The AI Apocalypse Isn't Robots, It's Power-Grabbing One-Percenters, Says Tech Guru

Worries about AI overtaking humanity make for juicy Sci-Fi plots, but the real threat, Yann LeCun, Meta's head AI brain, insists, is power-hoarding bigwigs who want to keep AI riches to themselves.

In a weekend post, Yann pointed fingers at AI heavyweights accused of fear-mongering and corporate lobbying to retain control over AI.

If successful, he believes it would result in a catastrophe where a few AI overlords control the market.

Unlike the fears of humanoid robots, LeCun insists the real danger lies in shifting the focus away from more pressing concerns like worker exploitation and data theft.

Stability AI Unveils Revolutionary Image Enhancements and Robust API Offerings

Stability AI, a GenAI front-runner, is charged up to roll out its snazzy text-to-image innovations and give storytellers fresh ways to play with pictures. Sky Replacer, one of the cool new tools, let you swap a lusterless sky with jaw-dropping alternatives.

Realtors, designers or just anyone can pimp out their outdoor images, no sweat. Plus, for the tech-wizards, they're introducing Stable 3D and Stable FineTuning. Now creating textured 3D objects or refining images becomes a walk in the park. Say goodbye to hours of grinding and hello to a breeze of creativity.

Eye-See Robots: The Canine Companion for the Visually Impaired

A team of engineers at Binghamton University have created a robotic guide dog capable of leading the visually impaired through directional tugs on a leash.

This robotic innovation aims to create an affordable, efficient, and accessible alternative to guide dogs, which can be costly to train and maintain.

Artists Lose AI Copyright Suit, but the War is Far from Over

Artists faced a setback in their copyright battle against AI-generated image services Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt, as the judge deemed ruling on violation of copyright laws implausible.

However, they were permitted to amend their claims. Artists must now prove 'direct reference' in AI images to strengthen future copyright suits.

You Speak, AI Listens: A Revolutionary Way to Diagnose Type 2 Diabetes

Researchers have successfully trained an AI system to detect symptoms of Type 2 diabetes from human voice in under 10 seconds!

Technology once again has paved a new pathway in the healthcare industry, as Canadian researchers at Klick Labs have developed a unique AI model that can recognize 14 vocal variations indicative of diabetes.

This could mean saying goodbye to exhaustive blood tests and stepping into a new era of voice-powered healthcare.
