Discover Your Digital Doppelgängers with PimEyes
See Where Your Face Travels on the Web—You’ll Be Stunned by What You Find!
Why you should check this out!:
PimEyes is a unique fusion of reverse image search and face recognition technology. The platform is more than just a search engine; it’s an eye-opening tool that helps you discover where your face appears across the open web. I recently explored PimEyes and was genuinely amazed at how comprehensive and accurate the search results were.
What sets PimEyes apart from traditional reverse image search engines is its focus on faces. While other platforms might give you similar images based on color, texture, and other objects, PimEyes hones in on your facial features. So even if you’re in a new setting, wearing a new outfit, or sporting a fresh haircut, the search engine can still spot you. It’s like having a digital detective that scours the internet for your likeness, giving you an insightful look into your online presence.
The interface is user-friendly, and the process is quite straightforward. All you need to do is upload a high-quality photo of your face, and PimEyes does the rest. It’s crucial to note that the search is restricted to the open web and excludes social media and video platforms. This makes it a helpful resource for checking how your image is being used outside of the more commonly regulated platforms. If you’re conscious about your online privacy or curious about your digital footprint, you’ll find this service invaluable.
So, if you’re intrigued by the idea of discovering where your face appears online or if you’re like me and you’re amazed by how far technology has come, I’d highly recommend giving PimEyes a try. The experience is not only enlightening but could also be essential in today’s digital age for managing your online identity.

Coca-Cola launches beverage created with the help of artificial intelligence
If you’ve ever wondered what a Coca-Cola from the future might taste like, you’re in for a treat. Coca-Cola has rolled out its Y3000, a flavor not just created by human intuition but fine-tuned with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Intrigued? I was too, and after learning about it, I’d definitely give this high-tech beverage a try!
Part of Coca-Cola’s innovative Creations platform, Y3000 offers two versions—full sugar and Zero Sugar—both aiming to capture the mood and experience of what our future might hold. But the real star of the show is how this new drink was formulated. Coca-Cola tapped into a blend of human emotion, aspiration, and AI-generated insights to craft a flavor that aims to resonate with the future-forward generation.
And it doesn’t stop at the flavor. The packaging is an artwork in itself, combining “optimistic tones” with futuristic design elements. Imagine effervescent bubbles forming the Coca-Cola Creations logo and fluid dot clusters representing the interconnectedness of our future world. It’s more than just a drink; it’s an experience that offers a unique perspective on what the year 3000 could look like.
Beyond the bottle, the launch is paired with AI-powered experiences and future-inspired apparel in collaboration with Ambush, aiming to create additional buzz especially among the younger, digitally savvy audience.
If you’re like me, fascinated by how technology and tradition can merge to create something exciting and new, you won’t want to miss this. Coca-Cola Y3000 is not just another flavor; it’s a glimpse into the future of beverages, co-created by artificial intelligence.

AI for Good: How $25M is Accelerating Global Goals
Unlocking the Future of Sustainability—One Algorithm at a Time
From Google.Org this week:
Let’s build a better, more sustainable future for all
Have you ever wondered how artificial intelligence could be harnessed for more than just technology and business gains? Well, it turns out AI is playing a critical role in tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
Last year, a $25M open call was made for initiatives that use AI to expedite progress on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals—aptly dubbed the World’s To-Do List. From AI-powered apps helping farmers in India to satellite monitoring of global greenhouse emissions, the projects are not only innovative but also impactful.
What’s more incredible is the efficiency of these AI-empowered projects. Recipients have reported achieving their sustainability goals in a third of the time and at half the cost. This article provides an inside look at how AI is being used to make a tangible difference in areas ranging from environmental conservation to food security.
You’ll also learn about the rigorous criteria used to evaluate each project’s potential for impact, scalability, and responsible data use. Trust me, you’ll want to read every word to understand the transformative power of AI for global good.
The Future of Healthcare is in Your Eyes: RETFound AI Scans Retinas to Predict Health Risks
Discover how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the way we detect and predict multiple diseases, all from a single retinal scan.
This week from Nature.com:
AI detects eye disease and risk of Parkinson’s from retinal images
Imagine a world where a quick scan of your eye could not only identify existing eye conditions but also predict your risk for diseases like heart failure and Parkinson’s.
Well, that future is here, thanks to a groundbreaking AI tool called RETFound.
Developed through a self-supervised learning method, this tool has the capability to analyze 1.6 million retinal images without the need for laborious and expensive labeling. By “learning” what a normal retina should look like, RETFound is poised to be a game-changer in healthcare diagnostics, offering unprecedented efficiency and label accuracy.
But what makes this tool an absolute marvel is its versatility. RETFound is a foundation model that can be adapted for many tasks. It has already proven to be incredibly effective in detecting ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.
Moreover, its predictive performance for systemic diseases like heart failure and Parkinson’s outshines other AI models.
Researchers believe that this technology could soon be extended to other complex medical images like MRIs and CT scans.
So, why should you read this article? To grasp how close we are to an era of healthcare where diagnosis is as straightforward as looking into a camera. If this doesn’t amaze you, I don’t know what will!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s journey through the ever-expanding tapestry of technological innovation. From safeguarding our online identities to leveraging AI for global good and even revolutionizing healthcare, it’s increasingly evident that we are only limited by our imagination. So let’s keep imagining, because the future doesn’t just happen—it’s built by those who dare to envision it.
