AI supplementary frame - make the movie silky and smooth like hair

Duration: 0:09:54

In this video, the topic is how to increase the frame rate of movies. Currently, most movies and TV shows are shot using 24 to 30 frames per second (fps), which is considered the standard. Our eyes can perceive up to 12 independent images per second, and the brain perceives anything above that as motion. Modern movies using 24 fps are smooth, but older movies shot at lower fps (e.g. 16) look sped up when played at 24 fps. To fix this, frames can be inserted in post-production or the footage can be re-shot.

Duration: 0:47:50

Recently, the US President Joe Biden signed the chip and science bill, providing more than $521 billion in funding support for US computer chip production companies. While the CEO of Intel claimed it was the most significant industrial policy since World War II, some people believe the chip program may not be as effective as imagined due to the funds-intensive nature of chip manufacturing. In this podcast, two industry experts discuss the law from different perspectives, including production, manufacturing, and R&D design. They also highlight the law's beneficiaries, including companies such as Intel and Micron. Additionally, the law supports scientific research and education, with a focus on artificial intelligence, 6G communication, and quantum computing.

Insurance 2030 - What will AI-enabled insurance look like?

Duration: 0:07:15

In this episode of Comprehensive AI, host Yuxuan discusses the topic of insurance. While some people, like his friend Laoli, enjoy having insurance, others find the policies and claims process too complicated.

Insurance products require manual claims processing and offline inspections, making the industry at least a decade behind banking, according to some media reports.
