The artificial intelligence landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with new tools emerging for content creation and infrastructure development. Clipfly AI, for instance, offers a simple text-to-video solution for marketers and small businesses, integrating AI voiceovers, image generation, and auto captions, though it requires precise prompts for optimal results. Similarly, Kreado AI provides a platform for creating multilingual videos using over 700 virtual avatars and 1600 AI voices across more than 140 languages, even featuring AI voice cloning capabilities.
Concerns about data privacy and AI training are also prominent. HackerOne CEO Kara Sprague recently assured security researchers that the company does not use their bug submissions or confidential data to train AI models, with their AI system, Hai, designed to assist rather than replace human researchers. This commitment is echoed by other platforms like Intigriti and Bugcrowd. Meanwhile, a recent court ruling highlighted that conversations with AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, may not be private, prompting calls for new federal privacy laws akin to HIPAA to protect personal information shared with these systems.
In workforce development, companies are actively integrating AI skills. Accenture, for example, trained 550,000 employees on AI last year and now links promotions directly to the practical application of AI tools, a trend also seen at KPMG and Ring. On a broader scale, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) is a finalist for the Bellwether Award for its Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network (MAIN), the first statewide AI workforce initiative in the US. MAIN partners with tech giants like Intel and Amazon Web Services to offer free online courses and AI labs, providing thousands with practical AI skills and credentials.
Technological advancements in AI efficiency and application are also noteworthy. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is proving more effective than simply "context stuffing" for large language models, as it selectively retrieves relevant information, enhancing accuracy and reducing costs. Furthermore, INRIX has launched new AI-powered traffic products, including AI-generated radio reports and enhanced incident detection, to help transportation professionals move from reactive responses to proactive planning for safer roads and reduced congestion. Internationally, Professor Lior Rokach from Ben-Gurion University has joined a United Nations panel focused on AI safety, emphasizing the importance of ensuring AI operates as intended without causing harm.
However, not all developments are met with universal acclaim. The No-AI Credo 23 Film Festival, founded by Justine Bateman, is actively countering generative AI in filmmaking. The festival features prominent directors like Sean Baker, Gus Van Sant, and Matthew Weiner, aiming to build a movement that questions AI's role in creative work and champions human artistry over AI-generated content.

Clipfly AI Review Simple Video Tool
Clipfly AI is a new tool that turns text into videos quickly. It is designed for marketers and small businesses who need to make videos fast. The tool combines text to video, AI voiceovers, image generation, and auto captions. While it can create usable videos from detailed prompts, the AI struggles with specific context and offers limited editing options. Users need to provide very clear instructions for the best results.
Kreado AI Creates Multilingual Videos with Virtual Avatars
Kreado AI is a platform that creates videos using virtual avatars and AI voices. It offers over 700 avatars and supports more than 140 languages with 1600 voices. A key feature is AI voice cloning, allowing users to use their own voice in different languages. The tool can also turn blog posts into videos. High-quality audio is needed for the best voice cloning results.
HackerOne Assures Researchers AI Won't Train on Their Data
HackerOne has addressed security researchers' worries about their bug submissions being used to train AI. CEO Kara Sprague stated that the company does not use researcher submissions or confidential data to train AI models. Their AI system, Hai, is meant to help with reports and rewards, not replace human researchers. Other platforms like Intigriti and Bugcrowd also confirmed they do not use researcher data for AI training.
AI Chatbots Need Privacy Laws Like HIPAA
A recent court ruling highlighted that AI chatbot conversations may not be private, even when shared with lawyers. Many Americans share personal information with chatbots like ChatGPT, but privacy policies often allow disclosure. The article argues that the US needs new federal laws, similar to HIPAA for health data, to protect conversations with AI. These laws should ensure clear consent and require breach notifications when privacy is compromised.
Accenture Links AI Skills to Employee Promotions
Accenture trained 550,000 employees on AI last year and now ties promotions to practical AI use. The company expects employees to show real results from using AI tools. This move reflects a growing trend where companies like KPMG and Ring are also linking AI proficiency to career advancement. The goal is to encourage a culture of learning and innovation in the age of AI.
INRIX Launches New AI Traffic Products
INRIX has released new AI-powered traffic products to improve safety and reduce congestion. These updates include AI-generated radio traffic reports, global Average Daily Traffic data, and enhanced incident detection. The new tools help transportation professionals move from reactive responses to proactive planning. INRIX aims to help cities and agencies make faster decisions using data and predictions.
Israeli Professor Joins UN AI Safety Panel
Lior Rokach, a professor from Ben-Gurion University, has joined a United Nations panel on artificial intelligence. His focus will be on AI safety and ensuring AI operates as intended without causing harm. The panel aims to provide scholarly assessments and monitor AI development. Rokach emphasized the importance of having Israel represented, despite its smaller size in terms of computing resources compared to countries like the US and China.
MGCCC Recognized for AI Network Development
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) is a finalist for the Bellwether Award for its work on the Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network (MAIN). MAIN is the first statewide AI workforce initiative in the US, connecting educational institutions with tech partners like Intel and Amazon Web Services. It offers free online courses and AI labs to provide practical AI skills and credentials to thousands of learners.
RAG Beats Context Stuffing for AI Efficiency
New language models can process large amounts of text, but Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is still more effective than simply putting all data into the prompt. RAG selectively retrieves the most relevant information, improving accuracy and reducing costs. Context stuffing, while using large context windows, can lead to the model missing important details. RAG and large context windows work best together.
Filmmakers Rally Against AI at No-AI Festival
Director Sean Baker will speak at the No-AI Credo 23 Film Festival, which aims to counter generative AI in filmmaking. The festival, founded by Justine Bateman, highlights films with significant human craft. Other speakers include Gus Van Sant and Matthew Weiner. The event seeks to build a movement questioning AI's role in creative work and support filmmakers who prioritize human artistry.
