Gurman: Apple has not given up on its own cellular modem technology and will continue to spend billions of dollars to develop related chips
According to news on August 18, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reported in the latest issue of power on The newsletter revealed that Apple has not given up on developing its own cellular modem technology, , and the company plans to continue spending billions of dollars and millions of hours of work developing related chips .
It is understood that a cellular modem is a hardware module used to connect to a cellular network. This module mainly converts digital signals into radio signals for transmission, and receives radio signals and converts them back into digital signals, thereby realizing cellular network data communication.
Current Apple devices use modem chips provided by Qualcomm. Since 2018, Apple has been hoping to get rid of this situation. However, Apple’s self-designed hardware modules have been unsatisfactory and often have problems with signal strength and heating. (Source: it home)
meta quest 3’s perspective camera was “cracked”, and the developer successfully ran the computer vision model
On August 18, a developer cleverly bypassed the restrictions and successfully used quest 3’s perspective The camera runs a custom computer vision model that recognizes the objects the camera sees.
meta currently does not allow third-party developers to directly access the camera of the Quest series headset. However, Michael Gschwandtner, co-founder and lead developer of the xrworkout fitness app, posted a video on social media showing that he successfully bypassed this limit.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: AI face-swapping fraud risk reminder function will be launched, which will only run locally on the mobile phone
On August 18, according to CCTV, the AI face-swapping fraud detection and early warning technology is being tested.
Li Kun, an expert on anti-fraud work at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "We are working with mobile terminal companies in the industry to launch an AI face-swapping fraud risk reminder function. This function only runs locally on mobile phones and can be effective. Protect user data from being leaked. After user authorization, users can be provided with AI face-changing fraud risk warning reminders. "
When the technician who used AI to change the face initiated a video call with the reporter, the test mobile phone terminal prompted "The other party is suspected of fake identity. ”. Click the detection button and after scanning the image, the system prompts "AI face-swapping synthesis probability 93%".
ai face-changing mainly uses deep synthesis technology. The "Internet Information Services Deep Synthesis Management Regulations" propose methods for algorithm filing and security assessment, and require deep synthesis service providers to add explicit or implicit watermarks to deep synthesis content.

A new brain-computer interface system allows ALS patients to "speak" again
A newly published study in the New England Journal of Medicine in the United States shows that by implanting brains in the brains of patients with ALS The computer interfaces with the device and decodes the brain signals into speech, which can successfully allow it to "speak" again. The development of this new system may help people whose speech is impaired by neurological diseases restore their ability to communicate.
To develop the system, researchers from the University of California, Davis and other institutions recruited a 45-year-old male patient with ALS. He was paralyzed as a quadriplegic before undergoing brain-computer interface device implantation surgery, and his speech was difficult to be understood by others, requiring him to rely on a specialized interpreter. The researchers implanted four microelectrode arrays into the patient's left precentral gyrus - the area of the brain responsible for coordinating speech. When the patient wants to speak, the electrodes record the relevant neural activity. The researchers then decode and "translate" the recording results into the words the patient wants to express, display them on the screen, and finally convert them into speech that simulates the patient's voice and play it out.
researchers said that compared with previous similar brain-computer interface technologies, the system has achieved significant improvements in training speed and decoding rate, enabling faster and efficient data processing and more accurate word recognition. Research shows that in different conversational situations, the system can decode what the patient wants to express into words and display them in real time. Patients used the system to communicate with others in person and via video chat for more than 248 hours, with a "translation" accuracy rate of 97%. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
