Paul and Mike return, discussing three more hot topics in the world of artificial intelligence.
Adobe, along with many other innovators, has been experimenting with Generative AI. It is a transformational technology, one that will accelerate the ways artists brainstorm and explore creative avenues — and make creativity accessible to millions more people.
At the same time, like many new technologies, Generative AI has raised valid concerns. Among the questions: How is the work of creative people being used to train AI models? And how will we know whether something we see was created by a human or a computer?
Next, New York City-based CALA, a startup that bills itself as the “world’s first operating system for fashion,” offers a digital platform (including a mobile app launched in March) that allows creators to design and produce clothing lines, unifying the process from product ideation through order fulfillment. With the addition of DALL-E-powered text-to-image generating tools, users can generate new visual design ideas from natural text descriptions or uploaded reference images – which the company says are first-of-its-kind capabilities for the fashion industry.
And finally, Sequoia Capital just signaled that they’re all-in on generative AI. Sequoia is one of the best-known venture capital firms on the planet, with decades of experience investing in some of tech’s biggest names like Apple, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, and PayPal.
Recently, Sequoia published a post called “Generative AI: A Creative New World,” where they laid out their position on generative AI tools like Jasper, DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and others taking the world by storm.
