Artificial intelligence makes enzyme engineering easy

#artificialintelligence

We revealed that the redox cofactor preference of malic enzymes can be strikingly converted by applying phylogenetic analysis to machine learning, without experimental screening. This method can predict mutation positions and candidate amino acids that affect substrate specificity, which is challenging to infer solely from the crystal structures. Machine learning uses the structurally homologous but functionally distinct enzymes' amino acid sequences as input datasets to efficiently navigate toward the target function, and potentially provide new fundamental insights into enzymeโ€“substrate specificity. Osaka, Japan โ€“ You can't expect a pharmaceutical scientist to switch labs to the facilities available in a television studio and expect the same research output. Enzymes behave exactly the same.


The Future of Robotics in the Smart City: A Preview for 2023

#artificialintelligence

TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2022 /CNW/ - Robots, the word derives from a 1920's play but represents a variety of automated forms today. Approximately 2.25 million robotic types worldwide, and over 200 million are predicted by 2030. The future of robotics is assured as we become more familiar with and dependent on them. Robots were first created in Japan, bringing what was science fiction to reality. Singapore, South Korea, China, and Germany are the highest producers of robotics.

"Globally, there was an installed base of about 8.4 billion IoT end point devices at the end of 2021, with deep-learning processors in the early stage of penetrating this rapidly growing market," stated Lian Jye Su, ABI Research's research director for AI. "The combination of Ambarella's CVflow AI processor families with eInfochips' significant perception design expertise in a wide variety of IoT applications will help drive the rapid AI growth in this market. This growth in AI IoT includes computer vision designs requiring the expertise that eInfochips can provide for imaging, hardware and software development.


Google expands AI-powered flood detection and wildfire systems

Engadget

For the last several years, Google has been using artificial intelligence to develop a system that can predict floods. It has also been working on wildfire tracking tools. Ahead of the COP27 climate conference taking place next week, the company announced that it is expanding those tools. First, Google says it will offer flood forecasts for river basins in another 18 countries. Those are Brazil, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Angola, South Sudan, Namibia, Liberia and South Africa. The company previously offered flood warnings to users in India and Bangaldesh with alerts on Android devices and phones that have the Google Search app installed.

Digital assets marketplace Creative Fabrica launches generative AI tool

#artificialintelligence

Creative Fabrica, a marketplace for digital files like print-on-demand assets, fonts and graphics, announced today it will launch its own generative AI tool. Called CF Spark, it's already seen three million prompts generated, and more than 500,000 published by Creative Fabrica creators over the past three weeks. Like other digital assets on the platform, users can put up their generative AI files for paid use by other members, which Creative Fabrica says makes it the first generative AI that also allows creators to make money. Backed by investors like Felix Capital, FJ Labs and Peak Capital, Creative Fabrica has an agreement with Stable Diffusion, the image-generating AI system by Stability AI, and is working on a partnership with OpenAI to include DALL-E 2 in its ecosystem. CF Spark also uses the Dreamstudio API. Creative Fabrica CEO Roemie Hillenaar said this mix allows users to get different results and covers a broader range of styles.


Nexalogy Working On AI Driven Mental Health Detection Tool

#artificialintelligence

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2022) - Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV: DM) (FSE: D4G) (OTCQB: DTMXF) (the "Company" or "Datametrex") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexalogy Environics Inc. ("Nexalogy"), is in the process of developing an artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning ("ML") tool to detect depression and anxiety. The tool explores sets of data and text to analyze and distinguish emotions and moods to determine one's mental state and if the creator of that text is suffering specifically from depression or anxiety. Nexalogy designed their tool to focus on depression and anxiety detection. The latest research suggests that the most prevalent mental illnesses are depression and anxiety which are estimated to affect nearly one in ten people worldwide, over 676 million people. Identifying these conditions in their early stages is critical in addressing the significant public health concerns surrounding these illnesses that lead to self-harm and suicide.


'Deepfakes' of Celebrities Have Begun Appearing in Ads, With or Without Their Permission

#artificialintelligence

And last month a promotional video for machine-learning firm Paperspace Co. showed talking semblances of the actors Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio. None of these celebrities ever spent a moment filming these campaigns. In the cases of Messrs. Musk, Cruise and DiCaprio, they never even agreed to endorse the companies in question. All the videos of digital simulations were created with so-called deepfake technology, which uses computer-generated renditions to make the Hollywood and business notables say and do things they never actually said or did. Some of the ads are broad parodies, and the meshing of the digital to the analog in the best of cases might not fool an alert viewer.
