Europe plans to label AI-generated content

In this week's edition of The AI Breakdown, we have EU labeling AI content, Google updates Bard, Adobe Firefly for enterprise, and an open-source cutting edge autonomous AI agent framework.

Europe plans to label AI-generated content

The European Union is urging platforms to label AI-generated content, including deepfakes, as part of its efforts to combat disinformation. The EU wants technology to recognize AI content and clearly label it to users, aiming for immediate implementation. I think this is the right move, but what about stuff that is generated by AI, then edited heavily by a writer or artist, do you still label it as AI-generated?

Google updates Bard

Bard, an AI language model, has two significant updates. It is getting better at math problems and coding questions. Additionally, Google has just added a feature to allow users to export generated tables directly to Google Sheets—making budgeting and data analysis much easier and faster.

Adobe brings Firefly to the enterprise

Adobe is expanding its Firefly generative image generator to enterprise customers, allowing them to customize the model with their own branded assets—and they are also working on a feature for AI-generated marketing copy. If I were running a marketing agency, I would be drooling over this stuff; the speed at which you can complete jobs would be cut in half.

🌎 Around the Web

Here are some interesting stories and tools that caught our attention this week:

• StyleDrop: Text-To-Image Generation in Any Style (link)

• Uncrop: Basically Photoshop’s generative fill for free (link)

• Supabase Vector: The open source Vector Toolkit for Postgres (link)

• Formula God: Talk to sheets with built-in artificial intelligence (link)

• AI Spend: Monitor your OpenAI API costs (link)

🛠️ The Best Open Source Tools

If you haven't tried out an AI agent yet, this is worth a test. This technology is very cutting edge, but I would guess that some version of it will shape how we do things digitally in the future. It could be used for building apps, booking trips, and automating scheduling for home/life tasks like groceries and house maintenance.

🎧 Listen Up!

This is a developer-focused podcast, but in this episode, the hosts interview Andrey Mishchenko about working at OpenAI and what the future holds for developers in an AI-driven world.
