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.
Cryplogger AI collected the most important news from the world of AI over the past week.
- The Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation proposed not to depersonalize the data of citizens.
- The Greek authorities fined Clearview AI 20 million euros.
- Scientists are using AI to study fresh images from the James Webb Space Telescope.
- A group of researchers has created a language model with 176 billion parameters.
- In Switzerland, they will build a network of underground tunnels for the autonomous delivery of goods around the country.
- The most important transactions in the field of AI.
Russia will process anonymized data
Ministry of Digital Development of Russia suggested do not depersonalize the personal data of citizens. The agency has submitted a new version of the bill to regulate the circulation of confidential information.
The document will oblige businesses to transfer customer data to the state without prior depersonalization. The consent of the citizens is not required.
After the depersonalization of the received information, the authorized body of the Ministry of Digital Development will provide access to these data to other departments and Russian developers of AI systems, the document says.
Greece fined Clearview AI for violating GDPR
Greek authorities fined developer of the face recognition system Clearview AI for 20 million euros.
The Data Protection Authority found that the startup violated the principles of legality and transparency of the European GDPR regulation.
The agency banned the company from collecting and processing personal data of people living in the country. The regulator also ordered Clearview AI to delete all available information about Greek citizens.
UK to test AI algorithms for bias
UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) study the presence of racial bias in AI systems for making hiring decisions.
According to the agency, discrimination caused by algorithms can lead to denial of employment, as well as the provision of loans or social security benefits.
The ICO is investigating the use of such systems and whether AI decisions affect the employment opportunities of ethnic minorities.
Scientists will use AI to study satellite images
Artificial intelligence involve to study the first full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
UC Santa Cruz researchers use the Morpheus AI algorithm, which is trained to classify astronomical objects like galaxies based on pixel analysis of raw data. In the future, the model will help find habitable planets outside the solar system, the scientists said.
First, engineers will use images from the James Webb to train Morpheus. According to them, the algorithm was trained on images from the Hubble telescope, and the JWST optics are unique.
Research: users do not distinguish between images created by a neural network and a person
73% of people called the image generated by the DALL-E 2 neural network is a picture created by a person. The study was conducted by the developers of online chat Tidio.
68% of respondents consider the surrealistic work of Zdzisław Beksiński to be man-made. Only 9% of those surveyed were able to “easily” distinguish the work of artists from AI generations, the report says.
According to Tidio, about 67% of respondents consider AI-generated images to be a form of art.
Participants named the advantages of generative AI technology the ease of conceptualization of ideas and sources of inspiration. However, some survey participants were concerned about the misuse of AI to create deepfakes, the authors noted.
Researchers presented a transformer neural network with 176 billion parameters
Team of 100,000 experts developed BLOOM language model with 176 billion parameters. The algorithm is open source.
The researchers trained the neural network on the Jean Zay supercomputer located in Paris. The model is capable of generating text in 13 software and 46 natural languages, including dialects.
According to the authors, BLOOM will allow scientists and developers to explore the risks and benefits of large language models. The algorithm is available free of charge to any person or institution that has agreed to responsible AI licensethey added.
Switzerland to build a network of underground tunnels for autonomous trucks
Swiss authorities agreed construction of a network of underground tunnels for autonomous delivery of goods. The implementation of the $30-35 billion Cargo Sous Terrain project will begin on August 1, 2022.
Drones will pick up and deliver packages to special ramps within the underground network. Robotic machines will be able to operate around the clock at a speed of 30 km/h. Also, engineers are integrating monorails into the tunnel roofs for express delivery of smaller cargoes.
The length of the network will be 500 km. The first section of 70 km with ten hubs will link Zurich with the Härkingen-Niederbipp logistics center in the west of the country.
In Japan involved AR glasses for remote shopping. Technology allows senior citizens to shop without leaving their homes.
A store employee scans the contents of the shelves using the RemoPick headset and selects the items marked by the customer in a special application on a smartphone or tablet. The technology remembers the positions of the products and shows the employee the location of the right ones.
The developers launched a pilot project in one of the Japanese supermarkets of the 7-Eleven chain in June 2022. In the first two weeks, 13 people over 60 used the service.
Lime teaches scooters to detect sidewalks
Company Lime taught electric scooters to warn users when they are riding on the sidewalk. In August 2022, the company will test the technology on 400 devices in San Francisco and Chicago (USA).
The company equipped electric scooters with cameras and a computer vision platform. When entering the sidewalk, the system notifies users of the violation with an audible signal or a forced speed reduction.
By the end of 2022, Lime plans to start testing the technology in six cities.
Scientists have created an AI tattoo that tracks blood pressure
American scientists developed AI tattoo to track blood pressure.
An extensible electronic sticker based on graphene sensors delivers a weak electric current to the skin and analyzes the body’s reaction. Propagation of the signal along the path of least resistance allows you to determine changes bioimpedancecorrelated with blood pressure dynamics.
The researchers also trained the device to measure the speed of pulse waves. They used this information, along with bioimpedance data, to train the AI to predict diastolic and systolic blood pressure points.
The scientists recruited seven volunteers to collect 18,667 records. Of these, 89% went to training the algorithm, and 11% to testing it.
According to scientists, the measurement accuracy of the device was 0.2 ± 4.5 mm Hg. Art. for diastolic pressure and 0.2±5.8 mm Hg. Art. for systolic, which is equivalent to the IEEE Class A standard for blood pressure monitoring devices.
The most important AI deals of the last week
From July 10 to July 16, 2022, AI startups raised over $536 million. Here are the most interesting transactions.
- May Mobility received $111 million to deploy self-driving vehicles in the US and Japan.
- Autonomous Flight Startup Merlin Labs attracted $105 million
- XPeng Robotics collected $100 million to prepare for the mass production of household robots.
- Creators of the Tecton MLOps platform attracted $100 million
- AI21Labs received $64 million to develop large and complex language models.
- You collected $25 million to create “premium features” for an AI search engine.
- Developers of a platform for optimizing Deci machine learning models attracted $25 million
- Syrup Tech received $6.3 million for software development for predictive inventory recommendations.
