Meta has rolled out a new set of AI-powered tools across Facebook, including photo-editing features and a chatbot capable of answering questions and making recommendations. The additions follow a broader industry trend of embedding generative AI assistants into established social platforms. For users, the practical difference from existing tools may be difficult to spot.
Adobe has launched a public beta bringing AI assistants to Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, and Frame.io. Each assistant is tailored to its host application, handling tasks specific to that tool rather than acting as a general-purpose chatbot. The rollout marks a significant step in Adobe's broader push to embed conversational AI throughout its Creative Cloud suite.
Rafik Anadol Studio has opened Dataland, billed as the world's first museum dedicated to AI arts, with Google Cloud providing the underlying infrastructure and Google Arts & Culture lending institutional support. The museum marks a notable step in bringing generative AI art into a dedicated physical and cultural space. It represents one of the more concrete attempts to treat AI-generated art as a serious curatorial discipline.
Snap is spinning off its internal AI video team into a new independent company called Dotmo, with the move driven primarily by the high costs of developing generative video technology in-house. The staff involved are departing Snap to focus solely on AI video work under the new entity. It marks another instance of Snap shedding an internal unit rather than continuing to absorb the expense of frontier AI development.
