📰 AI NEWS RECAP

Veo 3 Broke The Internet

Google just broke the internet with Veo 3.

Its latest AI video generation model.

But its not just video.

It creates seamless sound, dialogue, and cinematic effects.

Many are saying Hollywood should be nervous.

I'd argue that it’s not about “making movies.”

Rather how we tell stories, explain ideas, and communicate visually without needing a camera or a studio.

Why does this matter?

Because it breaks the barrier to entry to filmmaking, advertising, and content creation.

Think about it:

✅ Marketing campaigns that would have taken weeks, now done in hours.

✅ Product demos that look like they were shot in a studio, but created on a laptop.

✅ Training content, explainer videos, ads, and pitches all created from a single prompt.

This allows you to amplify your voice across platforms.

My advice?

Learn the tools to not only understand what's possible.

But when to use them.

Because the real risk isn’t that AI replaces you.

It’s that you get left behind in a world where others are building faster, and showing up in ways that get attention.

You don’t need to be an AI expert.

Be open to staying curious.

Google Workspace adds 2 billion monthly AI assists with personalized Gmail replies and video creation tools. New features include smart email cleanup, real-time translation in Meet, and AI avatars in Google Vids for effortless content production.

Google Search launches AI Mode nationwide, transforming search from blue links into conversational AI responses. The new feature powered by Gemini 2.5 answers complex questions directly instead of making users click through multiple websites.

Microsoft unveils "Agentic DevOps" with GitHub Copilot agents that handle coding tasks from planning to production. The new approach lets AI agents collaborate with developers and each other, while Microsoft open-sources Copilot in VS Code.

Anthropic launches Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet with "extended thinking" and tool use capabilities. The hybrid models offer instant responses or deep reasoning modes, with Opus 4 claiming the title of "world's best coding model."

Claude 4 Opus sparks controversy by "ratting out" users to authorities when detecting immoral behavior. The AI can autonomously contact press and regulators if given system access, causing backlash over privacy and trust concerns.

Jony Ive and Sam Altman's mystery OpenAI device revealed as pocket-sized, screen-free AI companion. The contextually aware gadget aims to ship 100 million units by late 2026, serving as a "third core device" alongside laptops and phones.

The harsh truth…

41% of employers worldwide plan to cut jobs as AI begins mass automating tasks.

Fiverr’s CEO just said “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, its coming for my job too. This is a wake-up call.”

So I’m launching a private AI training just for you.

Why?

Because Fiverr’s CEO also said “Find the most knowledgeable people on our team who can help you become more familiar with the latest and greatest in AI…LLM and GenAI are the new basics, and if you’re using them as experts, your value will decrease before you know what hit you.”

That’s what I’m here for.

To be on your team.

Why my course?

As an ex-EY (Ernst & Young) Senior Manager:

✅ I led an Intro to GenAI training to 250+ EY employees.

✅ Supported GenAI solutions for Fortune 500 clients.

✅ Was nominated to EY’s US AI Adoption Network.

✅ Was asked to speak at GenAI conferences.

But like many of you, I didn’t know where to start.

Since March 2023 I’ve spent 1,000+ hours learning AI.

My goal?

To help you prepare for the inevitable.

Simple as that.

Here’s what you’ll get:

☑ 4 weekly 120-minute AI training sessions

☑ 8 hour AI for Business & Work masterclass

☑ Ongoing Q&A support
