Adobe's VideoGigaGAN uses AI to make blurry videos sharp and clear
https://techxplore.com/news/2024-04-ado ... ideos.html
by Bob Yirka , Tech Xplore
A team of video and AI engineers at Adobe Research has developed an AI application called VideoGigaGAN, that can accept a blurry video and enhance it to make it a much shaper product. The team describes their work and results in an article posted to the arXiv preprint server. They have also posted several examples of the videos that they have enhanced on their project website page.

AI applications have been in the news a lot lately, primarily due to the release of LLMs, such as ChatGPT, that consumers can use to generate a wide variety of output. But AI research has been ongoing in other areas as well, such as creating artificial images and video.

In this new effort, the team at Adobe has created an application that can accept a blurry video sample and, after processing, return the same sample with greatly enhanced sharpness and clarity—also known as upscaling.

Looks intriguing, what TED have instore over the next 40 years. I haven't been on the site in awhile and I will definitely have to see what other videos they have over the weekend.

- person submits stuff, either an entire text or an idea
- an AI approves/rejects
- AI generates the TED talk video and posts it online

Google/Youtube (and TED most probably) will go under in the next 40 years.

Are you suspecting that AGI might supplant traditional search engines? I don't think TED will go under though as they could just modernize their presentation format.
