The Future of Media is Here, and It's Powered by AI


From music to video and even everyday productivity, artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it's actively reshaping the media landscape. This week's headlines show how AI is transforming creative processes, with new tools from Google like Veo 3 and Genie 3 turning photos into dynamic video clips and allowing users to build interactive virtual worlds. In the music industry, AI's influence is causing both excitement and controversy, as artists like The Velvet Sundown embrace it while others grapple with AI-generated songs appearing under the names of deceased artists. Beyond creation, AI is also enhancing user experience, with Netflix revamping its platform with AI search and Samsung's Galaxy AI streamlining tasks on your phone. Meanwhile, traditional media continues to evolve: Spotify is finally poised to launch its lossless audio tier, and an iconic music legend, Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away at 76.
