AI can crack passwords in less than a minute
A recent study by Home Security Heroes found that more than 50% of commonly used passwords can be cracked by artificial intelligence (AI) in less than a minute.
In this study, we used an AI password cracker called PassGAN to test a list of 15,680,000 passwords and found that nearly 51% of common passwords can be cracked within 1 minute, and 65% of passwords can be cracked within 1 hour.
It turns out that you can. Additionally, the study also found that 81% of passwords could be cracked within a month.
The camera never lied… until artificial intelligence told it to.
Last month, an amateur photographer named “ibreakphotos” decided to experiment with Samsung phones to see how a feature called “Space Zoom” actually works.
First released in 2020, the feature claims a 100x zoom factor, and Samsung used sharp images of the moon in its marketing.
Ibreakphotos took pictures of the moon themselves, but they were blurry and lacked detail, and I watched my phone add craters and other details.
India reveals its first AI news anchor.
Experts say AI presenters could soon act as propaganda in India, where 200 million households have TVs.
A national media group has launched India’s first full-time virtual anchor, a bot called Sana. This bot displays news updates in multiple languages several times a day.
The AI-powered anchor will be featured on India Today Group’s news channel Aaj Tak.
At a launch event attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week, the group’s deputy leader Kali Pury said, “She is bright, beautiful, timeless and tireless.
“Among the hundreds of candidates evaluated for this job, she is very fortunate to have been selected to launch her anchor for Aaj Tak AI,” she said. and demonstrated their local language skills.

Govt to spend $200 million on AI, build better e-governance apps: Minister
India will spend about $200 million to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem that will make e-government platforms more accessible, said Electronics and Information Technology Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar at the Business Standard meeting in Bengaluru. Mentioned on TechTalk.
The country will prioritize the use of AI for the India Stack, the Digital India Basini Language Model, and healthcare governance applications. Chandrasekhar said on Friday that he would encourage the private sector and start-ups to develop use cases for his AI.

Meta releases AI tool that can animate drawings
The tool is open-source and comes with a dataset of 180,000 drawings that were used to train it.
The Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team at Meta AI is pleased to release Animated Drawings. This is an open source project aimed at enabling creators and developers to create their own draw-to-animation experiences and easy-to-build products. It all started in 2021 when researchers at FAIR decided to apply recent advances in computer vision into a fast and intuitive pipeline to animate human-like figures in character drawings.
Drawing is a familiar and fun way of expression, and the characters we draw as beginners are often surprisingly bizarre, abstract, and imaginative. Who wouldn’t want these adorable characters to come to life and move around the pages? There are even books and TV episodes that explore this universal fantasy. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to achieve this effect in practice. Creating many diagrams to give the illusion of movement can be tedious (such as flipbooks) and existing animation tools can be difficult for new users. As a result, many incredible characters remain static on the page.
