YouTube adds generative-AI tools to Shorts
YouTube will let creators type a prompt and get music, images, or entire video clips auto-generated for Shorts. The tools are integrated into the existing upload flow and will roll out globally over the next few weeks. Google says early testers cut production time by half and doubled watch-through rates on new clips.
If your brand spends on short-form ads, you can now generate fresh creative in-house instead of waiting on agencies. Test a prompt pack against your current best-performing reel and measure cost-per-view before reallocating budget.
OpenAI restricts ChatGPT for users under 18
OpenAI will require ID verification or parent consent for new ChatGPT accounts and will disable image-generation features for minors by default. The change follows EU pressure over child-safety rules and rolls out worldwide next quarter. Existing teen users will get a 30-day grace period to complete the new checks.
If your product embeds ChatGPT, update onboarding flows and privacy notices now. Waiting risks sudden API blocks that break customer support chats or student-facing tools. Legal teams should ready a compliance brief for the board.
OpenAI hires xAI’s former CFO Mike Liberatore
OpenAI quietly brought on Mike Liberatore, ex-CFO at Elon Musk’s xAI, to help structure future mega-funding rounds and manage its growing cloud spend. Liberatore previously raised over $10 billion in debt for Tesla’s supply-chain projects.
Top finance talent is moving to labs with relentless GPU bills. You should benchmark compensation for senior FP&A and treasury roles—competition now comes from frontier-model makers as well as Fortune 100 peers.

Q: What benefit does AI bring to supply chain management?
Correct answer: Provides real-time visibility and optimization of logistics.
Reasoning: AI ingests live data from across the supply chain (orders, sensor feeds, traffic, and weather) and spots problems early. It then tweaks routes, stock levels, and schedules on the fly to save time and money.
