As of right now, the internet is used to send 1,500 Petabytes of data every day. How much is a Petabyte you wonder? Well, it works out to 1,500,000,000 Gigabytes, every single day. That’s a lot of Netflix.

TODAY:

  • Photoshop just got way easier, thanks to AI.

  • AI can predict cancer treatment side effects.

  • Around the web: Tinder's new 'Share My Date' feature - will it boost safety?

AI DESIGN

Adobe is updating its Photoshop software with new AI tools through the Firefly Image 3 model - making it easier than ever to manipulate your favourite photos.

These tools are now available in the Photoshop beta app and will be released to all users later this year.

One standout feature is the Reference Image tool, which lets users upload an image to guide the AI in producing similar styles and colours.

This approach simplifies the design process by using images directly instead of detailed text prompts.

Adobe is also focusing on user responsibility for copyright, introducing a "do not train" tag under its Content Authenticity Initiative.

This ensures that the tool is safe for commercial use, with reference images not being used to train the AI.

Other new features in the beta include Generate Background and Enhance Detail, which improve backgrounds for product photos and revised sharpness, respectively.

The Generate Similar tool uses existing images to create new, similar content, and Generate Image allows for creating new images from text descriptions.

Try it on the web, too

Adobe’s latest Firefly model, is also available outside Photoshop through a web app, offering photorealistic quality with improved lighting and detail.

It's better at interpreting long text prompts and produces clearer text in images.

The updates include:

  • Adobe's new AI tools in Photoshop allow for easier and more intuitive design creation using direct image references.

  • Users are responsible for ensuring they have rights to the images used, with tools designed to ensure compliance and safety.

  • The updated Firefly model and new Photoshop tools improve image quality and creative flexibility, advancing the capabilities of image editing software.

Photoshop is also introducing standard tools like the Adjustment Brush for specific colour changes, a new Adjustment Presets for quick image edits, and an improved Font Browser with access to thousands of fonts directly in the app.

This is basically the "Describe a Movie Plot to Your Friend Who Hasn't Seen It" feature for design.

AI HEALTHCARE

Immunotherapy, approved in 2011, uses a patient's immune system to fight cancer.

It's effective for about 15% to 20% of patients but can cause severe side effects in 10% to 15%.

Now, GE HealthCare and Vanderbilt University Medical Center have developed an AI tool to improve the safety and effectiveness of immunotherapy.

This AI model, built over five years from extensive patient health records, identifies those likely to benefit from immunotherapy and predicts potential severe side effects.

Find out about the side effects in seconds

It analyses existing data like demographics, medical history, and lifestyle, which simplifies the process as no new tests are required.

Studies show the AI model is 70% to 80% accurate in predicting patient responses, aiding clinicians in making informed treatment decisions.

Dr. Marc Siegel noted the importance of AI in personalised medicine, allowing for tailored treatment plans and outcomes while remaining under professional management.

What it actually does:

  • AI helps customise immunotherapy, improving success rates and reducing risks.

  • The model uses available medical data, avoiding extra tests.

  • Continued development and approval could expand this AI's use to more medical areas, enhancing healthcare with technology.

This AI initiative not only aids in precise treatment decisions but also signals growth in healthcare technology, potentially entering a new era of medical precision.

Don’t Miss - Tinder is introducing a new safety feature called 'Share My Date' to enhance security for online daters. This feature allows users to share their location, the time of their date, and a photo of their match with friends and family. With Tinder being the most popular dating app in the world, the need for increased safety measures is significant, especially given the prevalent concerns around scams, stalking, and sexual assault among online daters.
