🍎 Apple is Testing Siri with AI

Apple is working on improving Siri, their famous voice assistant, by testing new natural language generation (NLG) features under the codename "Bobcat." The goal is to make Siri better understand and respond to users more naturally.

Here's the rundown:

• Apple is giving these improvements a test run on Apple TV first through tvOS 16.4 beta.

• Currently, features are only available on Apple TV, but code for these features exists across iPhone, iPad, Mac, HomePod, and Apple TV, indicating potential expansion.

• People have been discussing whether Apple is trying to make a chatbot like ChatGPT, but it seems they're just focusing on improving Siri.

• There is no set timeline for expanding NLG technology beyond Apple TV.

In summary, Apple is improving Siri's understanding and talking to users by testing new language features on Apple TV.

While it might take a little while for these improvements to reach all devices, it's clear that Apple wants to make Siri more like a human friend who can chat with us.

🧬 AI Creates Cancer Treatment in 30 Days

Artificial intelligence just developed a treatment for cancer in just 30 days that can predict a patient’s survival rate.

Researchers from the University of Toronto and Insilico Medicine have made a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common type of liver cancer, using a drug discovery platform called Pharma AI. 

By using AI to analyze large datasets, researchers can identify new drug candidates faster and more accurately than ever, leading to more effective treatments and better patient outcomes.

Overall, developing a potential treatment for HCC using Pharma AI demonstrates AI's enormous potential to transform the drug discovery field and revolutionize healthcare as we know it.

🎥 Runway Releases Gen-2

Yesterday, we talked about the first-ever text-to-video model and how it's an incredible feat for generative AI, but it has a few downfalls.

A new multimodal text-to-video AI system is released just ONE day later, which takes things to a whole new level.

Gen-2 by Runway is here, and it can generate videos using text, images, or video clips as input. Here are some key features: 

• Text to Video: Generate videos in any style using a prompt.

• Text + Image to Video: Create videos using a driving image and a prompt.

• Image to Video: Generate videos using only a driving image.

• Stylization: Transfer the style of an image or prompt to every video frame.

• Storyboard: Turn mockups into fully stylized and animated renders.

• Mask: Isolate subjects in a video and modify them with simple text prompts.

• Render: Convert untextured renders into realistic outputs using an input image or prompt.

• Customization: Customize the Gen-2 model for even higher fidelity results.

The way we create content that is about to change completely, and it's about to get a whole lot more fun.
