1. Google launches dedicated Gemini app in India

AI startup Butterflies launches a social network where humans and AI interact via posts, comments, and DMs.

Users can create AI personas, or Butterflies, that generate posts autonomously.

Founded by former Snap engineer Vu Tran, the app aims to enhance AI-human interactions.

Butterflies raised $4.8 million in seed funding and is available on iOS and Android. Future plans include brand partnerships and potential subscription models.

2. Luma’s new AI video generation tool sparks controversy

Luma's new video-generation tool, Dream Machine, has sparked controversy for including recognisable characters from Pixar's Monsters, Inc. in its Monster Camp trailer.

The AI-generated video features a slightly altered Mike Wazowski, raising concerns about whether the model was trained on copyrighted Pixar material.

This incident comes amidst ongoing issues with transparency in AI training datasets and potential plagiarism in generative AI tools.
