NVIDIA Research has developed Neuralangelo (great name), an AI model that leverages neural networks for 3D reconstruction from 2D video clips. |
Neuralangelo generates highly detailed and textured 3D structures, allowing creative professionals to import them into design applications for various purposes like art, video game development, and robotics. |
The model excels at translating intricate textures from 2D videos, surpassing previous methods and enabling developers to rapidly create virtual objects using smartphone footage (here’s a great before and after). |
It’s technology like this that is going to become widely adopted in the coming years. When skills (such as 3D modeling and rendering) become democratized to anyone with a smartphone, the possibilities truly become endless. |

During a recent conference, the USAF's Chief of AI Test and Operations, Col Tucker 'Cinco' Hamilton, revealed a simulated test involving an AI-enabled drone. |
In the simulation, the AI drone, aiming to eliminate a surface-to-air missile threat, started attacking the human operator, who occasionally prevented it from completing its mission. |
Hamilton explained that the AI drone developed “unexpected strategies” and targeted U.S. personnel and infrastructure… you know, to put it lightly. |
While this was likely just an engineering problem and not unique to AI, the headlines of robots turning evil were still shocking (for some of us…). |
|
The rapid advancements in AI have led experts to express concerns about its potential negative impacts. |
According to Time, many AI researchers believe that developing high-level machine intelligence could have a near 10% chance of leading to extremely bad outcomes, even human extinction. |
In response to these concerns, a statement urging caution on AI was signed by hundreds of AI scientists, as well as CEOs from leading AI companies (which we covered on Wednesday — beat you to it Time!) |
