Trending in AI & ML

1. How AI is helping us decode animal languages:

Researchers are now trying to decipher animal language using AI with an aim to change the way humans think of our role and make us understand how to co-exist. They are making use of Machine Learning systems to identify the pattern in animal communication in behavioral ecology systems using data containing visual, oral, and physical communication of animals.

2. VALL-E Microsoft:

While there have been many AI tools in 2022 focused on images, text, and video, there was not much focus on any related to speech. Then Microsoft came with the VALL-E, the latest AI text-to-speech system (TTS). It can take a three-second recording of a person’s voice, replicate it and turn written words into speech but has not been made public yet. Again with a raise of concern about impersonating a particular person or spoofing voice identification!
