Google integra su IA más potente a Shorts para crear videos y sonidos por texto Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo YouTube va a integrar la inteligencia artificial Veo 3 de Google en su formato Shorts. Los creadores van a poder generar videos completos, con imagen y sonido, usando solo texto. ¿Qué pasaría si pudieras crear un video con solo escribir una frase? Eso es justo lo que promete Veo 3, la herramienta de inteligencia artificial más avanzada de Google. Esta nueva función se va a integrar en YouTube Shorts, el formato de video corto que recibe más de 200.000 millones de vistas al día. El anuncio lo hizo el propio CEO de YouTube, Neal Mohan, durante el festival Cannes Lions 2025. Pero hay muchas preguntas: ¿cuánto costará? ¿Habrá deepfakes? ¿Qué pensarán los creadores humanos? ¿Y si el video que ves no lo hizo nadie? YouTube quiere que cualquiera pueda crear videos, incluso sin cámara ni micrófono. Para eso va a usar la tecnología Veo 3, un sistema que transforma texto en videos con sonido. Esta IA ya fue usada en la función Dream Screen, que generaba fondos por texto, pero ahora llega mejorada. Veo 3 puede crear clips de 8 segundos que parecen filmaciones reales. Eso lo hace ideal para Shorts, que permite videos de hasta 60 segundos. Mohan, el CEO de YouTube, dijo que esto va a liberar la creatividad de los creadores y les va a dar nuevas herramientas para contar historias. El problema es que no todo el mundo está feliz con la idea. Muchos creadores temen que la plataforma se llene de videos generados por máquinas, sin alma, sin humor, sin errores humanos. Algunos ya llaman a esto “la avalancha de contenido basura”. Además, Veo 3 podría usarse para hacer deepfakes, es decir, videos falsos que imitan a personas reales. Por eso, YouTube está trabajando con agencias como CAA y con creadores reconocidos para desarrollar herramientas que protejan la imagen de celebridades y personajes públicos. A esto se suma otra preocupación: actualmente Veo 3 solo está disponible pagando el plan AI Ultra, que cuesta 250 dólares y limita la creación a 125 videos cortos al mes. ¿Valdrá la pena para los creadores pequeños? La llegada de Veo 3 no es solo una promesa tecnológica, también es una estrategia para ganarle la carrera a TikTok e Instagram Reels. Shorts se ha convertido en una prioridad para YouTube, que busca atraer a nuevas audiencias. El formato ha crecido 186 % en el último año. Mohan lo describió como “el nuevo Hollywood de los emprendedores”, y destacó que muchos creadores ya están montando sus propios estudios. Con Veo 3, podrían hacer películas de un minuto desde sus celulares. Por ahora, la función se lanzará en los próximos meses y se espera que YouTube adapte el modelo de IA para que produzca videos verticales en alta calidad. Aunque el acceso será limitado al principio, es probable que YouTube libere herramientas gratuitas o reduzca el precio para atraer más creadores. El modelo Veo 3 fue anunciado por Google en 2023 y ha sido mejorado constantemente. Está diseñado para generar videos de 720p con audio incluido, a partir de indicaciones simples. Aunque en su forma original produce videos horizontales, YouTube estaría adaptándolo para que los Shorts no tengan bordes negros. Además, Veo 3 ya ha sido usado en redes para crear contenido viral como "cómo sería Shakespeare como youtuber" o "Napoleón haciendo vlogs". Este tipo de creatividad puede ser divertida, pero también inquietante. Por eso, YouTube trabaja en regulaciones internas para evitar abusos, y aún no ha confirmado si habrá una versión gratuita de esta tecnología. Muchos esperan que Google encuentre un equilibrio entre accesibilidad, calidad y control ético. YouTube va a integrar la inteligencia artificial Veo 3 en Shorts. ¿Será el fin del contenido humano o el inicio de una nueva era?Sigue el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify para conocer más historias sobre tecnología, ciencia y creatividad digital.

