The first analyses the visual and audio content of the film to identify sections of interest while the second, is essentially the judge of what is fascinating. It studies a textualized version of the film – similar to a screenplay – and utilizes natural language processing to identify crucial and emotional moments throughout. The final model creates original trailers based on "movie understanding," which is a method of analyzing how neural networks comprehend the material that is fed into them. Previous work on the topic includes a partnership between academics working with IBM who created their unique movie trailer-generator as part of their study project. However, it seems that this one was only capable of producing trailers for a certain horror picture.

SINGAPORE - A one-man team comprising Singaporean research scientist Wang Weimin beat 469 other teams from around the world in a five-month-long challenge to develop the best artificial intelligence (AI) model for detecting deepfakes, or digitally altered video clips. Mr Wang's model was 98.53 per cent accurate at telling apart genuine clips from those that featured digitally manipulated faces, voices or both. On Friday (April 29), the National University of Singapore graduate was awarded first place and a cash prize of $100,000 in the Trusted Media Challenge organised by AI Singapore, a national AI programme office under the National Research Foundation. Mr Wang, who works at Chinese tech giant ByteDance, which owns TikTok, was also offered a $300,000 start-up grant to commercialise his invention. But he said he is hoping to incorporate his AI model into his company's BytePlus platform and offer deepfake detection as a service to its clients.

Seinfeld points out with characteristic deadpan that most funeral attendees would rather be in the casket than give the eulogy. Was there a hint of the familiar in that Seinfeld joke? The National Institute of Mental Health reports that public speaking anxiety affects 73% of people. Can AI help bring some comfort and ease in front of a crowd?

Every time we ask Siri a question on our iPhones, we're using artificial intelligence, of course, but in what other ways will it infiltrate our lives? AI already goes beyond just Siri or Alexa. Every time you get directions from Google Maps, it's AI that's working out the shortest path from A to B. When you get a film recommendation on Netflix, it's AI that knows about people's preferences and a little too much about you. More than three-quarters of the movies watched on Netflix are those the algorithms choose for us. And we're spending more and more time locked away in digital and virtual realities.

Artificial intelligence has taken the consumer world by storm. But should this technology, in which machines mimic human intelligence to perform tasks, be applied to wealth management? Some tech companies have started to work on applications for the advisor space. And Tim Welsh, Nexus Strategy president and CEO, believes AI will be the next big thing in wealthtech. Senior Tech Editor Davis Janowski agrees that AI will be big in this industry, but he argues that the tech is still in its infancy and that there's still a lot of hype out there.

Yes, once upon a time, it was a Steven Spielberg movie (and an underrated masterpiece on top of that). But today "AI" is a buzz phrase that pops up with more and more frequency in all kinds of social, political and especially technological contexts. AI stands, of course, for "artificial intelligence," also often referred to as "machine learning." Ask most folks to define AI, however, and it's much like asking people how a toilet works: You think you know, until you have to explain it to someone else. Artificial intelligence is a moving target, which makes it a challenge for even professionals in tech to fully understand it.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, people are now having conversations with loved ones who have passed away.

Humans are ill-prepared for how much artificial intelligence will reshape our lives, says Toby Walsh, a world-respected professor of AI at the …
