With BLURD we create a new family of datasets that allow for the creation of both 3D rendered and photo-realistic images with identical factors. BLURD, therefore, provides deeper insights into the representations learned by various CLIP backbones.

With opening of Doctor Sleep this past weekend, we are reminded of the visionary genius of Stanley Kubrick. His powerful impact on art, technology and, yes, even humanity itself remains. Perhaps his most profound contribution was his science-fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was produced in 1968 and was based on the novel (and previously, the short story "The Sentinel") by Arthur C. Clarke. The film explores human evolution, existentialism and, notably, artificial intelligence. This is pure visual poetry about the relationship between man and technology. In many ways, this piece of art inspired today's technology, which is now inspiring today's "art."

Cloud computing has already become an integrated part of various online activities. Moreover, the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever growing sophistication of programmers is ushering in a new age of cloud computing. After witnessing the recent developments in cloud technology, we can make a clear estimation of how it is affecting our businesses. People are increasingly storing data and existing workloads in the cloud. But, owing to the fact that cloud is a new technology, companies have to think about how it will evolve in the days to come.

Wealth inequality is one of the great moral issues of our time. In an era when the world has more money than ever before, billions still live on less than $3 a day. The disparity becomes more striking in the light of studies that show most income inequality comes down to luck, with people of average talent able to shoot to the top of the ladder by being in the right place at the right time. Making the problem even more severe is the specter of automated unemployment, or the so-called AI revolution. As countless jobs have been lost to automation already and 30% of American jobs are at risk of being automated out of existence within the next thirteen years, it may not be long before mass unemployment caused by automation intensifies the difficulty and urgency of solving the inequality problem.

Alarmist headlines abound about how AI and robots are stealing jobs from humans. The fears are spreading beyond concern over blue-collar jobs. Now there are greater worries that even white-collar jobs that require additional training and education will be replaced by artificial intelligence and AI-powered robots. Crunchbase News turned to AI expert, SparkCognition CEO and Founder Amir Husain, to get his thoughts on the matter. Austin-based AI startup SparkCognition has raised $56.5 million over the past year and $73.5 million since its inception in 2013.

Artificial intelligence (AI) causes a mixture of marvel and fear. A machine's ability to perform a human function is certainly fascinating, but what if machines get so good that they displace the need for humans altogether? It's an understandable dread that conjures up dystopian visions, but only if you fail to see the technology's true potential. As AI takes on human qualities, its mission isn't to threaten, but rather to enhance. Through complex learning algorithms, contextual analysis and image recognition, AI does work that humans, prone to distraction and fatigue, cannot match in accuracy or frequency. AI spots trends and patterns way faster than humans with its seemingly infinite capacity to learn, analyze, recognize and recommend.

This fear is as old as Luddites. Arguably, repetitive jobs are the most exposed, but inevitably, "knowledge workers" will also not be spared. Difficult as it may be to put a number to it, but in all likelihood the number of jobs lost will be in be tens of thousands, remarked George. To cite an example – Wealth Advisors in US. These jobs are increasingly getting automated and machines are able to do what humans can.