Live from Cannes Lions, Ankler Media CEO Janice Min hosts a rollicking, wide-ranging conversation with YouTube CEO Neal Mohan about the platform's growing dominance — both on TV screens and across culture — as ad dollars and audience swing decisively toward creators and away from traditional entertainment. Now that YouTube claims a larger share of TV viewership than Netflix, Mohan responds to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' swipe that YouTube is for “killing time” while Netflix is for “spending time.” “Who am I to say what's spending time, engaging time, quality time, killing time?” Mohan told a packed audience at ADWEEK House. “It's all of us as consumers — the 2 billion people that come to YouTube every single day — we get to decide how to spend our time.” (YouTube Originals shut down in 2022 before Mohan took the CEO seat.) Other highlights: Mohan answers whether YouTube's reported $2 billion per year NFL Sunday Ticket deal is paying off; teases plans for global sports rights expansion; and breaks down how the company has quietly captured massive podcast market share from Apple and Spotify. And stick around until the end — for his final swipe back at Netflix. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
I HANDED In My NOTICE!! In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Join Up Dots, we're diving deep into the real stories behind the downloads. Every week, thousands of people across the globe tune in, seeking clarity, motivation, and a path to change. But today, we're flipping the mic around—sharing the voices of our listeners who are taking what they've learned and putting it into action. These are not influencers, celebrities, or gurus. They're people just like you—navigating challenges, building businesses, reclaiming their lives, and drawing inspiration from the journey we're all on together. You'll hear from Jessica in the Scottish Highlands who, after years of living by other people's expectations, finally took the leap toward a more creative and fulfilling life. She's enrolled in art therapy, preparing to take a sabbatical, and discovering what it means to live on her own terms. Her story is a testament to what happens when we stop asking for permission and start asking better questions. She wonders if David, too, had to strip everything back to discover his real path—and how he knew it was the right one. It's a reminder that growth often starts with surrender. From Seville, Carlos shares a quieter yet equally transformational shift. Once stuck in the hamster wheel of overwork, he's now reclaimed his peace by simplifying life. Inspired by our message to “control what you can,” he's walking to work, tuning into Join Up Dots, and discovering that success isn't always loud—it's often silent, deliberate, and deeply personal. We also hear from Mohan in Hyderabad, whose job loss became the spark for something far greater. While uncertainty and fear took centre stage at first, the show's encouragement to reframe failure gave him courage. Now, he's exploring copywriting and voiceover work—leaning into his storytelling skills and, for the first time in years, feeling a sense of purpose return. On the business front, three inspiring voices take us inside their online journeys. Natalie from Wellington finally broke free from her 9–5, building a content writing business she once thought was out of reach. After two years of listening on lunch breaks, she handed in her notice. It wasn't an overnight success, but it was a deliberate one—powered by clarity, belief, and consistent action. Meanwhile, Emily in Vancouver celebrates her first digital sale after launching a template store for creatives. Her voice beams with pride as she shares how letting go of perfection and following the "just launch it" mentality gave her the breakthrough she'd been waiting for. What's even more exciting is that she still walks the streets of Vancouver listening to the show, now as a business owner rather than just a dreamer. Then there's Jake from Lagos, still deep in the trenches of research but already making moves. His business idea—to connect local artisans with global customers—is in development, and he's conducting user interviews to build something real. He writes with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity, asking David how to know when an idea is worth pushing or when it's time to pivot. That question resonates with anyone who's ever stood at the crossroads of action and doubt. Of course, no Join Up Dots episode would be complete without acknowledging the people who aren't just taking the lessons—but who want to understand how David built the life they now admire. Benji in Bristol writes with admiration and a touch of obsession. He's reverse-engineering the lifestyle David now enjoys: time freedom, creative passion, and a deep sense of alignment. But he's also honest. How do you build a life like that without falling back into old patterns? What mindset shift has to happen first? From Cairo, Ahmed reflects on the challenge of having too many ideas and not enough certainty. He sees David's focus and wants to understand how to develop that same trust in a single direction. It's a question many face when starting something new—especially when every option feels both exciting and terrifying. And then there's Sophie in Hamburg, who found connection not through polished stories of success, but in David's admission of struggle. She references a moment in an early episode—David hiding in the bathroom during a corporate event—and says that's when it clicked. The power of vulnerability, of honesty, and of admitting when things aren't quite right yet. That's what made her believe change was possible. Each of these voices represents more than just a listener—they're a living, breathing part of the Join Up Dots community. And today's episode is about recognising that your story, your struggle, and your small wins matter. Whether you're starting a business, shifting your life, or just figuring things out—you're not alone. We're all joining the dots, one decision at a time. So if you've ever thought, “I'm not sure I can do this,” listen to these stories. If you've ever asked, “Where do I begin?”—start right here. These aren't fairytales. These are footsteps you can follow. And once you've listened, don't keep it to yourself.

