Google Vids Gets Smarter with AI Video Creation: Google rolled out new updates to its Vids platform, including text-prompted avatar direction, customizable characters, and integration with its Veo 3.1 model for generating short video clips. Users can now export videos directly to YouTube, use a Chrome extension for screen recording, and enhance content with AI-generated music and sound effects. These upgrades position Vids as a stronger competitor in the AI video space, aiming to simplify and scale content creation for users.

Amazon Hit with Lawsuit Over AI Training Tactics: Amazon is being sued by a group of YouTube creators who claim the company scraped their videos without permission to train its Nova Reel AI model. The lawsuit alleges Amazon bypassed YouTube’s protections using automated tools, essentially taking content creators spent years building and using it to power a commercial product. Now they’re going after damages and trying to shut it down, arguing this crosses a clear legal line. This is another example of the growing tension between AI companies and creators who feel like their work is being taken without credit or pay.

Hershey Is Embedding AI Into Its Entire Operation: Hershey is going all in on AI, not just for insights but to actually run parts of its business day-to-day. The company plans to use AI across sourcing, manufacturing, and fulfillment to make faster decisions, reduce waste, and keep up with shifting demand and costs. Instead of sitting in dashboards, AI is being built directly into operations, from supply chain planning to plant automation. This signals a bigger shift: AI isn’t just supporting business decisions anymore, it’s starting to drive them.

Remember when the U.S. government tried to blacklist Anthropic?

Now the UK is stepping in at the exact moment things are shaky and trying to bring them closer. They’re pitching an expanded London presence and even a potential dual listing, with support from Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s team.

What matters:

  • Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is meeting with UK officials in late May

  • The push comes right after rising tension with the U.S. government

  • The UK wants a bigger seat in the AI race

Late May is the next key moment to watch.

That’s a Wrap for Today 👋
