Ring security cameras get AI smarts to tell you what they are seeing

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-01 03:31:37

While the rush to AI–ify all the things gets exceedingly silly at times, adding intelligence to Ring security cameras does at least have the potential to be a smart move. The company has announced a beta version of Video Descriptions, which attempts to describe exactly what doorbell and other security cameras are seeing when notifying you … Amazon has just made the announcement. With Video Descriptions, you will see text descriptions of the motion activity your Ring doorbells and cameras see—

Ring's AI video descriptions tell you who's doing what

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-01 03:00:48

Here's a use of artificial intelligence that could be handy. Ring is adding AI-generated text descriptions of alerts. If it works well, a glance will be all it takes to tell whether something requires your attention. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff gave some examples of the new notifications. "A person is walking up the steps with a black dog" could tell you it's just the dog walker returning. Or, "Two people are peering into a white car in the driveway" could indicate it's time to call the fuzz.

Ring camera alerts are about to get a lot smarter

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2026-03-01 03:00:00

Ring cameras are getting an AI upgrade that can tell you what’s happening at your front door, as well as show you. Video Descriptions is a new feature that generates text descriptions of the motion activity on Ring doorbells and cameras. Now, instead of an alert that says “Front door: person detected,” you’ll get something like “person with broom and mop is leaving.” Or instead of “Living room: motion detected,” you might get “a dog is tearing up paper towels on the rug.” You can see how this w

Ring cameras and doorbells now use AI to provide specific descriptions of motion activity

techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2026-03-01 03:00:00

Amazon-owned Ring announced on Wednesday that it’s introducing a new AI-powered feature to its doorbells and cameras, which offers users specific text descriptions of current motion activity. Now, when users receive real-time notifications about happenings at their property, the updates will be more descriptive. For instance, “A person is walking up the steps with a black dog,” or “Two individuals are looking into a white car parked in the driveway.” The feature aims to improve upon the vague

An intelligent, practical path to reindustrialization

technologyreview.com Sally Kornbluth 2026-03-02 08:00:00

Then, a little over a decade ago, MIT’s “Production in the Innovation Economy” initiative highlighted the opportunities we miss if design and manufacturing teams are miles or even oceans apart—and played a significant role in shaping the nation’s Advanced Manufacturing Initiative. Building on this legacy, and in response to an urgent national interest in restoring America’s manufacturing strength, an inspired group of MIT faculty came together in 2022 to found the Manufacturing@MIT Working Grou

This feature will enable access to apps and media across your devices, and even sync notifications between them. Apple has a similar Continuity feature called Handoff, albeit without notification syncing. Last week, we spotted an in-development “App Cast” tool within Google Play Services.

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-05 03:34:11

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA

How to Clean Hearing Aids

You can also use this tool to gently brush the tip of the dome of each eartip, where wax is most likely to accumulate. If any tenacious wax is stuck to the tip of the dome, try using the wire loop on the reverse of the brush to gently scoop it out. Next, check the back of the receiver, where the wire attaches to it, and brush this area as well. You can use a microfiber cloth to remove any material that is dislodged during this step.
