Photoshop has been steadily adding AI-powered tools to its menus in recent years, but an incredible new demo from an independent research team shows where the best photo editors are heading next. DragGAN may not be a fully-fledged consumer product yet, but the research paper (picked up on Twitter by AI researchers @_akhaliq and @icreatelife)…
Europe’s GDPR has just dealt its biggest hammer blow yet. Almost exactly five years since the continent’s strict data rules came into force, Meta has been hit with a colossal €1.2 billion fine ($1.3 billion) for sending data about hundreds of millions of Europeans to the United States, where weaker privacy rules open it up…
Next, you need to download Auto-GPT from GitHub: Follow the link to the latest release and download the zip file you find there. When you’ve unzipped the archive, duplicate the file called .env.template, rename it as .env, and open it in a text editor.

New York City, Los Angeles Unified, Seattle, and Baltimore School Districts either banned or blocked access to generative AI tools, fearing that ChatGPT, Bard, and other content generation sites could tempt students to cheat on assignments, induce…
This week, US senators heard alarming testimony suggesting that unchecked AI could steal jobs, spread misinformation, and generally “go quite wrong,” in the words of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (whatever that means).

It’s been said before, but now it feels real: the sun is setting on DSLRs. In fact, it’s twilight. I write this after news from a leading medium format supplier and Phase One partner Capture Integration (opens in new tab), detailing that Hasselblad has discontinued its production of H System medium format DSLRs.

Another change urged by lawmakers and industry witnesses alike was requiring disclosure to inform people when they’re conversing with a language model and not a human, or when AI technology makes important decisions with life-changing consequences.
