AI Is Being Built on Dated, Flawed Motion-Capture Data

Cars That Think

Over time, a variety of flawed assumptions have become codified into standards for motion-capture data that’s being used to design some AI-based technologies. Many researchers don’t have access to advanced motion-capture labs to collect data, so we’re increasingly relying on benchmarks and standards to build new tech,” Jacobs says.
