Curious AI: algorithms powered with intrinsic motivation. What does Curiosity-driven AI mean? Research and innovation in AI made us accustomed with novelty and breakthroughs practically coming out on a daily basis. Now we are almost used to algorithms that can recognize scenes and environments in real-time and move accordingly, who can understand natural language (NLP), learn manual work directly from the observation, “invent” video with well-known characters reconstructing synchronized mimics to audio, to imitate the human voice in even non-trivial dialogues, and … Curiosity driven AI – cur ..read more

Google Duplex, one giant leap for AI … or another step towards the ultimate deep fake? At the beginning of May, in  Google I/O 2018 Keynotes  Sundai Pichard presented Google Duplex. That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Neil Amrstrong, 20/7/1969 As you can see from the video below, Duplex is not only able to imitate natural speech (almost) perfectly, but it is also able to understand the context … Google Duplex – “human” warmth and realism in automatic conversation Read More » The post Google Duplex – “human” warmth and realism in automatic conversation appeared first ..read more
