TOP STORY
🗞️ Biden administration names director of new AI safety institute
DALL-E 3
The Biden administration named Elizabeth Kelly as the director of the new safety institute for AI.
The details:
Kelly played a major role in drafting Joe Biden’s AI executive order in October that established the institute.
By July, the institute will create a “red team” that tests major AI products to ensure safety for consumers and businesses.
A universal set of safety standards for AI companies will also be finalized this summer.
Why it matters: Regulation has failed to keep pace with AI innovation since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. Given the threats posed by AI-generated deepfakes in recent months, this is a significant step in the right direction.
AI TOOL OF THE DAY
🤖 Apple releases AI tool for image editing with text
Source: Apple
Apple researchers just released a new AI model that edit images through text prompts.
How it works:
Users can describe changes (crop, resize, flip or filter) to an image in plain language without manually using photo editing software.
The MGIE model can also “imagine” new objects (ex. “Make this pizza more healthy” would add vegetable toppings).
Apple has released MGIE on GitHub and Hugging Face according to VentureBeat.
Why it matters: AI image generation platforms like OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and Adobe Firefly can already perform simple photo editing tasks through text inputs. Apple’s new model opens the door to more complex tasks like changing the shape or brightness of an object.
