LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The Rundown: YouTube just announced a new Music AI Incubator, revealing plans to collaborate with artists to develop generative AI technologies and gather insights.
Details:
The incubator kickstarts a huge partnership between YouTube and Universal Music Group, which includes stars like Anitta, OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, and the Frank Sinatra estate.
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan outlined three core principles to guide the company’s AI use, which signal a forward-thinking approach that aims to both protect artists and unlock new opportunities.
The move aims to boost innovation while avoiding copyright risks and follows a spike in AI interest on the platform.
Noteworthy: With nearly three billion (!) monthly users, YouTube embracing AI could chart a completely new course for tech in the music industry — especially after initial backlash and copyright enforcement.
TOGETHER WITH INNOVATING WITH AI
The Rundown: Don’t let the lack of coding skills hold you back from launching your own AI product. Our friends over at Innovating with AI created a free cheat sheet, to help you speedrun the entire process.
Here’s what’s in store for you:
No-code magic: Discover top-notch tools to launch AI-powered apps.
Bridge the gap with low-code AI: Master the art of seamless interaction with software developers.
Supercharge your workflow: Integrate potent AI models without typing out a single line of code.
AI IN THE WORKFORCE

The Rundown: A new IBM report estimates 40% of the global workforce will need to ‘reskill’ in the next three years as AI transforms business operations.
Key points:
The company surveyed 3,000 execs and 21,000 workers on AI's evolving impact in the workplace.
A whopping 87% of execs reported viewing AI as enhancing rather than replacing roles, leveraging AI boosted revenues by 15% for tech adopters.
People skills rose in importance, with AI enabling employees to accomplish more technical skills with less training
The report humbly stated "AI won't replace people—but people who use AI will replace people who don't"
Why it matters: While a potentially seismic shift is coming to the workplace, this report is a reminder that with the right retraining, workers can become enhanced users — not replaced.
Our advice: Read The Rundown, test tools and integrate the best into your workflows, and stay curious. You’ll be miles ahead of the world.

QUICK HITS

The University of Michigan is providing custom AI platforms like ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff — a first for a major institution. UM aims to lead in accessible AI in higher education, but the costs after an initial free trial are still TBD.
