Google Photos rolls out tools to turn your photos into anime, comics, and more
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is getting a Veo 2-powered feature to turn photos into videos. Users will also be able to turn photos into illustrations. The app is adding a new 'Create' tab to put all of these tools in one place. The photo-to-video tool is also rolling out to YouTube Shorts. Google Photos isn't just a place where you can store your photos. It also contains various tools to alter your images however you want. Adding on to the tools you already have, the app is getting two new ones that are powered by AI. And to make these tools easier to find, a new tab is also rolling out. Starting today, Google is rolling out a Veo 2-powered photo-to-video feature in the Photos app. Available to Android and iOS users in the US, this tool will transform static photos into six-second video clips. As the company explains, this feature is similar to the photo-to-video functionality that recently rolled out to Gemini. You'll be able to create a short clip by selecting a photo and choosing one of two prompts: 'Subtle movements' or 'I'm feeling lucky.' The other new feature is called Remix, which allows you to turn a photo into an illustration. This tool will offer a variety of styles to choose from, like anime, comics, sketches, or 3D animation. Google says that this capability will start rolling out in the US in the next few weeks. As mentioned earlier, Google is making it easier to find these tools and discover others. It's doing so by putting all of the tools under one tab called 'Create.' The Create tab will appear in the bottom bar between Collections and Search. However, this tab won't come to the app until August. Google adds that all images and videos created by its AI in the Photos app will have an invisible SynthID digital watermark. This generated content will have visible watermarks as well. The Photos app isn't getting all of the attention today, however. YouTube announced that Shorts is also getting the photo-to-video function over the next week. This will initially be available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The company plans to expand more regions later in the year. However, the new AI playground feature — a place where you'll find Google's latest AI creation tools, a gallery of examples, and pre-filled prompts — is available on YouTube starting today.

Adobe's CTO is getting more creative on the software maker's approach to generating ‘safe' AI tools
The proliferation of artificial intelligence image and video generators has made it easy for online users to create billions of memes ranging from baby versions of The Real Housewives of Atlanta to humorous takes on the Coldplay kiss cam viral moment just a few days ago. But these tools have raised serious legal questions about the copyright protection for the assets that these AI models are trained on. That has resulted in numerous lawsuits being filed by individual artists, Hollywood studios, and media companies, who all assert that some of the most popular AI systems are trained on unauthorized images and videos. Ongoing litigation includes Disney and Universal suing image generation tool Midjourney, the New York Times squaring up against ChatGPT owner OpenAI and Microsoft, and the Wall Street Journal and New York Post versus AI startup Perplexity. Ely Greenfield, chief technology officer at software maker Adobe's digital media business, has spent over two years pitching a different path. Ever since the debut of a text-to-image model known as Firefly in March 2023, Adobe has touted the company's own creative generative AI models that are only trained on content that it has rights to use, including Adobe Stock photos and licensed artistic content. Firefly's models have been integrated in Adobe's suite of apps including Photoshop and Illustrator, and thus far, businesses and individual creators have generated over 26 billion assets. Big names including toy maker Mattel and cosmetics manufacturer Estée Lauder have signed on to Firefly for creative ideation, editing, and asset generation purposes. 'Every piece of content that we train on is something that we have acquired the license of, or that is published under a verifiable and known license,' says Greenfield. This approach does come with some limitations. If Firefly were asked to generate an image of a Disney cartoon character, like say Mickey Mouse, 'it would do a horrible job of it,' concedes Greenfield. 'And that's by design and on purpose.' Greenfield says that AI tools based on every image found on the internet produce less desired outputs, not just for potentially infringing on IP, but because it is representative of a vast trove of data that doesn't always have the best quality. 'There's the raw science of how you build the model, but a massive amount of work goes into data curation and preparation,' says Greenfield. 'The average piece of content on the internet isn't necessarily what you want to put in your ad.' Adobe's buttoned-up AI approach means the company's off-the-shelf Firefly offering would have little use to a consumer-facing company like Coca-Cola. But under an enterprise licensing agreement, Adobe says it can train a private version of Firefly that's exclusively trained on the beverage company's branding and style. Since Firefly's launch, Adobe has had to make some modifications to the images in the company's asset bank. Early on, generative AI wasn't great at producing clear images of hands, so Adobe had to reach out to the photographers it works with to get more licensed pictures of hands to train the AI properly. All Firefly content also goes through a moderation process that includes a mix of human and computer oversight, eliminating harmful images, but also those that may contain sensitive IP. A photographer may have exclusive license to an image that they produced, but if there's a trademark asset like a Nike Swoosh or Starbucks Siren logo, Adobe will nix the image. Adobe has lauded the proliferation of Firefly, reporting in the most recent second fiscal quarter ending May 30 that traffic to the Firefly App grew 30% from the prior quarter, with paid subscriptions nearly doubling over the same period. More recently, Adobe has integrated image and video models from OpenAI, Google, Pika Luma AI, and Runway into the company's Firefly app. This runs parallel with the public's shifting views on the ethical uses of AI, as well as some recent court decisions that AI hyperscalers have won. Anthropic, in one example, saw a ruling go its way last month that said the company could train models using published books without consent from the authors. To be sure, it will be years before the courts resolve these thorny legal matters, and the right use of images, text, and audio assets will almost certainly vary across the globe. For Adobe, Greenfield says pulling in these partnership models reflected an evolution to how creative professionals are working with AI today. He says that customers want access to a wide variety of AI models, especially as these technologies quickly advance. This is similar to the multi-modal approach most CTOs and chief information officers have embraced when deploying AI coding tools for software developers or the application of other uses of AI in marketing, legal, and communications to improve worker productivity. Adobe has added content credentials to make it clear to marketers when the assets they are creating are safe to use for commercial production (with Firefly) versus for ideation purposes (the external partner models). Customers have the final say on what path works best for them. 'We have a lot of customers who have different opinions on when to use different types of models and how they feel about commercial safety,' says Greenfield. 'A lot of them feel that in ideation, they're open to using anything.' John Kell Send thoughts or suggestions to CIO Intelligence here.

