    Disney bets on Adobe's Firefly to create brand-safe AI models for its entertainment empire

    Disney and Adobe announced a multi-year partnership at Adobe's MAX conference, under which Disney gets early access to new Adobe technology for its theme parks, cruise line, and ESPN content. Adobe will use Firefly Foundry to build custom models trained on Disney characters, environments, and visual styles to produce commercially safe, production-ready output, while Disney's Imagineering division already uses Firefly for theme park development. The deal also covers Walt Disney Studios' StudioLAB and ESPN Edge, where AI is meant to boost fan engagement for sports content and unlock new uses for ESPN's archive.

    Italian Police Used AI to Identify $200M. Worth of Stolen Art and Antiquities

    Italian police used an AI platform called SWOADS, developed by IT engineer Salvatore Rapicavoli and in use by the Carabinieri art crime squad since 2023, to flag a painting photographed at the Mercanteinfiera antique fair in October 2024 as a match for a 17th-century painting of Saint Agnese stolen from a church in Sulmona 20 years earlier, despite the original lamb having been painted over with a scroll. According to the BBC, SWOADS has recovered more than 300 large paintings and statues and over 165,000 small objects such as coins, letters and medals, worth over $200 million in total. The Saint Agnese painting was returned to the church, but the thieves have not been apprehended.

    Just Eat apologises for AI food mistakes

    Just Eat apologised after AI-generated images for restaurants without photos produced bizarre dishes, such as bacon and eggs floating in a glass of cola (a confusion between "soda" and "soda bread") and chips poking out of muffins. A spokesperson said the firm was "in the process of removing" the incorrect images and would stop generating more until the AI was further developed, noting it had been trialling AI-enhanced images. The incident highlights difficulties companies face when using AI to interpret words in a specific context.
