🏆🎟️ And the award for best use of AI goes to… | If you haven’t seen this wild example of AI creativity yet, you’re missing out. This Twitter user’s post about an unexpected (and mind-blowing) AI use case has everyone buzzing. We can’t wait to see what other applications this will be used in!

🗣️💬 SocialAI: A social app where AI does ALL the talking | Imagine posting your thoughts, but instead of humans, AI bots flood your feed with comments. SocialAI takes the concept of social media and flips it into an AI-powered private diary. This might be the future of journaling, personal Boards of Directors... or just the next level of weirdness. Either way, it’s all about AI bots hanging on your every word.

💼🕵️ LinkedIn: Your friendly neighborhood data miner | Turns out, LinkedIn isn't just for humble-bragging about your latest promotion. They're using your professional musings and data to train AI. So next time you update your skills, remember: you might be teaching a robot how to steal your job. On the bright side, at least someone's reading your posts about "synergy" and "thought leadership." P.S. - Don’t worry, you can opt-out of this.

🎬🤖 Lionsgate teams up with AI—Is Hollywood ready? | Lionsgate has partnered with Runway to use AI tools in movie production, blending tech with Hollywood magic. This collaboration is all about speeding up visual effects, making movies faster and smarter. Could this be the future of blockbusters?

🚗💡 AI is the new automobile, and it’s time to hop on now! | Just like cars replaced horses, AI is about to change everything—jobs, industries, and how we live. John Hope Bryant, co-chair of the AI Ethics Council, explains how we can steer this revolution toward creating jobs and uplifting underserved communities. The best part? We’re shaping a future where AI can be a force for good—if we get it right.

📹🧑‍🤝‍🧑 YouTube’s latest feature: Connecting creator fans like never before | YouTube is launching tools to build mini-communities around influencers. Now, creator fans can connect with each other and form micro-communities, turning the platform into more than just a place for videos—it’s becoming a space for real interactions.

🌊🚀 AI takes the plunge—transforming offshore wind inspections | Say goodbye to slow and dangerous manual checks and inspections. Beam’s AI-driven autonomous underwater vehicle is shaking up the offshore wind industry by making inspections faster, safer, cheaper, and smarter. It’s already making waves in Scotland’s Seagreen site, gathering top-notch data with zero human involvement. Think of how many other industries and applications this kind of technology can benefit.
