Toddlers Are Teaching Scientists How to Use AI 👨🔬
In a groundbreaking collaboration, researchers at Indiana University are harnessing the power of children’s play to supercharge AI.
They’ve been outfitting toddlers with head-mounted cameras during their playtime to study how children learn and process visual information, and what they discovered is pretty remarkable:
Kids can effortlessly learn to identify objects, like a red ball, with just a handful of examples – even if the next ball they see is blue, way bigger, or doesn’t bounce at all. It’s a breeze for them.
Show the same ball to a computer algorithm, and it might need a thousand different images of a ball to grasp the concept.
This eye-opening insight will reshape the way we teach AI.
Rather than overwhelming it with a zillion images, this research suggests that a more focused, selective mix of examples can train AI more effectively and efficiently, putting AI on the fast track to learn at a pace never seen before. 🚀
Billionaires Wanted It, But 54,578 Everyday Investors Got It First… And Profited 🤯
When incredibly valuable assets come up for sale, it’s typically the ultra-rich that take home an amazing investment…
But now, one platform is taking on billionaires at their own game, allowing everyday people to invest in blue-chip artworks. With Masterworks, users have already seen annualized net returns of +13.4, +17.6%, +35.0% and more – all this year.
Because Masterworks’ $800m+ collection includes works by greats like Banksy and Picasso, collected using data powered by AI and expert research. When Masterworks sells a painting (like the 16 already sold) investors reap their portion of the net proceeds.
Some new offerings have sold out in minutes, but Daily Bite readers can skip Masterwork’s waitlist with this special link.
