Introducing interactive on-device segmentation in Snapseed

Google Research 10 months ago 32

Google introduced Object Brush, a new feature in Snapseed powered by an on-device AI segmentation model that lets users select and edit specific objects in photos by drawing simple strokes. The Interactive Segmenter model completes object detection in under 20ms on-device, trained on 30,000 manually annotated images across 350+ object categories and distilled using 2 million weakly annotated images. The feature makes selective photo editing more accessible by eliminating the need for imprecise manual selections on mobile devices.

OpenAI 10 months ago 50 3 sources

OpenAI banned accounts linked to the People's Republic of China that were using the company's AI tools to support surveillance-related activities, targeted profiling, and research on critics and dissidents. The banned accounts were conducting planning and research operations focused on identifying and monitoring specific individuals. The action demonstrates AI platform enforcement against state-linked actors attempting to use commercial AI systems for surveillance and repression activities.

Operation “Stop News”: Recidivist influence activity

OpenAI 10 months ago 10 2 sources

OpenAI banned accounts tied to a Russian influence operation called Stop News that used AI to generate disinformation content targeting audiences in Africa and the UK. The operation used OpenAI's API to create content at scale across multiple platforms over an extended period. The ban removes infrastructure that Russian actors were leveraging to automate the generation of false narratives in regions outside their direct geographic focus.

Operation “Nine–emdash Line”: Regional influence activity

OpenAI 10 months ago 27 2 sources

OpenAI banned accounts linked to a Chinese state operation called Nine-emdash Line that used AI to generate influence content targeting the South China Sea, Hong Kong, and US politics. The operation created multiple pieces of regional influence content without previous public disclosure before OpenAI's detection. The enforcement removes a coordinated inauthentic behavior campaign from OpenAI's platform and demonstrates how state actors are deploying AI tools for information operations.
