Job postings for HR roles that require artificial intelligence skills had a 66% growth rate as of 2024, as the growth in generative AI roles across non-tech industries has jumped a staggering 800% rise since 2022.HR job functions had the fastest AI growth, despite only two per cent of HR job postings requiring AI skills, according to the latest report from labour market intelligence firm Lightcast.Its growth is driven primarily by frontline roles rather than management positions.”Unlike other functions where AI adoption flows from leadership down (with high demand for managers and lower demand for less-senior workers), HR’s transformation is…

Despite concerns over the environmental impacts of AI models, it’s surprisingly hard to find precise, reliable data on the CO2 emissions and water use for many major large language models. French model-maker Mistral is seeking to fix that this week, releasing details from what it calls a first-of-its-kind environmental audit “to quantify the environmental impacts of our LLMs.” The results, which are broadly in line with estimates from previous scholarly work, suggest the environmental harm of any single AI query is relatively small compared to many other common Internet tasks. But with billions of AI prompts taxing GPUs every year,…

Captain Cinema generates high-quality short movies from textual descriptions using top-down keyframe planning and bottom-up video synthesis with interleaved training of Multimodal Diffusion Transformers. We present Captain Cinema, a generation framework for short movie generation. Given a detailed textual description of a movie storyline, our approach firstly generates a sequence of keyframes that outline the entire narrative, which ensures long-range coherence in both the storyline and visual appearance (e.g., scenes and characters). We refer to this step as top-down keyframe planning. These keyframes then serve as conditioning signals for a video synthesis model, which supports long context learning, to produce…

Stability AI and AMD have launched a new version of the Stable Diffusion 3 Medium image generator, specifically built to run locally on laptops. Announced this week, the model is optimized for PCs with AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300-series chips and XDNA 2 neural processing units (NPUs). This collaboration allows users to create high-quality images directly on their device without needing an internet connection. The release marks the first use of a special Block FP16 format on an NPU, a design that balances image quality with fast, on-device performance. The tool is available now through the Amuse 3.1 software. The…

Nvidia responded to a Financial Times report that at least $1 billion worth of its artificial intelligence chips illegally entered China. “Datacenters require service and support, which we provide only to authorized NVIDIA products,” Nvidia said in a statement to CNBC. Last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said it would soon resume selling its H20 chips to China after a breakthrough with the Trump administration on regulations. Nvidia said Thursday that data centers built with smuggled chips are a “losing proposition” and that it does not support unauthorized products. The statement came in response to a Financial Times report that…

Microsoft has taken a page from Meta’s book by poaching artificial intelligence researchers from rivals. It has reportedly hired around two dozen staff from Google’s DeepMind AI arm in recent months. The ex-Googlers will join Microsoft AI, the team responsible for developing consumer such AI products as Copilot, Bing AI, and other generative AI experiences, an anonymous source told CNBC. The lab is led by Mustafa Suleyman, who co-founded DeepMind before Google acquired it in 2014 and only left the company in 2022. Others who recently jumped ship from Google to Microsoft include the following: Amar Subramanya: Worked at Google…

The responsibility of handling all official communication during the period of the Maratha Empire was assigned to the Chitres of Kolhapur in Maharashtra. It was none other than Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the iconic Maratha king, who had appointed this family for such an important role sometime in the mid-1600s.Several centuries down the line, Professor Eknath Vasant Chitnis – a descendent of the Chitres – kept alive the family legacy of being involved in the field of communication and played a pioneering role in India’s space programme. EV Chitnis, as he was later known, went on to become one of the…
