Microsoft has removed the waitlist for its latest tool, Microsoft Designer, and has made it available to the public for expanded preview. An AI-powered design tool, Microsoft Designer utilizes various AI models, including Open AI\u2019s DALLE-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023.

Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023. For his role in developing AI technology, especially artificial neural networks and deep learning models, Hinton is considered one of the \u201cGodfathers of AI\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has led many to raise concerns regarding AI safety and ethics, including Hinton. In an interview<\/a> with the BBC, he expressed how machine intelligence differs from human intelligence. \u201cI've come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have.\u201d<\/em>, said Hinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also spoke about the misuse of AI\u2019s potential. \u201cYou can imagine, for example, some bad actor decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same BBC interview, Hinton also urged the world to regulate AI development quickly. \"There's an enormous upside from this technology, but it's essential that the world invests heavily and urgently in AI safety and control,\"<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Geoffrey Hinton, One Of The Godfathers of AI, Quits Google And Issues A Warning For The Future","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"geoffrey-hinton-one-of-the-godfathers-of-ai-quits-google-and-issues-a-warning-for-the-future","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-08 23:38:33","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-08 13:38:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11555","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11377,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-30 21:20:24","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:20:24","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has removed the waitlist for its latest tool, Microsoft Designer, and has made it available to the public for expanded preview. An AI-powered design tool, Microsoft Designer utilizes various AI models, including Open AI\u2019s DALLE-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft originally announced its latest designer tool to the public in October 2022. But the company delayed the release of the product to improve its features further. According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Microsoft plans on adding more features, such as filling or erasing specific parts of an image, expanding or replacing something in the background, and more. \u201cWe will continue to evolve and add value to the Designer experience while maintaining our high security and privacy standards,\u201d<\/em> said<\/a> Bryan Rognier in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Microsoft Designer; An AI-Powered Tool Available For Public Preview With New Features","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-microsoft-designer-an-ai-powered-tool-available-for-public-preview-with-new-features","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11377","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11147,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-23 22:24:40","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-23 12:24:40","post_content":"\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023. For his role in developing AI technology, especially artificial neural networks and deep learning models, Hinton is considered one of the \u201cGodfathers of AI\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has led many to raise concerns regarding AI safety and ethics, including Hinton. In an interview<\/a> with the BBC, he expressed how machine intelligence differs from human intelligence. \u201cI've come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have.\u201d<\/em>, said Hinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also spoke about the misuse of AI\u2019s potential. \u201cYou can imagine, for example, some bad actor decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same BBC interview, Hinton also urged the world to regulate AI development quickly. \"There's an enormous upside from this technology, but it's essential that the world invests heavily and urgently in AI safety and control,\"<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Geoffrey Hinton, One Of The Godfathers of AI, Quits Google And Issues A Warning For The Future","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"geoffrey-hinton-one-of-the-godfathers-of-ai-quits-google-and-issues-a-warning-for-the-future","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-08 23:38:33","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-08 13:38:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11555","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11377,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-30 21:20:24","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:20:24","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has removed the waitlist for its latest tool, Microsoft Designer, and has made it available to the public for expanded preview. An AI-powered design tool, Microsoft Designer utilizes various AI models, including Open AI\u2019s DALLE-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft originally announced its latest designer tool to the public in October 2022. But the company delayed the release of the product to improve its features further. According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Microsoft plans on adding more features, such as filling or erasing specific parts of an image, expanding or replacing something in the background, and more. \u201cWe will continue to evolve and add value to the Designer experience while maintaining our high security and privacy standards,\u201d<\/em> said<\/a> Bryan Rognier in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Microsoft Designer; An AI-Powered Tool Available For Public Preview With New Features","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-microsoft-designer-an-ai-powered-tool-available-for-public-preview-with-new-features","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11377","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11147,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-23 22:24:40","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-23 12:24:40","post_content":"\n

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023. For his role in developing AI technology, especially artificial neural networks and deep learning models, Hinton is considered one of the \u201cGodfathers of AI\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has led many to raise concerns regarding AI safety and ethics, including Hinton. In an interview<\/a> with the BBC, he expressed how machine intelligence differs from human intelligence. \u201cI've come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have.\u201d<\/em>, said Hinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also spoke about the misuse of AI\u2019s potential. \u201cYou can imagine, for example, some bad actor decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same BBC interview, Hinton also urged the world to regulate AI development quickly. \"There's an enormous upside from this technology, but it's essential that the world invests heavily and urgently in AI safety and control,\"<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Geoffrey Hinton, One Of The Godfathers of AI, Quits Google And Issues A Warning For The Future","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"geoffrey-hinton-one-of-the-godfathers-of-ai-quits-google-and-issues-a-warning-for-the-future","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-08 23:38:33","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-08 13:38:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11555","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11377,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-30 21:20:24","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:20:24","post_content":"\n

