Scientists Train AI To Learn People’s Voices, Then Generate Their Faces

JustAnotherOldGuy shares a report from Live Science: An neural network named “Speech2Face” was trained by scientists on millions of educational videos from the internet that showed over 100,000 different people talking. From this dataset, Speech2Face learned associations between vocal cues and certain physical features in a human face, researchers wrote in a new study. The AI then used an audio clip…

Training a Single AI Model Can Emit As Much Carbon As Five Cars In Their Lifetimes

In a new paper, researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, performed a life cycle assessment for training several common large AI models. They found that the process can emit more than 626,000 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent — nearly five times the lifetime emissions of the average American car (and that includes manufacture of the car itself). MIT Technology Review…
