Hume AI Voice-Controls Computer. A comprehensive roundup of last week's AI news. Let’s go! < ![endif]--> 🔦 Last Week In AI🔦 Unpaid Artists Expose OpenAI's Sora Sora beta testers temporarily leaked OpenAI's unreleased text-to-video AI model in protest, claiming exploitation as unpaid testers. The three-hour leak on Hugging Face exposed the tool to public access, with 20 artists demanding fair compensation given OpenAI's $150 billion valuation. The details: Sora is OpenAI's unreleased text-to-video generation model capable of creating minute-long, high-fidelity videos. OpenAI has temporarily suspended all user access to Sora while investigating the incident. The company maintains that participation in testing is voluntary, with no obligation to provide feedback. Why it matters: The incident highlights tensions over fair compensation for artists in AI development and raises questions about approval processes and content control. This controversy could delay Sora's public release while OpenAI addresses both ethical and technical concerns. Hume AI Voice-Controls Computer Hume AI demonstrated voice-controlled computer operation by combining their EVI technology with Anthropic's Computer Use feature, showcasing the capability through a hands-free chess game demonstration. The details: Integration combines EVI 2's voice processing with Claude's Computer Use feature. System has processed over 2 million minutes of AI voice conversations. Currently in beta testing with major tech companies including Replit, Asana, and Canva. Why it matters: This breakthrough could transform how we interact with computers, as major tech companies compete to make voice control the primary interface for both personal and enterprise computing.     News📰 1.
