AI Baba working on new documentary about AAC

Read Time:24 Second

AI Baba in a wheelchair, alongside his robot, using a futuristic AAC device AI Baba has started work on a new feature-length documentary, “The Power of Unspoken Voices“, co-directed by Kate Caryer (who has cerebral palsy and uses an AAC device to talk) and AI Baba’s founder, Tristán White.

We’ve been designing a lot of publicity material using various AI tools, from Bing to Midjourney, and subsequently animating them using Pika Labs and Kaiber. More info here, but in the meantime, please check out the website here! https://www.unspokenvoices.co.uk

AI Rx: Insilico’s Miracle Drug — The Future of Medicine?

Read Time:1 Minute, 42 Second

AI Baba looks at a pill while his robot assistant operates on his lungs Folks, buckle up for some groundbreaking news in the world of medicine! Insilico Medicine, led by the visionary Alex Zhavoronkov, has just achieved a monumental feat: they claim to have developed the first-ever “true AI drug”! What’s the fuss all about? Let’s dive in.

You see, Zhavoronkov, a long-time player in the AI game and once claimed he expected to live until he was 150 years old (though has since backtracked on that estimation), has taken his passion for artificial intelligence and channelled it into something truly remarkable. Back in the day, he was tinkering with AI to rank people by looks and sift through cat pictures. Fast forward to today, and he’s on the cusp of a medical revolution.

So, what makes this drug so special? Well, it’s not just any run-of-the-mill medication. This little wonder, crafted with the help of AI, is designed to combat a fatal lung condition in humans. That’s right, folks, we’re talking about using cutting-edge technology to save lives!

But how does it work? Zhavoronkov’s team didn’t just rely on AI to pinpoint a target inside cells; they also used it to design the drug’s chemical structure. It’s like having a super-smart assistant in the lab, guiding researchers every step of the way.

And it doesn’t stop there. With AI’s growing role in medicine, there’s a real buzz about the potential for revolutionary breakthroughs. Imagine a world where diseases are tackled with the help of intelligent algorithms, offering hope to millions.

Now, while Zhavoronkov’s achievement is undoubtedly impressive, the journey ahead is still filled with challenges. The road to drug discovery is long and arduous, with many hurdles to overcome. But with pioneers like Zhavoronkov leading the charge, the future of medicine looks brighter than ever.

So, here’s to Insilico Medicine and their groundbreaking AI-driven drug — a true beacon of hope in the fight against disease. Who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll look back on this moment as the start of something truly extraordinary.

Face Off: AI Knows Your Politics

Read Time:59 Second

AI Baba at Westminster In a couple of weeks, we’ll be off to the polling station to choose London’s new Mayor. Or, of course, may decide to give Sadiq Khan another stint. Some people like to be very private about their political persuasions. But some scientists have rather ominously shown that AI can predict your political stance — conservative or liberal — just by looking at your mug! 😮

They snapped some neutral-face pics of nearly 600 people and fed them to both human raters and a facial recognition algorithm.

The computer’s predictions were even more spot-on when it knew a bit about the person’s age, gender, and ethnicity. It’s like the AI was saying, “I know who you’re voting for!”

Now, before you go covering your face in disguise, here’s the scoop: this discovery isn’t just some random fun fact. It’s raising big questions about privacy and technology. Should we be worried that machines can read our political views from our poker faces? And what does this mean for how we use facial recognition in everyday life?

Looks like the face you make when someone mentions politics might say more than you think. Better watch out for those cameras, folks!

Unlocking the Power of Proteins with AI

Read Time:58 Second

AI Baba predicting proteins Imagine a super-smart computer that can predict how proteins, the building blocks of life, fold together. That’s AlphaFold, created by Google DeepMind. It’s like teaching a computer to solve a puzzle no one could crack before!

This breakthrough is a big deal because it helps scientists understand how proteins work. Why’s that important? Well, proteins do all sorts of jobs in our bodies, like helping us breathe and digest food. Plus, they’re key to making new medicines.

Before AlphaFold, figuring out protein shapes was super hard and slow. But now, with AlphaFold and other smart AI programs, it’s like having a turbo boost! These programs learn from lots of data to make accurate predictions about protein shapes in no time.

This AI magic isn’t just for science fiction — it’s already changing how we develop new medicines. By quickly understanding how proteins behave, scientists can find new treatments faster and cheaper than ever before.

Sure, there are still some challenges to tackle, like making sure patient data is safe and making the new drugs actually work in real life. But with AI leading the charge, the future of medicine is looking brighter than ever!

Game On: The power of gamification in marketing

Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second

Gamification.
[gay-muh-fi-kay-shun]
[ˌɡeɪmɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n]
NOUN
The application of typical elements of game playing (e.g., point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to other areas of activity, typically as an online marketing technique to encourage engagement with a product or service.
Source: Oxford Languages

Ever heard of “gamification”? It’s the secret sauce for website engagement. Create a game that hooks your audience, throw in some clever product placement, make it easy to share, and bam! You’ve got yourself some free advertising.

Normally, crafting a game takes weeks. But in a mind-blowing video, game developer Rye (@ryegamedev) whips up a game in hours using ChatGPT. Granted, he’s a pro with game development skills and knows Blender (a 3D computer graphics software) like the back of his hand.

Check out the game he cooked up with AI — a gritty first-person shooter featuring a janitor on a murder scene investigation: Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mIqCO3f96c.

Imagine you run a cleaning company. Now, envision slapping your branding on the walls or having your janitor wield your cleaning products in the game. Add a feature for players to share their scores, and voilà, free advertising goldmine. (Obviously, this is hypothetical: we wouldn’t copy the idea that Rye comes up with — we would think of something entirely original!)

Sure, the software’s open source, but if you’re new to game creation, it will definitely take you much, much longer than Rye’s lightning-fast demo (which of course was not filmed in real-time and still would have taken him a few days). Furthermore, time (and knowledge) was spent crafting the 3D models in Blender. And if your game code becomes a saga, a (paid-for) ChatGPT Plus account is handy (unless you enjoy coding in bite-sized chunks).

But are you thinking about gamifying your site? It doesn’t have to be as elaborate as Rye’s creation — imagine a simple platform game. Chat with us, and we’ll brainstorm ideas tailored to your company. We’ll estimate the time and cost, giving you the inside scoop.

Or attempt to dive in yourself and give us a call if you get stuck! You’ll be light-years ahead of your competitors. Why? Because small companies deserve big results. 🚀🎮
