The world of technology saw yet again a massive focus on AI last week, with Tech Times' Weekly Wrap offering you the top stories, starting with China's Kuaishou featuring its new Kling AI for generative video production.
Moreover, Apple's upcoming AI features are expected at this week's WWDC 2024, featuring its collaboration with OpenAI. However, there is also the controversial spotting of NewsBreak sharing AI-generated fake stories, with different pieces featuring its content.
China's Kuaishou App Brings Kling AI, Going Against Sora
Kuaishou is the second-largest short video app in China after Douyin (a.k.a. TikTok). It is now delivering its take on artificial intelligence with Kling AI. This model is capable of providing AI-generated videos for users. The new Kling model is no joke, as it can deliver as many as two-minute videos solely from user prompts and is capable of outputting high-quality ones.
It is now one of the biggest competitors of OpenAI's Sora AI, its latest model responsible for creating videos from text prompts alone.
Currently, Kling is in its testing phase, but it can already deliver 1080p quality videos for up to two minutes. It offers imaginative and realistic videos, and the experience is available to access through a waitlist.
Apple and OpenAI's Upcoming Tech in WWDC 2024
WWDC 2024 is coming in a few hours this June 10, and watchful eyes are monitoring the event because of expectations on Apple's generative AI announcements here. It was also reported that many expect Cupertino to announce its partnership with OpenAI, banking on leaks and speculations behind their collaboration to deliver these new AI experiences for Cupertino.
Dubbed 'Apple Intelligence,' the new technology will be prominently seen on iOS 18, the operating system for iPhones and iPads, which will receive its 'biggest update ever.'
Moreover, users may opt for Apple Intelligence after WWDC, similar to beta programs for new releases after the event. However, eligibility may be limited and only for current-gen iPhones, M1, and later Macs.
NewsBreak Caught Sharing AI-Generated Stories
The top-downloaded news app in the United States, NewsBreak, is now embroiled in a controversy after it was caught sharing news containing AI-generated fake stories. One of the fabricated stories was entitled "Christmas Day Tragedy Strikes Bridgeton, New Jersey Amid Rising Gun Violence in Small Towns," and the local police clarified the incident last December.
Reuters reported that the Bridgeton Police Department said NewsBreak published the story despite it containing AI-generated content.
Other posts were also spotted to feature AI-generated content, with the report seeing as many as 40 false stories, but NewsBreak said that it takes down content or news containing inaccurate information.
