THE NEWS

🎶Google DeepMind and Youtube announces Lyria, an AI music generation model

YouTube and DeepMind are giving musicians a high-five and a slap at the same time with their latest announcement.

Here’s the scoop: they’re rolling out two new tools - one's for musicians and the other’s for YouTube creators.

The musician's tool is pretty wild. You can hum a tune into it, and bam - it turns your humming into a saxophone solo. Not just that, it can switch up music styles, swap instruments, and even whip up instrumental and vocal tracks to go with your song. Pretty neat, huh?

Then there's this other tool called Dream Track. This one's for a few lucky YouTube creators. It lets them cook up music for their YouTube Shorts, but here’s the kicker: the tunes sound like they're straight from stars like Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, you get the gist. Cool concept, right?

BUT! While it's a cool trick, it kind of hints at a future where AI might start replacing folks who make stock music or beats with custom AI-generated tracks. A bit of a double-edged sword, don't you think?"

⛅Google DeepMind's AI Weather Forecaster Beats Europe's Leading Weather Center

Google DeepMind has developed an AI named GraphCast, and it's making waves by outdoing Europe's leading weather center in accuracy 90% of the time.

Take the case of Hurricane Lee in September: while other forecasts were all over the map, the AI pinpointed its landfall in Long Island, Nova Scotia, and nailed it!

GraphCast can guess things like humidity and temperature across the globe, and it does this with surprisingly little computing power. The system works with a global network of weather stations, each feeding live data, and the AI cleverly predicts changes across this network.

It’s not solved yet. Even though GraphCast is a step forward, weather forecast is not solved yet. It sometimes misses the mark on intense hurricanes and is still improving its rain predictions. But the potential here is huge, especially for better understanding and responding to climate change.

The European Weather Center is now crafting its own AI model, clearly inspired by what GraphCast has achieved. They're aiming to roll out AI-driven weather forecasting in the next couple of years, hoping to push the boundaries of what we can predict about our ever-changing weather.
