In today’s episode of The AI Briefing, we delve into Adobe's latest advancements and legal hurdles. First, Adobe has rolled out substantial updates to Acrobat, now featuring an AI Assistant that can analyze and summarize information from various document types and perform sentiment analysis on meeting transcripts. The upgrades also include generative AI capabilities from Adobe Firefly, allowing users to create new images from text prompts directly within PDFs.
Next, Adobe brings exciting news for video editors by announcing the introduction of generative AI tools to Premiere Pro. These features will enable users to seamlessly add or remove objects, extend clips, and generate rare B-roll through simple text commands. With an emphasis on transparency, Adobe will label all AI-generated content, and the anticipated features are scheduled for release by the end of 2024.
