AI Top-of-Mind for Feb 2
Top-of-mind is a follow-up to an article I posted a few days back on the ‘how’ of AI. I mentioned a second blog, and digging into it, Fareed Khan’s cookbook in ‘Level Up Coding’ on actually calculating the transformer architecture is fascinating. You begin to appreciate just how complicated this all is, and why we need the compute resources we do. One step from the posting:
Looking at creative, I’ve mentioned in the past growing concerns with deepfakes and copyright violations. The ‘NY Times’ reports of a new partnership between the William Morris Agency (WME) and Vermillio to help turn back the tide. From the article:
· Vermillio has created a platform, Trace ID, that could insulate WME clients from thefts of their likeness and intellectual property by using A.I. technology to track images. The partnership will also look for ways to use the technology to allow clients to monetize their likeness and image themselves.
· WME’s clients will now give their identifying digital data to Vermillio to be recorded and protected on the blockchain. Vermillio said it would then be able to track and authenticate images of the clients that appear online. Those images could then either be removed, or the clients could decide to ask for payment. Vermillio would get a share of that revenue.
Now on to retail, and with the Super Bowl coming up, the announcements coming in fast. This from Google on a tool for the visually impaired. From the ‘9To5Google’ article:
This Super Bowl ad is “about a blind man and his girlfriend, and we follow them on their journey together in growing closer.” It’s shot by blind director Adam Morse and Made by Google shared a behind-the-scenes look today.
And on marketing, a podcast by ‘MarketingProfs’ looks at the impact of AI on brand monitoring.
In other news, on the corporate front, some older reporting of Intel’s OpenVINO Gen AI update at Innovation 2023, an article on a totally different, ‘Active Inference’ driven approach to AI by Verses, and ‘Multiplatform AI’ reporting on the Offensive Security Manager for AI-driven offensive cybersecurity operations.
I’ll periodically post some great analysis from ‘CB Insights’ 2024 Gen AI predictions. This on LLM training to get you thinking:
