Synthetic speech and voice cloning startup Resemble AI has introduced an “audio watermark” to tag AI-generated speech without compromising sound quality. The new PerTh Perceptual Threshold) Watermarker embeds the sonic signature of Resemble’s synthetic media engine into a recording to mark its AI origin regardless of future audio manipulation, yet subtle enough that no human can hear it.
Audio Watermarking
Visual watermarking hides one image within another, invisible without a computer scanner in the case of particularly high-security documents. The same principle applies to audio watermarks, except it’s a very soft sound that people won’t notice but encoded with information that a computer could decipher. The concept isn’t new, but Resemble has leveraged its audio AI to make PerTh more reliable without compromising the realism of its synthetic speech creation.

The brain signals successfully directed the robodogs toward a number of locations that the human controller picked “telepathically” by imagining them.
The Australian military is reportedly testing a unique artificial intelligence (AI) “brain robotic interface” to control “robodogs” synced with troopers’ minds.

A precise replica of the patient’s heart is created as a soft, flexible shell.
MIT engineers’ newly developed robotic heart will help doctors adjust therapies to individuals’ unique heart structures and functions. The personalized 3D-printed heart can control and imitate the patient’s capacity to pump blood.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has asked for robots to be taxed for taking over human jobs in his new book titled “It’s OK To Be Mad About Capitalism.”
The longest independent senator in U.S history argues for the adoption of a “robot tax” to mitigate the impact of automation on human workers, according to the book released on Tuesday.
The language model could command robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots.
Imagine a scenario in which you can directly communicate with robots, enabling them to complete various tasks for you. To achieve this, Microsoft has outlined its plans to partner with OpenAI to develop ChatGPT’s capabilities to control robots. The software giant used the chatbot and “controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language,” the company wrote in a blog post.

Productivity app Notion has started charging customers for its recently introduced AI features. The move potentially paves the way for companies such as Microsoft to start charging extra fees for AI assistants.
Notion offered the AI assistant as part of a “private alpha” earlier this year. The feature allows users to invoke the AI to perform tasks such as autocompleting passages of text, brainstorming ideas, creating summaries of documents or simply fixing the spelling and grammar (which has suddenly become an ‘AI’ task in several. modern apps).
Notion charges users up to $10 per month to use its AI assistant. Are the days of free AI tools coming to an end?

Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbot history dates back at least six years, with Sydney first appearing in 2021.
Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot AI often refers to itself as Sydney because what you see today in Microsoft’s search engine is the result of years of work to make Bing chatbots a reality. Microsoft first started publicly testing its Sydney chatbot inside Bing in a small number of countries throughout 2021. The testing went largely unnoticed, even after Microsoft made a big bet on bots in 2016. In fact, the origins of the “new Bing” might surprise you.
Sydney is a codename for a chatbot that has been responding to some Bing users since late 2020.
