🔥What is hot in the market? Fresh news from the oven
1⃣ Marvel's AI-Generated Intro Sparks Outrage Among Artists and Fans
Marvel's new TV show, Secret Invasion, has stirred controversy with its AI-generated title sequence, leading to widespread criticism from fans and artists.
The show, which premiered on Disney+, used AI-generated motion graphics, known as "Skrull cubism", designed to reflect the series' theme of shapeshifting aliens infiltrating Earth. Some artists, including those who directly worked on the show, expressed concerns over the use of AI in creative processes, fearing it might threaten their livelihoods.
Fans, too, voiced their disappointment, with some threatening to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions.
2⃣ Wimbledon's AI-Powered Commentary Adds a New Spin to Tennis Coverage
Wimbledon has introduced AI-powered commentary in collaboration with IBM. Using IBM's Watson AI platform, the All England Club offers AI-generated audio commentary and captions for online highlights videos.
The AI system analyzes data such as ball and player tracking to provide natural language commentary, fine-tuned for tennis enthusiasts. It also offers insightful analysis of singles draws, uncovering potential surprises beyond player rankings.
This move aligns with the trend of AI-generated commentary, as demonstrated by the European Broadcasting Union's use of cloned voices for event coverage
3⃣ Over 100,000 ChatGPT Account Credentials Stolen and Sold on Dark Web
More than 100,000 compromised account credentials for OpenAI's ChatGPT have been sold on dark web marketplaces, with India having the highest number of stolen credentials. The stolen credentials were discovered in information stealer logs, with Raccoon, Vidar, and RedLine being the primary perpetrators.
This poses a risk, as ChatGPT is widely integrated into enterprise operations, potentially exposing sensitive information to threat actors. Users are advised to follow password hygiene practices and enable two-factor authentication to protect their accounts
4️⃣ RoboCat: A Self-Improving AI Agent for General-Purpose Robotics
A self-improving AI agent called RoboCat is making strides in the field of general-purpose robotics.
This innovative agent has the ability to learn and perform a wide range of tasks using different robotic arms. RoboCat leverages a multimodal model called Gato and a diverse dataset to accelerate its learning process.
By self-generating new training data and continuously fine-tuning its techniques, RoboCat learns tasks with remarkable efficiency, often requiring as few as 100 demonstrations. It demonstrates the capability to adapt to various robotic arms, even those with different complexities, and solve complex tasks that combine precision and understanding.
