| In a since-deleted blog post (for unknown reasons), Stability AI announced the launch of SDXL 0.9. | The next model of its prompt-based AI image generator, Stable Diffusion, is expected to produce much more photorealistic images. | Best of all, however, is the fact that it supposedly will be better at generating hands (we’ll believe it when we see it). | Stability AI says the new model is “a leap in creative use cases for generative AI imagery.” |

| | MARVEL | 🎥 ‘Secret Invasion’ AI drama |  | Source: Disney+ |
| Marvel Studios’ use of AI in the opening of Secret Invasion is next-level cool. However, soon after the episode aired, a report surfaced that the opening (created by AI) cost some people their jobs. | People were pissed. | Today, Method Studios released a statement noting that this isn’t the case: | “AI is just one tool among the array of tool sets our artists used. No artists’ jobs were replaced by incorporating these new tools.” | This is a great example of using AI to enhance- not replace, creative professionals. |

| A recent research paper published in Lancet Digital Health presents findings on a new AI application that doesn't require coding skills or high-cost hardware. | The study reveals that the application can accurately identify severe retinopathy of prematurity (childhood blindness disease) using images sourced from a diverse dataset from the UK, Brazil, and Egypt. | Researchers indicate that this AI model has the capability to diagnose severe retinopathy of prematurity using images captured with a different device than the one initially used to develop the model. |
