A very Japanese virtual companion is being westernized

[ad_1] A company called Keyshare Innovation Group partnered with a New Zealand to essentially rebuild Gatebox’s AI assistant from the ground up. Now, instead of an anime character, Keyshare’s assistant can take the form of a more realistic woman in a sharp uniform, or a beefy, bald man in gym attire. Obviously, these potential models […]

Warner Bros. will use AI to help make decisions on movie releases

[ad_1] The system is for “low-value, repetitive tasks” that can waste executives’ time, Cinelytic said. You probably won’t see AI making many more of Hollywood’s decisions at this level. Pride and stigmas may prevent studios from trusting algorithms to approve pitches or scripts (never mind that humans frequently approve hot garbage). Like with many forms […]

Neon’s ‘artificial human’ avatars could not live up to the CES hype

[ad_1] According to Neon creator and STAR Labs boss Pranav Mistry: “Neons will integrate with our world and serve as new links to a better future, a world where ‘humans are humans’ and ‘machines are humane.’” That makes them sound like digital conversation partners, where interactions would approximate real humans. The mission seems to be […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Home Mini is finally landing in early 2020

[ad_1] Assuming Samsung doesn’t delay the device, that means you’ll finally be able to get your hands on a Bixby-powered speaker more than 18 months after Samsung first announced the Galaxy Home. We initially saw the device at the company’s Note 9 event in 2018. Minus a brief appearance at last year’s CES, we’ve heard […]

White House cautions against over-regulating AI in new guidelines

[ad_1] The guidelines instruct federal agencies to “conduct risk assessment and cost-benefit analyses prior to any regulatory action on AI, with a focus on establishing flexible frameworks rather than one-size-fits-all regulation.” Michael Kratsois, CTO of the United States, is expected to formally announce the principles at CES tomorrow. This isn’t the first time the Trump […]

Samsung sheds light on its ‘artificial human’ project

[ad_1] A series of videos unearthed by Reddit users and compiled by Good Content (below) appears to offer more detail. In at least one case, Samsung appears to have captured an actor’s likeness and voice to use those as the starting point for a Neon avatar — the appearances and expressions are realistic because they’re […]

US limits AI exports over fears it will fall into Chinese hands

[ad_1] The rule is the first one to be nailed down as part of a larger requirement for tighter exports on sensitive technology to countries with a less-than-friendly attitude toward the US. It’s meant to both prevent these nations from easily copying American technology (and thus negating economic advantages) or identifying security weaknesses. While this […]

D-Link brings AI-powered person detection to its home security cameras

[ad_1] D-Link is also introducing two new cameras. The outdoor model ($119.99) includes a spotlight and siren that can be triggered when motion is detected. While you’ll be able to preview the camera at CES, it won’t arrive until the third quarter of 2020. The indoor model ($99.99) should arrive in the second quarter of […]

Klipsch’s next true wireless earbuds will include AI and gesture controls

[ad_1] The Klipsch T10 True Wireless and T5 True Wireless ANC smart earphones both include AI, gesture controls and active noise cancellation. Though, the details about the AI are limited. All we know is that these have “a built-in operating system with embedded artificial intelligence.” The T10 are smaller than most true wireless earbuds, but […]

Google’s AI can detect breast cancer more accurately than experts

[ad_1] The company trained its AI using de-identified data from patients in both the US and the UK, and showed that it could reduce false positives by 5.7 percent and false negatives by 9.4 percent in the US. Interestingly, a smaller reduction of 1.2 percent and 2.7 percent respectively was seen in the UK, suggesting […]
