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.

  • Yandex intends to leave Russia.
  • Amazon has introduced new features and products with artificial intelligence.
  • Tesla autopilot was taught to recognize the driver’s hands on the steering wheel.
  • South Korea has launched an unmanned bus on public roads.
  • Italian scientists have built one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.
  • The neural network was taught to read lips.
  • The most important AI deals of the last week.

Media: Yandex plans to leave the Russian Federation

The Yandex company intends to sell the Russian business and cut ties with the country.

According to The New York Timesthe reason was Western sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation after its invasion of Ukraine.

According to the publication, Yandex plans to sell new products to markets outside of Russia, as it needs Western technology and specialists to fully unlock its potential.

However, the company must first involve its shareholders in the restructuring plan and obtain the approval of the Russian authorities.

Amazon introduced a number of AI services

Amazon unveiled new AI features and products at AWS re:Invent 2022. Among them:

  • instances Inf2 based on updated Inferentia2 chips to run deep learning models with up to 175 billion parameters;
  • cloud application AWS Supply Chain. The service provides transparency of the supply chain and provides useful information to minimize risks and costs;
  • function “machine learning predictions” using natural language queries through the QuickSight Q business intelligence service.

Tencent and Nio agree to jointly produce robotic vehicles

Tencent and electric vehicle maker Nio concluded partnership to develop autonomous driving and high-resolution mapping technologies.

According to the announcement, the startup will gain access to the tech giant’s cloud infrastructure to store data and train robocar algorithms.

Tencent was already Nio’s biggest investor, according to CNBC. The partnership will also allow the tech giant to benefit from the government’s “new energy vehicle” program.

Autopilot Tesla learned to detect hands on the steering wheel

Tesla taught Full Self-Driving system to detect attempts to circumvent the requirement to keep your hands on the wheel.

Previously, the software could not control this process. The technology only detected the torque applied to the steering wheel, which allowed drivers to cheat the system: they used oranges, water bottles, and special weights.

FSD v10.69.3.1 has learned to identify some ways to bypass the requirement and their list will be gradually expanded. Now, when it detects the absence of hands on the steering wheel, the system will forcibly turn off the autopilot and smoothly stop the electric car if the driver refuses to take control.

No information is available on how the requirement is being tracked.

Startup Motional staff laid off

Developer of motional unmanned driving technologies fired dozens of employees.

The manufacturer did not name the number of employees who fell under the reduction. The company is known to provide them with severance pay and employment assistance.

According to a Motional spokesperson, the reallocation of resources is necessary for “long-term commercial success.” However, the hiring of critical employees will continue, he added.

Self-driving bus launched in South Korea

In Seoul (South Korea) launched unmanned bus on public roads.

The vehicle has “rounded corners” and large windows. The bus is equipped with cameras and radar for navigation and uses 42 Dot’s autonomous driving technology.

The drone cruises a 3.4-kilometer highway in downtown Seoul with a safety operator at the wheel watching. Those who wish can ride the bus for free by booking a seat through a special application.

Italian researchers have launched one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe

in Italy launched Leonardo supercomputer for solving high-intensity computing tasks like data processing, AI and machine learning.

The system consists of two sections – general purpose and with accelerators. After completion of construction, the first part will unite 1536 nodes. Each will include two Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors with 56 cores.

The second section will combine 3456 nodes containing one Intel Xeon 8358 chip with 32 cores.

The performance of the Leonardo is 174 petaflops. It is expected that the machine will be fully launched in the first half of 2023, and its peak performance will be 250 petaflops.

Today, the system ranks fourth in the TOP500 ranking of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. In Europe, Leonardo is second only to LUMI.

Scientists have created microrobots to deliver drugs inside the human body

Scholars from EPFL and Imperial College London created multifunctional soft robots for drug delivery inside the human body.

Devices from elastomers in the form of catheters, they are able to remotely navigate to a destination and semi-autonomously find the best path. The fibers may include optical guides, electrodes and microchannels for drug delivery, imaging and stimulation, as well as other tools used in robotics and medicine.

The system is “surprisingly” easy to manufacture and has many uses outside of the human body, the scientists say. These fibers can be embedded in mattresses to monitor sleep quality, and can also be used to create soft prostheses or industrial robots.

Artificial intelligence taught to read lips

Researchers at Imperial College London taught AI to read lips. The algorithm is able to recognize what was said in several languages.

The deep learning model is similar to the previously presented visual speech recognition neural networks. However, the researchers optimized some hyperparameters, expanded the training dataset, and used additional loss functions.

According to them, the presented system turned out to be more effective than most analogues.

The scientists said that only careful design was required to improve the performance of the model, rather than increasing its size or expanding the training dataset.

Scientists have created a generator of dance movements

Stanford University researchers developed AI generator of dance moves based on music.

The EDGE algorithm analyzes the track and creates a video with the agent moving to the rhythm of the composition. Users can use all or only some parts of the digital bot’s body, as well as start the dance from a specific position.

The system also allows you to limit the agent to some space.

The most important AI deals of the last week

From November 27 to December 3, 2022, AI startups raised over $317.2 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.

  • Warehouse robot manufacturer Locus Robotics attracted $117 million
  • deepgram received $47 million to develop voice recognition technology for enterprises.
  • Verdant Robotics collected $46.5 million to expand the fleet of agricultural robots.
  • Manufacturer of smart medical microdevices for drug delivery Bionaut Labs received $43.2 million
  • common ground attracted $25 million to develop technology for creating 3D avatars using a smartphone.
  • Shield collected $20 million for the development of a system to prevent data leaks.
  • Creators of Deepomatic visual automation platform got $10.5 million
  • Cyvers has raised $8 million to research and develop turnkey cybersecurity solutions.
