Mint Sr. Associate Editor & Tech expert Leslie D'Monte and Convergence Catalyst co-founder and principal analyst Jayanth N Kolla are back with the second season of AI Rising Podcast. Hold on to your hats as they discuss “dogfighting” and AI, the use of AI in F1 racing via Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), the drastically advancing AI apps, and deepfakes circulating in the charged atmosphere of India’s general elections.
Join in as Leslie and Jayant discuss how the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE) programme flew an F-16 against a human-piloted F-16 in close combat scenarios that are sometimes also referred to as “dogfighting”. They also noted the advancing text-to-video generator Vidu, and highlighted its pros and cons - while it blends shots smoothly for coherent storytelling and simulates real-world physics effectively, it sometimes overlooks small but important details, and may struggle with complex dynamic scenes.
The duo also discussed Meta’s new releases - two pretrained and instruction-fine-tuned LLaMA-3 text-based language models. Tune in to learn the difference between Single Language Models and Large Language Models, and listen to the insightful discussion about AI chatbots and more.
