Dmitry Kurouski, an associate professor of biomedical engineering in the department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, USA, recently spoke to Spectroscopy about Raman spectroscopy’s role in determining crop yield of key food items as the world population continues to increase. His paper on the subject, “Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Agricultural Applications: Chemometric Assessment of Spectroscopic Signatures of Plants as the Essential Step Toward Digital Farming,” co-authored by student Charles Farber, appeared in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science in April 2022 (1). The following is transcribed from an online video interview between Spectroscopy and Kurouski in January 2024 with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) software, and has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Apple is focusing on vision AI because it allows for understanding, contextualizing, decision-making, and altering the appearance of what is seen. This technology is already being used in various ways, such as text recognition, location identification, image descriptions, and translation. Apple's recent research paper describes a Multimodal Model for Text and Image Data, which combines text and images to train large language models and achieve strong context-learning capabilities. The company's vision for Generative Visual AI, particularly in the creation of digital replicas of spaces, has significant implications for industries like architecture, design, and health. This highly visual AI deployment surpasses the futuristic visions depicted in movies like Minority Report, making Apple an industry leader in this field. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the Collaborative Framework and Robotics Initiative for Developing Arts (CoFRIDA) project at Carnegie Mellon University. The project aims to create a robot that can collaboratively create art with human artists. The robot, called CoFRIDA, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to assist artists in their creative process. The researchers are working on making the system more naturally collaborative and exploring new ways for users to interact with the robot. CoFRIDA received the Best Paper Award on Human Robot Interaction at a conference in Japan. [Extracted from the article]

Anil Ananthaswamy's book, "Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI," attempts to explain how artificial intelligence (AI) works by scanning data for patterns and making predictions. However, the book's detailed breakdown of probability, principal component analysis, and eigenvectors may be difficult for readers without an advanced math degree to understand. While there are some interesting examples, such as how statisticians determined the authorship of the Federalist Papers, the book is primarily filled with complex equations and proofs. General readers may find it challenging to follow. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on Trimble's announcement that its Viewpoint Spectrum and Viewpoint Vista construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) software now includes Automatic Invoicing capability, integrating Azure AI Document Intelligence to automate the processing of paper and PDF invoices, reducing errors, enhancing accuracy, and streamlining financial workflows for construction projects.

Zoom has introduced a document creation tool called Zoom Docs, which uses generative AI to assist with creating and managing information related to meetings. The tool is available within Zoom's all-in-one collaboration app, Workplace, and supports various content types such as wikis, whiteboards, and project tracking tables. Users can edit documents in real-time during Zoom video meetings and collaborate with up to 100 colleagues. The integration with Zoom's AI Companion allows for the creation of text from scratch and the conversion of conversation transcripts into summary documents. Zoom Docs is available to paid Zoom Workplace customers at no extra cost. [Extracted from the article]

Video service providers are dealing with hyper-competition in the media industry. To remain competitive, they must deliver not only excellent service quality, but also be agile and fast in terms of service development. Service failures need to be eliminated quickly and prevented before they happen. There are two challenges here, the first one being that raw data is siloed and needs to be transformed into insights readily available for different stakeholders. The second problem is that video ecosystems are becoming increasingly complex; how to manage that complexity with limited resources? The answers lie in a shift in focus to a holistic, silo meshing, data strategy and the power of automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we share the steps that Divitel is taking towards the goal of building fully automated video services and explain how we plan to use Artificial Intelligence in the execution.

Schumer's SAFE effort has a better chance of forcing AI companies to safeguard against misuse of their technology because Congress might, in fact, be able to pass laws that at least are enforceable and penalize those who violate them, according to Litan. White House promises on AI regulation called "vague" and "disappointing": US President Joe Biden's latest move to wrangle AI and keep Americans safe while also allowing innovation are not enforceable, meaning AI companies still have carte blanche to do what they want The "voluntary commitments" from seven leading AI tech companies to help address safety, security, and trust risks associated with their ever-evolving technologies aren't worth the paper they could have been written on, according to tech industry experts.

The article discusses the views of artificial intelligence (AI) founder John McCarthy on Elephant, a proposed very high-level computer programming language for transaction processing and electronic data exchange. According to McCarthy, Elephant is on the border of AI. In a 1979 paper, he used the thermostat as an example to consider whether and when it can be legitimate to ascribe mental properties to machines. McCarthy is said to have been thinking about very high-level languages for transactions over computer networks for a long time.
