Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking over almost every industry, including the photography sector. If you haven't upgraded to an AI-powered smartphone, you perhaps soon will do it. Even the software like Adobe's Photoshop Camera, you use on the phone are AI-enabled. Photoshop Camera app uses AI to detect objects and scenes in your images and then suggest lenses (digital effects) for comic and creative impact. AI is not being used only in camera phones but also all kinds of cameras, and you will be amazed to know that what AI is contributing to your photos.

If you're familiar with Algoriddim's processor-intensive AI features for its DJ software and the company's close relationship with Apple, you won't be surprised to hear there's already an update to djay Pro AI for Mac. This release leans heavily on Apple's M1 chip and claims some interesting new tweaks to Neural Mix functionality, inheriting the tools from its iOS counterpart. This is not to be confused with the standalone Neural Mix Pro sampling tool. Djay Pro AI for Mac is available now for free in the App Store, but if you really want to get something out of it, you'll need a Pro subscription ($7/month or $50/year). This unlocks access to all the free audio content and features.

Apple's HomePod was a bit of a tough sell when it launched in 2018. The $350 speaker (now selling for $300) was far more expensive than the Amazon Echo or Google Home, and Siri was less capable and intelligent than Alexa or Google Assistant. One thing was undeniable, though: the HomePod sounded excellent. It was first and foremost for music lovers, and things like smart home controls felt like an afterthought. The HomePod took its place as a niche product while the inexpensive Google Home Mini and Echo Dot gave Amazon and Google a commanding presence in the smart speaker space.

Apple's HomePod mini is finally here – the iPhone maker's attempt to break the Amazon Echo-Google Home duopoly and put itself back into the voice assistant race. The HomePod mini costs £99 and sits below the full-sized HomePod costing £279. The speaker looks like a smaller, more spherical version of the big HomePod from almost three years ago. The outside is covered in a recycled plastic fabric mesh and there is a touch-sensitive disc at the top with a coloured LED display that lights up and pulsates as you interact with its voice assistant, Siri. It is an attractive object that is smaller and less prominent than its primary competition, the equally new Amazon Echo and Google Nest Audio.

For a while, Taiki Sakurai wasn't sure Netflix was serious about anime. When he was interviewing to be the company's chief anime producer back in 2017, Netflix suits insisted he'd get to form superhero teams of anime creators, manage the direction of a couple shows. Even then, Netflix was regarded as a streaming platform, not exactly a studio. Netflix is an American tech company. Anime is a Japanese artform.

Students from the Technion's Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science in Haifa, Nadav Bhonker (already graduated) and Shunit Haviv Hakimi, together with their advisor Professor Ran El-Yaniv have shown that it is possible to model and optimize personalized jazz preferences using artificial intelligence. Their paper on the research called the BebopNet project was published in the Proceedings of 21st International Society of Music Information Retrieval Conference. To people involved in the development of artificial intelligence technologies this is great news. The idea that something artistic, especially a field as personalized as jazz, can be recreated by AI is a major breakthrough. AI is a form of computer and as such can only really do what it has been pre-programmed to do and nothing as original as the composition of new and truly artistic sounding music.

Artificial intelligence or AI applies to a machine that can mimic actions like a human by analyzing the data. Machines are programmed to learn from data so that they can solve complex problems. Every sector and industry has benefited from AI. Another area where AI is evolving to be a handy tool is video editing. AI in video editing is at an early stage. It has the potential to revolutionize the video editing field completely.
