Five ways AI is saving wildlife โ from counting chimps to locating whales
There's a strand of thinking, from sci-fi films to Stephen Hawking that suggests artificial intelligence (AI) could spell doom for humans. But conservationists are increasingly turning to AI as an innovative tech solution to tackle the biodiversity crisis and mitigate climate change. From camera trap and satellite images to audio recordings, the report notes: "AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings โ hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data." AI is helping to protect species as diverse as humpback whales, koalas and snow leopards, supporting the work of scientists, researchers and rangers in vital tasks, from anti-poaching patrols to monitoring species. With machine learning (ML) computer systems that use algorithms and models to learn, understand and adapt, AI is often able to do the job of hundreds of people, getting faster, cheaper and more effective results.
ALDI North Sydney launches new Pizzabot
Aldi Australia has launched a first-of-its-kind robotic pizza vending machine dubbed a'Pizzabot' at its Corner Store in North Sydney - with flavours Pepperoni and Italiana currently available from $8.99. The snazzy new robotic technology - which can cook 450 pizzas a day - is serving up restaurant-grade gourmet pizza in just two minutes. The machine also has a glass front, giving pizza-lovers a front row seat to the theatre of their pizza being cooked and packaged by the robotic machine. The mechanism was created in collaboration with Bondi start-up Placer Robotics. Pizzabot is the first pizza vending machine to be designed and manufactured in Australia, and will debut exclusively at Aldi Corner Store in North Sydney.
L3DAS22 Challenge: Learning 3D Audio Sources in a Real Office Environment
Guizzo, Eric, Marinoni, Christian, Pennese, Marco, Ren, Xinlei, Zheng, Xiguang, Zhang, Chen, Masiero, Bruno, Uncini, Aurelio, Comminiello, Danilo
The L3DAS22 Challenge is aimed at encouraging the development of machine learning strategies for 3D speech enhancement and 3D sound localization and detection in office-like environments. This challenge improves and extends the tasks of the L3DAS21 edition. We generated a new dataset, which maintains the same general characteristics of L3DAS21 datasets, but with an extended number of data points and adding constrains that improve the baseline model's efficiency and overcome the major difficulties encountered by the participants of the previous challenge. We updated the baseline model of Task 1, using the architecture that ranked first in the previous challenge edition. We wrote a new supporting API, improving its clarity and ease-of-use. In the end, we present and discuss the results submitted by all participants. L3DAS22 Challenge website: www.l3das.com/icassp2022.

Artificial intelligence challenges what it means to be creative
When British artist Harold Cohen met his first computer in 1968, he wondered if the machine might help solve a mystery that had long puzzled him: How can we look at a drawing, a few little scribbles, and see a face? Five years later, he devised a robotic artist called AARON to explore this idea. He equipped it with basic rules for painting and for how body parts are represented in portraiture -- and then set it loose making art. Not far behind was the composer David Cope, who coined the phrase "musical intelligence" to describe his experiments with artificial intelligenceโpowered composition. Cope once told me that as early as the 1960s, it seemed to him "perfectly logical to do creative things with algorithms" rather than to painstakingly draw by hand every word of a story, note of a musical composition or brush stroke of a painting.

According to reports, the global artificial intelligence market is on track to hit more than US$554 billion in total revenue by 2024. Countless companies stand to benefit from AI, but a handful of companies have business models focused specifically on automation. This article features the top 10 best AI software stocks that provide unique and advanced AI algorithms at fast speed and more reliable solutions at competitive rates.
Report: 29% of execs have observed AI bias in voice technologies
According to a new report by Speechmatics, more than a third of global industry experts reported that the COVID-19 pandemic affected their voice tech strategy, down from 53% in 2021. This shows that companies are finding ways around obstacles that seemed impassable less than two years ago. The last two years have exacerbated the adoption of emerging technologies, as companies have leveraged them to support their dispersed workforces. Speech recognition is one that's seen an uptick: over half of companies have successfully integrated voice tech into their business. However, more innovation is needed to help the technology reach its full potential.
Facial recognition taken to the next level in virtual reality
Faces can unlock smartphones, provide access to a secure building, and speed up passport control at airports, verifying identities for numerous purposes. An international team of researchers from Australia, New Zealand and India has taken facial recognition technology to the next level, using a person's expression to manipulate objects in a virtual reality setting without the use of a handheld controller or touchpad. In a world first study led by the University of Queensland, human computer interaction experts used neural processing techniques to capture a person's smile, frown and clenched jaw and used each expression to trigger specific actions in virtual reality environments. One of the researchers involved in the experiment, University of South Australia's Professor Mark Billinghurst, says the system has been designed to recognize different facial expressions via an EEG headset. "A smile was used to trigger the'move' command; a frown for the'stop' command and a clench for the'action' command, in place of a handheld controller performing these actions," says Prof Billinghurst.
