AI fast image generation
Google's new AI model, MobileDiffusion, is capable of generating high-quality images based on textual cues directly on your phone. MobileDiffusion is much smaller than DALL-E and Stable Diffusion, which require powerful computers to operate.
It is capable of generating 512x512 images in just about half a second on iOS and Android devices because its processing takes place on the device, not in the cloud.
Microsoft rolls out face verification
Microsoft has introduced a new facial recognition feature called Face Check for its Entra Verified ID digital identity platform.
Face Check allows organizations to match a user's selfie with their government ID or employee ID, providing additional security for sensitive operations like password resets.
OpenAI adds a new watermark
OpenAI is adding watermarks and metadata to images generated by DALL-E 3. These watermarks can help identify the source of an image by including detailed information about the AI system used to create it.
OpenAI is adding this metadata invisibly to the images, following the standards of the Content Origin and Authenticity Alliance (C2PA).
