‘Human-Like’ Artificial Intelligence Model for Image Creation is Unveilled by Meta
On Tuesday, Meta Platforms said that it will provide academics access to parts of a new “human-like” artificial intelligence model that it claims is better than current models at analyzing and finishing incomplete photos.
Instead of focusing exclusively on surrounding pixels like previous generative AI models, the model, called I-JEPA, fills in empty portions of pictures using prior information about the outside environment, the business said.
According to Meta, this method integrates the type of thinking that prominent AI researcher Yann LeCun has said is more like that of humans and helps the technology avoid mistakes that are typical of AI-generated graphics, such hands with additional digits.
Through its own research lab, Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, publishes a lot of open-sourced AI research. According to Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, sharing models created by Meta’s researchers may benefit the business by fostering innovation, identifying safety flaws, and reducing expenses.
In April, he said to investors, “For us, it’s lot better if the industry standardizes on the core technologies that we’re utilizing so that we can benefit from the advancements that others make.
The company’s management have disregarded industry warnings about the potential pitfalls of the technology, refusing to sign a declaration last month that compared its dangers to pandemics and armed conflicts and was supported by senior executives from OpenAI, DeepMind, Microsoft, and Google.
One of the “godfathers of AI,” Lecun, has denounced “AI doomerism” and advocated in favor of incorporating safety measures into AI systems.
Additionally, Meta is beginning to add generative AI capabilities to its consumer goods, such as Instagram products that can edit user photographs and advertising tools that can generate visual backdrops based on text input.
