PRIVACY & SECURITY

Robot Vacuums Collect Photos and Audio to Train AI

Ecovacs Robotics is a Chinese company that makes robots for your home. It is best known for their robot vacuums. However, Ecovacs is recently reported privacy concerns because Ecovacs robot vacuums are collecting photos, videos, and voice recordings from people's homes to train their AI models.

  • Ecovacs's privacy policy allows for blanket collection of user data for research purposes, including 2D or 3D maps of users' homes, voice recordings, and photos/videos.
  • Ecovacs claims users are "willingly participating" in a product improvement program but the data collection is not explicitly stated.
  • A cybersecurity researcher discovered critical flaws in Ecovacs's security that could allow hackers to access sensitive data.
  • Though Ecovacs claims to anonymize data before uploading, a similar incident with iRobot in 2022 saw intimate photos leaked on social media, highlighting the potential for data misuse.

Meta's new Video Generator Can Dub and Edit

Text input summary: A woman is sitting on the grass of a pumpkin patch. She is wearing a scarf and holding a cup. The background is filled with rows of pumpkins.

Meta has unveiled its new AI model, Movie Gen, which is a "storytelling suite of models" capable of generating high-quality videos, audio, and editing existing videos with human-like precision. This new model represents a significant leap forward in the field of media generation, surpassing previous models in its capabilities and realism.

  • Movie Gen can generate videos up to 16 seconds long, including clips based on people's photos, and it preserves human identity and motion.
  • Movie Gen can precisely edit videos by adding, removing, or replacing elements, modifying backgrounds and styles, and achieving high-level editing tasks.
  • Movie Gen can produce high-fidelity audio, including environmental sounds, sound effects, and background music, synchronized with video content.
  • While OpenAI's Sora has been under development, Movie Gen has already demonstrated significant capabilities, including audio generation and editing features. It is unclear whether Meta will follow the same open-source approach as with Llama models, but Movie Gen's powerful features have generated much excitement and anticipation within the AI community.
