Images altered to trick machine vision can influence humans too

Images altered to trick machine vision can influence humans too

Research Published 2 January 2024 Authors Gamaleldin Elsayed and Michael Mozer New research shows that even subtle changes to digital images, designed to confuse computer vision systems, can also affect human perceptionComputers and humans see the world in different ways. Our biological systems and the artificial ones in machines may not always pay attention to the same visual signals. Neural networks trained to classify images can be completely misled by subtle perturbations to an image that a human wouldn’t even notice.That AI systems can be tricked by such adversarial images may point to a fundamental difference between human and machine…

Microsoft drops AC-3 (Dolby Digital) Codec support in Windows 11 version 24H2 – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft drops AC-3 (Dolby Digital) Codec support in Windows 11 version 24H2 – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system will not support the Ac-3 codec by default going forward. In a somewhat surprising and sneaky move, Microsoft announced the end of support on a support page. There, Microsoft writes that "beginning with Windows 11, version 24H2, the AC-3 codec is no longer included with Windows".  The removal of the code means that users may not play media content that relies on the codec on their devices using built-in players or some external players. Microsoft does note that device manufacturers pre-install the AC-3 codec on their devices often. If that is the case, AC-3 support…

How Brilliant Labs CEO is creating a “symbiosis of humanity and artificial intelligence”

“We think that this thing should be about more than whales flying through the sky or a T-rex dancing on your tabletop. It should be about bringing AI in front of the eye to elevate context and make you a bit of a superhuman. This symbiosis of humanity and artificial intelligence could be a great thing.”That’s Bobak Tavangar. He’s the CEO of Brilliant Labs, a Singapore-based company that recently shipped its first wide-audience product, augmented reality smart glasses called Frame, into an increasingly crowded market. Amazon and Meta have both launched their own smart glasses (Echo Frames and Ray-Ban Stories,…
