Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…

While OpenAI’s Sora had often felt like the top of the pile when it comes to the best generative AI video tools, there are seemingly fresh models rolling out every day that make it a much closer-fought race than you may have anticipated.One of the biggest rivals to Sora is Kling, which is now into its second iteration with the helpfully-titled Kling 2.0. The video generator, from Chinese company Kuaishou, is dubbed the “world’s most powerful” model of its kind, and features a fresh interface and significantly more accurate animation than its predecessor.I’ve been taking a look across social media…

Analysts look down the back of the sofa Nvidia’s stock has been in freefall, shedding more than $250 billion in market cap this week after it revealed a $5.5 billion charge tied to US export restrictions on its H20 AI chips to China. According to Investopedia Morgan Stanley analysts slashed their revenue forecasts, warning that the new curbs are “more disruptive” than anticipated, with an expected 8 to 9 per cent hit to Nvidia’s data centre revenues over the next few quarters . The Street quoted Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives saying the current mess is a “strategic blow” for Nvidia, noting…
Ensuring the ethical deployment of text-to-image models requires effective techniques to prevent the generation of harmful or inappropriate content. While concept erasure methods offer a promising solution, existing finetuning-based approaches suffer from notable limitations. Anchor-free methods risk disrupting sampling trajectories, leading to visual artifacts, while anchor-based methods rely on the heuristic selection of anchor concepts. To overcome these shortcomings, we introduce a finetuning framework, dubbed ANT, which Automatically guides deNoising Trajectories to avoid unwanted concepts. ANT is built on a key insight: reversing the condition direction of classifier-free guidance during mid-to-late denoising stages enables precise content modification without sacrificing early-stage…
Robert Legato – the respected VFX innovator who won Oscars for “Titanic,” “Hugo” and “The Jungle Book” – has joined Stability AI at chief pipeline architect. In doing so, he reteams with James Cameron, an influential board member for the AI firm.

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…
