🔥AI-Powered Video Editing Just Got a Major Upgrade

Researchers have just developed CoDeF, an open-sourced AI system that allows for seamless style transfers and editing across video frames.

CoDeF is a major breakthrough in video editing, offering superior consistency across video frames than other methods and is capable of tracking non-rigid objects like water and smog.

Here's how it works: CoDeF captures the static elements of a video with a reference image and tracks how this image changes or morphs over time to match each video frame. This allows for seamless style transfers and edits that are applied consistently across the entire video.

CoDeF is also capable of tracking key points without training, which means that it can be used to edit videos without having to manually label the key points. This makes it much easier to use than other AI-powered video editing systems.

The results are truly impressive. Check out some of the wild sample video outputs here:

CoDeF is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we edit videos. It could be used to create stunning visual effects for movies and TV shows, or to make educational videos more engaging.

You can already try it on Github, or check out and create some short videos using tools like Gen2.

The future of video editing is looking bright, thanks to AI systems like CoDeF. These systems are making it easier than ever to create stunning and engaging videos, and they're only going to get better with time.

👩‍⚖️AI Art Can't Be Copyrighted, Judge Rules

A federal judge has ruled that art created by artificial intelligence cannot be copyrighted. The decision, which was handed down by Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, was a victory for Stephen Thaler, a computer scientist who had filed a lawsuit in an attempt to copyright an image created by his AI system.

Thaler argued that his AI system was the "author" of the image and that it should therefore be entitled to copyright protection. However, Judge Howell disagreed, ruling that copyright law only protects works that are "created by a human being."

In her ruling, Judge Howell acknowledged that AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated and that it is capable of creating works that are indistinguishable from those created by humans. However, she said that copyright law is not designed to protect works created by machines.

"The Copyright Act was enacted to protect the fruits of human creativity," she wrote. "It was not enacted to protect the fruits of artificial intelligence."

Judge Howell's ruling is a significant setback for Thaler, but it is not the end of the road for AI art. Thaler has said that he plans to appeal the decision, and it is possible that the ruling could be overturned by a higher court.

In the meantime, the ruling is likely to have a chilling effect on the development of AI art. Many artists who use AI to create their work may now be hesitant to do so, for fear of having their work stolen or plagiarized.

The ruling also raises a number of interesting questions about the future of copyright law. As AI becomes more sophisticated, it is likely to create works that are increasingly indistinguishable from those created by humans. How will copyright law adapt to this new reality?

🤓 IBM study reveals: 40% of workforce may need AI reskilling

A new report from IBM estimates that 40% of the global workforce will need to "reskill" in the next three years as AI transforms business operations.

The report, which surveyed 3,000 executives and 21,000 workers, found that AI is already having a significant impact on the workplace. For example, 87% of executives said they view AI as enhancing rather than replacing roles. And, businesses that have adopted AI have seen their revenues boosted by 15%.

So, what skills do workers need to succeed in the age of AI? The report found that people skills are becoming increasingly important, as AI enables employees to accomplish more technical tasks with less training. Other important skills include problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking.

The report also warned that "AI won't replace people—but people who use AI will replace people who don't." This means that workers who are willing to learn new skills and embrace AI will be the ones who are most successful in the future.

If you're concerned about how AI will impact your job, don't worry. There are still plenty of opportunities for skilled workers in the AI-powered economy. But it's important to start planning now. Get the training you need to be an AI-enhanced worker, and you'll be well-positioned for success in the years to come.
