Mona Lisa is A(L)I(VE)!

Imagine someone creating a Deepfake video of you simply by stealing your Facebook profile pic. The bad guys don't have their hands on that tech yet, but Samsung has figured out how to make it happen...

For all of you AI-lovers out there we have an astonishing video to share! Artificial Intelligence has made it possible to bring the breathtaking Mona Lisa to life. Only based on one picture of Mona Lisa (the one and only actually) a Samsung artificial intelligence lab in Russia shows the ability to convincingly turn artworks and celebrity photographs into moving images. Even more impressive is the fact that the moving images look extraordinarily real.

Know how AI and Quantum Computing are changing the world around you!!

These so called Deepfake videos usually require a big data set of images to fabricate a fake video of someone, but the AI system developed by Samsung created a fake clip from a single picture. But have a look at it yourself!

In case you even want to get some additional information regarding the work behind that and which techniques the system used in order to create such deepfake video, have a look at this one too:

Brace yourself! You will be hired by computers now...

Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute There was a time when humans made computers and ensured that they constantly kept evolving it; after all, it was just a machine. However, times have now changed. Human is no longer the smart ones, and how could they be when a computer is used to hire them? Doesn't feel nice right? Imagine a computer deciding if you are capable enough for anything or not!! However weird it sounds, it is the reality of modern-day HR. We thought that AI was only helpful for big analytical and number related stuff. However, this isn't true anymore. Computers have been making decisions for us for quite some time now, and computer-based hiring is just a step ahead! From taking online standardised tests to appearing for computer-based behavioural interviews; the world has come a long way. As if beating people in Poker wasn't enough, AI has crept its way in here too. The future of HR is both digital and human as HR leaders focus on optimizing the combinatio...

Let AI Save the Environment

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes The environment today needs our help! While a major chunk of our race has been busy degrading it, there is also a part which is focused on helping the Earth survive! Greta Thunberg, the crusader for the green mission has now and then focus on how the current generation has become overly dependent on technology, in fact so much so that it has started spoiling the environment so much! Even though I find nothing wrong in what she said, it is after all true. However, every coin has two sides, and this situation to has a side which has to be discussed and embraced for all the good. It is true that now the world cannot function without technology, and anything devoid of it is obsolete. however, it is this technology which comes in handy a lot of time, especially when it comes to saving our environment. There are several technologies which are currently being used to safeguarding the environment and helping in a variety of ways. Even educ...

The Luke Arm: How Star Wars Inspired the Prosthetic Arm of the Future

The history of prosthetics is a long and oftentimes curious testament to the creativity and resilience of humanity. We first find records of them around the year 1500BC when Egyptians took it upon themselves to craft fiber-based prosthetics, some of which are even thought to have been functional. Since then, the history of prosthetics has moved from semi-functional fiber to solely aesthetic metal limbs, to legs made out of various materials attached to harnesses that allowed limited movement, passing through the well-known peg legs and hooks. Post-World War II heavy investment and technology innovations have produced radical improvements that have made prosthetics more functional, comfortable, and realistic. Researchers have struggled with providing prosthetics with a sense of touch, but not anymore. Over the past fifteen years, a biomedical engineering team at the University of Utah have developed a prosthetic arm that allows users to feel what they are touching inspired by ...
