Microsoft may be ready to launch Paint LiveCanvas, an innovative AI-based feature designed to enhance the digital art creation process on the Windows. PhantomOcean reports on X that the AI art tool is near completion.
Unlike its predecessor, Cocreator, which also utilizes AI to generate images within Paint, LiveCanvas introduces a novel approach by not only creating art but also providing an interactive experience for users. This new capability is set to debut on Windows 11, marking a significant advancement in Microsoft’s integration of artificial intelligence within creative tools.
Features and Functionalities
Paint LiveCanvas is part of the broader Paint NPU platform, showcasing Microsoft’s commitment to leveraging neural processing units (NPUs) for enhancing AI functionalities within its software ecosystem. The tool promises to assist users in generating drawings, sketches, and various projects with the aid of advanced AI algorithms. However, it’s been reported that the use of Paint LiveCanvas will require a Microsoft account, distinguishing it from Cocreator’s more accessible approach.
Furthermore, Microsoft is implementing a series of responsible AI guidelines to ensure the content generated adheres to safety and ethical standards. Some of these guidelines include restrictions on image sizes, with a maximum dimension of 2000×2000 pixels, and content filters to block unsafe or inappropriate images.
