🧪 Runway ALEPH (Next-Gen AI for Visual Understanding)
Runway has unveiled ALEPH, a new direction for their research in foundation models for video, text, and image understanding.
Runway is demonstrating a vision that goes beyond generative visuals. ALEPH will reason and align in depth across modalities.
🧠 Meta’s Surface EMG (Controlling AR with Muscle Signals)
Meta Reality Labs published new research that shows how EMG (Electromyography) can read your muscle signals to control AR glasses.
Think of it as a wristband that reads your intentions, still early in the stages of development but it points to ultra-intuitive interfaces for future wearables .
📚 Bonus Pick: WhoFi and the Rise of Wi-Fi Biometrics
Proposition: Non-invasive security, foot traffic analytics, or smart automation.
Implications: Privacy advocates argue these systems may affect the line between passive sensing and surveillance, especially when people are unaware they are being monitored.
As WhoFi and similar devices enter retail stores, public libraries, and offices, the debate grows more contentious: where do we draw the line between innovation and surveillance?
