[ad_1] This enables the system to automatically suggest a product’s attributes to Marketplace sellers when they upload a picture of what they’re trying to list, simplifying the process of posting items for sale. What’s more, it will allow retailers to display their wares in a more natural setting. So rather than listing a dozen catalog […]

Clearview AI leak names businesses using its facial recognition database
[ad_1] Thousands of public law enforcement agencies and private companies are named in the client logs including Best Buy and Macy’s, the Department of Justice including ICE, the CBP, Interpol, and the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, as well as a number of foreign states like the UAE. Facial recognition […]
Facebook buys startup using AI vision to find your location
[ad_1] We’ve asked Facebook for comment on the deal, although this doesn’t appear to be an acquihire (where a large company buys a smaller one primarily for its employees). The social network now owns a majority stake, and two of its executives now sit on Scape’s board of directors in place of venture capital representatives. […]
Google AI tool helps conservationists (and the public) track wildlife
[ad_1] The website, meanwhile, is powerful whether or not you’re a researcher. You can explore about 4.5 million images (as of this writing) using a map with helpful filters for species, countries, dates and specific projects. If you want to find pictures of giraffes in Kenya, you can go directly to the camera traps that […]
Microsoft’s Seeing AI app helps the blind in five more languages
[ad_1] Microsoft’s Seeing AI has been helpful for describing objects and text to the blind, but there’s been a key problem: it has only been available in English, making it a non-starter if you don’t speak the language. That won’t be a problem for some people from now on. Microsoft has updated the iOS-only app […]
Australia rolls out AI cameras to spot drivers using their phones
[ad_1] The first three months of the initiative will let first-infraction drivers get away with a warning. After that, however, it gets expensive. They’ll receive a $344 AUD ($233 US) fine and five demerit points in typical cases, with those figures climbing to $457 AUD ($309 US) for school zone violations and 10 demerit points […]
Solar energy ‘breakthrough’ could replace fossil fuels in some industries
[ad_1] The trick is the use of computer vision (aka a form of AI) to align a large array of mirrors as they reflect sunlight on a solitary target. That allows for the kind of accuracy that hasn’t been possible until now. There’s still a lot of work to go before the technology enters real-world […]
Intel unveils its first chips built for AI in the cloud
[ad_1] The chipmaker also unveiled a next-gen Movidius Vision Processing Unit whose updated computer vision architecture promises over 10 times the inference performance while reportedly managing efficiency six times better than rivals. Those claims have yet to pan out in the real world, but it’s safe to presume that anyone relying on Intel tech for […]
AI can help doctors spot brain hemorrhages faster
[ad_1] The process relied on a convolutional neural network that pored over 4,396 CT scans. That’s a comparatively small number of samples, but the abnormalities were detailed “at the pixel level,” according to UCSF. In other words, they were far less likely to misinterpret noise and other errors as hemorrhages. The technique also had the […]
Tesla reportedly buys AI startup that helps self-driving cars see
[ad_1] The deal hasn’t been officially confirmed. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. However, it’s clear that something is afoot. DeepScale chief Forrest Iandola stated on LinkedIn that he joined Tesla’s Autopilot team “this week,” and that he was working on autonomous driving. CNBC sources said that Tesla bought DeepScale “outright.” An acquisition would make sense. […]
