âThe Game is Overâ: Googleâs DeepMind says it is on verge of achieving human-level AI
Posted by Melvin Louis in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI
Human-level artificial intelligence is close to finally being achieved, according to a lead researcher at Googleâs DeepMind AI division.
Dr Nando de Freitas said âthe game is overâ in the decades-long quest to realise artificial general intelligence (AGI) after DeepMind unveiled an AI system capable of completing a wide range of complex tasks, from stacking blocks to writing poetry.
Described as a âgeneralist agentâ, DeepMindâs new Gato AI needs to just be scaled up in order to create an AI capable of rivalling human intelligence, Dr de Freitas said.

You can practice for a job interview with Google AI
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: information science, robotics/AI
Never mind reading generic guides or practicing with friends â Google is betting that algorithms can get you ready for a job interview. The company has launched an Interview Warmup tool that uses AI to help you prepare for interviews across various roles. The site asks typical questions (such as the classic âtell me a bit about yourselfâ) and analyzes your voiced or typed responses for areas of improvement. Youâll know when you overuse certain words, for instance, or if you need to spend more time talking about a given subject.
Interview Warmup is aimed at Google Career Certificates users hoping to land work, and most of its role-specific questions reflect this. There are general interview questions, though, and Google plans to expand the tool to help more candidates. The feature is currently only available in the US.
AI has increasingly been used in recruitment. To date, though, it has mainly served companies during their selection process, not the potential new hires. This isnât going to level the playing field, but it might help you brush up on your interview skills.

An international team which includes University of Manchester scientists has for the first time demonstrated that nerve signals are exchanged between clogged up arteries and the brain.
The discovery of the previously unknown electrical circuit is a breakthrough in our understanding of atherosclerosis, a potentially deadly disease where plaques form on the innermost layer of arteries.
The study of mice found that new nerve bundles are formed on the outer layer of where the artery is diseased, so the brain can detect where the damage is and communicate with it.

How Soul Machines is making new-gen avatars life-like
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: food, health, robotics/AI, sustainability, virtual reality
In the not-too-distant future, many of us may routinely use 3D headsets to interact in the metaverse with virtual iterations of companies, friends, and life-like company assistants. These may include Lily from AT&T, Flo from Progressive, Jake from State Farm, and the Swami from CarShield. Weâll also be interacting with new friends like NestlĂ©âs Cookie Coach, Ruth, the World Health Organizationâs Digital Health worker Florence, and many others.
Creating digital characters for virtual reality apps and in ecommerce is a fast-rising new segment of IT. San Francisco-based Soul Machines, a company that is rooted in both the animation and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, is jumping at the opportunity to create animated digital avatars to bolster interactions in the metaverse. Customers are much more likely to buy something when a familiar face â digital or human â is involved.
Investors, understandably, are hot on the idea. This week, the 6-year-old company revealed an infusion of series B financing ($70 million) led by new investor SoftBank Vision Fund 2, bringing the companyâs total funding to $135 million to date.
