This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 4, Nov 2023) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches, and Faith-based Social Ventures.
Meta continues to make progress in its AI ambitions, by releasing two new generative AI models, called Emu Video and Emu Edit (Emu as in, the bird Emu). And these two projects are meant to make your video generation process easy with just text prompts. While lots of tools in the market do the first part, which is video generation using text, not many of them do the second part that lets you edit an image with text. The previews that Meta has shown with these announcements are quite impressive. Let’s say you want to remove a particular object from your image. In most AI tools, you have to mark it or you have to circle it or something like that. In this tool, you can just say, remove the cat, remove the spot or something like that, and the AI understands what you’re saying, and it does the task for you. This could be useful in multiple scenarios and make your editing process much more simpler.
