Adam N2 (00:05):
Welcome to Digimasters Shorts, we are your hosts Adam
Nagus

Carly W (00:09):
and Carly Wilson delivering the latest scoop from
the digital realm.
Google's upcoming AI, Gemini,set to replace Google Assistant
next year, is introducinginteractive images to enhance
user learning experiences.
This new feature allows users toexplore detailed information
within images by clicking onlabeled parts, making it
especially useful for students.

(00:29):
For instance, in a plant cellimage, clicking the
"Mitochondrion" label revealsits function as the"powerhouse
of the cell." The interactiveimages open in a dedicated space
on the right side of the screen,enabling deeper study without
manual searches.
Although not present in everyresponse, this feature aims to
provide clearer and moreengaging explanations.

(00:50):
Currently, the rollout ofinteractive images is gradual,
so some users may need to waitbefore accessing it.
Once widely available, itpromises to integrate Gemini
more effectively intoeducational and everyday
inquiries.
Users can close the interactivewindow to ask further questions
seamlessly.
This advancement reflectsGoogle's commitment to making

(01:10):
Gemini a versatile AI companionacross devices.
Feedback from users will likelyshape the feature’s future
development.

Adam N2 (01:18):
Warner Music Group has launched a new artificial
intelligence music venture withtech start-up Suno, following a
legal dispute between the twocompanies.
Under their settlement, Sunousers can now create
AI-generated music using thevoices, names, and likenesses of
artists who opt into theprogram.
Warner, representing top nameslike Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran,

(01:39):
had previously sued Sunoalongside Sony Music and
Universal Music Group, accusingthe platforms of unauthorized
copying.
The lawsuit claimed theAI-generated tracks were
indistinguishable from originalsongs, labeling the practice as
"wholesale theft." Starting nextyear, Suno will introduce
advanced, licensed AI modelsrequiring payment for audio

(01:59):
downloads, while free-tiercontent remains accessible.
Warner calls the partnership agroundbreaking move that opens
new creative possibilities whileensuring artists are fairly
compensated.
Artists and songwriters willmaintain control over how their
identities and work are used inAI creations.
The controversy surrounding AIin music has drawn criticism

(02:20):
from hundreds of artists,including Billie Eilish and
Nicki Minaj, concerned about theimpact on human creativity.
Supporters argue AI mimics humanlearning through exposure to
existing works.
This evolving landscapehighlights the ongoing debate
over copyright and innovation inthe music industry.​At Adobe's
MAX conference in Los Angeles,the company unveiled Project

(02:42):
Graph, a groundbreaking AIsystem aimed at giving users
greater control over creativeworkflows.
Project Graph transforms complexprocesses into user-friendly
interfaces called"capsules" andintegrates tools from across
Adobe's Creative Cloud,including Photoshop,
Illustrator, and Premiere Pro.
Beyond Adobe's own software,Project Graph also taps into

(03:03):
third-party AI models frompartners like Google and Open
A.I.
This enables users to createnode-based workflows that can be
packaged into simple,streamlined tools.
James Ratliff, Venture Lead forProject Graph, highlighted the
tool's goal to move away frombasic AI prompting toward more
sophisticated, professionalcreative tools.
The project originated fromAdobe Incubator, a program that

(03:25):
fosters innovation by allowingsmall teams to develop new
products internally.
Eric Snowden, Adobe's SVP ofDesign, emphasized how Project
Graph unlocks the power ofcombining features from
different Adobe apps to tailortools to specific creative
needs.
The system promises flexibilityfor various professionals, from
motion designers tophotographers, to build and

(03:47):
reuse customized workflowsacross the Adobe ecosystem.
Project Graph is expected toenter public beta soon, with
users able to sign up forupdates.
This announcement has beenhailed as one of Adobe’s most
exciting steps toward enhancingcreative freedom and control
through AI.

Carly W (04:03):
A new study reveals that artificial intelligence can
now detect chronic stress byanalyzing routine chest CT
scans.
Scientists developed a deeplearning model that measures the
size of adrenal glands, whichregulate hormones linked to
stress responses.
The research, involving nearly3,000 patients, combined CT
scans with stress surveys andhealth data for comprehensive

(04:25):
analysis.
Patients experiencing chronicstress showed enlarged adrenal
glands, increased cortisollevels, and a higher risk of
heart failure.
This discovery offers the firstobjective and scalable method to
assess the long-term impact ofstress on the body.
Previously, stress measurementrelied on questionnaires or
complex biomarkers, makingevaluation difficult.

(04:47):
Radiology experts describe theadrenal glands as a biological
barometer for chronic stress.
The AI model allows cliniciansto visually assess stress
effects using scans alreadyperformed in hospitals.
This advancement may helpidentify diseases linked to
stress, particularly in olderadults.
The findings will be presentedat the upcoming Radiological

(05:07):
Society of North Americameeting.
More than 300 attendees fromacademia and industry gathered
at M.I.T on October 30 for aseminar unveiling BoltzGen, a
groundbreaking AI model inprotein design.
Developed by M.I.T PhD studentHannes Stärk and his team at the
Jameel Clinic, BoltzGen extendsprevious models by not only
predicting protein bindingaffinity but generating novel

(05:29):
protein binders ready for drugdiscovery.
The model’s innovations includemulti-task capabilities,
physics-informed constraintsbased on wetlab feedback, and
rigorous testing on challenging"undruggable" targets.
Unlike conventional modelslimited to familiar protein
structures, BoltzGen performswell on diverse and novel
binding challenges.

(05:50):
Validation across eight wetlabsdemonstrated its promising
potential for acceleratingtherapeutic development.
Industry collaborators likeParabilis Medicines have
expressed optimism aboutintegrating BoltzGen into
existing drug platforms.
The open-source release ofBoltzGen signals a shift in
biotech, challenging companiesto rethink proprietary
offerings.

(06:10):
Experts highlight BoltzGen’srole in addressing unsolved
problems in drug design,emphasizing its community-wide
impact.
The developers foresee AI-drivenbiomolecular design
revolutionizing medicine byenabling novel solutions to
disease.
BoltzGen represents a major leaptoward harnessing AI to
reimagine biology andtherapeutics.
