Artificial intelligence-powered (AI) image generators have exploded in popularity and apps like DALL-E, Midjourney, and more recently Stable Diffusion are exciting and tantalizing technology enthusiasts.
What a week it has been for the world's largest photo-sharing app, although we are not sure if we can still call it that. Instagram, and its parent company Meta, has hit the headlines every day, and frankly, it has been a bit of a mess.
Instagram and Facebook are going to show even more posts from accounts that users do not follow -- after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company plans to "more than double" the amount of "recommended" content that appears in users' feeds by the end of next year.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can use a person's brainwaves to see around corners and create images of objects the human eye can not directly see.
A photographer says he has tricked the Instagram algorithm into once again pushing his photos by leveraging the platform’s preference for Reels to his advantage.
According to a new report, Facebook has decided to make its feed feel more like TikTok in an attempt to better compete against what has become the biggest threat to the social media giant's bottom line.
An algorithm that was originally developed to map the stars is also used to track whale sharks for the sake of conservation efforts.
A pair of Stanford University astrophysicists have proposed a new way to use gravitational lensing that would be up to 1,000 times more precise than current methods. The hope is to use the concept to take better photos of distant planets.
In good news for photographers who post their own images, Instagram are planning to tweak its algorithm to "value original content more."
Photographs are made with the help of light, but what if portraits of people could be made with the sound of their voices? AI researchers have been working on reconstructing the face of a person using only a short audio recording of that person speaking, and the results are eerily impressive.
A new report found that Facebook was accidentally elevating harmful content for the past six months instead of suppressing it. A second report found that its internal policies may have resulted in the underreporting of photos of child abuse.
Researchers from Cornell University have designed a photo-taking robot that understands aesthetically pleasing composition. It already excels at photos for Real Estate or AirBNB, but could be trained to use its skills anywhere.
A new bipartisan bill has been introduced into the United States Senate that takes aim at algorithmic-based feeds like those on Facebook and Instagram. The bill would direct two government agencies to investigate ways to add friction to content sharing.
Instagram, still scrambling to recover its public image amid repeated reports that its product is dangerous for young people, will push "potentially harmful" content farther down a user's feed, but won't hide it entirely.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers has introduced a new bill that would make it mandatory for services that use algorithms to serve content to offer a version that allows users to turn that feature off.
A new report shows that Instagram is working on a new Favorites feature that will make it possible to tell the app what content it should prioritize.
Instagram is looking to focus its attention on competing directly with TikTok and as a result, its head Adam Mosseri says that the popular app is no longer a photo-sharing app, but will shift to entertainment, video, and shopping.
Instagram is reportedly testing a feature with a "small number" of users where its "suggested posts" feature will expand beyond just when you've reached the end of your feed and will be mixed throughout a browsing experience, possibly coming ahead of posts from those users follow.
Most social media platforms shroud the idea of "the algorithm" in mystery. Instagram appears to be breaking that mold as it has published a detailed blog that explains what its algorithm is and how it ranks feeds, Stories, Explore, and Reels.
During the height of Israeli-Palestinian violence that took place last month, several Facebook employees alleged that the company's algorithm on both the parent platform and Instagram were inadvertently censoring pro-Palestinian content because of the method by which it was shared.
