Artist Chris Chun’s striking new zodiac painting commemorates 2021. The Ox is an essential zodiac as it represents strength, hard work and dependability, something we've all had to embrace after a tumultuous year. After 2020, where the whole world turned upside down, Chris wanted to create something comforting whilst demonstrating the beauty of resilience. When things are tough, anyone can look at MingBelle, the characterful Ox, and it will remind them of their inner strength and to keep on moving forward. https://www.chrischun.com/
Train an AI to complete half-finished images? Mimic how humans use words or predicting what we see? A future where AI models understand text and images and convert between the two, understanding our language and pre-filling our gaps (half finished images - no problem, let the algorithm complete that).
GPT-3/ OpenAI and other deep learning advancements and research continue to drive possibilities for creative industries, manufacturing, education and more.https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/01/05/1015754/avocado-armchair-future-ai-openai-deep-learning-nlp-gpt3-computer-vision-common-sense/

Anything you want to count, record, analyse, or store can be obtained by teaching Vision AI to look for it.
Current use cases globally worked through include home-eye assessments (6over6), detecting manufacturing & infrastructure asset defects (preventative maintenance etc),alerting where weapons are carried onto a premise and more.Could Vision.AI help us with sustainability? climate change? ie using algorithms to measure what is difficult for humans – every tree in NSW, very yeast cell in a culture,the change in gait that suggests a medical condition before it presents significantly?https://venturebeat.com/2020/08/29/how-to-tell-if-computer-vision-can-transform-your-business/

French startup Blobr, is one of many capitalising on the no-code/ low-code movement to empower anyone to build tech-based businesses/ capabilities with little computing and programming expertise. Still, there's a need for computational literacy and a privacy-by-design approach (need more focus here as an industry) as we speed through the data-goldmine (have we moved on from the 'data is the new oil' mantra yet?) This is an interesting take on productisation.https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/22/blobr/
