# forck.live — 21–27 March 2022 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2022-W12, 21–27 March 2022, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2022-W12 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### LG AI Research — LG AI Research Opens ‘LG AI Research Center, Ann Arbor’ and Expands Global Research Ecosystem - Company: LG AI Research (lgresearch.ai) - Announced: 2022-03-23 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://www.lgresearch.ai/news/view?seq=195 - Record: https://forck.live/items/11075-lg-ai-research-opens-lg-ai-research-center-ann-arbor-and-expands-global - Subject: EXAONE LG AI Research opened the LG AI Research Center, Ann Arbor, in Michigan on March 22, its first global AI research base in North America, led by Chief Scientist Honglak Lee.
