OPERA INTRODUCES AI BROWSING 👩‍💻

If Apple made a car, would it have windows? 👀

What’s new? Opera has introduced Browser Operator, a new AI agent designed to complete tasks on websites for users.

How does it work? Opera already offers AI tools that answer webpage-related questions, but Browser Operator goes a step further by automating browsing actions. In a demo (above), Opera showcased the AI purchasing socks from Walmart, booking football tickets, and arranging travel plans. While the AI can navigate specific sites, it’s unclear if it can handle broader requests, like finding the cheapest flight across multiple travel sites. Users can monitor its activity and intervene at any time. The feature will be available soon through Opera’s Feature Drop program.

What about the competition? Letting AI operate a desktop is a relatively new capability of AI being explored by multiple companies. OpenAI’s Operator claims to do this, and Perplexity has also been testing a version of this called Comet. However, Opera claims the tool is more secure than competitors because it runs on-device rather than in the cloud.

CÉLINE DION FIGHTS AI-GENERATED MUSIC 🎤

Q: How do you make Lady Gaga mad?

A: Poker face. ♣️

What’s up? Céline Dion has issued a warning about fake, AI-generated music circulating online that falsely claims to feature her voice and likeness. The Canadian singer made it clear that these recordings are not real and are not part of her official discography.

Why is this important? The use of AI in music has become a growing concern. In April 2024, more than 200 artists—including Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, and Jon Bon Jovi—signed a letter urging tech companies to stop using AI to exploit human musicians. The letter raised alarms about deepfakes, voice cloning, and AI-generated music reducing artist royalties. Moreover, in the U.K., 1,000 musicians recently expressed copyright concerns by releasing an album titled, “Is This What We Want?” featuring “songs” that are nothing more than the sound of empty recording studios. Meanwhile, some people think we ought to embrace AI tools in music, as they make the process easier for the regular person. As SunoAI creator Mikey Shulman states, “It’s not really enjoyable to make music now … it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, and you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music.” Let the musical battle over AI continue.

GOOGLE USES HIDDEN CAMERAS TO PROTECT WILDLIFE 🐿️

Q: Why are fish so smart?

A: Because they live in schools. 🐟

What’s new? Google has released SpeciesNet, a free AI tool that helps scientists and other researchers identify animals in wildlife photos.

How does it work? Scientists use camera traps—motion-activated cameras placed in nature—to study wildlife. These cameras capture thousands of images, but sorting through them takes a lot of time. SpeciesNet speeds up this process by automatically recognizing animals in the photos. It has been trained on 65 million images from zoos, museums, and research groups. The AI can identify over 2,000 types of animals and even recognize broad categories like “mammal” or “cat family.”

Why is this important? SpeciesNet is important because it can help scientists track animal populations faster and more accurately than before, leading to better conservation efforts. Since SpeciesNet is free and open to the public, researchers, conservationists, and even startups can use it to monitor biodiversity and protect endangered species.
