Google Photos seems to have a new feature in the pipeline that would allow users more control over the faces they see in their libraries.
Generative AI is changing how people create and business is done, which has far-reaching impacts. Photography is no stranger to technological revolutions and has thus far always survived. However, the coming storm of AI feels different to many, including Adobe, a company that has been involved with digital imaging since its earliest days.
While NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers craft 122-megapixel photos 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, the agency's newest camera performs groundbreaking space science with just 36 pixels. Yes, 36 pixels, not 36 megapixels.
