HPE will curtail business in the Russian Federation and Belarus
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) accepted the final decision to leave Russia and Belarus.
In February 2022, the company stopped the supply and sale of products in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. Now, HPE has said it is “unreasonable to continue operations” in these countries and has announced a systematic winding down of business.
Qualcomm intends to buy a stake in ARM
Qualcomm suggested create a consortium of strategic investors to buy out chipmaker ARM from SoftBank. Partners of the tech giant may be Intel and SK hynix.
According to the head of Qualcomm, Cristiano Amon, the company is ready to invest in a British chipmaker. The chipmakers’ alliance will allow ARM to remain independent and balance the industry’s interests, he added.
Earlier, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said the tech giant would join “any” consortium that emerges to take over the British chipmaker.
Google banned training deepfakes in Colab
Google banned train models to create deepfakes in the Colab cloud environment.
The company also limited the use of face generation distributions DeepFaceLab and FaceSwap. When running models, users are warned about the execution of “forbidden code” and a potential account ban.
However, for now, developers are allowed to continue running programs.
John Deere introduced a subscription to the autopilot for agricultural equipment
John Deere Engineering Company will start implement autopilot and AI algorithms in agricultural machinery by subscription. The manufacturer said that such a model would allow to stimulate revenue growth.
The company will develop unmanned equipment with software for harvesting management and data analysis. In the future, the manufacturer plans to mass equip seeding machines with systems that use satellite images and information about the state of the soil.
In the fall of 2022, John Deere will introduce the 8R tractor with autopilot capability, which will be sold separately.
Tesla to unveil humanoid robot in September 2022
Elon Musk announced the postponement of the Tesla AI Day 2022 conference to September 30. There, the billionaire promised to demonstrate a working prototype of the Optimus humanoid robot.
Android is based on the FSDC processor, the Dojo supercomputer and neural networks that recognize the world and navigate it. The height of the device is 173 cm, weight 57 kg, and the speed of movement is 8 km/h. The robot lifts objects up to 20 kg and performs “dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks.”
Tesla plans to start mass production of the Optimus in 2023.
Drone didn’t let a firetruck through San Francisco
Robot Taxi Cruise blocked fire truck in San Francisco, USA.
In April 2022, a special transport moving towards a call tried to bypass a garbage truck parked in the oncoming lane. However, a drone ahead blocked the path. As a result, the fire truck was only able to clear the traffic jam when the garbage truck had left.
According to local authorities, the incident slowed down the arrival of rescuers on the call, which led to human injuries and property damage. Cruise robot taxis stop “too often” in lanes, which could have a “negative impact” on fire department response time, they added.
American veterans have developed a system for detecting weapons on video
A group of former US Navy SEALs developed ZeroEyes AI system for gun detection in schools.
The algorithm can recognize semi-automatic and automatic firearms. The military proposed integrating the system into cameras installed in Michigan educational institutions.
The collected data will be transmitted to the hub and checked by specially selected experts around the clock. If anyone is confirmed to be in possession of a weapon, operators will notify the principal and security personnel of the potential threat and its location.
According to the military, the need to create an AI early warning system arose after shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, which killed 14 students and three teachers.
Mayflower broke for the third time in the Atlantic Ocean
Mayflower drone again interrupt transatlantic voyage due to mechanical failure. The trimaran will go to Nova Scotia (Canada) for repairs.
According to the developers, the ship had a problem with the generator’s starter battery charging circuit. The team had to switch to a backup navigation PC. IBM’s autonomous technologies work as usual, they added.
After the repairs, the Mayflower will put to sea again. How long it will take to fix the problem, is not reported.
AI taught to divide audio tracks into components
The Koala Sampler application has implemented artificial intelligence to automatically separate audio recordings into components.
The system independently divides the track into vocals, drums, bass and more. This allows users to speed up the process of creating their own samples.
The update is available on Android and iOS.
Researchers propose to recognize AI as an “inventor”
In Australia suggested recognize artificial intelligence as an “inventor”.
Researchers at the University of New South Wales said countries should legally allow AI algorithms to be credited to patent applications. Denying the recognition of machines as “inventors” could have long-term consequences for the economy and society, they say.
“Sponsors and businesses are less interested in conducting research using AI authors when the return on their investment is limited. Society may miss out on the development of useful and life-saving inventions.
The researchers supported the founder of Imagination Engines, Stephen Thaler, who tried to register two inventions on behalf of the DABUS neural network in several countries.
The most important AI deals of the last week
From May 29 to June 4, 2022, AI startups raised over $150 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.
