Adobe Mulls Adding Third-Party AI Tools to Video Tools

Earlier this week, Adobe announced that it was considering adding third-party artificial intelligence (AI) tools to its video offerings. The software manufacturer’s Premiere Pro app is commonly used in the film and television industries. Adobe plans to add various artificial intelligence-based features to the Premiere application, including the ability to eliminate distractions from a scene without a video editor needing to do any taxing work or fill in scene parts with objects generated by artificial intelligence. Both features will depend on Firefly, an artificial intelligence model that the software maker has already deployed in its Photoshop offering. Other features on…

Ukraine Is Using AI-Supported Drones to Sabotage Russian Energy Systems

Ukraine is using artificial intelligence-assisted drones to fight back against Russia's much larger war machine by sabotaging the country's critical energy systems. When Russia first invaded Ukraine in February 2022, many experts assumed the conflict would be a short affair with Russia coming out on top. The Kremlin has a significantly larger army, deeper pockets and more energy reserves than needed to fight a relatively small country such as Ukraine. Or at least that’s what people thought, with many pundits predicting that Ukraine would fall in a few weeks to months at most. However, with ingenuity born of desperation and…
