AI WILL SOON FLOOD YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FEED 📱

I accidentally changed my Facebook status to “Single” and my mother-in-law posted, “WOOHOO!” Needless to say, this year’s Thanksgiving might be a bit awkward … 🦃

What’s up? Meta is now using AI to generate personalized content for users, raising a slew of concerns.

What will this look like? While Meta has long relied on algorithms to curate content based on user preferences, this new development goes further, allowing AI to proactively create posts tailored to individual users’ interests. Users may soon see AI-generated images and even personalized content featuring their own likeness in their Facebook and Instagram feeds.

Why is this concerning? This move raises concerns about the increasing prevalence of “bot-made” content in our feeds. Although Meta offers users the ability to opt out of this feature, the idea of AI-driven posts becoming a central part of social media has sparked mixed reactions. Some see potential for more engaging, customized experiences, while others worry that it could lead to a more impersonal, monotonous experience, making social media more of a means to entertainment than a way to connect with others. The impact of AI-generated content on user engagement will become clearer as Meta rolls out these tests.

MICROSOFT COPILOT GETS SMARTER 🤖

Microsoft really “excels” at AI applications. 😆

What’s new? Microsoft has enhanced its AI assistant, Copilot, giving it a friendlier voice and more advanced features.

What are the new features?

• Friendlier Voice: Copilot now has a more conversational and approachable tone, created by a team of psychologists, novelists, and comedians, making interactions feel more natural.

• Verbal Feedback: Copilot can now respond with casual verbal cues like “cool” and “huh,” making it seem like an active listener during conversations.

• Copilot Vision: Users can now talk to Copilot about content they see in their Microsoft Edge browser.

• Web Page Analysis: Copilot can now analyze web pages as users browse, helping them interact with content more intelligently.

• Think Deeper: Copilot can now help users reason through complex choices, such as deciding between two cities to move to.

• Context Learning: This coming feature will allow Copilot to learn from users’ Word documents, desktops, and even gaming consoles, with user permission.

Why is this significant? Copilot is slowly but surely becoming a helpful personal assistant across multiple applications, offering a glimpse of AI’s future role in everyday life. Over the next few years, it is likely AI will begin to assist us in more and more tasks.

RASPBERRY PI AND SONY RELEASE AI-POWERED CAMERA FOR MODEL TRAINING 📸

Q: How does a raspberry answer the phone?

A: Berry nicely, of course! 📞

What’s new? Raspberry Pi and Sony have collaborated to launch a new AI Camera module that aims to streamline edge AI development.

Want the details? The AI Camera, priced at $70, is designed to help Raspberry Pi users easily process visual data for various applications, such as training AI models on image and video. Powered by Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 chip and Sony’s IMX500 image sensor, the camera can process AI tasks without the need for additional, expensive hardware like accelerators or GPUs.

For camera nerds: With a 12.3-megapixel sensor, the camera captures video at either 10fps at 4056x3040 resolution or 40fps at 2028x1520. It also includes adjustable focus and a 76-degree field of view, all packed into a compact 25x24x11.9mm size.
