Meta Shares Code to AI That Can "Cut Out" Any Object Within an Image
On Wednesday, Meta announced an AI called Segment Anything Model (SAM) that can mask out any object from an image. This technology isn't new, however, this is noteworthy because it can mask objects it has never seen before. Meta says that an accurate segmentation model "requires highly specialized work by technical experts with access to AI training infrastructure and large volumes of carefully annotated in-domain data," whereas SAM aims to "democratize" this process. And the best part is that is open-source! Meta has a free demo where you can try this, even with your own images. I recommend trying it out!
