China's metaverse aims to use high-tech to suppress subversion
The Chinese government has already jumped on the metaverse bandwagon, that immersive digital world being developed by companies like Meta. But the country's leaders don't intend to compete with the US for primacy in this new race – they want to build a domestic metaverse tailored to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) objectives. It's a vision that enables the private sector to develop key technology for the Asian giant, but also maintains what the government euphemistically calls "social peace." The state machinery's wheels are already turning. In 2021, more than 10,000 metaverse-related trademarks were registered in China, compared to less than 1,000 in 2020 and 2019. So far in 2022, 16,000 trademark applications have been submitted.

New Delhi: State-owned telecom research and development entity C-DoT and IIT Delhi have signed a pact for cooperation in various areas of telecom like 5G and artificial intelligence, an official statement said on Tuesday. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) aims to evolve a mutually productive framework for collaboration between research and development and academia to spur the design and development of wholly indigenous telecom solutions. Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) Executive Director Rajkumar Upadhyay said that the partnership between C-DOT and IIT Delhi would unlock new opportunities for capturing the entire telecom technology landscape with indigenous innovations. He further remarked that the convergence of academic excellence and innovative research will augment national Intellectual Property (IP) assets. C-DOT has been one of the key players in the development of home-grown 4G and 5G systems in collaboration with local industry, academia and startups.
Intel-owned autonomous driving tech company Mobileye files for an IPO
Mobileye, the self-driving tech firm that Intel had purchased for $15.3 billion back in 2017, has filed for an IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission. When Intel first announced its plans to take Mobileye public late last year, the autonomous driving firm was expected to have a valuation of over $50 billion. Now according to Bloomberg, Intel expects Mobileye to be valued at around $30 billion, due to soaring inflation rates and poor market conditions. Regardless, it's still bound to become one of the biggest offerings in the US for 2022 if the listing takes place this year. Intel intends to retain a majority stake in Mobileye, but Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger previously said that taking it public would give it the ability to grow more easily.
AI regulation: A state-by-state roundup of AI bills
Were you unable to attend Transform 2022? Check out all of the summit sessions in our on-demand library now! Wondering where AI regulation stands in your state? Today, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) released The State of State AI Policy, a roundup of AI-related bills at the state and local level that were passed, introduced or failed in the 2021-2022 legislative session (EPIC gave VentureBeat permission to reprint the full roundup below). Within the past year, according to the document (which was compiled by summer clerk Caroline Kraczon), states and localities have passed or introduced bills "regulating artificial intelligence or establishing commissions or task forces to seek transparency about the use of AI in their state or locality."
Computer Vision - Richard Szeliski
As humans, we perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world around us with apparent ease. Think of how vivid the three-dimensional percept is when you look at a vase of flowers sitting on the table next to you. You can tell the shape and translucency of each petal through the subtle patterns of light and shading that play across its surface and effortlessly segment each flower from the background of the scene (Figure 1.1). Looking at a framed group por- trait, you can easily count (and name) all of the people in the picture and even guess at their emotions from their facial appearance. Perceptual psychologists have spent decades trying to understand how the visual system works and, even though they can devise optical illusions1 to tease apart some of its principles (Figure 1.3), a complete solution to this puzzle remains elusive (Marr 1982; Palmer 1999; Livingstone 2008).
The Trouble With 'Responsible AI': Irresponsible Government Regulation
The trouble with AI is that it lacks a clear definition. Lacking a clear definition hasn't stopped many people from fretting about this new, very powerful technology--it is some kind of "intelligence" after all. So we hear calls for "responsible AI," and watch the establishment of "AI ethics"-related corporate departments, research centers, consulting practices, and new job categories. Most important, we see the emergence of new, irresponsible government regulation. A new New York City regulation, going into effect next January, will require companies to conduct audits to identify biases in the AI programs they use for hiring employees.
