Top AI Tools For Designers - Blog Studio

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is one of the biggest trends in our industry. Overlooking it might have a huge impact on your efficiency and position in the market. It will help us to create the design very easily and quickly which will also reduce the time. AI tools will be very beneficial for us and will helpful for designers. There are some rumors that Al might take jobs from some people, but the truth is we will need to learn how to use these tools to become better designers in the future. Uizard is a start-up that has developed an AI-powered design tool that enables users to create high-quality designs quickly and easily using natural language input.


Which games are useful to put artificial intelligence to the test?

#artificialintelligence

The artificial intelligence (AI) that is already all around us cannot safely drive a car by himself, nor can they write compelling scripts. Still, every day the research to make them more capable gets new results, and in some cases, anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can help teach them something. Both Google and Microsoft have put online some experiments (interpretable as "games") with which to try to understand how to teach a computer to learn, or simply to get an idea of how smart some AI systems that already exist are. Google's can be found on the A.I. Experiments platform, while Microsoft's were mostly created by the Microsoft Garage research community. They are, of course, not the first such experiments.


4 Ways Robotics and AI Are Transforming Design and Creatives

#artificialintelligence

While AI and robotics have made waves in several industries, it would seem inconceivable to the uninitiated for robots and intelligent machines to make a mark in the creatives sector. How could systems be taught creativity? In fact, when researchers from the Oxford Martin School ranked 702 occupations according to their susceptibility to computerization, jobs that center around creativity were least in danger. Designers, curators, artists, choreographers, dancers, musicians, singers, writers, and authors were among those less likely to be replaced by robots. But the robot takeover argument does not only include sentiments of agreement and disagreement. There is something in the middle, and that is what we will discuss here.


5 Awesome AI Experiences You Can Test Out in Your Browser Right Now

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is already everywhere, and its influence is growing. It can be hard to get your head around exactly what AI does and how it can be deployed though, which is why we present to you these five fun online experiments--all you need is a web browser and a few minutes to see some of the party tricks AI is already capable of. Be wary of loading this one up unless you've got a bit of time to spare today, because it can be particularly addictive: The idea is to remove blocks from a wall by typing out definitions that Google's AI can recognize. Using machine learning algorithms, Google engineers have trained Semantris on billions of lines of sample dialog. By picking up associations between words, that should give the engine enough training to spot which word in the wall you're trying to define--though it can come up with some unexpected guesses.


Is AI Capable of Creativity? 4 Fails, and 3 Successes

#artificialintelligence

The robots are coming here. We know -- we've been over this. Messenger and live chat are quickly becoming customers' preferred methods of communication. And for both, bots are often the first line of defense: the triaging system that connects the user to the right human being who can solve the problem ... if it even needs to get to that point. In other words, bots are eliminating some level of need for human labor. It's a hotly-contested point, one that's met with a lot of questions rooted in concern.


3 ways AI is making your life easier

#artificialintelligence

Unless you work in computer science, chances are artificial intelligence (AI) still seems like a vaguely sci-fi-ish phenomenon. But the reality is that AI is already working its way into our daily lives through the apps and business services we use. Think of your smartphone as tomorrow's AI platform today, and the services you use (from banking and transportation to marketing and medical care) as extensions of AI "brains" in the cloud that will get smarter and more intuitive every day. Google's new AutoDraw, a product of its AI Experiments lab, combines your rudimentary artistic skills with computer vision to try to figure out what you're trying to sketch -- with your mouse on a desktop screen, or with your finger on a tablet or smartphone -- and instantly upgrades your doodling to a perfect little line drawing. "We hope AutoDraw will help make drawing and creating a little more accessible and fun for everyone," the Google team behind it says.


Understanding the impact of artificial intelligence on music and arts

If You Want to Glimpse the Power of AI, Play These Games

WIRED

Google made one thing abundantly clear at this week's big I/O developer conference: It is an AI-first company now. The brass spent hours explaining how artificial intelligence will touch every product--Google Lens! But Google already offers a simple, ridiculously fun way of understanding what this future holds: games. The AI Experiments Program is a collection of interactive AI projects designed to show off the creative capacity of machines--like AI Duet, a piano that automatically harmonizes with the notes the user plays, and Bird Sounds, a visual map that groups bird calls based on their frequency. Some are fun, even absurd, while others explain machine learning.


We're not saying you're obsolete, but Google is making music humans can't

Mashable

The company's AI research team, Google Magenta, announced a new project in April called Neural Synthesizer, or NSynth, which generates audio using deep neural networks. That technology will be demonstrated at Durham, North Carolina's annual arts and technology festival, Moogfest, later this week. SEE ALSO: Google's new AutoDraw wants to make drawing easier for everyone To create music, NSynth uses a dataset containing sounds from individual instruments and then blends them to create hybrid sounds. According to the company, NSynth gives "artists with intuitive control over timbre and dynamics and the ability to explore new sounds that would be difficult or impossible to produce with a hand-tuned synthesizer," the company said in their announcement. The resulting sound is not like playing two of the individual sounds together, Cinjon Resnick, a member of the Magenta team told Wired.


This Google AI Turns Your Bad Doodles Into Polished Drawings

#artificialintelligence

This week, Google released a new AI experiment called AutoDraw, which turns your half-baked scribbles into poster-ready clipart. The tool uses machine learning to guess what you're trying to draw and then gives you the option to replace your bad drawing with more polished ones, created by illustrators and design studios like HAWRAF, Erin Butner, Julia Melograna, Pei Liew, Simone Noronha, Tori Hinn, and Selman Design. It's a simple tool that gives those of us without fancy (and expensive) design programs a way to make reasonably professional graphics. In my first attempt to draw something, I started to draw a person. After sketching a blob that distantly resembled a foot, and the program quickly showed me several different types of feet and socks.
