🎧 Spotify Opens Doors to AI-Narrated Audiobooks

Partnership with ElevenLabs Streamlines Production for Authors

Hello! 👋👋

Here are 5 things you missed today in the world of AI. Because we get it, life is busy & who has the time to sit around and keep up with the fastest moving industry right now - here are 5 things we think you need to know in the world of AI.

1 -🎧 Spotify Opens Doors to AI-Narrated Audiobooks

Spotify is expanding its audiobook offerings by partnering with ElevenLabs, a leading AI voice technology provider. This collaboration will allow authors to easily create and distribute AI-narrated audiobooks, making the process more accessible and cost-effective, particularly for independent creators and older works. While emphasizing its support for human narrators, Spotify acknowledges the potential of AI voices to broaden the audiobook market and will clearly label all AI-narrated titles for listeners.

2 - 👑 ChatGPT Still Reigns Supreme Amidst AI Competition

Despite the buzz surrounding Chinese AI platform DeepSeek, OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to experience explosive growth, reaching 400 million weekly active users. Experts cite ChatGPT's superior performance, speed, and accuracy, as well as concerns about DeepSeek's data handling practices, as key factors in its continued dominance.

3 - 🔭 Google Lens Arrives on iPhone, Bringing Circle to Search-like Functionality

Google is bringing its popular screen search feature to iPhones. Now, iOS users can easily search anything on their screen—text, images, or video—directly within the Google app and Chrome browser using Lens. This new functionality offers a similar experience to Android's Circle to Search, allowing users to quickly look up items, define words, identify objects, and more, all without taking a screenshot.

4 - 🐇 Rabbit's AI Agent: A Glimpse of What Could Have Been

Rabbit showcases its "generalist Android agent" performing tasks within Android apps, reminiscent of the functionality promised for the delayed and underwhelming R1 device. The demo, however, conspicuously omits the R1, raising questions about the device's future and highlighting the gap between promise and reality.

5 - ✌🏻 Nvidia Unveils AI-Powered Sign Language Learning Platform

Nvidia has launched "Signs," a free AI-driven platform designed to make learning American Sign Language (ASL) more accessible. Featuring a 3D avatar and AI-powered feedback, Signs aims to bridge communication gaps and foster inclusivity, while also demonstrating Nvidia's commitment to practical AI applications beyond its core chip business.
