👁️ HADAR Redefines AI Visualization Systems

A groundbreaking study published in Nature introduces HADAR (Heat-Assisted Detection and Ranging), an AI-based camera imaging system that could revolutionize how autonomous vehicles and robots perceive their surroundings. HADAR operates on heat signatures, allowing it to penetrate visual obstructions such as fog, smoke, and darkness. Unlike traditional methods like sonar, radar, and LiDAR, HADAR employs invisible infrared radiation to reconstruct scenes with clarity comparable to daylight, even in complete darkness. This technology could enhance AI systems for self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, and touchless security screenings at public events. While it may sound a bit eerie, HADAR holds the promise of safer autonomous systems in the future.

FRONTIER MODEL FORUM 🔒 Big Tech Unites: Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI Launch AI Safety Body

Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have teamed up to create the Frontier Model Forum, an industry body dedicated to promoting the safe and responsible development of AI models. As calls for AI regulation grow louder, this collaborative effort aims to advance AI safety research, establish best practices, and engage with policymakers, academia, and civil society to mitigate potential risks. The Forum also seeks to support the development of AI applications addressing major societal challenges, such as climate change and early cancer detection. By establishing this initiative, big tech demonstrates its commitment to addressing safety concerns proactively, potentially setting the groundwork for their own rules ahead of future regulations.
