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.

The new concepts are part of the company’s initiative to get the aviation industry to net-zero by 2050.

Brazilian aerospace company Embraer announced new aircraft concepts this week to reduce carbon emissions. The new concepts would also help the aviation industry meet its net-zero climate goals by 2050, a company report explains.

The news comes a year after the company detailed the study of four new aircraft concepts powered by new technologies and renewable energies amid the backdrop of the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, which addressed what governments can do to avert the worst effects of climate change.

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 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 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.

The success of The Merge concept may now serve as a roadmap to enable a switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake in Bitcoin.

Ethereum, the world’s second-largest crypto asset by market cap, has drastically changed its energy usage, saving a country-size proportion of power consumption.

This radical update most likely reduced the power consumption of the crypto network by 99.84 percent to 9.99 percent, according to a paper published by peer-reviewed data-science journal Patterns on Tuesday.

Many believed Ingenuity would not soar to such heights.

NASA achieved a historic first in April last year when it performed the first-ever controlled flight of an aircraft on Mars. The Ingenuity helicopter, which hitched a ride to Mars aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover, was designed as a proof-of-concept craft that was only expected to fly a total of five times.

Now, the Mars helicopter has achieved flight no. 35, and it has set a new altitude record in the process, reaching a height of 14 meters (46 feet) above the red planet’s surface, NASA announced on Twitter.

Fragments of the DNA were found in an Ice Age sediment in Northern Greenland.

The discovery of two-million-year-old DNA has changed all the history that has been recorded so far. It revealed that we should go back one million years to understand Earth’s environment.

The results of the 41 usable samples were found hidden in clay and quartz.

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.