Skating to where the puck will be? Not enough. In professional services, it's all about anticipating where your client—the skater—is headed next. But how do you stay ahead when clients start zigging, zagging, and getting slammed into strategic pivots? This episode of AI Knowhow tackles that challenge head-on. Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack how AI can empower service leaders to become true strategic navigators. They explore why staying close to clients, decoding digital breadcrumbs, and scaling the "trusted advisor" model are essential in today's AI-driven landscape. For our expert interview segment, Pete Buer sits down with Ardy Tripathy, AI lead at OpsCanvas, to explore how his team is using AI to automate infrastructure intelligently. Ardy shares a refreshingly honest rubric for evaluating AI use cases and explains how he turns high-potential features into real, verifiable products. All that PLUS Pete chats with Mohan about Meta's new AI assistant. Is it a friend or just surveillance dressed in chatbot clothing? They break down the privacy red flags and why Meta's approach is a cautionary tale for any business building customer-facing AI. Want to see your company's client intelligence in action?

You think you're delivering five-star service—but do your clients feel the same? In this episode of AI Knowhow, Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to tackle the thorny disconnect between service quality and client perception. They explore why perception often outweighs actual performance in professional services, and how leaders can use AI to measure, manage, and close that gap—at scale. Plus, in a clip from a recent Knownwell webinar, Pete Buer illustrates what a fully AI-powered client management operating system looks like—interconnected tools, real-time insights, and automated recommendations driving both efficiency and experience. All that PLUS Pete joins Mohan to unpack a revealing Duke University study that found AI users in the workplace are seen as less competent. Together, they discuss what leaders must do to publicly de-stigmatize AI use and foster a culture that values innovation over fear. From emotional signals in client conversations to proactive alerts on account risk, the future of client service is about more than delivery—it's about being felt.

"If you take a step back and ask, how has the last 10-15 years panned out? The truth of the matter is that Southeast Asia has not done as well as it should have based on the reports and projections that existed earlier. There have been fundamental flaws from a culture standpoint with respect to how the ecosystem has been shaped. I think there has been too much of a mirror of what's happening in Silicon Valley and figuring out how to replicate those concepts in Southeast Asia, whereas there should have been a better, more localized, customized, regional model to suit the culture and concepts in this region. We've mirrored our fundraising, our entire ecosystem to be too much like Silicon Valley - blitzscaling style model, power law style investing which in hindsight, maybe were not the right approaches. There's also been an over-reliance on funding." - Mohan Belani, CEO & Co-founder of E27, Partner at Orvel Ventures Fresh out of the studio, Mohan Belani, CEO and co-founder of E27 and partner at Orvel Ventures, joins us to explore his 15 years of journey shaping Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem. In the conversation, Mohan reflected on the evolution of Southeast Asia's ecosystem through different eras and offered his perspectives in how startups need to navigate the current funding winter in Southeast Asia. He also shared the spark that inspired him to set Orvel Ventures and how the investment thesis will fit better for the Southeast Asia region. Last but not least, he offered his vision what great would look like for Orvel and E27 in the next decade.

