According to a 2023 American Perspectives Survey, men are more likely to experience loneliness than other adults and have fewer close friends. Over 27% of men said they have less than six friends, and over 39% experienced loneliness. The same applies to women around the globe. Recently, data from the chatbot company about people’s loneliness shocked everyone. Tesla also filed a patent in computer vision to improve this technology by integrating it with a 3D environment, and OpenAI invested money in the AI wearable company. Meta reportedly collaborated with many Hollywood stars to improve their upcoming AI projects using their voices. In this article, we will cover all the major AI updates from last week, trending AI tools, and new jobs in AI.

Tesla’s New Patent
The electric car company Tesla has patented AI-powered vision technology that allows autonomous robots to navigate their environment using cameras. The tech is designed to use a single neural network to process the camera data and convert the output into a detailed 3D environment without using any LIDAR. It divides the frame into 3D voxels, and using advanced algorithms, it predicts the occupancy, shape, and motion for each angle in real-time. This technology will be integrated into Tesla’s vehicle and their humanoid robot, “Optimus.”