Microsoft has removed the waitlist for its latest tool, Microsoft Designer, and has made it available to the public for expanded preview. An AI-powered design tool, Microsoft Designer utilizes various AI models, including Open AI\u2019s DALLE-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft originally announced its latest designer tool to the public in October 2022. But the company delayed the release of the product to improve its features further. According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Microsoft plans on adding more features, such as filling or erasing specific parts of an image, expanding or replacing something in the background, and more. \u201cWe will continue to evolve and add value to the Designer experience while maintaining our high security and privacy standards,\u201d<\/em> said<\/a> Bryan Rognier in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Microsoft Designer; An AI-Powered Tool Available For Public Preview With New Features","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-microsoft-designer-an-ai-powered-tool-available-for-public-preview-with-new-features","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11377","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11147,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-23 22:24:40","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-23 12:24:40","post_content":"\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

The company held a demo to demonstrate the prowess of its new AI. The model requires a 2D video of any object from different angles. It then uses its neural rendering technology to reconstruct the object in 3D with great detail, accurately capturing repetitive texture patterns, homogenous colours, and minute colour variations. Users can further modify the 3D reconstructions and implement them into other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking<\/a> about the potential use of this technology, Ming-Yu Liu, senior director of research at NVIDIA, said, \u201cThis tool will eventually enable developers to import detailed objects \u2014 whether small statues or massive buildings \u2014 into virtual environments for video games or industrial digital twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Microsoft plans on adding more features, such as filling or erasing specific parts of an image, expanding or replacing something in the background, and more. \u201cWe will continue to evolve and add value to the Designer experience while maintaining our high security and privacy standards,\u201d<\/em> said<\/a> Bryan Rognier in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Microsoft Designer; An AI-Powered Tool Available For Public Preview With New Features","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-microsoft-designer-an-ai-powered-tool-available-for-public-preview-with-new-features","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11377","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11147,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-23 22:24:40","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-23 12:24:40","post_content":"\n

Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

NVIDIA Corporation, the American Hardware and Software company, has recently announced the development of Neuralangelo, an AI tool that can turn 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA rose to prominence thanks primarily to its cutting-edge GPUs and motherboard chipset. But they have also been a major supplier of AI-powered technology. NVIDIA Research, the company\u2019s research and experimentation team, has developed this new AI model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company held a demo to demonstrate the prowess of its new AI. The model requires a 2D video of any object from different angles. It then uses its neural rendering technology to reconstruct the object in 3D with great detail, accurately capturing repetitive texture patterns, homogenous colours, and minute colour variations. Users can further modify the 3D reconstructions and implement them into other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking<\/a> about the potential use of this technology, Ming-Yu Liu, senior director of research at NVIDIA, said, \u201cThis tool will eventually enable developers to import detailed objects \u2014 whether small statues or massive buildings \u2014 into virtual environments for video games or industrial digital twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA intends to present Neuralangelo and several other projects at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) on June 18-22 in Vancouver.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Revolutionizing Digital Art; NVIDIA\u2019s Neuralangelo Can Reconstruct 3D Structures from 2D Videos","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"revolutionizing-digital-art-nvidias-neuralangelo-can-reconstruct-3d-structures-from-2d-videos","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-16 22:45:34","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-16 11:45:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11903","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11711,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-05-14 21:37:57","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-14 11:37:57","post_content":"\n

Tech giant Google has recently revealed several updated features and new technologies powered by Artificial Intelligence. Announced in the company\u2019s annual developer conference, Google I\/O, these latest instalments further indicate Google\u2019s embrace of generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the conference, Sundar Pichai, Google\u2019s CEO said<\/a>, \u201cSeven years into our journey as an A.I.-first company, we are at an exciting inflection point.

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

    NVIDIA Corporation, the American Hardware and Software company, has recently announced the development of Neuralangelo, an AI tool that can turn 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA rose to prominence thanks primarily to its cutting-edge GPUs and motherboard chipset. But they have also been a major supplier of AI-powered technology. NVIDIA Research, the company\u2019s research and experimentation team, has developed this new AI model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company held a demo to demonstrate the prowess of its new AI. The model requires a 2D video of any object from different angles. It then uses its neural rendering technology to reconstruct the object in 3D with great detail, accurately capturing repetitive texture patterns, homogenous colours, and minute colour variations. Users can further modify the 3D reconstructions and implement them into other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Speaking<\/a> about the potential use of this technology, Ming-Yu Liu, senior director of research at NVIDIA, said, \u201cThis tool will eventually enable developers to import detailed objects \u2014 whether small statues or massive buildings \u2014 into virtual environments for video games or industrial digital twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA Corporation, the American Hardware and Software company, has recently announced the development of Neuralangelo, an AI tool that can turn 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA rose to prominence thanks primarily to its cutting-edge GPUs and motherboard chipset. But they have also been a major supplier of AI-powered technology. NVIDIA Research, the company\u2019s research and experimentation team, has developed this new AI model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company held a demo to demonstrate the prowess of its new AI. The model requires a 2D video of any object from different angles. It then uses its neural rendering technology to reconstruct the object in 3D with great detail, accurately capturing repetitive texture patterns, homogenous colours, and minute colour variations. Users can further modify the 3D reconstructions and implement them into other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Speaking<\/a> about the potential use of this technology, Ming-Yu Liu, senior director of research at NVIDIA, said, \u201cThis tool will eventually enable developers to import detailed objects \u2014 whether small statues or massive buildings \u2014 into virtual environments for video games or industrial digital twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA Corporation, the American Hardware and Software company, has recently announced the development of Neuralangelo, an AI tool that can turn 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NVIDIA rose to prominence thanks primarily to its cutting-edge GPUs and motherboard chipset. But they have also been a major supplier of AI-powered technology. NVIDIA Research, the company\u2019s research and experimentation team, has developed this new AI model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company held a demo to demonstrate the prowess of its new AI. The model requires a 2D video of any object from different angles. It then uses its neural rendering technology to reconstruct the object in 3D with great detail, accurately capturing repetitive texture patterns, homogenous colours, and minute colour variations. Users can further modify the 3D reconstructions and implement them into other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Speaking<\/a> about the potential use of this technology, Ming-Yu Liu, senior director of research at NVIDIA, said, \u201cThis tool will eventually enable developers to import detailed objects \u2014 whether small statues or massive buildings \u2014 into virtual environments for video games or industrial digital twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial neural network and deep learning technology, has vacated his position at Google to freely speak about the future potential and dangers of Artificial Intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023.

