Tennessee Bill to Make 'Offensive' Nonconsensual Photos Illegal
Tennessee state lawmakers working together with the Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office have introduced a bill to the state legislature that seeks to expand what is covered by “unlawful” photography. The new law focuses on a photographer’s supposed malicious intent. At present, the state law says that anyone out in public (even at such places as a gas station or supermarket) has no reasonable expectation of privacy, and as such nonconsensual photography is not illegal. But after the results of a case last year, there are attempts to expand what is deemed unlawful photography to...…Tennessee state lawmakers working together with the Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office have introduced a bill to the state legislature that seeks to expand what is covered by “unlawful” photography.

NVIDIA Uses AI to Slash Bandwidth on Video Calls
has invented a way to use AI to dramatically reduce video call bandwidth while simultaneously improving quality. What the researchers have achieved has remarkable results: by replacing the traditional h.264 video codec with a neural network, they have managed to reduce the required bandwidth for a video call by an order of magnitude. In one example, the required data rate fell from 97.28 KB/frame to a measly 0.1165 KB/frame – a reduction to 0.1% of required bandwidth. The mechanism behind AI-assisted video conferencing is breathtakingly simple. The technology works by replacing traditional...…has invented a way to use AI to dramatically reduce video call bandwidth while simultaneously improving quality.
