Google is expanding its generative AI capabilities across various photo and video platforms. The company is rolling out AI-powered features in YouTube Shorts, allowing creators to generate new video elements from text prompts and using a photo as the basis for a new video. Additionally, Google Photos will gain AI video-generation capabilities. Initially based on the Veo 2 model, these features are set to upgrade to the more advanced Veo 3 later this summer. The YouTube AI features are currently limited to select countries but plan to expand globally in the near future.
