👾 Stability AI’s New Release 

Meet Stability AI, the world’s leading open source artificial intelligence platform. Yesterday they released (SDK) a new text-to-animation tool for developers and AI artists.

This tool is going to shake up the animation industry. Anyone can now turn a text into animation, a video into animation, or an image into animation in seconds. If you feel your creative juices flowing, then give it a try on their Discord server here: (link)

This allows for a wide range of animations, and the tool is compatible with all Stable Diffusion models, including Stable Diffusion 2.0 and Stable Diffusion XL.

Soon we will be able to create our own Anime movies with simple text… maybe

🇪🇺 Is Europe Against AI

Yes and no, The European Union’s “Artificial Intelligence Act” is heating up with new advancements through the legal process. This act is mainly to establish boundaries and regulations for AI models, which will be labeled on a risk scale.

The scale will be comprised of 4 levels, with “minimal” being the lowest and “unacceptable” at the top. Violations of this act can result in a fine of up to ($33 million) or up to 6% of a company’s annual revenue.

Certain applications will receive an outright ban, like any application regarding real facial recognition or predictive policing tools. What surprised me the most about this act is that Chat GPT is barely mentioned in the 108 pages of legislation. Is the EU a fan?

🏖 Meta is back at it again

Yesterday, Meta announced AI Sandbox, a new tool to assist advertisers in creating and tailoring ad campaigns for Facebook and Instagram. Share this with your marketing head for a raise 😉.

The Sandbox is the destination for brands and advertisers to test out the capabilities of generative AI. The Sandbox will enable advertisers to create different branded messages for different audiences using the same ad image, and generate original images inside of the tool

Meta has said that they want to begin using generative AI in ads, and this is a great step towards that goal. Only select advertisers have access to the Sandbox right now, with plans for wider access in July.
