Netflix’s AI era begins

Netflix Goes All In on Generative AI

Netflix is rewriting the script for film production. During its latest earnings call, the company said it’s “very well positioned” to use generative AI across production. CEO Ted Sarandos framed AI as a tool, not a threat: “It takes a great artist to make something great,” he said. “AI just gives them better tools.”

That’s not just talk. Netflix has already used AI to collapse buildings in The Eternaut, de-age actors in Happy Gilmore 2, and design sets for Billionaires’ Bunker. Behind the scenes, the company’s betting that AI will make content creation more efficient—a key edge that could save time and money in a crowded streaming race.

But hold the applause: Hollywood’s creative unions are still wary, especially after OpenAI’s Sora 2 video model reignited fears of deepfakes and unlicensed likeness use. SAG-AFTRA and actors like Bryan Cranston have urged studios to draw a hard line between “AI-assisted” and “AI-generated.”

Google’s AI Studio Turns Anyone Into an App Builder

Google just made vibe-working a thing. Its newly upgraded AI Studio lets anyone, not just coders, spin up live web apps in minutes using a revamped Build interface. It’s free to start, with premium add-ons like Cloud Run hosting available later.

Hands-on building: Type what you want (“a trivia game,” “a garden planner”), and Gemini 2.5 Pro assembles the code, design, and deployment setup instantly. You can tweak layouts, chat with the AI inside the editor, and even hit an “I’m Feeling Lucky” button that generates random app ideas, like a chatbot that lives on a map or a design tool for dream gardens. 

Meta Cuts 600 Roles in AI Team Restructure

Meta’s AI empire is shrinking. The company is laying off around 600 people across its AI divisions, including the long-running Fundamental AI Research unit (FAIR). The cuts follow a summer hiring spree that saw Meta pour billions into AI infrastructure and recruit Scale AI’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, to lead its new superintelligence team, TBD Lab.

A changing of the guard. FAIR helped pioneer much of Meta’s early AI work, but insiders say the company is now prioritizing applied research and large-scale model runs under Wang’s team. In a memo obtained by Axios, Wang said smaller teams will “make decisions faster” and carry “more scope and impact.”
