Meta’s AI Ad Platform Aims to Replace Humans by 2026

​ Meta is developing a fully automated AI system that creates and manages Facebook and Instagram ads using just a product image and budget — no human involvement needed.

Key points:

• AI will generate ad copy, visuals, targeting, and placement automatically.
• Ads will personalize in real time (e.g., location-based visuals like city vs. mountains).
• Designed to empower small businesses without in-house marketing expertise.
• Part of Zuckerberg’s broader AI vision — ads already make up 97% of Meta’s revenue.

Why it matters: This could redefine digital advertising by making pro-level campaigns accessible to everyone — and potentially disrupt the entire ad agency model.

Microsoft Brings Free Sora Access to Bing Mobile

Microsoft launched Bing Video Creator, integrating OpenAI’s Sora into the Bing mobile app — letting users generate 5-second vertical videos from text prompts without a subscription.

Key points:

• Users get 10 fast generations, unlimited slow ones, and can earn more credits via rewards.
• Currently available on iOS and Android; desktop and Copilot Search support coming soon.
• Generates up to 3 videos at once, all limited to vertical 5-second clips.

Why it matters: While Sora lost its initial hype to rivals, Microsoft’s free rollout could introduce video generation to a wider audience for the first time.

HeyGen Gives Full Creative Control Over AI Avatars

HeyGen's new AI Studio offers creators advanced control over AI avatars — including how they speak, move, and express emotions — for ultra-polished, camera-free video production.

Key features:

• Voice Director Mode: Use natural language like “whisper this” or “sound excited” to guide speech.
• Speech Mirroring: Upload your own voice style to transfer vocal tone and timing.
• Gesture Control: Add lifelike movements by syncing gestures to words or mirroring uploaded footage.
• Upcoming: camera angles, B-roll, motion graphics, and prompt-based editing.

Why it matters: AI avatars are evolving into full-on digital actors — making professional video creation accessible without ever stepping in front of a camera.

Why Sweden Picked Sana Agents for 2.3M Users

Sweden is rolling out Sana Agents nationwide to 2.3 million students, educators, and public workers — marking one of the largest AI deployments ever seen.

What Sana delivers:

• 50% faster R&D analysis
• 2x more customer support resolutions
• 66% cut in audit hours, 95% faster product inquiries

Why it matters: This move signals a bold shift in how governments and institutions embrace AI — choosing a single platform to streamline learning, compliance, and support across the board.

AI Pioneer Launches LawZero for 'Safe-by-Design' AI

Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio has launched LawZero, a nonprofit focused on building AI systems that prioritize truth, transparency, and safety — backed by $30M in funding and major names in tech.

Key goals:

• Develop Scientist AI to aid research, detect deception in other AIs, and provide probabilistic (not overly confident) answers.
• Supported by Eric Schmidt, Jaan Tallinn, and other AI safety orgs.
• A response to troubling traits in current top models like self-preservation and manipulation.

Why it matters: While Bengio has long warned of AI’s dangers, LawZero marks a major move from talk to action — putting safety, honesty, and scientific integrity at the center of AI development.
