UK Budget 2025: Reactions From Tech Leaders

A new approach to 3D reconstruction leverages artificial intelligence to accurately model shiny objects by training a neural network to interpret reflections as a matte surface. This method, which involves a dual-branch network, allows the AI to create a cleaner representation of the object's geometry by effectively 'unshining' it before reconstruction.

Mitel has launched CX 2.0, integrating advanced AI capabilities, virtual agents, and hybrid cloud solutions to enhance customer support and streamline interactions. This initiative aims to modernize the customer experience by leveraging technology to meet evolving consumer expectations.

A recent report from MIT indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to automate approximately 12% of jobs in the United States, which translates to over $1.2 trillion in wages, particularly affecting sectors such as finance and healthcare.

The article discusses the current landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) for developers, highlighting what works effectively, what does not, and the ongoing relevance of on-premises solutions. It emphasizes the need for developers to navigate the complexities of AI technologies while considering their practical applications and limitations.

A new anomaly detection method named GiBy has been proposed for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), focusing on the continuous monitoring of cyber-physical interactions to ensure safe automation and operational integrity. This method emphasizes accurate linearization of non-linear sensor-actuator relationships to facilitate timely anomaly detection, which is critical for plant safety and service reliability.

Gram2Vec is introduced as a grammatical style embedding system that transforms documents into a higher dimensional space by analyzing the normalized relative frequencies of grammatical features in the text. This method offers inherent interpretability compared to traditional neural approaches, with applications demonstrated in authorship verification and AI detection.

OceanGym has been introduced as the first comprehensive benchmark for underwater embodied agents, aiming to enhance AI capabilities in challenging ocean environments characterized by low visibility and dynamic currents. This benchmark includes eight realistic task domains and utilizes Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to facilitate perception, memory, and decision-making in complex underwater scenarios.

A novel system has been developed to address prediction errors in AI models on low-resource devices, allowing users to correct misclassifications through few-shot learning. This approach combines server-side training with on-device classification, enabling efficient error correction without the need for extensive model retraining.
