling and drawing watercolor.

In Russia, a generator of the poems “AI da Pushkin!””

Neobanka engineers Tinkoff launched a neurogenrator of poems on one line of the text “AI da Pushkin!””.

The developers trained the artificial intelligence algorithm on the works of Alexander Pushkin and more than 60 million filtered quatrains from the resource “Poems.RU”. They used VoiceKit technology to voice the generated text, and also created a special model to animize the image of the poet, which connects the speech with the expression on the speaker.

Anyone can use the service. We tried to generate a verse at Forklog AI at the request of “your words – water” and this is what we did.

Когда алгоритм фиксировал большое скопление птиц, активировался дрон и прогонял их шумом без нанесения вреда. However, due to local security rules, researchers needed to obtain permission for every take-off.

During the experiment, scientists also made several observations about the interaction of pigeons and drones. For example, large flocks often frightened just the take -off of the drone at a distance of 40-60 meters, while smaller groups ignored its approach to several meters. Also, some birds immediately returned to the place if the drone quickly flew away.
