The field of robotics is at an inflection point. “It’s like being strapped to the front of a rocket,” Russ Tedrake, vice president of robotics research at the Toyota Research Institute, says of the field’s pace right now. Roboticists believe that by using new AI techniques, they can achieve something the field has pined after for decades: more capable robots that can move freely through unfamiliar environments and tackle challenges they’ve never seen before. This advancement leaves companies and researchers with a need for more data. Getting it means wrestling with a host of ethical and legal questions.

In the past, AI-generated videos of people have tended to have some stiffness, glitchiness, or other unnatural elements that make them pretty easy to differentiate from reality. But now, new technology and in-depth data-gathering processes are generating shockingly realistic deepfake videos. MIT Technology Review’s AI reporter saw firsthand just how believable some deepfakes have become. She allowed an AI startup, Synthesia, to create deepfake videos of her. The final products were so good that even she thought it was really her at first. In this edition of What’s Next in Tech, learn how Synthesia gathered the data necessary to create these videos, and what they suggest about a future in which it's more and more challenging to figure out what's real and what's fake.
An AI startup made a hyperrealistic deepfake that’s so good it’s scary

AI advances are starting to fast-track some big leaps forward in robotics too. But to unlock exciting new capabilities, roboticists need more (and better) training data. Getting their hands on it is a lot more tricky (and wacky!) than you might imagine - James O'Donnell reports https://lnkd.in/esNbrRpz

It's scary how little control we have over how deepfakes of ourselves are used.
My deepfake shows how valuable our data is in the age of AI
