Overview

• Google Photos on Android and iOS in the US now supports six-second AI-generated video clips via its Veo 2 model from a new Create tab.
• YouTube Shorts users in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can now create variable-length AI-generated videos and access generative doodle and selfie effects through a new AI Playground hub.
• A Remix tool in Google Photos transforms still images into anime, comics, sketches, and 3D animations without custom prompts.
• All AI outputs carry invisible SynthID digital watermarks and visible labels on videos, and users can rate their accuracy with thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback.
• Google says the built-in features are experimental steps toward democratizing AI creativity while addressing deepfake and misinformation concerns.
