During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a point known as the transition state, a pivotal moment where the reaction must proceed. The structures of these states can be determined using quantum chemistry methods, but these calculations are time-intensive. To tackle this issue, a team of MIT researchers developed a machine learning-based…
Researchers from MIT have developed a method that could provide animators with greater control over their animations. This new technique generates mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, which define how 2D and 3D shapes can bend, stretch, and move through space. This allows the artist to determine the movements of animated objects according to their…
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence project, xAI, has unveiled Grok-1.5, a multimodal AI model that outperforms competitors in interpreting real-world scenarios. Similar to models like GPT-4V, Grok-1.5 uses visual processing to analyze a range of content, from documents and diagrams to photographs and screenshots. Alongside improving capabilities in text, coding and math tasks, Grok-1.5 also expands…
SAG-AFTRA, the US performers' union, has achieved a landmark protection agreement for AI-generated use of performers' vocal recordings. If ratified by members, the agreement will protect songs recorded from 2021 to 2026 from AI manipulation without clear and informed consent from the artist. Covering both existing and future recordings, the deal has been made with…
The potential exploitation of Hollywood performers and singers by artificial intelligence is set to be curbed until 2026, following a tentative agreement between the SAG-AFTRA union and major record labels. The agreement, which must be approved by SAG-AFTRA members, stipulates that artists must give "explicit and unambiguous consent" before any sound recording featuring a digitally…
