Sadie Thoma, director, U.S. ads marketing at Google, sits down with Tiffany Rolfe, global chief creative Officer at R/GA, to discuss how Google AI is changing the creative game. Hear how R/GA leveraged generative AI through the Google Creative AI Lighthouse program to produce an “impossible ad” for their client, Moncler. They break down what this revolutionary project means for the creative process and why human ingenuity and passion remain the most important ingredients for great work.

Australia essentially did it during COVID. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, thinks it’s inevitable. And a growing body of research suggests it could be the answer to AI shattering long-held high rates of employment. A Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is a regular, obligation-free payment to everyone. There are different models, but those key elements endure in research studies and pilot projects around the world. Associate professor of economy and society at Macquarie University, Ben Spies-Butcher, says the JobKeeper and ‘Coronavirus Supplement’ received by millions during the pandemic shows we can create a payment that everyone is entitled to, which would let them live at least a “decent, basic” life. “COVID showed us how precarious the idea of employment is … how shaky those foundations are,” UBI proponent Elise Klein says. The associate professor of public policy at the Crawford School at the Australian National University says COVID provided a “natural experiment” of the impact of a basic income.

The Stanford University Basic Income Lab has tallied about 160 global UBI experiments in the last four decades. They range in the objective they are focused on, the number of people in the study, and the value of the money they receive. While support is growing for a universal basic income, skeptics say it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars and change human behaviours. Simon Cowan, research director at think tank the Centre for Independent Studies, points to studies that show people who were allowed to withdraw super under emergency provisions in COVID spent it on gambling, alcohol and takeaway food.

iPhone Air was the big star unveiled by Apple in early September, but inside was another hardware set launched that day: three new custom Apple microchips. Apple’s A19 Pro SoC prioritizes AI workloads with neural accelerators added to the GPU cores. Replacing Broadcom and Qualcomm parts is the N1 and C1X, Apple’s first iPhone networking chip and second generation iPhone modem. CNBC sat down with three Apple executives for the first U.S. interviews about its move to control all core iPhone chips.

Your ideas matter more than your prompts! This tutorial will show you how to use the documentation from a variety of AI video models to be able to write better prompts for text-to-video generators. Pour your creative energy into your ideas and storytelling rather than crafting a prompt. In this tutorial, I show how to use DeepSeek, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini to write better AI video prompts using documentation from Runway, Veo, Hailuo, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, and Vidu. This workflow keeps me focused on what matters most — the idea, the perspective, the story.

The noise problem that made quantum computers too unstable for real-world use? SOLVED. MIT and the Niels Bohr Institute just cracked real-time noise correction that could unleash quantum systems with MILLIONS of qubits.

We’re talking about computational power that makes today’s supercomputers look like pocket calculators. Drug discovery, climate modeling, financial predictions – everything is about to change.

This isn’t sci-fi speculation. This is happening RIGHT NOW, and the companies who move first will own the next decade.

I’ll walk you through how Marble works, show off examples (from noir detective offices to wild vacation spots I can’t afford), and even break down how I built a short film entirely inside World Labs. You’ll see the workflow—from environments and characters, to AI clean-up tools like Rev, Vo3, and Topaz Astra, all the way into Premiere Pro.

Get the LLM to help you optimize prompting.

In this video, I’ll walk you through my favorite workflows using tools like Veo 3, Heygen, and Runway Act Two. Whether you’re making short clips, dubbing videos, or testing out realistic character animation, these methods will help you create believable lip sync results with AI.

The AI video and image space just keeps getting wilder—Reve drops conversational image editing, Veo-3 “goes free” (sort of), and even HiggsField joins the free train. Today we’re diving into all of it: from cinematic image tests to recreating movie shots, face swaps, community showcases, and new features you don’t want to miss.

If you’re into AI filmmaking, image editing, or creative workflows, this breakdown is packed with examples, tips, and behind-the-scenes tests you can apply to your own projects.
