Hyderabad: You know how characters in sci-fi movies pull 3D maps through the air without any visible equipment? Yes, that’s it. It won’t be long before this technology is available to everyone.
Humane, a company founded by husband-and-wife Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, also former Apple employees, made headlines in the tech industry for this futuristic concept.
Chaudhri showed off a projector-based wearable AI assistant that he used to answer phone calls during his TED talk. This is the first time the company has demonstrated its patented technology. So you want to know what this device is?
It’s reportedly a wearable AI device that can answer calls, translate languages, display emails and messages, and basically keep an eye on everything you need. The best part is, you don’t need to own a smartphone or pair it with other devices. And it doesn’t have a touchscreen either, you just talk into it.
More like an artificial intelligence-powered personal assistant, the tiny device seems to have impressed tech enthusiasts, as many expect it to have the potential to replace all smartphones. While there’s no announcement yet as to when the device will be revealed, it’s expected to be in the near future.
AI godfather warns of tech’s dangers:
On Monday, several U.S. media outlets reported that Geoffrey Hinton, a cognitive psychologist and computer scientist often referred to as the “godfather of artificial intelligence,” quit his job at Google to speak out about the dangers of artificial intelligence. . The British-Canadian technologist pioneered the fundamentals of artificial intelligence systems and is a renowned Silicon Valley engineer.
Advances in the field “pose profound risks to society and humanity,” he told the New York Times. Hinton also said the race among tech giants to ride the AI wave is driving them to release new AI technologies at a dangerous pace, endangering jobs and spreading misinformation.
Microsoft designers competing with Canva:
Canva, an app widely used to create social media posts and presentations, is now facing stiff competition from Designer, a similar tool from Microsoft. Although this was announced in 2022, its public access with expanded features only became available last week.
Designer is powered by artificial intelligence and can take advantage of OpenAI’s text-to-image model. In short, you enter a prompt for what you want and the technology automatically creates it for you. Apart from that, it also offers a wide range of designs for each category with options for customization.
Tinder uses video selfies for verification:
Online dating app Tinder is tweaking its verification process to keep up with the use of artificial intelligence technology. Users will now have to snap a selfie video instead of just uploading a selfie photo to be verified on the platform. The move was made as artificial intelligence has made it easier to fake photos. Taking videos will help their own AI models verify profiles. Verified Tinder users will soon be able to choose whether to receive messages from other verified members and require their matches to go through the verification process before sending messages.
