Art masterpieces are a risk at any time; AI and new technologies can give a hand — In recent months there has been talk about how artificial intelligence can create images from textual prompts. Therefore, when one associates the words artificial intelligence and art, one immediately thinks of DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and other algorithms. In this article, instead, I want to discuss why artworks are often less…

Amazonia is at risk and AI could help preserve it — Drug traffickers, gold diggers, loggers, farmers, and ranchers are invading the Amazon rainforest. The pandemic and Bolsonaro’s presidency have exacerbated an already bleak situation. How can science and artificial intelligence help save the most essential rainforest? The green lung of earth

AI models are now able to generate images from text, what if we furnish them with the words of great poets? A dreamy trip between poetry and AI. — Introduction Poetry is nothing more than the juxtaposition of skillfully chosen words. A sequence of characters, yet capable of provoking emotion. An art that is difficult to explain and codify. Listening to or reading a poem, we almost feel as if we can feel emotions, chills, or by closing our eyes…

There is still a gap between LMs and the human brain in NLP, inspiring AI to the latter could fill it — There are thousands of vertebrate species on earth, but only one is capable of transmitting infinite concepts through language. Verbal transmission is fundamental to humans and has allowed them to shape the story how we know it. Do language models fail to match this human capacity? Why? A new study…

Google's new model is trained to answer medical questions. How? — Medicine is also based on the interaction between patient and physician. moreover, although the patient undergoes different tests and imaging techniques there is always a written report. So why AI models for applications in medicine and healthcare have failed to fully utilize language? A foundation model for medicine?

The world is not only text: How to extend the chain of thoughts to image and text? — Sometimes getting to the answer is not easy, especially when the question requires reasoning. A model does not always have the answer hidden in its parameters but can get there with the right context and approach. What is the chain of thoughts? Why does this approach make it possible to…

Spiking Neural Networks are a promising alternative for the new generative AI models — UCSC researchers present a new model with only 260 million parameters able to compete with much larger models. The secret recipe? spiking neurons. Spiking neuron: an energy-efficient alternative and more similar to real neurons

Three months after the chatbot took the world by storm what happened? — ChatGPT has been called the chatbot that has taken the world by storm. ChatGPT can answer questions, write essays and poems, and write code (or help with debugging). In addition, it was the fastest-growing platform (more than Google, TikTok, Netflix, and Instagram) reaching 100 million users in 2 months. We…
