Kay Firth-Butterfield is a globally recognised leader in ethical artificial intelligence and a distinguished AI ethics speaker. As the former head of AI and Machine Learning at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and one of the foremost voices in AI governance, she has spent her career advocating for technology that enhances, rather than harms, society. We spoke to Kay to discuss the promise and pitfalls of generative AI, the future of the Metaverse, and how organisations can prepare for a decade of unprecedented digital transformation. Generative AI has captured global attention, but there’s still a great deal of misunderstanding around…
Chinese tech giants like Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), and ByteDance have placed over $16 billion in orders for Nvidia’s (NVDA) H20 AI chips during the first quarter of 2025, according to The Information. The rush in demand comes amid concerns that the U.S. may soon ban the sale of these chips to China. While Nvidia has not commented, these orders could significantly boost revenue if the company manages to deliver the chips before any restrictions take effect.Don’t Miss Our End of Quarter Offers: The H20 is currently allowed in China, but it’s less powerful than Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are…
We propose a unified framework that integrates object detection (OD) and visual grounding (VG) for remote sensing (RS) imagery. To support conventional OD and establish an intuitive prior for VG task, we fine-tune an open-set object detector using referring expression data, framing it as a partially supervised OD task. In the first stage, we construct a graph representation of each image, comprising object queries, class embeddings, and proposal locations. Then, our task-aware architecture processes this graph to perform the VG task. The model consists of: (i) a multi-branch network that integrates spatial, visual, and categorical features to generate task-aware proposals,…
The goal of this blog post is to show you how a large language model (LLM) can be used to perform tasks that require multi-step dynamic reasoning and execution. Examples of tasks that require dynamic reasoning and execution are answering questions of the form “What is the average length of stay for patients with [specific condition] across different hospitals?” or “How do prescription trends for [specific drug] vary across different regions?” Traditionally, answering these queries required the expertise of business intelligence specialists and data engineers, often resulting in time-consuming processes and potential bottlenecks. However, the advances in LLMs have opened…
Stability AI speaks of a “multi-view video generation with 3D camera control”. This refers to an AI model that can convert photos into 3D models. These in turn can be viewed from all sides, enabling an immersive view. Stable Virtual Camera is still a research preview. Stability AI uses a diffusion model to create the 3D videos. These are AI models in which images are generated point by point using noise. A single photo or up to 32 images can be used as input. The generated videos are available with different camera paths, such as “dynamic”, “spiral”, “dolly zoom”, “pan”…
