Swsh’s new photo-sharing app lets Gen Zers filter out red solo cups and alcoholic drinks
When Swsh launched last year, the social app was initially designed as a poll game (similar to the “Most Likely To” game), where users can answer five daily questions with their friends.

A team of engineers at Apple has developed an AI-based model called Depth Pro that can map the depth of a 2D image. The team has written a paper describing the app and its capabilities and has posted it on the arXiv preprint server. They have also posted an announcement regarding the app on the company’s Machine Learning Research page.A team of engineers at Apple has developed an AI-based model called Depth Pro that can map the depth of a 2D image.

Relyance lands $32M to help companies comply with data regulations
As the demand for AI surges, AI vendors are devoting greater bandwidth to data security issues. Not only are they being compelled to comply with emerging data privacy regulations (e.g. the EU Data Act), but they’re finding themselves under the microscope of clients skeptical about how their data is being used and processed. The trouble […]

Health insurtech startup Qantev raises €30 million to outperform LLMs with small AI models
Health and life insurance providers face a rising volume of claims due to chronic disease and aging populations, but their processes lack scalability. AI automation can help, but it takes more tailoring than for other insurance types. Automating property and casualty insurance, for instance, gave rise to public company Guidewire decades ago, but health insurance […]
