YouTube has made significant changes to its hate speech policy and removed over nine million videos in the last quarter as part of an ongoing process to reduce the spread of harmful content, Google's Indian-American CEO Sundar Pichai said Monday, but acknowledged that the platform is too big to completely fix the problem. YouTube, which is owned by Google, has come under fire in the last couple of years, as controversial and supremacist content has continued to show up on the site despite the company's attempts to filter it out. "We work hard to get right, and every few years we feel the need to evolve them because we see changes in how the platform is getting used, Pichai said in response to a question from CNN. "Just last week, we had significant revisions to our hate speech policy (which) appear(ed) to be very focused on removing harmful content and reducing the spread of what we think of as borderline content," he said.

This robot uses AI to identify objects by sight and touch

Humans can identify objects even if they are blindfolded because of other enhanced senses such as touch or smell. Bringing similar capabilities to robots, researchers have now integrated AI into a KUKA robot arm to help it identify objects.Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have come up with predictive artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn to see by touching and feel by seeing the official release notes.From a dataset of more than 3 million visual/tactile-paired images of objects such as tools, household products, and fabrics, the model is able to imagine the feeling of touching to encode details about the objects and the environment. For instance, the robotic arm is fed tactile data on a shoe, it could produce an image and figure out the shape and material of contact position.

Adobe builds new AI tool to help identify fake photoshopped images

Adobe has dozen of creator tools to help them make their imagination come alive. However, often these tools are misused to circulate false imagery or distorted content.To address this, Adobe researchers are working on a tool that uses AI to detect edits to images that were made using Photoshop's Face Aware Liquify feature. The effort is part of a broader effort to detect an image, video, audio, and document manipulations, the official blog notes.The researchers trained the AI system by feeding data on original and altered content. It was found that human eyes were able to judge the altered face 53 per cent of the time, while the AI tool achieved 99 per cent accuracy.

IITH improves solar cell efficiency using magnetic field

Researchers at IIT Hyderabad have developed a novel process to improve the performance of third generation solar cells using magnetic field. Working with dye sensitised solar cells (DSSC), they have shown that the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) in the anode can enhance light-to-power conversion efficiencies. Anode is the positively charged electrode by which the electrons leave an electrical device. There is much promise for dye sensitised solar cells because of cost and environmental benefits possible and it is expected that with improvements in performance, DSSCs could outdo mature silicon based solar cells. The worldwide DSSC market is projected to reach USD 60 million by 2023, but such a market can be tapped only with efficiency improvements, researchers said. The research, published in the journal Solar Energy, can contribute towards global efforts to bring DSSCs into real-life applications. "Photovoltaic or solar cell technology has been around since 19th ...
