The company reportedly develops tech that reads “silent speech,” watching for subtle shifts in facial expression to better process audio. The startup’s 100 employees will join Apple to support Siri and its wearable technology.

  • Students use “AI Humanizer” tools to make AI text look human 3 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. AI is getting starry-eyed. Astronomers at the European Space Agency used AI to unveil 800 previously undiscovered astrophysical anomalies within the Hubble telescope archives. The astronomers, David O’Ryan and Pablo Gómez, trained a model to dig through 35 years of the telescope’s archives and pick out things that were out of the ordinary. It’s the latest example of AI being used to expedite scientific development, with researchers using AI for everything from decoding the human genome to mapping earthquakes. No wonder OpenAI is eager to create AI-powered lab partners. —Nat Rubio-Licht IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER 1. STUDENTS USE “HUMANIZER” TOOLS FOR
