Revolution in content: Google automates video creation from idea to editing

Post Thumbnail

Google is preparing a revolution with its experimental project called Illuminate. Some users have already gained access to this tool. It works simply. A person enters a topic or question of interest, for example, “Explain quantum physics” or “History of Ancient Egypt.” After this, the system automatically generates a short video with a virtual host who talks in detail about the chosen topic. Just no words!

The coolest thing is that artificial intelligence is not limited to simply voicing text against a static image background. Instead, it creates realistic video where the virtual host accompanies their narrative with visual illustrations and demonstration of the described processes.

Examples of vertical videos lasting from 1 to 3 minutes on various topics have already appeared on Twitter. These videos are made in the format of accessible explanations, where virtual hosts tell about complex concepts in simple language. For now, the tool is only available for internal Google accounts and is unavailable to regular users.

It is assumed that the technology is based on the Veo 3 model or a multimodal version of Gemini Ultra. The potential impact of this development is hard to overestimate. Teachers will be able to quickly create educational videos, marketers will make promotional videos, and ordinary people will be able to generate personalized greetings or instructions without needing filming and editing skills.

In my opinion, this Sparks technology represents a fundamentally new level of generative artificial intelligence. Combining speech synthesis, visual content creation, and knowledge generation into a single system, which essentially automates the entire video content creation process from idea to finished product.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million
Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.
AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders
A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI
Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
