Google has expanded its SynthID technology to watermark AI-generated text, embedding invisible markers to promote transparency and prevent misuse. Initially developed for images, SynthID now helps identify content from AI models like Gemini, addressing concerns about misinformation. Other platforms, such as Meta and TikTok, are also adopting similar solutions to track AI-generated content. While watermarks… Continue reading Google releases tech to watermark AI-generated text

The CMU-NVIDIA team won the DCASE 2024 Automated Audio Captioning (AAC) Challenge with a system that describes sounds in words using advanced AI technology. Their solution uses multiple audio encoders (like BEATs and ConvNeXt) to capture a wide range of sound features. This multi-encoder setup helps the system provide richer, more accurate descriptions of sounds.… Continue reading NVIDIA’s Multi-Agent AI Advances Sound-to-Text Innovations

Millions of patients in England with suspected broken bones could benefit from an AI scan that helps doctors spot fractures more accurately. The AI scan, costing just £1, has been approved by the NHS and can support doctors and radiologists in identifying fractures on X-rays, reducing the chance of missing or misdiagnosing injuries. Missing fractures… Continue reading NHS in England given go-ahead for AI scans to help detect bone fractures

Weather forecasting is challenging, especially beyond 10 days, because small changes in atmospheric conditions can lead to big, unpredictable shifts. Researchers at the University of Washington are exploring how deep learning can improve long-term weather forecasts. They tested two AI models—Google DeepMind’s GraphCast and Huawei Cloud’s Pangu-Weather—by predicting the extreme Pacific Northwest heatwave in June… Continue reading New era in forecasting: AI will improve extreme weather warnings

NVIDIA and Microsoft are teaming up to help AI startups, starting with healthcare and life sciences. Startups in their programs will get cloud credits, AI tools, and support to develop advanced health solutions. Companies like Artisight and Pangaea Data are already using this help to improve hospital care and find better ways to treat patients.… Continue reading NVIDIA and Microsoft Give AI Startups a Double Dose of Acceleration
