🚨 OpenAI has released new AI videos created by artists and filmmakers using Sora.

Look at these 6 crazy examples:

1. “Air Head” by Shy Kids

People at Flanders Technology & Innovation festival in #Antwerpen are loving our two #LLM powered #furhat robots talking to each other: choose the topic and enjoy the debate!

Furhat Robotics UGent #GPT #AI Tony Belpaeme

Two AI-powered robots happily discussing any subject you throw at them. Still no closer to the meaning of life though. #FTIfestival Antwerp ⁦UGent⁩ ⁦IDLab⁩.

Morgen met #AIRO IDLab collega’s Annelies Lejon en Tony Belpaeme

Oh my, turns out reviewers have massively turned to LLMs to churn out reviews for papers. Not necessarily bad for boiler plate text, but a concern nonetheless.

And the most charming robots of them all at The HRI Conference were of course the Mirokai by Enchanted Tools. Ball-balancing social robots with two-armed manipulation capabilities! 🤖🦾

Fantastic talk by Carolina Parada Carolina Parada from Google Deepmind on using LLMs to control and teach robots. LLMs seem to be the hammer we’ve been looking for in personal robotics. The HRI Conference

A tinge of fatherly pride as ⁦James Kennedy gives the opening keynote at ⁦The HRI Conference⁩ on designing robot characters.

You’ve used your training well young padawan.

A question I hear frequently is how Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can be integrated with robots.

'OK Robot' from Meta AI is a new general purpose robot which does exactly that - combining VLMs for natural language instruction with existing…

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

En na 40 jaar het voortouw te nemen in chiptechnologie, investeert imec in Vlaanderen nu ook in AI. Benieuwd naar het volgende decenium.

The ML ecosystem in France is on fire🔥 It has amazing talent and resources. Here are 10 facts you might not know:

1. There are great research labs - from Mistral AI and kyutai to large ones from AI at Meta and Google DeepMind. The Llama 2 and CodeLlama authors are based in…

Wonderful evening celebrating 40 years of VUB AI lab at the Royal Library in Brussels. A lecture on the lab’s history of AI by Luc Steels, a fantastic exhibition on the lab’s work on “science at the edge of chaos”, and people, so many wonderful people!

Ons nieuwste teamlid Eva Verhelst haalde de finale van de Vlaamse Scriptieprijs, categorie Technologie 🎉🥳. De winnaar wordt degene met de meeste publieksstemmen, stemmen jullie mee voor haar?

The UAE Minister of AI Omar Sultan AlOlama points to a historical precedent of premature technology regulation motivated by fear: the ban of the printing press in 1515 by Sultan Selim I led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire.

“We overregulated a technology, which was the printing…

Jobsworth (n) A person in authority (esp. a minor official) who insists on adhering to rules and regulations or bureaucratic procedures even at the expense of common sense (OED).

Let me tell you, I've met a few today UGent

Some very clever integration by Giulio Antonio Abbo, making a social robot multimodal using #GPT4 . Building instructions included, so you can make your own!

#GPT4 and real-time video feed for enhanced context awareness in social robots! 🤖👀 Explore the code and results in my latest post (and paper!): dev.to/giubots/implem…

Yes, he is not the popular boy he once was, but this is uncalled for The Guardian 😉

This ⬇️ Glad my university UGent saw the light and hands out basic research funding without the whole proposal malarkey. Now the funding agencies still need to see the light.
