BRIA AI (@bria_ai_)
BRIA가 Fibo라는 차세대 AI 이미지 생성·정제 엔진을 공개했습니다. 기존 도구와 달리 이미지를 레이어별로 구성해 어떤 부분이 어떻게 바뀌었는지 투명하게 보여주며, 텍스트로 요청하고 프롬프트로 세부 정제가 가능한 워크플로우를 제공합니다. 시각 변경의 이유를 추적할 수 있는 설명 가능성 기능이 핵심입니다.
Introducing Fibo, a next-generation AI image generation and refinement engine by BRIA. Unlike traditional AI image tools, Fibo constructs visuals layer by layer, giving you full transparency into what changed and why. Simply describe what you want, refine with a prompt, and Fibo
Science Fiction Worldbuilding with Generative AI
It's been a while since I made a creative post highlighting some of the creative multimodal capabilities of GenAI. It can be easy to get swept up in the drama of recent events like OpenAI's board firing its CEO (and his subsequent possible flight to Microsoft, or return to OpenAI...). It's also easy to focus on the darker side of the technology, including the many ethical issues. But it's also important to acknowledge that these tools offer real benefits to creators and learners. In this […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/11/29/science-fiction-worldbuilding-with-generative-ai/
Hands on with Adobe Firefly: Finally an image generator that can be used in school
Generative AI is a multimodal technology, with applications in text, image, video, audio, and code. Unfortunately, up until now, the actual usefulness of GAI in schools has been limited by technical and practical barriers. ChatGPT, for example, is easy to access but problematic in the classroom due to its obscure terms and conditions and dubious privacy and data storage. There are also ethical concerns with its construction, the bias in the output, and the potential to generate inappropriate […]
What is Multimodal Generative Artificial Intelligence?
The term multimodal generative intelligence is getting thrown around a lot recently - even more so now that the most popular models like GPT have added features like image recognition and generation. But what does 'multimodal' actually mean? What is "Multimodal"? Although the term "multimodal" might seem self-explanatory, there's more to it than you might think. The term is being bandied around right now by many AI developers, but I like to consider it from a different perspective. My […]https://leonfurze.com/2024/01/15/what-is-multimodal-generative-artificial-intelligence/
The ChatGPT diaries: How I actually use ChatGPT
Since its release in November 2022, I've used ChatGPT a lot. I've also seen a lot of advice on how to use ChatGPT - some good, some bad, some totally useless. I've also seen a gradual increase in "educational chatbots" which are basically flashy websites built on top of OpenAI's GPT model. Other than image generation, I've never really found much cause to use apps beyond ChatGPT. I've obviously played around with internet connected models like Bing, Bard, and Perplexity, but I still rely on […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/10/30/the-chatgpt-diaries-how-i-actually-use-chatgpt/
Tech’s cavalier attitude to copyright hurts creators and consumers
In a recent online lunch & learn for the Copyright Agency, I presented on the rapid advances in multimodal generative AI, including audio, video, code, and virtual reality applications. While these technologies offer exciting possibilities for creativity and innovation, they also raise serious concerns about copyright infringement and the potential harm to both consumers and creators. I've written about copyright before as one of the nine areas of ethical concern in my Teaching AI Ethics […]https://leonfurze.com/2024/05/06/techs-cavalier-attitude-to-copyright-hurts-creators-and-consumers/
We Need to Talk About Deepfakes
Deepfakes are a hot topic in the media right now, and understandably so. Advances in different areas of AI technologies have quickly made the comedic lip syncs of 2018's Barack Obama deepfakes look almost quaint. Everybody now has easy access to tools which can create compelling image, audio, and even video deepfakes with limited technical expertise and resources. Universities and schools across South Korea have recently been caught up in a huge, organised deepfake crime scandal. Elon Musk's […]https://leonfurze.com/2024/09/11/we-need-to-talk-about-deepfakes/
OpenAI Has Improved Its Image Gen – But Do We Need More “Offensive” AI?
OpenAI's recent updates to DALL-E 3 aim to enhance its image generation capabilities, but the focus on relaxing restrictions for "offensive" content raises concerns. The integration of more violent and explicit imagery could contribute to misinformation, and doesn't contribute to the future of the technology.https://leonfurze.com/2025/03/28/openai-has-improved-its-image-gen-but-do-we-need-more-offensive-ai/
Artificial Intelligence and Film Studies: Midjourney versus CAMELS
CAMELS? As an English teacher, I’ve done a lot of analytical film studies over the years. The biggest problem is always students’ grasp of technical language: film analysis tends to drift off into character and plot description, even more so than for written texts. So, when I teach film, I lean more into my Media Studies background. In the UK I completed my undergrad in English and American Literatures. When I trained to teach, it was in English, Media, and Drama. Then, when I first […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/03/29/artificial-intelligence-and-film-studies-midjourney-versus-camels/
The AI Assessment Scale: From no AI to full AI
AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT have kicked the hornet's nest in education. From articles declaring the "end of everything" (writing, the English classroom, the entire education system...) to claims that AI will revolutionise education, we've seen the full spectrum of hype. What we're yet to see much of, however, are practical solutions for dealing with these new technologies. I'm a PhD student, studying AI in education. I'm also a former secondary school teacher, Director of Learning and […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/04/29/the-ai-assessment-scale-from-no-ai-to-full-ai/
