Why, hello there, and welcome to your Tuesday Daily Crunch. I’ll be your host this week while Haje works from an undisclosed location where day is night and night is day. If you aren’t enjoying today’s Found podcast about tampons, we hope you at least saw stars at the TC Sessions: Space event. Let’s dig into some news! — Christine.
The new guidelines provide restrictions and regulations for creators submitting art.
Adobe has now started accepting AI-generated stock images on its platform, but with regulations. The company updated its guidelines.

Adobe Stock, a global marketplace with over 320 million creative assets, has defined new guidelines for submissions of illustrations developed with generative AI — expanding how customers enhance their creative projects. Early generative AI technologies have raised questions about how it should be properly used. Adobe has deeply considered these questions and implemented a new submission policy that we believe will ensure our content uses AI technology responsibly by creators and customers alike.
Generative AI is a major leap forward for creators, leveraging machine learning’s incredible power to ideate faster by developing imagery using words, sketches, and gestures. Adobe Stock contributors are using AI tools and technologies to diversify their portfolios, expand their creativity, and increase their earning potential. Going forward, these submissions must meet our guidelines for AI generated content, notably including our ask that contributors label generative AI submissions.
It can be specifically useful in the robotics and manufacturing industries.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, use ultrasound waves to move objects hands-free, according to an institutional press release.
It has been shown in previous studies that objects can be manipulated with light and sound waves, too. But the objects in question were always far smaller than the wavelengths of either light or sound or on the order of millimeters to nanometers.
The car will allegedly have less ambitious self-driving capabilities initially and it’s debut date has been pushed back to 2026.
Apple’s ambitious electric vehicle (EV) will allegedly have fewer self-driving capabilities for its launch date, the latter of which has been pushed back by a year, from 2025 to 2026, according to a Bloomberg.
The car is still in the pipeline and is reported to be set up with more conventional car features and designs than other autonomous EVs.

The company’s ambitious self-driving car plans seem to chop and change at a whim but at least it’ll cost under $100,000 when it’s finally on the market.
The application has registered one million plus downloads since its launch.
Inquiries for OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a dialogue-based AI chatbot, are going through the roof. The rising interest in the application can be attributed to some of its entertaining responses to users’ queries, which has lately created a storm on Twitter.
ChatGPT is not your typical chatbot featured in every customer service portal corner.

The new offering by the California-based firm has already crossed one million users in a short period. Open AI had recently succeeded with DALL-E 2, an AI system that creates realistic images from user prompts in natural language.
The merged computing power can give rise to faster and more accurate machine learning applications.
Last month, LUMI, the fastest supercomputer in Europe, was connected to HELMI, Finland’s first quantum computer, a five-qubit system operational since 2021. This makes Finland the first country in Europe to have created such a hybrid system — it is one of the few countries worldwide to have done the same.
LUMI is famous — the supercomputer ranks third in the latest Top 500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputer and can carry out 309 petaflops. LUMI, too became operational in 2021.
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland worked with CSC and Aalto University, within the Finnish Quantum Computing Infrastructure framework, to make the connection between the computers, according to a release.
Canva launched Canva Docs in an open beta today, a cloud-based hybrid of a word processor and publishing tool. In addition, Canva Docs will be adding “Magic Write,” a generative AI copywriting tool.
Interested users can check out the beta here.
Canva’s latest move aims to diversify the company beyond graphic design and into other areas of marketing and communications. The company added Whiteboards in August, which some have compared to Miro. The Canva tool can also be used to create presentations and edit video.
It seems that Sony is about to take place in the humanoid robot race.
On Tuesday, Sony Group Corporation, the famous Japanese electronics and media conglomerate, claimed that once it determines the best applications for humanoid robots, it can produce them swiftly. For those waiting for “real” humanoid robots for decades, such news will be a treat for their ears.
“In terms of technology, several companies in the world including this one have enough technology accumulated to make them swiftly once it becomes clear which usage is promising,” Sony Chief Technology Officer Hiroaki Kitano told Reuters in an interview.
The deluge of sensors and data generating devices has driven a paradigm shift in modern computing from arithmetic-logic centric to data-centric processing. Data-centric processing require innovations at the device level to enable novel compute-in-memory (CIM) operations. A key challenge in the construction of CIM architectures is the conflicting trade-off between the performance and their flexibility for various essential data operations. Here, we present a transistor-free CIM architecture that permits storage, search, and neural network operations on sub-50 nm thick Aluminum Scandium Nitride ferroelectric diodes (FeDs). Our circuit designs and devices can be directly integrated on top of Silicon microprocessors in a scalable process. By leveraging the field-programmability, nonvolatility, and nonlinearity of FeDs, search operations are demonstrated with a cell footprint 0.12 μm2 when p.

How soon will we be seeing robots walking about the street? How soon will robots join medical staff in hospitals and aid real people in life or death situations? How soon will robots replace health staff? The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that we will see a global shortfall of 12 million health workers by 2025.
From lifting patients and delivering lab samples, to cleaning and providing companionship, care robots can help with a range of tasks across a hospital or care setting. With nurses spending up to a third of their shift on menial tasks such as collecting equipment, the expectation is that care robots will be able to take ownership of these more mundane jobs, letting health staff focus on more important tasks.
