Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha AI video generator is now accessible to all ✨
Runway has opened access to its Gen-3 Alpha AI video generator to all users after a successful viral launch in mid-June. Gen-3 Alpha, the first in Runway’s next-gen series, improves features like character and scene consistency, camera motion, and transitions. It's available with the $12/month Standard plan, offering 63 seconds of generation time. A free workshop at AI University on Friday will cover creating AI commercials using Gen-3, ElevenLabs, and Midjourney. Despite impressive releases from KLING and Luma Labs, Gen-3 Alpha represents a major advancement in AI video, although limited generation time could be an issue for heavy users.
Chinese AI startups head to Singapore for global growth 🌍
Chinese AI startups are moving to Singapore to attract global investors and access advanced technologies, escaping US trade sanctions. Singapore’s favorable business environment and government support are key attractions. Despite moving, they still face regulatory challenges. Startups like Tabcut and Climind find Singapore better for raising funds and targeting global users.
Nvidia may face antitrust charges in France 🚨
France's antitrust regulator is set to file charges against Nvidia for alleged anti-competitive practices. The investigation began with raids on the graphics card industry last September and focuses on Nvidia's CUDA software and AI investments. Nvidia has confirmed inquiries from EU, Chinese, and French authorities, while the U.S. Department of Justice is also investigating.
YouTube tightens rules on AI deepfakes 🛑
YouTube now lets users request the removal of AI-generated content that mimics their face or voice, treating it as a privacy violation. The platform assesses if the content is labeled as synthetic, uniquely identifies a person, or serves as parody or satire. Removed videos are completely taken down, and uploaders have 48 hours to respond to complaints.
Apple eyes Google Gemini integration this fall 🔗
Apple plans to integrate Google Gemini AI into its devices, including Vision Pro headsets, according to Mark Gurman. The beta release of Apple Intelligence this fall will focus on AI monetization. Despite Vision Pro delays, Apple refines retail strategies, with analyst predictions of AirPods featuring infrared cameras by 2026.
Motorola debuts AI-generated fashion ad for Razr line 🎥
Motorola's 'Styled By Moto' ad campaign, entirely AI-generated, promotes the new Razr folding smartphones. Featuring AI-created models and outfits inspired by the 'batwing' logo, the 30-second video used nine AI tools, including Sora and Midjourney. The campaign, with an AI-generated soundtrack, highlights AI's impact on marketing creativity.
Meta alters AI label to 'AI Info' following feedback 🖼️
In response to photographers' complaints, Meta is changing the "Made with AI" label to "AI info" to better represent AI usage in photos. The updated label aims to clarify that not all tagged images are fully AI-generated. Meta will still use C2PA and IPTC technical metadata standards.
Meta's HOT3D dataset aims to teach robots manual skills 🤖
Meta's HOT3D dataset, with over one million frames from different angles, aims to improve understanding of human hand-object interaction. It includes RGB and monochrome images, 3D pose annotations, 3D object models, 2D bounding boxes, gaze signals, and 3D point clouds. Meta envisions applications like teaching robots manual skills, enhancing AI assistants, and providing new AR/VR input options. The dataset is available on Meta's HOT3D project page.
