The text-to-image revolution, explained
Beginning in January 2021, advances in AI research have produced a plethora of deep-learning models capable of generating original images from simple text prompts, effectively extending the human imagination. Researchers at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and others have developed text-to-image tools that they have not yet released to the public, and similar models have proliferated online in the open source arena and at smaller companies like Midjourney. These tools represent a massive cultural shift because they remove the requirement for technical labor from the process of image-making. Instead, they select for creative ideation, skillful use of language, and curatorial taste. The ultimate consequences are difficult to predict but -- like the invention of the camera, and the digital camera after it -- these algorithms herald a new, democratized form of expression that will commence another explosion in the volume of imagery produced by humans.
How is Artificial Intelligence involved in Recommender systems??
When you use the internet to purchase a book from Amazon, order a menu, or even watch a movie on Netflix. Then you receive real-time suggestions for new services. Hence, you manipulate one of the intelligent recommendation systems. So how does Artificial Intelligence (AI) influence these systems' performance? Moreover, before that, what are recommender systems (RSs)?
Sonos' voice assistant is now available on select speakers
As promised, Sonos has launched its own voice assistant. Sonos Voice Control is now available on every speaker the company has released with a built-in mic. As with most new features, you set it up via the Sonos app on your iOS or Android device, and it's a super simple process. I just added the feature to my Sonos One (the second-generation model released in 2019) and it took a scant five minutes. Once it is set up, you can ask Sonos Voice Control to start music from a handful of services, including Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer and Sonos Radio.
