Val Kilmer's Top Gun: Maverick dialog was all AI since he can no longer speak
Top Gun: Maverick has proven to be a massive success for Tom Cruise, Paramount Pictures, and everyone involved. If you've watched the movie by now, you'll probably agree with most of us that it's an excellent follow-up to the original film from 1986. What you might not know is that Val Kilmer's voice in the movie was brought to life with voice AI. When the original Top Gun was released in 1986, Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise's chemistry on-screen as Iceman and Maverick was an instant hit. Revisiting that story without Kilmer's Iceman would have been disappointing for many fans and even for Kilmer himself.
Machine Learning and AI Assistants in Business: What You Need to Know
With recent technological developments, artificial intelligence is quickly evolving and becoming more advanced to offer a higher level of accommodation. It's continued to become more versatile and now has many different uses in all types of businesses. There are a few important facts to understand when it comes to machine learning and AI assistants in business as it's integrated into every industry. Although everyone has heard of AI, not everyone understands its potential and how it can be integrated into different organizations. Artificial intelligence consists of software that mimics human interaction and engages in activities.
8 Tips To Get People To Trust Your Machine Learning Models
This is one of those things you only find out after getting a job as a data scientist. Imagine that someone simply showed up with an app to you and said that if you follow what this app recommends, you will reach your goals in life. Take the job the app ranks highest. Date the person the app shows it's the best match. Just take the medicine the app recommends.
Artificial Intelligence is not sentient, at least not yet
As the sun set over Maury Island, just south of Seattle, Ben Goertzel and his jazz-fusion band had one of those moments that all bands hope for -- keyboard, guitar, saxophone and lead singer coming together as if they were one. The band's friends and family listened from a patio overlooking the beach. And Desdemona, wearing a purple wig and a black dress laced with metal studs, was on lead vocals, warning of the coming Singularity -- the inflection point where technology can no longer be controlled by its creators. "The Singularity will not be centralised!" After more than 25 years as an artificial intelligence researcher, a quarter-century spent in pursuit of a machine that could think like a human -- Goertzel knew he had finally reached the end goal: Desdemona, a machine he had built, was sentient. But a few minutes later, he realised this was nonsense. "When the band gelled, it felt like the robot was part of our collective intelligence, that it was sensing what we were feeling and doing," he said.
Streaming: the best video game film adaptations
The humble video game movie tends to get it from all sides. Critics turn up their noses and gaming nerds are often equally hard to please, albeit on very different points of principle. Kids are perhaps the most forgiving demographic for the video game film, which is why the belated Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise has done well to squarely target them. It gets the job done, perhaps a little too thoroughly at more than two hours in length. Many of the best video game adaptations succeed by making it all a bit of a joke.

Claims of AI sentience branded 'pure clickbait'
AI chatbots are not sentient – they have just got better at tricking humans into thinking they might be, experts at Stanford University conclude. The idea of conscious machines more intelligent than any old software went viral last month, when a now-former engineer at Google, Blake Lemoine, claimed the web giant's LaMDA language model had real thoughts and feelings. Lemoine was suspended and later fired for reportedly violating Google's confidentiality policies. Although most experts were quick to dismiss LaMDA or any other AI chatbot as sentient, Lemoine's views have led some to question whether he might be right – and whether continuing to advance machine learning could be harmful for society. John Etchemendy, co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), criticized the initial news of Lamoine's suspension in the Washington Post for being "clickbait".
Analysing the Memorability of a Procedural Crime-Drama TV Series, CSI
Cummins, Sean, Sweeney, Lorin, Smeaton, Alan F.
We investigate the memorability of a 5-season span of a popular crime-drama TV series, CSI, through the application of a vision transformer fine-tuned on the task of predicting video memorability. By investigating the popular genre of crime-drama TV through the use of a detailed annotated corpus combined with video memorability scores, we show how to extrapolate meaning from the memorability scores generated on video shots. We perform a quantitative analysis to relate video shot memorability to a variety of aspects of the show. The insights we present in this paper illustrate the importance of video memorability in applications which use multimedia in areas like education, marketing, indexing, as well as in the case here namely TV and film production.
