We've created MuseNet, a deep neural network that can generate 4-minute musical compositions with 10 different instruments, and can combine styles from country to Mozart to the Beatles. MuseNet was not explicitly programmed with our understanding of music, but instead discovered patterns of harmony, rhythm, and style by learning to predict the next token in hundreds of thousands of MIDI files. MuseNet uses the same general-purpose unsupervised technology as GPT-2, a large-scale transformer model trained to predict the next token in a sequence, whether audio or text. Since MuseNet knows many different styles, we can blend generations in novel ways[1]. Here the model is given the first 6 notes of a Chopin Nocturne, but is asked to generate a piece in a pop style with piano, drums, bass, and guitar.

Not all voice assistants can handle the same requests. We put Siri, Alexa and Google to the test. Think of all the things a microphone can pick up: voices, noises, whispers, conversations, arguments, confessions – even people alone, in a room, mumbling to themselves. Think of all the things you say in a private space, all the weird things you do. Once those sounds have been saved, that data can be stored, edited, and manipulated and shared.

Communitech, in partnership with the Schulich Foundation and Leaders Fund, revealed the problem statement for the Leaders Prize Competition Wednesday. This first-of-its-kind competition in Canada will award $1 million to the winning team using artificial intelligence (AI) to solve a global problem that is undermining our democracies: fake news and the spread of misinformation. Teams across Canada are invited to create solutions to automatically verify a series of claims, flag whether they are true, partly true, or false and provide evidence to support their determination. The prize will ultimately be awarded to the most effective and efficient AI based fact-checking solution. "This competition will inspire the creation of breakthrough solutions that inform our citizens if the online content they consume is accurate, before and as they read it," said David Stein, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Leaders Fund.

Fox News Flash top headlines for June 7 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com Videos of Boston Dynamics' robots have been the stuff of both awe and inspiration, as well as nightmares.

According to The Verge, who interviewed Boston Dynamics' CEO Marc Raibert at Amazon's Re:MARS conference in Las Vegas, Spot, the company's dog-like robot and arguably its cutest machine, will be available for purchase "within months" and certainly before the end of 2019.

Depending on your answer, you may not even be pursuing digital transformation at all. Indeed, if you're pursuing new tech adoption for your company's benefit--to save time, improve processes, or avoid day-to-day time sucks like returning emails and sorting through sales leads--it's likely you're merely digitally optimizing your business, rather than transforming it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a far cry from Digital Transformation. So why does it matter? First, digital optimization is like grabbing the lowest-hanging fruit on the technological tree.
