London-based Thymia Makes Mental Health Measurable

Thymia, a pioneering mental health technology company, aims to solve the world's mental health problem by making mental health as easy to measure and track as physical health. Over a billion people around the world have poor mental health, and a shocking 75% of them can't get the help they need. Thymia seeks to bridge this gap by using the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The current state of mental health care is poor because there are long wait times and not enough specialists. People with depression take more than 10 years on average to find the right care, and fewer than 50% of cases are correctly diagnosed by general practitioners (GPs). Thymia's new way of doing things is meant to change this story. By using ethical AI models to look at speech, movement, and b...

Meta AI Make-A-Video can Generate Video Shorts Using Text

While the world is still trying to come to terms with DALL.E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, arguing a violation of intellectual rights to images randomly pulled from the Internet, the CEO of Meta (NASDAQ: META), Mark Zuckerberg, talks about the newly launched artificially intelligent (AI) program called Make-A-Video that creates text to videos using descriptions. "All of these videos were generated by an AI system that our team at Meta built. We call it Make-A-Video. You give it a text description and it creates a video for you. We gave it descriptions like: "a teddy bear painting a self-portrait," "a baby sloth with a knitted hat trying to figure out a laptop," "a spaceship landing on mars," and "a robot surfing a wave in the ocean."
