Art has long been considered the exclusive domain of human creativity. But turns out machines can do a lot more in the creative realm than we humans can imagine. In October 2018, Christie's sold first AI-generated painting for $432,500. Titled Edmond de Belamy, the artwork was expected to sell for $10,000. Obvious art created this masterpiece using Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm by feeding the system with 15,000 portraits created between the 14th and 20th century.

South Korean medical AI company made its debut on KOSDAQ, a trading board of Korea Exchange, for an IPO of 37.8 billion won ($33.6 million) by …

The Daily Star's FREE newsletter is spectacular! In a move that will terrify anyone who makes music for a living, an Artificial Intelligence researcher has used deep fake technology to recreate a perfect copy of Eminem's 1999 smash "My Name Is…". The AI has duplicated the exact tone and intonation of the Missouri-born rapper but updated his seminal rap to take sideswipes at Billie Eilish, former president Donald Trump and instant dating site Tinder. YouTuber, 30 Hertz, who created the track, says he uses AI to generate "synthetic parody songs and other poorly written material" in a disclaimer that echoes scatalogical 90s comedy show South Park. He's not the only AI tinkerer using artificial intelligence to recreate the works of famous musicians. OpenAI's Jukebox project uses the same technology to create entire songs that might have been recorded by Frank Sinatra, had the Rat Pack legend not died in 1998.

I recently read the Fast AI deep learning book and wanted to summarise some of the many advanced takeaways & tricks I got from it. I'm going to leave out the basic things because there's enough posts about them, i'm just focusing on what I found new or special in the book. I've also put the insights into a deck on save all to help you remember them over the long-term. I would massively recommend using a spaced repetition app (video explanation) like anki or save all for the things you learn otherwise you'll just forget so much of what is important. Please let me know if you found this helpful and if there are any other training tricks you use that we should also know about?

University of Waterloo researchers are using deep learning and computer vision to develop autonomous exoskeleton legs to help users walk, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles. The ExoNet project, described in an early-access paper on "Frontiers in Robotics and AI", fits users with wearable cameras. AI software processes the camera's video stream, and is being trained to recognize surrounding features such as stairs and doorways, and then determine the best movements to take. "Our control approach wouldn't necessarily require human thought," said Brokoslaw Laschowski, Ph.D. candidate in systems design engineering and lead author on the ExoNet project. "Similar to autonomous cars that drive themselves, we're designing autonomous exoskeletons that walk for themselves."

Time travel has been a beloved science-fiction idea at least since H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine in 1895. The concept continues to fascinate and fictional approaches keep coming, prodding us to wonder whether time travel is physically possible and, for that matter, makes logical sense in the face of its inscrutable paradoxes. Remarkably, last year saw both a science-fiction film that illuminates these questions, and a real scientific result, spelled out in the journal, Classical and Quantum Gravity,1 that may point to answers. The film is writer-director Christopher Nolan's attention-getting Tenet. Like other time travel stories, Tenet uses a time machine.

Samsung Electronics Co. will release a new generation of memory chips in late 2021, its first in seven years, that promises to double speeds and offer the biggest capacity yet to keep pace with the growth of data centers and artificial intelligence demands. The world's largest memory chipmaker said it developed 512GB DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) memory modules based on a High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) fabrication process that's traditionally been used in logic chips. DDR5 memory will be twice as fast as the current DDR4 while reducing leakage and using about 13% less power, the company wrote in its announcement. Samsung expects the transition to DDR5 to begin in the second half of this year. The chip industry has been anticipating the adoption of the new memory standard and support for it will arrive with Intel Corp.'s upcoming Xeon Scalable processors, codenamed Sapphire Rapids.

However, campaigners are still questioning how much the Bank's collection of banknotes represents society. Only the £10 note, with the portrait of Jane Austen, depicts a women apart from the Queen, and all are white.

'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' now streaming on Disney, marks a new direction for Marvel – a downsizing to television after 2 decades of big-screen superhero splendor. Marvel's top gun Kevin Feige, stars Anthony Mackie/Falcon and Sebastian Stan/Winter Soldier, and others gathered for a virtual press conference and discussed current and maybe upcoming developments. Q: Is there a possibility that there could be more seasons of'Falcon'? KEVIN FEIGE: It's a funny question and it's one that we obviously get asked much more in television. Because people expect it to be like what people know before.
