Adobe previews AI upscaling - Adobe's Project ResUp is a new AI-powered tool previewed at Adobe Max, aimed at upscaling low-resolution videos to high-definition quality. Leveraging machine learning, the tool self-learns intricate details from a low-res input video and intelligently enhances it into sharper, clearer footage. It can recognize and preserve specific textures, fine details, and object boundaries. While still in early development, Adobe's Project ResUp showcases the potential uses of AI in video upscaling, offering promise to professionals and enthusiasts in the AI and video production industries. read more

Project Glow - Adobe has upgraded its generative AI, called Project Glow, to create more realistic results. Project Glow was initially trained to modify brightness in photos, but struggled with images that had complex lighting or multiple light sources. The improved AI, trained with a broader dataset, can now handle these complexities. It can adjust different parts of an image independently, allowing for more nuanced and precise lighting changes. This upgrade demonstrates how AI can improve with more sophisticated training, yielding impressive results that can continuously enhance digital image editing.

AI for Better Graphic Design - Adobe has rolled out new AI models developed to enhance graphic design. The models, designed to simplify the creation process, offer automated cropping and layout suggestions, color palette recommendations, and text style suggestions. This is aimed at reducing tedious tasks and fostering creativity. The AI system can also learn user preferences over time, offering personalized recommendations. This update stands to benefit both amateur designers and professionals, providing them with AI-powered tools to make design work more efficient and high-quality.

As artificial intelligence ramps up in usage and profitability, two stocks stand out as particularly promising from an investment perspective - Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR). Nvidia's strength lies in its high-performance computing prowess, particularly in regards to GPUs. This has made Nvidia's GPUs indispensable in AI applications for data centers, autonomous vehicles, and robotics where vast amounts of data need to be processed rapidly.

Nvidia also offers an AI computing platform, which has gained significant traction amongst leading tech companies. The company's consistent revenue growth, coupled with the accelerating demand for AI technologies, makes it a compelling investment.

Meanwhile, Palantir, a big data analytics company, offers platforms that allow governments, law enforcement agencies, and corporations to analyze and interpret massive data sets. Its Gotham and Foundry platforms have been extensively used by various U.S. government agencies and large corporations for everything from cyber defense to pharmaceutical research. Like Nvidia, Palantir has achieved consistent revenue growth.

Both Nvidia and Palantir have intersecting interests in AI and big data, and their products and services are increasingly critical in a data-driven world. Their stocks could be a good investment for those interested in the AI and tech sector. However, potential investors should always carry out their research and consider their risk tolerance before investing. - full article

Let’s look at a particularly special advancement in AI image recognition tools, particularly those designed to assist blind and visually-impaired individuals. A key tool, dubbed Lookout, has been developed by Google and uses machine learning to identify objects, text, and people in the user's environment, then relay this information verbally. Microsoft has a similar tool called Seeing AI and the social media platform, Facebook, has developed an algorithm that can describe photos to users. However, these tools remain imperfect - struggling with complex scenes, unusual objects, and failing at identifying context. Researchers are now focusing on improving these systems by training AI to ask clarifying questions, an approach that has proven successful in experimental setups. Despite their current limitations, these AI tools are greatly improving accessibility for visually impaired individuals by providing detailed visual information through audio cues. source
