TikTok has debuted AI Alive, its first image-to-video feature, letting users turn static photos into short videos directly in TikTok Stories. The feature introduces AI-powered animation effects for more dynamic storytelling.

The Details:

  • AI Alive is available through the Story Camera and animates static images with movement and ambient effects.

  • Users can turn photos of skies, oceans, or people into short videos that include realistic sound and motion.

  • Each AI-generated video is labeled as such and includes C2PA metadata to ensure transparency.

  • TikTok scans the uploaded image, text prompt, and final output for policy violations before showing the video to the creator.

  • To try it, open Story Camera, upload a photo, and tap the AI Alive icon on the photo editing screen.

Why it matters:

This update marks TikTok’s move beyond text-to-image tools, challenging rivals like Instagram and Snapchat in AI video creativity. As generative AI becomes more immersive, TikTok is positioning itself as a leader in accessible, safety-focused AI content creation.

In a major AI expansion move, Nvidia and AMD will supply chips for Humain, Saudi Arabia’s new AI firm, under a Trump administration-backed initiative that lifts certain export restrictions. The $10B project aims to turn the Gulf nation into a powerhouse for AI data infrastructure.

The Details:

  • Nvidia and AMD will power Humain’s 1.9 GW of data centers, set to be built by 2030.

  • Nvidia will deploy 18,000 Grace Blackwell chips in the first phase and expand to hundreds of thousands over 5 years.

  • AMD will provide chips and software for data centers spanning Saudi Arabia and the US.

  • Humain will develop Arabic-language large models and local AI infrastructure.

  • The initiative aligns with Saudi mandates to localize data storage and mirrors Amazon, Google, and Oracle’s ongoing expansions in the region.

Why it matters:

This partnership gives Nvidia and AMD a foothold in sovereign AI markets, reducing dependence on US hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon. For Saudi Arabia, it’s a high-stakes bet to lead the AI race while securing data sovereignty and regional tech influence.

OpenAI is launching a new shopping mode in ChatGPT that lets users compare prices, view reviews, and buy products directly in chat. It’s ad-free and includes images, links, and pricing. The feature is rolling out soon to all users, including free accounts.

Amazon unveiled Nova Premier, a powerful AI model with a 1M token context window for deep reasoning and multimodal tasks. It powers multi-agent workflows and can train smaller versions like Nova Micro, now available on Amazon Bedrock for scalable, cost-efficient deployments.

Tavus unveiled Hummingbird-0, a zero-shot lip-sync model that needs only one video to match any voice. Built on Phoenix-3, it delivers ultra-realistic results with no training required. Try it now on Fal or via Tavus’ API.

Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses now auto-record voice commands by default, with no way to fully disable it—only delete or turn off voice control. The change helps train Meta’s AI, but raises privacy concerns as the AI-powered mic stays live unless fully shut off.

Duolingo is phasing out human contractors, shifting content creation and other repetitive tasks to AI. CEO Luis von Ahn says future hiring will only happen if AI can’t do the job. AI is also now used in hiring decisions and performance reviews.
