AI Happenings You Don’t Want To Miss
✨ Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.
✨ Google’s long-standing supremacy in the search engine arena may soon be challenged as OpenAI, boosted by its partnership with Microsoft, is reportedly stepping up to launch its own AI-driven search product.
✨ The U.K. Safety Institute, the U.K.’s recently established AI safety body, has released a toolset designed to “strengthen AI safety” by making it easier for industry, research organizations and academia to develop AI evaluations.
✨TikTok is starting to automatically label AI-generated content that was made on other platforms, the company announced on Thursday. With this change, if a creator posts content on TikTok that was created with a service like OpenAI’s DALL·E 3, it will automatically have an “AI-generated” label attached to it to notify viewers that it was created with AI.

👨💻 From Lab to Layman - RAPIDFlow: Recurrent Adaptable Pyramids with Iterative Decoding for Efficient Optical Flow Estimation :
Matching Puzzle: Imagine trying to match two pictures together like a puzzle. Optical flow estimation is about finding how objects move between two images, creating a flow map.
Smart Speed Tricks: RAPIDFlow uses clever 1D convolution layers to speed up the process and save memory. It's like using shortcuts in a race to reach the finish line faster.
Feature Pyramids: Just like building a pyramid with blocks, RAPIDFlow creates multi-scale feature pyramids to understand motion details at different levels.
Fine-Tuning Vision: The decoder in RAPIDFlow refines these pyramids step by step, improving the accuracy of motion predictions while keeping things efficient.
Memory Magic: RAPIDFlow is designed to be memory-efficient, making it suitable for devices with limited resources like robots or smartphones.
Scale Flexibility: RAPIDFlow can adapt to different image sizes, ensuring accurate motion estimation even when the scale of the input changes.
Results Speak Louder: RAPIDFlow outperforms other methods in terms of speed and accuracy, making it a promising tool for enhancing how robots "see" and understand the world around them.
