It was exciting to attend the Horizon Partnership conference at the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Ministry of Education and Science) on behalf of XRBB - Extended Reality Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. We discussed the future European and German strategies for science and innovation. It's inspiring to see the growing connection between XR, AI, and other partnerships, which will strengthen European innovation, industry, and society. #XR #AI #Innovation #HorizonPartnership #EuropeanInnovation #GermanyInnovation #ScienceAndTechnology #FutureOfTech #ExtendedReality #Industry4_0 #DigitalTransformation

Here is a new iteration in our current exploration revolving around the use of physical interfaces to feed and interact with a real-time img2img diffusion pipeline, using Stream Diffusion and SDXL Turbo. I may be spending way too much time messing around with this. 😊 #ai #stablediffusion #realtime #rnd #MR #mixedreality #aiart

A new and very good report on AI and Culture, Cultural Relations and its future impact and challenges of course. In the creative sectors, AI has an undeniable impact. Integrating this technology into literature, visual arts, cinema, museums, video games, to name just some, offers expanded artistic possibilities, enhanced productivity for cultural and creative industries and a significantly enriched content range. However, the lack of transparency in using artworks to train AI systems, combined with the potential displacement of artists and entrepreneurs along the cultural value chain, could lead to a rapid degradation of the creative ecosystem. #ai #culture #culturemanagement #technology #octaviokulesz
