Reuters is combining results packaging and synthetic media to create an AI-generated sportscaster onscreen. The synthetic figure is produced by a London-based AI company, Synthesia. The AI-driven sportscaster is a digital twin of a real person, Reuters global sports editor…

‘It outlines thirteen specific questions, ranging from what happens if an AI creates a copyright-infringing work to if it’s legal to feed an AI copyrighted material.’ Copyright ownership with AI-generated material is ‘a messy subject’ and the US Patents and…

AI text generator GPT-2 is now fully available. The complete code and associated data was released by OpenAI, the California AI lab that created the model. The algorithm extrapolates text from a prompt phrase or sentence. You can try out…

‘The Graduate Art Prize…is open to all final year students on BA and MA degree courses at British art colleges or universities.’ An image generated by an AI model and printed on fabric was the public favourite in a UK…

‘Every aspect of the site is generated by machine learning algorithms, from the entire books and accompanying cover artwork, to the reviews and pictures of people reviewing the books. And on top of that, all the books are actually available…

‘…it’s making billions of lightning-fast probability calculations about word patterns’ The NEW YORKER takes a detailed look at predictive text by unpacking Smart Compose, the AI capability recently built into Google mail. But the stride and strength of this piece…

‘…the AI did not emerge victorious — but even this mediocre performance is a stunning change from what AI was capable of just a few years ago. Until recently, chat bots were very obviously bots, producing incredibly simplistic, confused, incoherent…

Efforts to combine the two foundations of AI may help systems express themselves. All AI systems work in one of two fundamental ways: Using logic – preprogrammed computer code that instructs operations step-by-step, known as symbolic computing. Using learning –…

‘AIVA has read and analyzed 30,000 of history’s greatest scores, from which, via machine learning, she has learned to predict melody movement, harmony arrangement and sequences in rhythm.’ Luxemburg-based AIVA Technologies has developed an algorithm that generates music based on…

‘…after careful monitoring, OpenAI had not yet found any attempts of malicious use but had seen multiple beneficial applications, including in code autocompletion, grammar help, and developing question-answering systems for medical assistance.’ CONTEXT GPT-2, a text-generating AI model, created headlines…

‘The contents for the articles are scraped from the internet using shell scripts and Python scripts. The scraped text then goes through a neural network which produces the output in around an hour and 15 minutes’ BEEBOM describes a German-based magazine…

‘…the largest U.S. bank says Persado’s “artificial intelligence message machine” wrote ads that generated two to five times the response it got from traditional human copywriters.’ New York AI company Persado won a five-year contract with the banking giant with…

“Whatever you think of the ideas on their own, that’s not really the point,” (Abbot) said. “What’s striking is that the machine invented in two very different areas, neither of which its programmer had any background in.” Patent law law…

An AI technology that generates believable text now produces tunes, too. Both come from OpenAI, a California company dedicated to developing artificial general intelligence. Their newest model is called MuseNet. OpenAI says MuseNet can generate an original composition up to…

A publication about lithium-ion batteries is the first textbook authored by a computer. The 247-page title sets a new milestone in machine-generated publishing. Springer produced the book by collaborating with researchers from the Applied Computational Linguistics (ACoLi) lab at Goethe…

‘…the trumpet is not, itself, creative. Artificial-intelligence algorithms are more like musical instruments than they are like people.’  Sean Dorrance Kelly

 ‘…the trumpet is not, itself, creative. Artificial-intelligence algorithms are more like musical instruments than they are like people.’  In MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW Harvard philosopher Sean Dorrance Kelly says creativity is about more than words, notes, or brush strokes and cannot…
