Google is testing a new feature called ‘brainstorm with Gemini’ on YouTube, allowing creators to generate video topic, title, and thumbnail ideas using Gemini AI. This feature is currently in a limited beta phase, with selected creators providing feedback to help shape its development.

Nvidia and Shutterstock have partnered to bring generative AI to 3D modeling, allowing users to create assets using text and image prompts. The new feature is launching in beta for enterprise customers, with potential for wider availability in the future.
Despite the hype surrounding generative AI in recent months, a new study suggests that regular use of these tools is still relatively low. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the most widely used, with 2% of respondents in France and the UK, and 7% in the US using it daily. However, between 19% and 30% of respondents haven’t even heard of any of the most popular generative AI tools. Younger people are more likely to use generative AI regularly, with 56% of those aged between 18 and 24 saying they’ve used ChatGPT at least once. Going forward, the study predicts that generative AI will be driven by a combination of professional adaptation, workplace products, and the integration of AI elements into social media and search engines.

Meta also raised its spending projections for this year, including capital expenditure and total expenses.
