Episode notes

Shutterstock has formed significant partnerships with tech giants like OpenAI, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Apple to provide a vast library of images, videos, and music for AI training, positioning itself as a key player in the AI revolution. The upcoming Great North American Eclipse on April 8th, 2024, will be one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century, with Mexico, the US, and Canada in its path. A controversial experiment in San Francisco involved spraying sea salt particles into the air to brighten coastal fog and make clouds more reflective, potentially cooling the planet by bouncing more sunlight back into space.

In this episode of Discover Daily, host Alex, powered by ElevenLabs AI, explores three fascinating stories at the intersection of science and technology. First, we dive into Shutterstock's game-changing AI training deals with tech giants like OpenAI, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Apple. These partnerships involve licensing Shutterstock's vast library of images, videos, and music to train AI models, positioning the company as a key player in the AI revolution while ensuring artists are fairly compensated.

Next, we turn our attention to the upcoming Great North American Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This rare and spectacular total solar eclipse will be visible across Mexico, the United States, and Canada, with the path of totality stretching from coast to coast. We discuss viewing safety, educational opportunities, and the significance of this celestial event. Finally, we explore the controversial cloud brightening experiment in San Francisco, where researchers are testing marine cloud brightening as a potential tool to combat climate change by spraying sea salt particles into the atmosphere to increase cloud reflectivity and cool the planet.
