Meta has been using the public posts and photos of adult Facebook and Instagram users to train its AI models – going back in their archives all the way to 2007. This was confirmed by Melinda Claybaugh, Meta’s global privacy director, during a government hearing in Australia, according to ABC News. The data collection includes …
A new method called Transfusion enables the training of models that can process and generate both text and images. As researchers from Meta and other institutions report, Transfusion combines prediction of the next token for text with diffusion for images in a single transformational model. Experiments have shown that this approach scales better than quantizing …
Meta replaces its “Made with AI” tag for photos with “AI Info”. This should eliminate confusion about photos that have only been edited with AI-powered tools.
Google wants to improve the accuracy of its AI models. To avoid “hallucinations,” the company is working with partners such as Moody’s, Thomson Reuters, and ZoomInfo who will feed the AI systems with up-to-date information. A new “confidence score” is also supposed to indicate how confident the AI is in its answer being correct. With …
Meta’s labeling of images as “Made with AI” is causing confusion and criticism. The company wants to identify photos on its platforms that have been created using AI tools, but the automatic label does not work reliably. Many users report that photos that have only been edited with AI are also being labeled. Photographers criticize …
Meta is releasing a series of new AI models for audio, text and watermarks. Meta is also making two sizes of its Chameleon multimodal text model available for research. These models can be used to perform tasks that require both visual and textual understanding, such as image annotation.
Meta apparently wants to use content from Instagram and Facebook to train its AI models. European users will be able to opt out of having their data used for AI training, but they will have to actively request it. Meta’s wording in the email is also vague, suggesting that users must provide a reason for …
Facebook’s parent company Meta has unveiled Chameleon, a new multimodal AI model that can process images, text, and code simultaneously. Unlike other models that use separate components for different types of data, Chameleon was designed from the ground up to handle multiple modalities.
Meta’s head of AI, Yann LeCun, believes that large language models will never reach the level of human intelligence. Instead, he is focusing on a new approach that aims to give machines “super intelligence” by teaching them to understand the world like humans.
Meta’s new AI tools allow advertisers to create not just backgrounds, but entire images to generate product variations. However, this feature also carries the risk of tricking customers with non-existent products, although Meta emphasizes that it has taken strict security precautions.
