š£ļø Metaās new translator can speak - and write - in 100 different languages
Translation at scale is a notoriously difficult engineering problem, especially across different mediums. One model can translate text to speech, but canāt necessarily translate speech to text.
But Metaās new AI translation model, SeamlessM4T, can translate 100 languages for speech-to-text and text-to-text, and speech-to-speech. And the model can turn text into speech for 36 different languages.
An incredible amount of data went into this undertaking. Meta mined "tens of billions of sentences" and "four million hours" of speech from publicly available sources to "automatically align more than 443,000 hours of speech with texts, and create about 29,000 hours of speech-to-speech alignments," according to the companyās blog.
This model showcases the power of AI. The manual workload to examine and compile the above data, and make it usable for translation, would have been decades.

Can AI-generated music infringe on copyrights? The short answer is yes.
YouTube is embracing AI-generated music, but the company is also being cautious to hedge against potential copyright battles.
YouTube and partners like Universal Music Group (UMG) announced some guiding principles for copyright policies around AI-generated music. But their exact policies arenāt exactly clear yet.
YouTubeās new Music AI Incubator will be the testing ground for AI-generated music, which will help determine the policies.
What we do know is that YouTube will model their new policy after their current system, which allows the rightful copyright owner to make a copyright claim against any video uploaded by another user and receive the monetization proceeds.
In other words, similar copyright rules apply whether content was generated by AI or not.

Snapchat is taking selfies to the next level. Their upcoming AI feature, called āDreamsā, will create generative AI photos of you and your friends.
Snap can take photos of you and friends and generate new images with āfantasticalā imaginary backgrounds and settings.
Now you wonāt even need to leave the house to show everyone that youāre doing something cool, like partying at a club or climbing Mount Everest.
But youāll need your friendsā permission to include them in your imaginary Dreams photos.