How To Make Seamless AI-Driven Streaming Ads: 12 Expert Tips
Netflix is experimenting with AI-powered advertising that mirrors the visual tone and storytelling style of its original content. For brands, this offering presents a new frontier: less intrusive, more immersive marketing that fits into the viewing experience instead of interrupting it. Of course, this opportunity comes with a creative risk: Will a brand integration feel like part of the story or disrupt it? Here, 12 members of Forbes Agency Council share how they envision this AI-ad innovation evolving. Check out their insights and advice below to get it right. 1. Tell A Coherent, Cinematic Story This new model marks a broader shift: Brands are no longer inserting ads into content—they're becoming the content. Audiences reward coherence and craft, not disruption. The future lies in cinematic storytelling where brands feel native, emotionally resonant and worth rewatching. - Sebastian Bondo Petit, WHY CGI 2. Create Emotional Alignment In Immersive Scenes If done right, it could make ads feel more like immersive scenes than interruptions. The key is emotional alignment—if the tone, lighting and pacing match the show, the viewer stays engaged. I don't think it's about being louder; I think it's about being 'invisible' while still leaving a mark. - Miller McCoy, Limitless MFG 3. Add Value To The Viewer Experience Brands have a unique chance to engage audiences in more immersive ways, including content that includes brand integration. This strategy focuses on adding value to the viewer experience, allowing brands to enhance the entertainment rather than interrupt it and contribute meaningfully instead of competing for attention. - Jessica Hawthorne-Castro, Hawthorne Advertising 4. Don't Try To Steal The Spotlight This is a great idea that is doomed to failure. AI-generated promotion woven into the style of a show or movie will make consumers much more likely to accept and enjoy the advert. However, CEOs and marketers will hate the idea of their product not being the star of the show. They'll jump on the new format, but ruin it by doing everything they can to make their product stand out like a sore thumb. - Mike Maynard, Napier Partnership Limited Forbes Agency Council is an invitation-only community for executives in successful public relations, media strategy, creative and advertising agencies. Do I qualify? 5. Insist AI Train On Brand Guidelines AI-driven, in-world advertising has real potential, but only if Netflix provides robust brand tools to train AI with each brand's visual and tonal guidelines. An on-demand creative strategy can match the narrative context, but without structured inputs, the result risks tonal dissonance. If executed right, this becomes a seamless, dynamic layer of storytelling. If not, it breaks immersion. - Cagan Sean Yuksel, Dreamspace 6. Make Ads Visual Parts Of The Storyline We, as humans, are inherently visual creatures. Give us images or video, or give us death—not death in reality, but all text and no pictures make your advertising dull. Ads need to be compelling, intriguing and entertaining to capture your audience. It's far easier to gain acceptance by making your ads unobtrusive. Be a part of the storyline. There's huge potential when it's done right. - Terry Zelen, Zelen Communications 7. Adopt It Early And Get The Context Right This is product placement on steroids. Brands that jump on it early and nail the context will win big. The key is blending in so well that you feel like part of the story, not a distraction from it. If your brand can entertain and sell without breaking immersion, you'll crush it. The future of ads isn't interruption; it's seamless and subtle integration. - Tony Pec, Y Not You Media 8. Be Memorable Without Breaking Immersion It could be a game-changer for brands that align creatively with the content. Ads styled like the shows create a seamless experience that feels less like marketing and more like storytelling. If done right, it can boost engagement and brand recall without disrupting the viewer's experience. The key is blending in while still being memorable. - Guy Leon Sheetrit, Guac Digital 9. Extend The Story, Don't Interrupt It If done well, AI-integrated ads could become story extensions instead of interruptions. For brands, the key will be creative alignment and staying true to the show's tone while offering value to the viewer. It's a powerful opportunity, but authenticity and restraint will separate the leaders from the noise. - Mary Ann O'Brien, OBI Creative 10. Prioritize Meaning, Not Mimicry If brands use this to blend in, they'll disappear. Disruption doesn't come from mimicking style—it comes from using context to make meaning. Brands that prioritize resonance over placement here will win. Make something that shows effort and values the viewer's time (thoughtful, not lazy), and they'll reciprocate—not because it targeted them, but because your AI-driven ads earned their attention. - Shanna Apitz, Hunt Adkins 11. Bring Narratives That Feel Native If Netflix pulls this off, it will reset expectations. The brands that benefit most will be those with a clear narrative and strong creative systems in place. This isn't about fitting into someone else's show; it's about showing up with content and stories that feel native to the world you're joining. - Kyle Arteaga, The Bulleit Group 12. Make Ads Feel Like Subplots, Not Pauses For brands, this unlocks a transmedia branding opportunity: embedding their narrative across entertainment layers. Success will hinge on narrative continuity. The ad must feel like a subplot, not a pause. When brand storytelling mirrors the emotional arc of the content, resonance becomes retention. - Vaibhav Kakkar, Digital Web Solutions
