Facebook Developing Artificial Intelligence, New Ways to Detect Users Under Age of 13

Admitting that it is not easy to detect and remove accounts belonging to people under the age of 13, Facebook has said that it is looking at ways to convince people under age 13 to not lie about their age, including using the artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Artificial intelligence makes blurry faces look more than 60 times sharper

This AI turns blurry pixelated photos into hyperrealistic portraits that look like real people. The system automatically increases any image's resolution up to 64x, ‘imagining’ features such as pores and eyelashes that weren’t there in the first place.

Artificial intelligence makes blurry faces look more than 60 times sharper Duke University researchers have developed an AI tool that can turn blurry, unrecognizable pictures of people's faces into eerily convincing computer-generated portraits, in finer detail than ever before.

Facebook researchers say they’ve developed what they call a neural transcompiler, a system that converts code from one high-level programming language like C++, Java, and Python into another. It’s unsupervised, meaning it looks for previously undetected patterns in data sets without labels and with a minimal amount of human supervision, and it reportedly outperforms rule-based baselines by a “significant” margin.

Facebook’s TransCoder AI converts code from one programming language into another Facebook's TransCoder AI model can translate among programming languages like Java, C++, and Python with high computational accuracy.

ACLU sues facial recognition firm Clearview AI, calling it a ‘nightmare scenario’ for privacy

Google’s AR tool helps you measure two meters to maintain proper social distancing

Easier than carrying a tape measure around with you

As lockdown measures are eased around the world, it’s more important than ever to observe proper health protocol in public. That means wearing a mask (if you can), washing your hands regularly, and social distancing. This last step can be the trickiest, but Google has released a handy augmented reality tool that makes things a little easier.

If you’ve got an Android device, just open up the Chrome browser and go to goo.gle/sodar to launch the tool, named SODAR. There’s no app required, though it won’t work on iOS or older Android devices. Your phone will use augmented reality to map the space around you, superimposing a two-meter radius circle on the view from your camera.

Google Maps makes it easier to share your location without an address

Tap the blue dot to get a Plus Code

Google Maps is launching a new featurethat generates a unique six-digit code based on your location. This code can be given to others and used when you’re located away from a traditional street address. It’s called a “Plus Code,” and it’s available with a tap of the blue circle icon that represents your location in the app.

Google Maps makes it easier to share your location without an address Helpful if you’re in a country where street names are uncommon.

Microsoft’s new OpenAI supercomputer

Stanford uses AI scans of satellite images to track poverty levels over time

The system searches for indicators of economic developments

A new AI tool can track poverty levels in African villages over time by scanning satellite images for signs of economic well-being.

The tool searches the images for indicators of development, such as roads, agriculture, housing, and lights turned on at night. Deep learning algorithms find patterns in this data to measure the villages’ wealth.
