AI is beginning to transform the automotive design process by allowing designers to rapidly ideate, sketch and render new designs, experts say. Until recently, designers had to spend several weeks or months sketching before refining and rendering those images in 3D.  The experience can be frustrating for designers because of the immense manual labor required to produce dozens or hundreds of drawings that differ “in the tiniest ways,” said Alan Macey, an automotive design and brand consultant and…

YouTube is launching a new feature that will allow creators to use AI technology to generate custom instrumental backing music that can be added to their videos.

The latest to double down on that strategy is Canva. The company on Thursday said it is adding a suite of new AI features to its platform,…

AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other top AI labs are increasingly being used to assist with programming tasks. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in October that 25% of new code at the company is generated by AI, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed ambitions to widely deploy AI coding models within the social media giant. Yet even some of the best models today struggle to resolve software bugs that wouldn’t trip up experienced devs. A new study from Microsoft Research, Microsoft’s R&D division, reveals that models, including Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet and OpenAI’s o3-mini, fail to debug many…

International Business Machines recently experienced investor activism, with shareholder John Chevedden filing a proposal to increase transparency on lobbying practices. Despite this, IBM’s share price remained relatively flat over the last quarter. The company’s earnings report indicated modest revenue growth, coupled with a drop in net income and EPS, which could have weighed on its stock. Meanwhile, IBM’s ongoing product innovations and strategic alliances, like the introduction of cloud capabilities and AI collaborations, potentially countered the negative market trend. The broader market volatility driven by tariff uncertainties did not significantly impact IBM’s share performance against the tech sector. You should…
