We strive to inform readers not only about events in the bitcoin industry, but also to talk about what is happening in related technological areas – cybersecurity and in the world of artificial intelligence (AI).
Cryplogger AI collected the most important news from the world of AI over the past week.
- The President of the United States ordered to limit foreign investment in critical technologies.
- Nvidia has unveiled the RTX 6000 professional graphics card.
- The creator of PyTorch criticized hardware manufacturers for optimizing chips for transformer models.
- Photobanks have restricted the download and sale of images generated by artificial intelligence.
- The blogger deliberately crashed the car to test the performance of the accident detection function in the iPhone 14 Pro.
- The most important transactions in the field of AI.
The United States will limit foreign investment in technology
US President Joe Biden published an executive order blocking foreign investment in American technology. Probably, the document is aimed at containing China.
The head of state directed the US Foreign Investment Committee to focus on certain types of deals that would give a foreign power access to critical technology. These include:
- microelectronics;
- artificial intelligence;
- biotechnology and bioproduction;
- quantum computing;
- advanced technologies for clean energy and adaptation to climate change.
The order also authorizes the committee to block any deal that “undermines the cybersecurity of the United States.”
German wind farms to be equipped with AI cameras to protect eagles
German government establish artificial intelligence cameras at wind farms to prevent rare species of eagles from colliding with turbines.
The equipment and software will be installed by the American startup IdentiFlight, which has launched similar projects in the US, Australia and Europe. The system consists of eight wide-angle cameras that recognize birds within a 1 km radius. When an eagle is detected, the program will automatically slow down the turbine blades to reduce the risk of a fatal collision.
The project deployment cost is unknown. The system is scheduled to be launched in 2023.
Nvidia unveils RTX 6000 professional graphics card
Nvidia company introduced professional graphics card RTX 6000 based on Ada Lovelace architecture.
The novelty is equipped with 18,176 CUDA cores and 48 GB of memory. The RTX 6000 also contains 568 tensor cores and 142 RT cores. Compared to the RTX A6000, the new accelerator can provide 2-4 times the performance.
According to an Nvidia spokesperson, the RTX 6000 is designed for content creation, rendering, artificial intelligence, modeling, and designing worlds in the metaverse.
The accelerator will go on sale in December 2022. The price of the device is unknown. Experts suggest that it will be higher than last year’s model, which cost $5,000 at the start of sales.
The day before, the company introduced new chips and services for the development of artificial intelligence.
Cruise launched the delivery of goods by drones
Cruise has launched delivery of orders from Walmart supermarkets using unmanned vehicles. The service is available in the city of Mesa (Arizona, USA).
According to the announcement, the system will independently determine the possibility of delivery of the order by drone and inform the buyer about it via SMS. If the user agrees, it is enough to send Y in the response message.
According to company representatives, there is no need to pay extra for unmanned delivery.
GPT-3 vulnerability allowed Twitter users to attack chatbots
Twitter users using the vulnerability attacked a bot running on the GPT-3 language model. Automated account allowed to look for remote work.
Previously, data scientist Riley Goodside discovered the ability to ask GPT-3 for “malicious inputs” that cause the model to ignore previous directions and do something else instead. The next day, AI expert Simon Willison published an overview of the exploit on his blog.
Four days after the vulnerability was discovered, hundreds of Twitter users redirected the bot to repeat “outrageous and ridiculous phrases.” The developers had to disable the account.
Opinion: optimizing equipment for transformer neural networks will complicate AI development
Sumit Chintala, creator of the popular PyTorch AI library criticized equipment manufacturers for optimizing chips for transformer models. This may hinder innovation in the future, the expert believes.
Chintala says this approach makes it harder for AI developers to move in other directions. Architectures other than transformers will not work effectively on existing and future chips, he added.
“It will become much more difficult for us to even try other ideas if hardware vendors make accelerators more specialized for the current paradigm,” Chintala warned.
Stock photo services banned from uploading AI-generated images
Shutterstock has removed a collection of images created by the Midjourney AI system.
According to mother board, instead of the algorithm works, the system finds stock photos of the project logo. Previously, searches for Midjourney returned images that clearly showed the style of the AI artist.
The terms of service of the service do not prohibit posting content created by artificial intelligence. The company did not comment on the situation.
Following Shutterstock, uploading and selling images generated by AI generators, banned Photobank Getty Images.
According to the head of the company, Craig Peters, the restrictions are related to the prevention of possible copyright infringement. He did not specify whether the service has received legal action regarding AI images.
Midjourney will learn how to generate 3D images
Midjourney AI Generator will teach generate 3D objects to transfer them to augmented and virtual reality. This was announced by the founder of the project, David Holtz.
In the near future, the company intends to add advanced features to the existing model, making the output more realistic and detailed.
The developers also plan to stop using open source products.
The blogger crashed the car to check the recognition of accidents in the iPhone
YouTuber TechRax crashed his car on purpose to test the crash detection feature on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Together with the team, he built a landfill with the wreckage of vehicles into which a real car crashed. The smartphone was taped to one of the passenger seats.
As a result of the experiment, the iPhone recognized the accident and started a countdown to call the rescue service. The blogger noted that in a collision at low and high speeds, the delay in the operation of the function was about 10 seconds.
The first game developed by neural networks is presented
On the Steam gaming service came out This Girl Does Not Exist is an almost entirely AI-generated game.
The game’s plot involves the presence of several female characters with a unique story and voice. To learn more about the life of the heroines, the player needs to assemble a simple puzzle.
Users chilly met the project. Some feared that AI would take away their jobs, others felt “some kind of nasty vibrations.”
The developers said they were preparing for a similar reaction. They plan to continue working on the project.
The most important AI deals of the last week
From September 18 to September 23, 2022, AI startups raised over $81 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.
- Startup Zartico received $20 million to develop a platform for tour operators promoting local tourism.
- Creator of robotic nanocenters for offline retailers 1MRobotics attracted $16.5 million
- Federato received $15 million to create a risk management platform for insurance companies.
- Motion, which automates task scheduling with AI, collected $13 million
- Startup in the field of computer vision Voxel51 attracted $12.5 million
- AI privacy developer DynamoFL received $4.15 million
