Tuning into the future of collaboration

MIT Technology Review

Intelligent audio and intuitive tools are transforming collaboration from connection to creativity, says Sam Sabet, chief technology officer at Shure, and Brendan Ittelson, chief ecosystem officer at Zoom. When work went remote, the sound of business changed. What began as a scramble to make home offices functional has evolved into a revolution in how people hear and are heard. From education to enterprises, companies across industries have reimagined what clear, reliable communication can mean in a hybrid world. For major audio and communications enterprises like Shure and Zoom, that transformation has been powered by artificial intelligence, new acoustic technologies, and a shared mission: making connection effortless. Necessity during the pandemic accelerated years of innovation in months. Audio and video just working is a baseline for collaboration, says chief ecosystem officer at Zoom, Brendan Ittelson. That expectation has shifted from connecting people to enhancing productivity and creativity across the entire ecosystem. Audio is a foundation for trust, understanding, and collaboration.



3 Questions: Using AI to help Olympic skaters land a quint

AIHub

Why apply AI to figure skating? Skaters can always keep pushing, higher, faster, stronger. OOFSkate is all about helping skaters figure out a way to rotate a little bit faster in their jumps or jump a little bit higher. The system helps skaters catch things that perhaps could pass an eye test, but that might allow them to target some high-value areas of opportunity. The artistic side of skating is much harder to evaluate than the technical elements because it's subjective.



Dating expert names the seemingly innocent 'five word phrase' that's a huge red flag at ANY relationship stage

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Dating expert names the seemingly innocent'five word phrase' that's a huge red flag at ANY relationship stage If you've ever been on the receiving end of the line, 'It just wasn't meant to be,' you may have chalked it up to bad timing or a relationship mismatch. But according to one of Australia's leading dating experts, those five innocent words can reveal far more about someone's mindset than you may have thought and are a sure sign of a relationship that was never built to last. Perth-based matchmaker Louanne Ward, who has worked in the industry for more than 30 years, said she has noticed a striking pattern among clients who remain single the longest, date extensively and struggle to sustain long-term partnerships. 'The clients who stayed single longest, dated the most people and struggled to make anything last, described their past relationships the same way,' she explained. It wasn't meant to be.'



Kyoto University center launches memorial website for 'genius' chimpanzee

The Japan Times

Kyoto University center launches memorial website for'genius' chimpanzee Ai, a chimpanzee known as a genius for her cognitive abilities, died on Jan. 9 at Kyoto University's Center for the Evolutionary Origins of Human Behavior. Ai was a research partner who taught me many things about the minds and existence of chimpanzees, as well as about humans, said Ikuma Adachi, 47, associate professor at the university, who worked with the chimpanzee for 18 years. Born in Africa, Ai arrived at the center in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, in 1977 at the age of 1. Adachi said she was curious and adapted well to a human-made environment. The Ai Project started in 1978 to investigate chimpanzees' thinking and language abilities. In 1985, a paper on Ai was published in the British scientific journal Nature. In 1989, she left the center using a key found nearby, drawing public attention.
