Strangeworks might be the first startup to rely on AI to create everything it brought to SXSW

It’s a very modern conjurer’s trick: Create an SXSW talk out of thin air, with the help of generative AI. That’s what whurley did this year in Austin. It took nine weeks for whurley — a staple of the Austin tech scene — to create and prepare for a keynote at SXSW 2018, where he […] Strangeworks might be the first startup to rely on AI to create everything it brought to SXSW by Kirsten Korosec originally published on TechCrunch http://dlvr.it/Sl3cB6

Mistaking performance for competence

A year or two before launching Actuator, someone on staff floated the idea of my writing a weekly robotics newsletter. I balked at the suggestion. Surely, I suggested, we would be struggling to fill the pages by week two. It’s not so much that I doubted whether there was enough robotics content to keep the […] Mistaking performance for competence by Brian Heater originally published on TechCrunch http://dlvr.it/Sl12w3

There’s a long-standing debate in the world of logistics robotics. On one side stand the greenfield folk, who insist that the best possible experience is one built from the ground up, with these automated systems at its core.

LinkedIn expands its generative AI assistant to recruitment ads and writing profiles

Earlier this month, when LinkedIn started seeding “AI-powered conversation starters” in people’s news feeds to boost engagement on its platform, the move saw more than little engagement of its own, none of it too positive.

Microsoft’s computer vision model will generate alt text for Reddit images

Two years ago, Microsoft announced Florence, an AI system that it pitched as a “complete rethinking” of modern computer vision models.
