Cyan Worlds Cyan’s classic PC adventure game Riven: The Sequel to Myst is getting an Unreal Engine 5 remake later this year. Although Cyan’s last game experienced controversy surrounding the use of AI content, Cyan confirmed to Digital Trends that the Riven remake does not use any “AI-assisted content.” Riven: The Sequel to Myst was a 1997 follow-up to a point-and-click adventure game that was a trailblazer in both puzzle game and immersive 3D game design. It continued to refine the formula Cyan established in Myst…

Design, modelling, and simulation of real-world AI systems to improve performance on object detection tasks using finite state machines.Image by authorBackgroundProblem understandingRecently, I came across one of the great cases of using Raspberry Pi and Python for creating a computer vision-based system for object detection. In short, one guy created a device that keeps the neighbor's chickens away from his property. After following the Reddit thread, it became apparent that the problem is quite pervasive and not…

Microsoft has reportedly announced its partnership with a media platform named Semafor and a few other news organisations to help journalists work with generative artificial intelligence (AI) to produce content. The tech giant has said that the collaboration will help the companies to responsibly use AI in their news gathering and business practices by identifying and refining procedures and policies. Microsoft has reportedly announced its partnership with a media platform named Semafor and a few other news…

February 5, 2024 @ 10:13 AM Microsoft is teaming up with media start-up Semafor to use artificial intelligence in the development of news stories, as the technology continues to infiltrate the media industry.  The tech giant is paying an undisclosed sum of money to the media company to sponsor a breaking news feature called “Signals.”  The feature intends to “offer readers diverse, sophisticated perspectives and insights on the biggest stories in the world as they develop,” Semafor wrote on Monday.…

Microsoft is teaming up with media website Semafor on a new project that uses ChatGPT to aid in the creation of news stories, The Financial Times has reported. It's one of several journalistic collaborations Microsoft is set to announce today, and follows a New York Times lawsuit filed against the software giant and its partner, OpenAI, for copyright infringement.Semafor, co-founded by former Buzzfeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith, will create a feed called "Signals" that will be sponsored by Microsoft for an undisclosed but…

Of all enterprise departments, product and engineering spend by far the most on AI technology. Doing so effectively stands to generate huge value — developers can complete certain tasks up to 50% faster with generative AI, according to McKinsey. But that’s not as easy as just throwing money at AI and hoping for the best. Enterprises need to understand how much to budget into AI tools, how to weigh the benefits of AI versus new recruits, and how to ensure their training is on point. A recent…

In the aftermath of its stellar debut at CES '24, Rabbit's pocket-sized AI gem, the Rabbit R1, is forging new frontiers through a strategic collaboration with Perplexity AI.

Inside the wood-panelled auditorium of one of Tokyo's most prestigious concert halls, 24-year-old Kiwa Usami presses just one index finger to the piano and summons the colossal swells of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, accompanied by an orchestra and choir.Usami, who has cerebral palsy, was one of three musicians with disabilities performing Symphony No. 9 with the Yokohama Sinfonietta at Suntory Hall on Thursday using an artificial intelligence-powered piano. To assist players, the "Anybody's Piano" tracks the notes of the…

Google’s AI note-taking app is now available to all users in the United States who are at least 18 years old, the company announced on Friday. The experimental app is also getting a slew of new features and starting to use Gemini Pro, Google’s new large language model, to “help with document understanding and reasoning.” Once you upload documents to NotebookLM, the app can automatically generate summaries and suggest follow-up questions about the content in the documents. Unlike generic chatbots…

Then there's the issue of code sprawl. An analogy to the rollout of generative AI in coding is the introduction of cloud computing, which seemed to simplify application acquisition when on-demand IT first rolled out, and now means there are a tangle of services that need to be managed. Research already suggests the relative ease of generating code via AI will contribute to an ever-expanding codebase. A majority of the 500 developers in the Sourcegraph survey are concerned about managing all the new code that comes with…
