An international student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) recently had their visa revoked, but the institution was not told the reason why, according to a letter from college president Crystal Williams. “Amid the current landscape of rapidly changing immigration policies, RISD’s Office of International Students and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) routinely reviews the internal and government records of our international students,” Williams wrote in a letter to the RISD community on April 7. “Unfortunately, today we learned of one student whose international status was marked ‘terminated,’ a formal designation that reflects the revocation of a student’s visa status…

When I meet with a new client to take down a recruitment brief, they usually all say the same thing: “We just want to find the right person for the job.” Obvious, right? But as I dig a bit deeper, I try to get them to think about, “How do you define the ‘right person’?” and that’s a lot harder to articulate.When we start to unpick what “right” really means, it’s often based on an instinctive sense of who will “fit in” with the team – particularly within SMEs, where there can be less time to acclimatise and a more…

Amazon is showing off new AI technology this week, including its take on a more conversational voice model to better compete with things like Gemini Live and OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode and an update to its model that can generate video.The new Nova Sonic voice model handles real-time speech processing and AI voice generation for conversational applications, Amazon says. Nova Sonic uses a “unified model architecture” that Amazon claims is better than other approaches that interconnect separate models to handle speech recognition, speech-to-text conversion, response generation, and then text-to-audio. Amazon says Nova Sonic can also better detect someone’s tone and…

The current generative Quake II demo represents a slight advancement from Microsoft’s previous generative AI gaming model (confusingly titled “WHAM” with only one “M”) we covered in February. That earlier model, while showing progress in generating interactive gameplay footage, operated at 300×180 resolution at 10 frames per second—far below practical modern gaming standards. The new WHAMM demonstration doubles the resolution to 640×360. However, both remain well below what gamers expect from a functional video game in almost every conceivable way. It truly is an AI tech demo. A Microsoft diagram of the WHAM system. Credit: Microsoft For example, the technology faces…
