Leaked Pixel 8 Ads Reveal Exciting New AI Features

Google is gearing up to announce its latest flagship phone, the Pixel 8, at an event on October 4th. Thanks to some leaked marketing materials, we've got an early look at some of the nifty new and improved AI features coming to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro:

• Best Take - This feature lets you insert someone's face from another photo into a picture.

• Magic Eraser - Google's Magic Eraser feature, which lets you easily remove unwanted objects or people from photos, is getting an upgrade on the Pixel 8.

The leaked ads also gave us a sneak peek at the new first-party cases coming to the Pixel 8 line. They'll come in some fun, soft pastel colors like Rose, Mint, and Hazel.

For now, it looks like the Pixel 8 is shaping up to be a worthy upgrade, especially for photography enthusiasts who'll make good use of the boosted camera features.

MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT

Top Songwriters Embrace AI

The rise of AI has sparked debate in the music industry. Can machines really replace human creativity? Songwriters behind hits for Doja Cat, Jonas Brothers, and more shared their thoughts on AI.

Key Takeaways from the interview:

• AI can be a useful songwriting tool, helping to mimic an artist's voice or overcome writer's block. But it lacks human artistry and emotion.

• Some writers have used AI to advance ideas and fill in gaps. But they don't want to become too dependent on it.

• Hitmakers say organic songwriting from the heart is irreplaceable. AI lacks the life experience to draw upon.

• Overall, AI is seen as a complementary tool, but quality songwriting comes from human creativity. The craft shouldn't be overly simplified by technology.

AI RESEARCH

Artificial Intelligence Models Improve Aftershock Forecasting Accuracy

Three new papers describe deep-learning models that outperform conventional state-of-the-art models for forecasting earthquakes. The findings are preliminary and apply only to limited situations, but they represent a rare advance toward the goal of using machine learning to reduce seismic risk.

Details:

• New machine learning models trained on catalogs of past quakes can forecast the number and magnitude of aftershocks more accurately than existing models.

• Models developed by UC Berkeley, University of Bristol, and Tel Aviv University teams outperformed conventional methods when tested on real earthquake data.

• The AI-based forecasts could help warn communities dealing with ongoing aftershock sequences following destructive quakes.

AI won't replace preparation and protective measures but can make post-quake risk assessment more precise and, with more data and development, machine learning could become a standard part of seismic risk analysis.
