🔥 What’s Hot in AI News:

TikTok ads may soon contain AI-generated avatars of your favorite creators

TikTok is enhancing its Symphony ad suite with AI tools for creating digital avatars and language dubbing to help brands and creators expand globally. The Symphony Digital Avatars can be stock or custom, mimicking specific creators or brand spokespersons and supporting multiple languages. Symphony AI Dubbing enables content translation and dubbing into over 10 languages. These tools aim to overcome language barriers in marketing and add a personal touch, with all AI-generated videos labeled accordingly.

Chrome on Android can read webpages out loud from within the app

Google Chrome on Android now includes a "Listen to this page" feature that reads webpages aloud, offering controls like pausing, adjusting speed, and skipping. Users can change the reading voice and language, with options including English, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, and Spanish. Unlike Google Assistant, which moves users out of Chrome, this feature operates within the browser. The feature is also being tested for desktops and is similar to Safari’s “Listen to Page” on iPhone. Currently, it’s available in the beta version of Chrome.

McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now

McDonald’s is ending its AI drive-thru ordering program with IBM by July 26, 2024, after testing it in over 100 locations. Despite the decision, McDonald's remains confident that voice-ordering technology will play a role in its future. The company may explore other partnerships, like a potential deal with Google. Fast food chains like Wendy’s, White Castle, and Carl’s Jr. are also experimenting with AI in drive-thrus, indicating a broader industry trend towards automation.

Runway’s new video-generating AI, Gen-3, offers improved controls

Runway has introduced Gen-3 Alpha, an AI model that generates video clips from text and images, offering faster creation and improved controls. The model supports 5- and 10-second clips, excels in creating expressive human characters, but struggles with complex interactions. Runway plans further enhancements and safety measures. The company collaborates with entertainment partners to maintain consistent and stylistic content across scenes.
