š§ AI-Powered Wearable Device Reads Brainwaves

Based Hardware recently unveiled Omi, an AI-powered wearable device that listens to your conversations to help you organize your life.
Key Details:
Omi can be worn as a necklace, with Omiās AI assistant being activated by saying, āHey Omi.ā
Omi can also be attached to the side of your head to recognize specific brainwaves. So, instead of saying a hot word, you just think.
At every other moment, Omi is a microphone capturing your conversations throughout the day.
It can transcribe conversations, summarize arguments, and add events to your calendar.
Omi isnāt a standalone device. Everything is processed on a paired smartphone and stored in the cloud.
Why Itās Important:
Omi excels at setting reminders, scheduling appointments, and allowing you to revisit important conversations to clarify misunderstandings.
AI-powered wearable devices havenāt been successful past the Hype Stage. Thereās no better proof than Humaneās Ai Pin and Rabbitās R1. Will Omi be different?

šMetaās AI Team Uses Pirated eBooks to Train AI Models

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave the green light to use datasets of pirated eBooks for AI model training.
Key Details:
Metaās AI Team used LibGen, a website that provides access to copyrighted eBooks from platforms like Cengage and McGraw Hill, to train AI models.
LibGen is a popular resource for students because it provides free access to course materials. However, this popular resource has been fined millions of dollars and ordered to shut down countless times.
Zuckerberg cleared using LibGen to train AI models despite concerns with Metaās AI Team, who mentioned theyāre ādatasets we know to be pirated.ā
Nikolay Bashlykov, an engineer on Metaās AI Team, allegedly wrote a Script to remove the words āCopyrightā and āAcknowledgmentsā from the pirated eBooks.
Why Itās Important:
Meta argues that AI models falls under āFair Useā in copyright law through Transformative Use (i.e., adding new expression, meaning, or messaging to the original work).
In other words, AI models learn patterns from pirated eBooks to create new outputs significantly different from the original works.

AI ETHICS
šŖ¦Is AI Redefining Death, Memory, and Immortality?

Image Source: Canvaās AI Image Generators/Magic Media
Imagine attending a funeral where the person who passed away speaks directly to you, sharing memories and answering your questions. This situation happened at 87-year-old Holocaust activist Marina Smithās funeral.
So, how was this possible? Her family used StoryFile, a platform that creates AI-powered conversational videos. This platform provided the illusion of a live conversation with Mrs. Smith at her funeral.
StoryFile isnāt the only one pioneering the digital afterlife. Microsoft recently patented an AI framework that takes a personās digital footprint (e.g., texts, emails, and social media) to create a conversational chatbot of them with their personality.
The idea of digital resurrections through AI-powered conversational videos and conversational chatbots has raised concerns about how this technology will affect the grieving process.
