I’m pretty sure you all know by now that AI-generated faces are a thing. After all, we’ve already reached the stage where we can describe something in words and AI turns it into a photo or a video in seconds. So, it’s not surprising that AI portraits have found their purpose, and it’s even less surprising that it’s – deceptive.

A recent report shows that companies are using fake AI-generated portraits on their “About Us” pages. “Why,” you may wonder. Well, apparently, they do it to look more professional and to make their companies look bigger than they are.

NVIDIA’s GauGAN AI landscape generator can now create scenes from scratch from written descriptions

NVIDIA has been doing a lot of cool stuff with AI. One of those things is GauGAN AI, something of a predecessor to NVIDIA’s Canvas application, which we checked out here when I tried to recreate some of my landscape photographs with it. Well, GauGAN2 is here now and it’s gotten smarter. Way smarter. You don’t just paint coloured pixels where you want things to be anymore. Oh no, now it actually understands what you say!

And unlike Canvas, which is free to download but limited to those with an NVIDIA RTX GPU, anybody can have a go and play with GauGAN2 through its handy web interface.

We tried recreating landscape photos with AI using NVIDIA Canvas

The whole concept of AI has always been quite fascinating to me. Not so much the whole end of the world Terminator stuff, but how AI relates to imagery. That a computer can generate somewhat realistic-looking images with very little input from the user is just mind-boggling.

One of the companies at the forefront of AI imaging tech is NVIDIA. So, when NVIDIA reached out to me to ask if I’d like to test out the recently released NVIDIA Canvas and some of the AI-powered features in Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve on one of the also recently launched RTX Studio laptops, I jumped at the opportunity.

Nvidia has developed neural network that could revolutionise video streaming

One of the big problems with video, especially when watching it online, is the amount of bandwidth it often takes up. This problem of bitrates is particularly a problem when it comes to things like live streaming and video conferencing. Researchers at Nvidia think they’ve found a way around the limitations of existing video streaming codecs, though, with the development of a new neural network engine.

The new engine works by completely ignoring every traditional video codec out there in order to bring the amount of bandwidth required for video streaming down to a fraction of what it might normally use with something like h.264.

A team of researchers at Google has come up with really awesome use of all those photos of popular tourist spots. They’ve created an algorithm that takes those photos and turns them into realistic and very detailed 3D renderings. And the best of all is that it even edits out interfering objects and evens out the changes in lighting.
