Researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have developed a technique to create lifelike robotic skin using living human cells. The team engineered a small robotic face capable of smiling, covered entirely with a layer of pink living tissue. The use of living skin tissue has benefits, including flexibility to convey emotions and potential self-repair.

OpenAI researchers unveiled CriticGPT, a new AI model designed to identify mistakes in code generated by ChatGPT. The model, based on the GPT-4 family of large language models, analyzes code and points out potential errors, making it easier for humans to spot mistakes. The researchers trained CriticGPT on a dataset and aim to enhance the process of making AI systems behave in ways humans want through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback.

Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz, UC Davis, LuxiTech, and Soochow University have developed a new method to run AI language models more efficiently by eliminating matrix multiplication. This redesign of neural network operations could significantly impact the environmental impact and operational costs of AI systems. The method, detailed in a preprint paper, replaces matrix multiplication with a new approach that does not rely on GPU chips.

Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Records have sued AI music-synthesis companies Udio and Suno for allegedly committing mass copyright infringement by using recordings owned by the labels to train music-generating AI models. The lawsuits were filed in federal courts in New York and Massachusetts. The AI companies can generate novel song recordings based on text-based descriptions of music.

SoftBank, a Japanese telecommunications giant, has been developing an 'emotion-canceling' technology powered by AI that alters the voices of angry customers to sound calmer during phone calls with customer service representatives. The project aims to reduce the psychological burden on operators suffering from harassment. The technology relies on an AI model to alter the tone and pitch of a customer's voice in real-time during a phone call, trained using a dataset of over 10,000 voice samples. The project has been in development for three years and is set to launch by March 2026.
