AI generated music
I’m just catching up on some of the hyped AI apps from the last week or so. One that’s got a lot of attention is music generator Udio. I’ve had a quick play with it, and it’s fun and easy to use. I think the results are perfectly serviceable for some use cases. Basic music…

DIY LLMs – how much would it cost?
I quite often get people ask if we could train our own LLM, and therefore get a more trustworthy or accurate model. A sensible question, although i’m always careful to explain that this won’t remove ‘hallucinations’. Anyway I thought I’d go into some of the detail around costing, as when I mention GPUs are expensive…

Jisc Digifest 2024
I’m just back from a fantastic couple of days at Jisc’s Digifest in Birmingham. Thanks everyone who came and talked to us or came to our sessions! I’d loved to have got to more sessions – so much to see, and I’m looking forward to catching up with more online. A great opening keynote from Tessa Cramer –…

AI Image Generation and Copyright.
Two quite different but also highly related blog posted around AI from Jisc AI team today. We think that having an understanding of the broad issues around AI is an important part of AI literacy, and both blog posts explore challenges, issues and concerns as well as the upsides. The first is an excellent post…

More on deepfakes and cloning.
A small update to my previous blog post – the video below is me in the Jisc London office, talking about my cat. Cloned voice by Eleven Labs, Synced video by Sync Labs. I’ve written more on this on Jisc’s AI blog – Voice cloning, AI twins and deepfakes: threat or useful tool? Or both?

Event: Can Artificial Intelligence be regulated and if so how
It always feels a bit odd to use the words ‘fascinating’ and ‘regulation’ in the same sentence, but that’s where we are, and last night I attended a Foundation for Science and Technology event at the Royal Society event ‘Can Artificial Intelligence be regulated and if so how’. A fantastic lineup of speakers, ably chaired…

Deepfake Michael
In my last post I talked about how I cloned my voice using Eleven Labs. I’ve now used Synclabs to put that audio to a video with me talking about something else entirely (actually my cat!). I know we’ve all seen examples of this before, but still, it’s kind of weird when you see yourself.…

Voice cloning
An article by ElevenLab on how they were looking to avoid their voice cloning software from being misused during the forthcoming elections got me intrigued as to how good it actually was. To clone your own voice you need to sign up for one of their plans – $1 for the first month, which I…

OpenAI’s Sora
Another day, another big AI announcement. This time OpenAI and Sora – their text to video tool. It’s got a lot of coverage, but isn’t widely available yet. The demos on the page look impressive, but seem fairly similar to those already available via Runway ML. If you are interested in exploring text to video…
