Daily AI News Podcast: Tuesday October 15, 2024 - Adobe Max Announcements & Microsoft Loses VP of GenAI

This week Adobe launched several new AI features across its Creative Cloud apps, including automatic background distraction removal in Photoshop, a more powerful Firefly generative AI model across apps, and a new "Objects on Path" feature in Illustrator. The new Remove Tool in Photoshop uses generative AI to identify and remove unwanted objects, such as people, wires, and cables, with a single click. Photoshop's Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Generate Similar, and Generate Background tools have also been updated with the latest Firefly Image 3 Model for improved variety and photorealistic quality. In addition, Illustrator's Mockup tool for staging designs on a 3D model is now widely available, and the Image Trace feature has been improved to create crisper vectorized outputs. InDesign users can now use the Generative Expand tool to extend images, and Premiere Pro users can experiment with the new Generative Extend feature powered by Adobe's Firefly AI Video Model.
