OpenAI and Figure AI have showcased a new visual language model, Figure 01, which employs "speech-to-speech" analysis through OpenAI's VLM. Unlike previous AI technologies, Figure 01 can understand images and texts, responding naturally in voice conversations. It utilizes a neural net to refine its responses and code dynamically. The interaction in the video illustrates the robot's ability to perceive its environment and respond accordingly , mimicking human-like behavior. Tow Reporters from BBC discuss the significance of this advancement, highlighting its potential for creating empathetic connections and the ethical implications of designing robots to appear and sound human.
