Topics
Andrey Krenkov和Sharon Zhou讨论了AI图像生成领域的新进展，新的研究使得AI图像生成更可控，可以通过输入框指定生成图像中人物和树木的位置等，实现对生成图像内容的更精细控制。他们还讨论了如何使文本AI模型减少种族主义和有害内容，以及AI在野火识别和唇读中的应用。他们认为，仅仅依靠人工监督来应对AI带来的危害是不够的，这种方法存在诸多局限性，容易被规避，且责任界定模糊。他们还讨论了中国科技公司过度使用监控软件对员工造成压力的现象。 Daniel Bashir总结了其他一些AI相关的新闻，包括Facebook和密歇根州立大学的研究人员开发了一种软件，可以识别深度伪造视频的来源；AI预算在2021年显著增加；日本Preferred Networks公司正在研发用于深度学习的国产处理器；麦当劳因未经用户同意收集语音数据而被起诉；Facebook正在测试使用AI系统来检测Facebook群组中的争吵。