    But the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has led many to raise concerns regarding AI safety and ethics, including Hinton.

    In a tweet<\/a> made on May 1, 2023, Hinton addressed his resignation by saying, \u201cI left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, Geoffrey Hinton, worked for Google Brain from 2013 to 2023. For his role in developing AI technology, especially artificial neural networks and deep learning models, Hinton is considered one of the \u201cGodfathers of AI\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has led many to raise concerns regarding AI safety and ethics, including Hinton. In an interview<\/a> with the BBC, he expressed how machine intelligence differs from human intelligence. \u201cI've come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have.\u201d<\/em>, said Hinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He also spoke about the misuse of AI\u2019s potential. \u201cYou can imagine, for example, some bad actor decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the same BBC interview, Hinton also urged the world to regulate AI development quickly. \"There's an enormous upside from this technology, but it's essential that the world invests heavily and urgently in AI safety and control,\"<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Geoffrey Hinton, One Of The Godfathers of AI, Quits Google And Issues A Warning For The Future","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"geoffrey-hinton-one-of-the-godfathers-of-ai-quits-google-and-issues-a-warning-for-the-future","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-08 23:38:33","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-08 13:38:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11555","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11377,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-30 21:20:24","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:20:24","post_content":"\n

    Microsoft has removed the waitlist for its latest tool, Microsoft Designer, and has made it available to the public for expanded preview. An AI-powered design tool, Microsoft Designer utilizes various AI models, including Open AI\u2019s DALLE-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Microsoft originally announced its latest designer tool to the public in October 2022. But the company delayed the release of the product to improve its features further. According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts. Additionally, the software can process a given phrase and produce relevant captions and hashtags for social media posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the future, Microsoft plans on adding more features, such as filling or erasing specific parts of an image, expanding or replacing something in the background, and more. \u201cWe will continue to evolve and add value to the Designer experience while maintaining our high security and privacy standards,\u201d<\/em> said<\/a> Bryan Rognier in the press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meet Microsoft Designer; An AI-Powered Tool Available For Public Preview With New Features","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meet-microsoft-designer-an-ai-powered-tool-available-for-public-preview-with-new-features","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-30 21:28:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-30 11:28:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11377","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11147,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2023-04-23 22:24:40","post_date_gmt":"2023-04-23 12:24:40","post_content":"\n

    Google\u2019s AI-driven approach has led to the company announcing an ambitious new development. This latest project, Google DeepMind, sees the company merging two of its leading AI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to a statement released by Google\u2019s CEO<\/a> Sundar Pichai, the company has introduced this new team in an effort to fast-forward Google\u2019s AI research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis group, called Google DeepMind, will bring together two leading research groups in the AI field: the Brain team from Google Research, and DeepMind\u201d,<\/em> said Sundar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google Brain was a research division under the Google AI umbrella, focusing on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The team was responsible for the development and launch of TensorFlow, an open-source software library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The other part of the merger, Deepmind Technologies, was a UK-based research laboratory. Google acquired the company in 2014 and it worked as an independent Alphabet research center until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why The Sudden Merger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This announcement comes in the wake of some major developments in AI. OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT and Amazon\u2019s Bedrock have stirred great excitement and intrigue in people. And Google wants to stamp its mark on this race by combining its two most accomplished AI research teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to Sundar Pichai, \u201cCombining all this talent into one focused team, backed by the computational resources of Google, will significantly accelerate our progress in AI.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Announces DeepMind; Accelerating Its Attempt At Leading The AI Race","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-announces-deepmind-accelerating-its-attempt-at-leading-the-ai-race","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-27 12:03:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-27 02:03:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=11147","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};
