Researchers at MIT have discovered that computational models derived from machine learning are increasingly mimicking the function and structure of the human auditory system. This finding has significant implications for the design of more effective hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. In the most extensive study to date of deep neural networks used for…
Modern machine learning models are becoming increasingly adept at simulating the structure and function of the human auditory system, a development that could lead to improvements in devices like hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces.
A team at MIT conducted what is considered the largest study of deep neural networks trained for auditory tasks…
A study conducted by a team from MIT offers promising results in the development of computational models that simulate the function and structure of the human auditory system. These models have potential applications for improving hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. Conducted on an unprecedented scale, the study used deep neural networks trained to…
In the largest study of deep neural networks that can perform auditory tasks, MIT found that the models mimic human auditory representations when exposed to the same sounds. Neural networks are models that have multiple layers of information-processing units that can be trained to perform particular tasks using large amounts of data. These models are…
At the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, kickstarting MIT's Generative AI Week, iRobot co-founder and keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, warned attendees not to overly idealise the potential of this emerging technology. Both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are examples of increasingly powerful tools underpinned by generative AI. Brooks emphasised that the unsubstantiated hype around…
iRobot co-founder and MIT Professor Emeritus, Rodney Brooks, warned about overestimating the capabilities of generative AI during a keynote speech at the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium. This marked the start of MIT’s Generative AI Week, which aimed to examine the potential of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.
Generative AI refers to…
Speaking at MIT's "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, key speaker and iRobot co-founder Rodney Brooks warned against overstating the capabilities of Generative AI, a form of machine-learning that produces new content based on its training data. With examples like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, Brooks cautioned of the consequence of believing that one technology…
Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and keynote speaker at MIT’s “Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium, warned attendees not to overestimate the capabilities of this emerging AI technology. Generative AI is used to create new material by learning from data they were trained on, with applications in art, creativity, functional coding, language translation and realistic…
During the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium held as part of MIT's Generative AI Week, experts discussed the opportunities and risks of generative AI, a type of machine learning that creates realistic outputs such as images, text, and code. The keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and professor emeritus at MIT, warned against…
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) possesses great potential but equally great risks if misused or overestimated, warned Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot, at MIT’s "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium. The event kicked off the university's Generative AI Week on 28 November and attracted hundreds of academia and industry representatives to the institution's Kresge Auditorium. Generative…
At the “Generative AI: Shaping the Future” symposium held on Nov. 28, Rodney Brooks, iRobot co-founder and a keynote speaker, cautioned attendees against overestimating the capabilities of generative AI. Noting that “No one technology has ever surpassed everything else”, Brooks stressed that flippant assumptions about the inferred abilities of generative AI could lead to failure.…
MIT's Generative AI Week began with a symposium on November 28, titled “Generative AI: Shaping the Future”. The keynote speaker was Rodney Brooks, co-founder of iRobot and former director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT.
During his address, Brooks cautioned against overestimating the capabilities of generative AI, which forms the basis…
