VISUAL CREATORS

The AI video frontier just got more interesting with Runway and Getty Images teaming up to offer custom AI video models for enterprises.

It's a move away from novelty AI towards serious B2B solutions.

The implications here are significant – imagine large-scale customers like media companies and studios being able to generate video content with their own AI.

This could change the game for traditional video production houses, and not in a good way.

While it's still early days for this partnership, it's a clear signal that AI in video is about to get more professional and more proprietary.

Is AI about to steal creatives' reels?

 CREATOR ECONOMY

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is launching a platform that allows businesses and creators to create their own AI chatbots.

The move follows similar initiatives from other major tech firms, such as Facebook's Meta and OpenAI.

While previous attempts to popularize branded chatbots in the West have largely fizzled out, the surge in popularity of OpenAI's conversational AI model, GPT-3, suggests the time might be right for a second try.

Will branded AI chatbots take off with creatives?
