…24/7. WellSaid Labs works on AI challenge Creating natural-sounding speech from text is considered a “grand challenge” in the field of AI and has been a research goal for decades. Over the past three years, WellSaid Labs said it has developed advances in the quality, speed, and reliability of neural text-to-speech (TTS) systems. In June 2020, the company claimed that its TTS technnology became the “first synthetic media service to achieve human parity” for naturalness on short audio clips across multiple voices. WellSaid said it has rearchitected TTS to enable content creators of all sizes to develop all their desired…

…to continuous AI breakthroughs in areas such as vision, speech, language processing, translation, robotic control, and even gaming. Advances in AI Capabilities In a recent Microsoft blog, the author describes how each year since 2012, the world has seen a new step function advance in AI capabilities. Though these advances are across very different fields like vision (2012), simple video games (2013), machine translation (2014), complex board games (2015), speech synthesis (2016), image generation (2017), robotic control (2018), and writing text (2019), they are all powered by the same approach: innovative applications of deep neural networks coupled with increasing computational…

…Biden Moskowitz said President Joe Biden recently gave a speech at the ARM Institute's headquarters in Pittsburgh about the role that organization is playing in building out the economy by helping train manufacturing workers. Before his speech, Biden spoke with Moskowitz about the narrative that robots are taking jobs from people. Ira Moskowitz, CEO of the ARM Institute “We all talked about this narrative, and how we are all doing what we can to prove that this is not true,” Moskowitz said. “In my experience of 30 years in advanced manufacturing, and a few years at MassTech, and now the…

…station uses its Maisart AI system, which includes high-precision speech recognition software, 3D sensors and cameras, to help its robots sort and arrange items. Maisart is an abbreviation for “Mitsubishi Electric's AI creates the State-of-the-ART in technology.” Workers will be able to dictate commands to the robot system either by voice or by using a tablet. The system is pre-programmed to complete tasks and is capable of self-adjusting if it is assigned new duties on the fly or faces obstacles, the company said. It is designed to be used by non-specialists. The company called it a “teaching-less” robot, given its…
