FIGURE 01: OPENAI TEACHES FIGURE’S ROBOTS TO TALK

A must-see! Figure + OpenAI are working on the next level of humanoid robots, conversing with humans, using end-to-end neural networks:

→ OpenAI provides visual reasoning & language understanding
→ Figure’s neural networks provide fast, low-level, dexterous robotic actions

Two weeks ago, they just announced that Figure and OpenAI are joining forces to push the boundaries of robot learning. Together they are developing the next generation of AI models for humanoid robots.

This video here shows end-to-end neural networks (no teleop). It was also filmed at 1.0x speed and shot continuously. As you can see from the video, there has been a dramatic acceleration of the robot, they’re starting to approach human speed.

The goal is to train a world model to operate humanoid robots at the billion unit level.

INTERVIEW: THE IMPORTANCE OF AI FOR COMPANIES & CO.

INTERVIEW: THE IMPORTANCE OF AI FOR COMPANIES & CO.

Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban says: “There’s only two types of companies in this world, Morgan, those who are great at AI and everybody else. If you don’t know AI, you are going to fail, period, end of story.

Whether you are an employee, you’re going to have to understand it and impact — how it impacts your job or how you can use it to be better at your job.

Same if you’re a student, the same thing.

And if you’re a CEO, you can’t just say, OK, I’m going to get my tech guys to understand it and educate me on it. You have to understand it, because it will have significant impact on every single thing that you do. There’s no avoiding it.”

Don’t worry, we’re at IDEASCANNER here to help you think smarter with AI. Like, comment and share the video of this interview on LinkedIn to show your colleagues the importance of addressing this issue.

EMO: ALIBABA’S AI VIDEO TOOL BRINGS PICTURES TO LIFE

You have to see what Alibaba’s EMO can do with a portrait photo + audio input.

The new AI video tool Emo (Emote Portrait Alive) is not yet commercially available.

But Alibaba’s researchers have published the first demo videos on Github and explained the details of how it works in a paper.

Emo makes it possible to animate a portrait image in a video by combining it with an audio file.

This gives the impression that the person is speaking or singing, as you can see below.

SORA: THE LATEST AI MODEL FOR GENERATING VIDEOS

SORA: THE LATEST AI MODEL FOR GENERATING VIDEOS

First text, then images, now the creators of ChatGPT and DALL-E have announced Sora, a text-to-video model. Sora is available to red teamers and experts who will adversarially test the model. According to the announcement, it is also available to a select group of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers “to get feedback on how to evolve the model to be most helpful to creative professionals.”

OpenAI’s API has also had an exponential impact on the AI industry, allowing companies and developers to build their own generative AI tools.

Now, OpenAI is taking an important next step in advancing AI capabilities with video generation .

With Sora, users can generate videos up to one minute in length, with detailed scenes and multiple characters, just like with the Prompt: A Chinese Lunar New Year celebration video with Chinese Dragon.

But Sora can do more than “just” text-to-video. Additional functions are for example:

  1. image to video,
  2. extend videos,
  3. edit videos, not only the style, but also the content of the video with text,
  4. combine different videos, even real videos with AI videos,
  5. simulate digital worlds, including artificial processes like video games.

On the website OpenAI says: “We’re teaching AI to understand and simulate the physical world in motion, with the goal of training models that help people solve problems that require real-world interaction”.

AI TOOLS: A ONE-PERSON BILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY

AI TOOLS: A ONE-PERSON BILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY

Many companies are often asked how many employees they have. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the number of employees is not an indicator of a company’s success.

This goes hand in hand with Sam Altman’s latest interview: “The thing is, in my little chat group with my tech CEO friends, there’s this betting pool for the first year that there’s a one-person billion-dollar company that would have been unimaginable without AI, and now it’s going to happen.”

Here’s a list of the latest AI tools that you can use as a team of AI assistants to accelerate your business, productivity, sales, and more.
