Adobe: Using artificial intelligence algorithms to identify PS images

Adobe researcher Vlad Morarium uses artificial intelligence to scan images for signs of tampering: it can scan the metadata of image files, including the time and place where the photo was taken, to look for signs of tampering, and will check for contradictory lighting, etc. But these signs cannot be seen with the naked eye. AI can determine whether an element has been added, moved or deleted from an image. But at the same time, the company's detection system is not foolproof.

Moriarty, who worked with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on the research, said the algorithm could also be used in the future to detect lighting differences and unusual compression, adding that Adobe created unique tools to determine authenticity.

Environmental protection agencies say Model S production and charging emit alarming amounts of carbon, Tesla responds: Improper sampling

Tesla has always used environmental protection as a selling point for its products, but a study by Engaged Tracking, a British environmental standards testing organization, found that although Tesla releases less carbon dioxide when driving, the emissions generated by producing electric vehicles and charging are very alarming. The annual emissions of the Model S are similar to those of ordinary gasoline vehicles.

The study used the Model S as the main sample, calculated its annual average carbon dioxide emissions during production and charging, and compared it with the annual average emissions data of British cars, finding that the annual average carbon dioxide emissions of both were 1.5 tons. The study also compared the Model S with the BMW electric car BMW i3, finding that the latter only emitted 1.3 tons, 15% less than the Model S.

Tesla responded that the annual average emission data includes many small cars, which have different specifications from the Model S and should not be compared together. It also pointed out that based on the specifications of the BMW i3, the Model 3 is the appropriate research sample, questioning Engaged Tracking's improper sampling and data screening. Tesla emphasized that if the analysis is fair, it should be concluded that electric vehicles emit less carbon dioxide per mile than fuel vehicles.
