5 things about AI you may have missed today: YouTube’s AI song detection, AI could predict heart attack, more

Yesterday, Nvidia unveiled the H200 chip for artificial intelligence models, which will now be the company's most advanced semiconductor. Now today, November 14, things in the AI space has become even more exciting. In the first incident, YouTube announced that it would begin a crackdown on AI-generated deepfakes, especially those that mimic the platform's music industry partners. In other news, a new Oxford study has revealed that AI can help predict the risk of a heart attack as much as 10 years ahead of time. This and…

Man slaps case against YouTube for its ad blocker detection ‘spyware’

In June, YouTube started experimenting with a way to counter ad blockers. This experiment was turned into a global crackdown recently which involved blocking those who use ad-blockers on the video streaming service. Consequently, those who used adblockers faced a ‘It looks like you may be using an ad blocker' message. While this was aimed at stopping the use of adblockers while encouraging users to adopt YouTube Premium, the platform could face repercussions as a complaint has been filed against it for alleged unlawful…

Exploring the Potential of Diffusion Models in Time Series Anomaly Detection

Too Long; Didn't ReadDetecting anomalies in time series data is crucial in various domains, and deep learning methods have shown promise in this area. This article discusses the use of diffusion models for time series anomaly detection, a novel approach that involves gradually adding noise to data and then reversing it to enhance anomaly identification. The paper examines the performance of diffusion models on synthetic and real-world datasets, proposing advanced evaluation metrics to better assess their capabilities.…

YouTube’s Ad Blocker Detection Believed to Break EU Privacy Law

Most ad-blocking browser extensions look for specific file paths and filenames (such as those in the ad blocking Easylist) being called from within a page, and remove them from the version of the page that is rendered in your browser.For example, a JavaScript program called “clever_ads.js” (the name of a script produced by the Clever Ads advertising automation service, which embeds ads in your page) would be identified by the ad blocker and removed, along with any content it would normally load. In the case of YouTube,…

Google Expands Pixel’s Car Crash Detection to India: Here’s How to Enable the Feature

Google Pixel phones have included Car Crash Detection since 2019, but the safety feature had been available in select regions only. Now, the search engine giant is expanding the feature to more countries, including India. Google has added India and four more nations to its list of supported regions for the Car crash detection feature on Pixel phones. The feature first launched on Pixel phones in the US in 2019, two years before Apple introduced its own crash detection feature on its devices.First noticed by Android…

How To Build Computer Vision-Driven Car Damage Detection

Computer vision, as an integral component of artificial intelligence, is gaining increasing significance within the insurance sector. Its implementation yields manifold advantages, such as process automation, cost reduction, heightened precision, and an enhanced customer experience. Computer vision technology brings many opportunities, including the replacement of manual inspection to a certain extent. That’s why the Intelliarts team found it promising to start working on an automated car damage assessment project.  In…

Ghost-busting heat-assisted detection and ranging brings clarity to thermal imaging

Monte Carlo path-tracing simulation of a light bulb to explain the ghosting effect. Geometric texture on a light bulb can only be seen when the bulb is off, whereas this texture is completely missing when it is glowing. The blackbody radiation can never be turned off, leading to loss of texture for thermal images. This ghosting effect presents the long-standing obstruction for heat-assisted machine perception.

Google Rolls Out Apple AirTag Detection With Unwanted Tracking Alerts on Android Devices

Google is rolling out its unwanted tracker detection feature on Android devices, weeks after the company announced the feature at Google I/O 2023. Users who are running recent versions of Android will receive alerts when they are being tracked by an unknown Bluetooth-based tracker. The first device to be supported by the feature is Apple's AirTag tracker. The search giant has also decided to pause the rollout of its upcoming Find My Device network until Apple implements protections for tracking devices on iOS.The Android…

OpenAI pulls its own AI detection tool because it was performing so poorly

When the tool debuted, Lama Ahmad, policy research director at OpenAI, told CNN that OpenAI didn't recommend using the tool in isolation because the company knew "it can be wrong and will be wrong at times." That may have been an understatement.A study from earlier this month showed that AI detectors were especially bad at discerning content written by people who didn't speak English as their first language, with an average miss rate of 61%. One program in this study, however, incorrectly flagged a whopping 97% of
