Qualcomm At Mobile World Congress 2024, Qualcomm is adding more to its portfolio of AI-on-phone tricks facilitated by the Snapdragon series silicon for Android phones.  The chipmaker has already showcased some impressive AI capabilities for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship, such as voice-activated media editing, on-device image generation using Stable Diffusion, and a smarter virtual assistant built atop large language models from the likes of Meta. Today, the company is adding more grunt to those AI superpowers.…

Stability AI, the startup behind Stable Diffusion, the tool that uses generative AI to create images from text prompts, revealed Stable Diffusion 3, a next-generation model, on Thursday. Stability AI claimed that the new model, which isn’t widely available yet, improves image quality, works better with prompts containing multiple subjects, and can more accurate text as part of the generated image, something that previous Stable Diffusion models weren’t great at.Stability AI CEO Emad Mosque posted some examples of this on…

Google’s AI chatbot Gemini has a unique problem. It has a hard time producing pictures of white people, often turning Vikings, founding fathers, and Canadian hockey players into people of color. This sparked outrage from the anti-woke community, claiming racism against white people. Today, Google acknowledged Gemini’s error.Did Elon Musk Regret Buying Twitter? | Walter Isaacson Interview“We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately,” said Google Communications in a statement. “Gemini’s AI image…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends “Look, dude, I don’t know how they are going to manage the costs of licensing from AI companies and cloud partnerships, among other associated factors. Nothing comes free.” That’s what a machine learning engineer told me a few days ago when I explained to him how Qualcomm and MediaTek are bringing some neat generative AI tricks to phones. Well, Samsung has confirmed those fears and quietly dropped the bombshell that at least some of its snazzy AI tricks for the Galaxy S24 series phones…

An artist who shook up the cultural world with a haunting female portrait created by artificial intelligence (AI) has decided she's had enough of the new technology for now. Working with AI to create art is ultimately "very frustrating and very limiting," Swedish-based artist and writer Supercomposite told AFP. For the moment, she has stopped working with AI and is writing a screenplay instead, saying her experience with AI art left her "burned out"."It creates this dopamine path in your brain. It's very addictive to…

As far as AI art generators are concerned, not all of them are built the same way. Today, users have a wide range of choices to create their own AI-generated images through platforms such as DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and even the AI Generative Fill tool in Photoshop. However, mastering these platforms takes time and effort, and getting your desired results without understanding various tools and filters can be tricky. However, if you're in search of an easy-to-use platform, you would be more benefitted by…

Researchers from the Stanford Internet Observatory say that a dataset used to train AI image generation tools contains at least 1,008 validated instances of child sexual abuse material. The Stanford researchers note that the presence of CSAM in the dataset could allow AI models that were trained on the data to generate new and even realistic instances of CSAM.LAION, the non-profit that created the dataset, told that it "has a zero tolerance policy for illegal content and in an abundance of caution, we are temporarily…

Snapchat Plus subscribers are getting new AI features. Snapchat was one of the social media platforms that jumped on the AI race very early and became the first such platform to bring an AI chatbot to it after it debuted My AI in April 2023. Now, Snapchat is taking the AI experience one step further and will be allowing users to create and share AI-generated images, just like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. Alongside, it is also bringing another cool AI feature that can fix your poorly cropped photos.Snapchat…

The MLX framework was released on GitHub amid the generative AI storm. While mostly staying out of the generative AI competition, Apple has released an open source array framework on GitHub for building machine learning transformer language models and text generation AI on the company’s own silicon. Jump to: What is Apple’s MLX framework? MLX is a set of tools for developers who are building AI models, including transformer language model training, large-scale text generation, text fine-tuning,…
