AI RESEARCH

🧠AI Mimics Our Brain to Process Visual Information

Scientists at Scripps Research developed “MovieNet,” an AI model that mimics how our brain processes visual information.

Key Details:

• “MovieNet” is inspired by the brain’s visual processing region known as the optic tectum, where neurons (i.e., brain cells) assemble parts of moving images into coherent sequences.

• “The brain doesn’t just see still frames; it creates an ongoing visual narrative,” said Director of the Dorris Neuroscience Center (DNC) Dr. Hollis Cline.

• Unlike traditional AI models that process visual information in a series of still frames, “MovieNet” mimics how our brain makes real-time sense of the world.

• “MovieNet” relies on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a network of specialized layers that detect visual patterns, such as edges, textures, and structures.

• “MovieNet” also requires significantly fewer high-quality datasets and less processing power, making it more environmentally sustainable.

Why It’s Important:

• When viewing video clips of tadpoles swimming under different lighting conditions, “MovieNet” achieved 82.3% accuracy in identifying abnormal swimming behaviors.

• It even outperformed existing AI models, such as Google’s “GoogLeNet,” which achieved 72% accuracy in identifying abnormal swimming behaviors.

OPENAI

🎄Fourth Day of “12 Days of OpenAI” Event

OpenAI made Canvas available for all ChatGPT users during the fourth day of the “12 Days of OpenAI” event.

Key Details:

• The “12 Days of OpenAI” event involves 12 livestreams across 12 days of “a bunch of new things, big and small.”

• Canvas works with ChatGPT to write content or solve coding tasks beyond the simple conversational chatbot interface.

• Canvas opens in a separate window, allowing you and ChatGPT to work side by side.

• ChatGPT with Canvas can suggest edits, adjust response lengths, change reading levels, and offer inline feedback when writing content.

• ChatGPT with Canvas can review code, add logs, fix bugs, and port to other coding languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or C++ when solving coding tasks.

Why It’s Important:

• “Canvas offers a more natural interface for collaborating with ChatGPT,” said OpenAI’s Product Lead.

• Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI after investing over $13 billion. Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot is the world’s most popular AI-powered coding assistant. Maybe they’ll integrate Github Copilot into Canvas to streamline developer workflows.

TESLA

🪨Tesla’s Humanoid Robot Tackles Difficult Terrains

In a recent post on X, Tesla showcased “Optimus-Gen 2” walking through challenging terrains such as steep, muddy, and bark-filled hills.

“Optimus-Gen 2” is a humanoid robot that autonomously performs unsafe, repetitive, or tedious tasks. Tesla leverages Neural Networks (NNs) with End-to-End Learning to build software stacks that enable “Optimus-Gen 2” to balance, navigate, and interact with the physical world.

NNs are an AI architecture designed to mimic the human brain. In this case, they’re trained on a large dataset filled with balancing, navigating, and interacting data. End-to-End Learning allows NNs to perform the actions in the raw data without explicit instructions from programmers.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk also recently filed a patent for an AI-powered Vision System that leverages a single NN to help “Optimus-Gen 2” process camera data and develop digital 3D environments without LiDAR or RADAR.

During Tesla’s 2024 Q1 Earnings Call, Musk explained how “Optimus-Gen 2” will “ultimately be worth more than the self-driving car business.” Musk believes humanoid robots will replace most manual labor jobs and present opportunities to extract critical resources during space missions.
