In an experiment, the researchers discovered that one percent of the music the system produced directly copied the songs on which it was trained. This figure is high enough to make the business hesitant to release MusicLM in its current form, noted a TechCrunch report on Friday. The researchers highlighted the necessity for more future effort in addressing these hazards related with music generating and underlined the risk of potential creative content misappropriation linked with the use case. However, some people are still awwed by AI-audio bites released by the Google. "Impressed to see the quality of autogenerated vocals has gone way up! Sounds real but in a foreign language," wrote a Twitter user.

Google has created a browser'Easter Egg' of a spacecraft crashing into the web browser when a user searches'NASA Dart', to celebrate the success of the planetary defence test. The graphic shows a probe shooting across the DART-related search results, before it collides and disappears in a cloud of dust, leaving the page askew. The demonstration is triggered by the search terms'NASA DART', 'DART', 'DART probe' or'double asteroid redirection test', the full name of the mission. NASA tweeted about the Easter Egg earlier today, telling followers: 'Your Google search could reveal something smashing! Search for "NASA DART" on to see a demonstration of browser, uh, planetary defense.'

A joint project between Google scientists and researchers from Janella Research Campus in Virginia has created a high resolution 3D map of the fruit fly brain, the most detailed 3D model of a brain yet created. While fruit flies have tiny brains, roughly the size of a poppy seed, they behave in ways that indicate substantial intelligence. These behaviors include complex courtship dances and a tendency to investigate for hazards like toxic chemicals before choosing to move to new locations. In total, the fruit fly brain as around 100,000 neurons, about the same amount as a lobster, but less than a cockroach, which has around a million. Researchers had previously created a computer model of the fruit fly brain by analyzing a series of microscopic images, but this is the first time a map has been built from real 3D data.

Google has plunged high towards its'AI-first' dream. The tech giant has attempted to develop a Text-to-speech system that has exactly human-like articulation. This AI system is called "Tacotron 2" that has the ability to give an AI-generated computer speech in a human-voice. Google researchers mentioned in the blog post that the new procedure does not utitilise complex linguistic and acoustic features as input. In place of it, they developed human-like speech from text using neural networks trained using only speech examples and corresponding text transcript. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company will be shifting its focus from mobile-first to AI-first at the Google I/O 2017 developers conference.

Google announced today that it is expanding its largest non-U.S. The new Machine Learning Research Group will be based in Zurich, Switzerland, which is already home to Google's largest research center outside the U.S. The company did not say specifically how many positions will be added. But in a blog post, Google executives said machine learning has become critical to the company's development efforts across a wide range of services. "Google's ongoing research in Machine Intelligence is what powers many of the products being used by hundreds of millions of people a day -- from Translate to Photo Search to SmartReply for Inbox," wrote Emmanuel Mogenet, head of Google Research in Europe. Indeed, the Zurich research center has already had a sizable impact on Google.

Google this week announced a new cloud-based Machine Learning platform for developers or businesses that'll allow users to access the company's artificial intelligence technology, reports Computerworld. Google is using its Machine Learning service to differentiate its cloud services from its competitors, which include the market-leading Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The announcement was made during the GCP Next conference, a global cloud event that was hosted by Google. Google's new Cloud Machine Learning platform opens the door for developers to take advantage of Google's artificial neural networks. This makes it possible for the cloud to move beyond a storage medium and become a tool for analyzing large amounts to data.
