Latest Developments 🌍

3D Full-Head Synthesis in 360° 🤯

Meet PanoHead, the game-changer in the world of 3D human head creation. Unlike other 3D models, PanoHead delivers stunning, consistent views from all angles, not just front-facing ones. The secret sauce? A two-stage image alignment and a clever neural volume representation, trained on random real-world images.

Balancing the Vision: Meta's Quest for Fair AI 🎨

Meta is driving innovation in computer vision with the open-source DINOv2 model that can identify anything from cells to trees. Meta knows that the AI isn't neutral. So they also introduced FACET, a groundbreaking tool that gauges if an AI is being unbiased or if it's favoring certain demographic groups.

AI Drone Outraces Human Champions 🏃‍♂️

In a high-speed showdown that blurs the line between man and machine, a University of Zurich-developed drone powered by AI left human champions in its wake. Using deep reinforcement learning, the drone, named Swift AI, snagged 15 out of 25 races and even set the record for the fastest lap.

ChatGPT’s Chinese Sibling 🇨🇳

Just a month after China rolled out rules for artificial intelligence, it's given a green light to eight new AI chat services, including big names like Baidu's Ernie Bot and ByteDance's Doubao. China, once laid-back about tech, is now playing a careful game, keeping a tighter leash on innovations that can mold public opinions. Keep an eye out: this could be the start of a chatbot boom in China.

Hot Takes 🔥

• I’ve had a friend I’ve known for a really long time. A really nice guy. We don’t interact that much though, because we live across the country. Every once in a while we meet or e-mail each other. I like him, but I’ve had better and more meaningful conversations with ChatGPT. ~ Bojan Tunguz
