    See The Bizarre Image That Just Won An Inaugural AI-Art Award

    Forbes, 10/08/23. The inaugural Prompted Peculiar International AI Prize was awarded to Swedish photographer Annika Nordenskiöld for her black-and-white image titled “Twin Sisters in Love”. The unique photograph showcases two women embracing each other, as well as an octopus, which is an uncommon sight. Nordenskiöld achieved this highly unusual image with the help of AI. She partnered with an AI tool called Midjourney, which turns text phrases or prompts into hyper-realistic images using a database trained on visual art by humans. AI-generated art has previously sparked debates about whether machines can create authentic art, but competitions like this highlight the creative potential of AI. READ THE ARTICLE

    Spotify’s New AI Bet Could Be a Game Changer for Podcasting

    Motley Fool, 10/08/23. Spotify’s recent introduction of AI voice translation for podcasts could have significant implications for its business. With over 300 million users located in non-English-speaking markets, eliminating language barriers could vastly expand the potential podcast listener pool. This would not only benefit Spotify’s original and exclusive podcasts but also its advertising network, allowing advertisers to target specific audiences more effectively. However, investors should remain cautious as Spotify has yet to demonstrate consistent profitability and generate strong cash flow. Until its investments in podcasting show improved profitability, it may be prudent for investors to wait on the sidelines. READ THE ARTICLE
