A surprising number of the entries for AI are about generative models that don’t generate text or artwork—specifically, they generate human voices or music. Is voice the next frontier for AI? Google’s AudioPaLM, which unites speech recognition, speech synthesis, and language modeling, may show the direction in which AI is heading. There’s also increasing concern about the consequences of training AI on data that was generated by AI. With less input from real humans, does “model collapse” lead to output that is mediocre at best?
Artificial Intelligence
- RoboCat is an AI model for controlling robots that learns how to learn. Unlike most robotics, which are designed to perform a small number of tasks, RoboCat can learn new tasks after it is deployed, and the learning process speeds up as it learns more tasks.
- AudioPaLM is a new language model from Google that combines speech generation, speech understanding, and natural language processing. It’s a large language model that understands and produces voice.
- Voicemod is a tool for turning human speech into AI-generated speech in real time. The company offers a number of “sonic avatars” that can be further customized.
- Tree-of-thought prompting expands on chain-of-thought by causing language models to consider multiple reasoning paths in the process of generating an output.
- Facebook/Meta has built a new generative ...
