Deep Dive 🔍
  • Adobe’s Project Stardust: Revolutionary AI photo editor 🖼️ 

    Adobe is set to announce a new AI-powered photo editing tool called Project Stardust at the Adobe Max event. Stardust can automatically select objects to move, delete, or alter them — allowing easy edits without manual separation. 🖌️ The tool can also fill in missing backgrounds when items are removed or moved and generate new objects via text prompts. The real scoop drops at Adobe Max on Oct. 10. This AI evolution follows announcements from Canva and Google. 🎨 

  • Canva’s AI-powered design transformation ✨ 

    Canva has amplified its Magic Studio with fresh AI capabilities, including AI-made videos in collaboration with Runway. Users can now produce 18-second videos using text or images, and benefit from AI-facilitated translations, document-to-video conversions, and text-driven design templates. Canva Shield offers enterprise safety and a $200 million fund supports creators whose works train Canva's AI. The introduction of these features drew 65M new users last year, solidifying Canva's aim to empower every individual to be a creator. 🚀 

  • Open AI’s in-house chip strategy 🛠

    Open AI is considering producing its AI chips to counteract the current chip shortage and reliance on Nvidia's GPUs, which dominates 80% of the AI chip market. Although the company benefits from Microsoft's partnership, developing their AI chips could cut hardware costs, making AI expansion smoother. However, CEO Sam Altman acknowledges the challenges: it's a costly and intricate process, and even after buying a chip company, chip development would still take time.

  • Uber’s EU algorithmic transparency challenge 🚖 

    Uber's transparency commitment is challenged in the EU, triggered by two drivers' legal actions. Even as Uber faces potential fines, it secured a win in a case with another driver. The spotlight is on the EU's GDPR, demanding clarity on AI-based decisions. While some see Uber's reluctance as a shield for its business model, Uber mentions proprietary secrets. The verdict might redraw AI transparency guidelines for online platforms. ⚖️ 

  • Google DeepMind's vision for versatile robots 🤖

    Currently, most robots are task-specific. However, the next big leap is to develop multi-functional robots. Google's DeepMind has teamed up with 33 research entities to launch Open X-Embodiment, a vast database containing varied robotic demonstrations. 🤝 By making this database open-source, DeepMind aims to boost research collaboration and move closer to a future where robots can learn diverse tasks from shared experiences. 🌐
