The use of artificial intelligence could become a ferocious battleground during movie awards season, as at least two major contenders were revealed to have used voice-cloning to enhance actors' performances. In an interview with moving-image tech publication Red Shark News, The Brutalist editor Dávid Jancsó said that, in an effort to create Hungarian dialogue so perfect "that not even locals will spot any difference", Jancsó fed lead actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones's voices into AI software, as well as his own. In the film, Brody plays Jewish-Hungarian architect László Tóth, who emigrates to the US after the second world war, and Jones is his wife Erzsébet. Jancsó, a Hungarian speaker, said that while Brody's mother was an émigré from Hungary in real life, "coaching" and re-recording via ADR (automated dialogue replacement) with both the original actors and stand-ins "just didn't work". Jancsó said he then employed an AI tool developed by Respeecher, a Ukraine-based company who were previously involved in the "cloning" of the voice of James Earl Jones for the TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi, to add individual sounds and letters to both Brody and Jones's Hungarian-language dialogue.

It has become routine to report research results where Large Language Models (LLMs) outperform average humans in a wide range of language-related tasks, and creative text writing is no exception. It seems natural, then, to raise the bid: Are LLMs ready to compete in creative writing skills with a top (rather than average) novelist? To provide an initial answer for this question, we have carried out a contest between Patricio Pron (an awarded novelist, considered one of the best of his generation) and GPT-4 (one of the top performing LLMs), in the spirit of AI-human duels such as DeepBlue vs Kasparov and AlphaGo vs Lee Sidol. We asked Pron and GPT-4 to provide thirty titles each, and then to write short stories for both their titles and their opponent's. Then, we prepared an evaluation rubric inspired by Boden's definition of creativity, and we collected 5,400 manual assessments provided by literature critics and scholars. The results of our experimentation indicate that LLMs are still far from challenging a top human creative writer, and that reaching such level of autonomous creative writing skills probably cannot be reached simply with larger language models.

While Barbenheimer was undoubtedly the biggest movie story of 2023, the year in film was one jam-packed with dozens of truly great movies--not all of which managed to generate the nonstop headlines or mainstream traction that an iconic doll and the "father of the atomic bomb" did. It was a stellar year for first-time directors as well, as evidenced by films like Emily, The Unknown Country, and A Thousand and One. If you've seen Barbie, Oppenheimer, and many of the year's higher-profile movies, here are 15 that you maybe haven't seen that are definitely worth your time.

Ask any American what their favorite part of a Christmas dinner is and you'll here a wide range of answers. Many families see the turkey or roast ham as the true centerpiece of the meal, while others drool over side dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes or green beans. And the star of the show was rather surprising. Ask any American what their favorite part of a Christmas dinner is and you'll here a wide range of answers. But we didn't ask any American, we asked AI In most cognitive tests, Bard outperforms GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT. Microsoft's bot can tell users when an omelet is cooked, suggest the best design for a paper airplane or help a football player improve their skills.

A critical task for developing safe autonomous driving stacks is to determine whether an obstacle is safety-critical, i.e., poses an imminent threat to the autonomous vehicle. Our previous work showed that Hamilton Jacobi reachability theory can be applied to compute interaction-dynamics-aware perception safety zones that better inform an ego vehicle's perception module which obstacles are considered safety-critical. For completeness, these zones are typically larger than absolutely necessary, forcing the perception module to pay attention to a larger collection of objects for the sake of conservatism. As an improvement, we propose a maneuver-based decomposition of our safety zones that leverages information about the ego maneuver to reduce the zone volume. In particular, we propose a "temporal convolution" operation that produces safety zones for specific ego maneuvers, thus limiting the ego's behavior to reduce the size of the safety zones. We show with numerical experiments that maneuver-based zones are significantly smaller (up to 76% size reduction) than the baseline while maintaining completeness.

The Chinese search engine company Baidu's shares have fallen by as much as 10% after it presented its ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence software, with investors unimpressed by the bot's display of linguistic and maths skills. The AI-powered ChatGPT, created by the San Francisco company OpenAI, has caused a sensation for its ability to write essays, poems and programming code on demand within seconds, prompting widespread fears over cheating or of professions becoming obsolete. Chinese tech companies have joined the global rush to develop rival software, with Alibaba and JD.com announcing similar projects. But Baidu's Ernie Bot, unveiled at a press event in Beijing on Thursday, fell short of expectations, with the company's co-founder and chief executive, Robin Li, showing only a prerecorded demonstration of the software's capabilities, rather than a live interaction. The company showed audiences a video of the bot answering questions about the popular Chinese science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem and generating a plot summary. It also displayed Ernie Bot's algebra skills and generated audio in Sichuanese and Hakka dialects of Chinese.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is one of the fastest-growing industries today, with a projected market size of over $300 billion by 2025. As more and more companies embrace AI to drive growth and innovation, investors are looking to capitalize on this trend by investing in AI stocks. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the top 10 AI stocks to buy in 2023. Google's parent company, Alphabet, is a leader in AI technology. The company has invested heavily in AI, with its Google Brain project and DeepMind acquisition.

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. Today, ChatGPT is two months old. Yes, believe it or not, it was less than nine weeks ago that OpenAI launched what it simply described as an "early demo" a part of the GPT-3.5 series -- an interactive, conversational model whose dialogue format "makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests." ChatGPT quickly caught the imagination -- and feverish excitement -- of both the AI community and the general public. Since then, the tool's possibilities as well as limitations and hidden dangers have been well established, and any hints of slowing down its development were quickly dashed when Microsoft announced its plans to invest billions more into OpenAI.

But, Google has its own contender, LaMDA. It is only available to a closed set of testers, but it could be a serious contender in the AI Language Model race. Click on the article above to learn more! Come back here for all the latest Artificial Intelligence News.
