Description

Welcome to The Daily AI Briefing! Today we're tracking major developments across the AI landscape, from China's new international cooperation framework to Meta's superintelligence ambitions. We'll also explore exciting new creative tools from Runway, practical tutorials for AI video avatars, and the latest in AI job opportunities. Stay with us as we break down what matters most in artificial intelligence today. Today's Top Stories China has unveiled a new AI action plan at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, taking a collaborative approach that contrasts with U.S. strategies. Meanwhile, Meta's superintelligence ambitions advance with a high-profile hire from OpenAI. We're also seeing remarkable new video tools from Runway and Google that are transforming creative possibilities. Let's dive in. China's AI Cooperation Framework China has proposed a global approach to AI development that emphasizes international cooperation and open-source development. At the World AI Conference, Chinese Premier Li Qiang called for joint R&D initiatives, open data sharing, and cross-border infrastructure development. The plan specifically highlights AI literacy training for developing nations. What's notable is the contrast with U.S. approaches. China is positioning itself as a collaborative partner rather than a dominant player, potentially offering developing countries an alternative path for AI advancement. Li Qiang warned against AI becoming an "exclusive game" for certain countries and companies, suggesting a more inclusive vision. Meta Recruits OpenAI Talent for Superintelligence Labs In a significant talent acquisition, Mark Zuckerberg has appointed former OpenAI researcher Shengjia Zhao as chief scientist of the newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs. Zhao brings impressive credentials, having helped pioneer OpenAI's reasoning model o1 and co-authored the original ChatGPT research paper. His experience includes work on GPT-4, o1, o3, 4.1, and OpenAI's mini models, with particular expertise in synthetic data generation and scaling paradigms. Reporting directly to Zuckerberg, Zhao will shape MSL's research direction alongside chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, signaling Meta's serious commitment to advancing superintelligence capabilities. Democratizing AI Video Creation A new tutorial is making waves by showing users how to create AI-generated videos featuring themselves or any character. The process combines Freepik for character creation with Google Veo 3 for animation and natural speech. The workflow involves uploading 12-24 varied personal images to Freepik, generating detailed scene prompts with ChatGPT, and then using Google Gemini's Video tool with appropriate prompts. This accessibility represents another step in democratizing advanced AI creative tools for everyday users. Runway's Aleph: Next-Generation Video Editing Runway has unveiled Aleph, an innovative "in-context" video model that transforms existing footage through text prompts. The technology enables users to generate new camera angles from a single shot, apply style transfers while maintaining scene consistency, and add or remove elements seamlessly. Additional features include relighting scenes, creating green screen mattes, changing settings and characters, and generating the next shot in a sequence. Early access is currently limited to Enterprise and Creative Partners, with plans to eventually expand availability to all Runway users. Trending AI Tools and Job Market Several AI tools are gaining traction, including Memories AI for video library management, Qwen3-MT for multilingual translation, ByteDance's LiveInterpret 2.0, and Higgsfield Steal for image recreation. The job market remains robust with opportunities at The Rundown for AI educators, Scale AI for delivery leadership, xAI for engineers and researchers, and Figure AI for specialized test engineers. These openings reflect the continued growth and diversification of the AI secto