Mohan Ranga Rao joined me this week on the podcast to share a beautiful conversation about how his life was forever changed by the birth and loss of his daughter, Yogita. He talks about how his life before Yogita's arrival and the moment he knew She was blind at only 4 days old, his life shattered. Mohan began a not just a medical journey but an emotional and existential one. He had to unlearn everything he thought he knew about strength, masculinity, and in the raw, unfiltered love of a Father who could not 'fix' his child. His first book: Inner Trek: A reluctant Pilgrim's Journey to Tibet was born of an unexpected calling. What began as a physical journey - a trek through the Himalayas, became a profound spiritual reckoning. The book is a reflection of that awakening, resonating with readers searching for meaning beyond the material world. His new book: Myopia: A Father's Journey into Love, Loss and Sight Beyond Vision, is not just a story of grief - it is a meditation on love stripped of all conditions, on pain as a force of transformation, on the kind of sight that only comes when the world as you know it disappears. Myopia does not offer easy resolutions or cliches about healing. It is raw, unflinching and honest about what it means to love deeply and lose completely. Mohan founded Amopia - a philosophy and community that helps individuals see suffering not as an enemy, but as a guide. Amopia blends science, spirituality and personal resilience into a framework for growth, offering courses, workshops and a community for those ready to engage with suffering as a path to wisdom.

Nearly a decade ago, Hotstar, Netflix, and Amazon Prime entered the scene and positioned themselves as the anti-TV. No fixed showtimes. No endless ad breaks. No re-runs you had to sit through just because nothing else was on. For the first time, we were in control. TV became personal. It became on-demand. And best of all—it was ad-free. It felt like there was no going back.But now something has shifted. Subscriber growth is stalling, and that's making streaming platforms nervous. Really nervous. Their answer? Bring back ads. Amazon Prime Video is the latest to jump into India's ad-supported streaming game, also called ad supported video on demand or AVOD. And Netflix? It's reportedly toying with the idea of a free, ad-supported tier here—just like it's doing in a few other markets. In other words, OTT is starting to look a lot more like the very thing it was supposed to replaceHave we come full circle? Or is this just the natural evolution of an industry growing up?

Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack whether the AI revolution is as widespread as the hype suggests.

How Swami created a Live Monkey Do you know the value game that Swami created using a coffee can to play with the children and devotees on the banks of Chitravathi? Have you heard how Swami made fruit salad sitting on the sands of Chitravathi and through it communicated to all how study circles should be conducted in Sai centres? Are you aware of the tough rigmarole that Prof Kasturi had to endure to get every issue of Sanathana Sarathi printed in the 50s and 60s? Do you know that there was a time when all devotees slept in the mandir itself as there was no other place for them to stay in Prasanthi? How was it for them to practically live with Swami the entire day? Mrs Geetha Mohan Ram is immensely blessed who not only had the chance to come to Bhagawan right from her birth but also has been gifted with a sharp memory to register, recollect and beautifully narrate all the incredible moments she has had with Swami for over six decades. In this Satsang, she picks a few such shining pearls from the treasure chest of her heart.
AI adoption hinges on one thing: trust. But how do you build it—and more importantly, how do you keep it from breaking? In this episode of AI Knowhow, CMO Courtney Baker teams up with CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack the critical security questions every organization should be asking before deploying AI. They break down the evolving attack surface of AI systems—from prompt injection and data poisoning to model inversion - and explain how to evaluate vendors for their trustworthiness and preparedness. Mohan shares a practical checklist for non-technical leaders to vet AI platforms, and David highlights the new responsibilities facing leadership in this AI-first era. Pete Buer kicks things off with AI in the Wild, where he explores Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's provocative claim that today's CEOs may be the last to lead fully human workforces. With 84% of customer service requests already resolved by AI agents at Salesforce, Pete lays out what this shift means for how companies scale, innovate, and think strategically.

Varun Mohan is the co-founder and CEO of Windsurf (formerly Codeium), an AI-powered development environment (IDE) that has been used by over 1 million developers in just four months and has quickly emerged as a leader in transforming how developers build software. Prior to finding success with Windsurf, the company pivoted twice—first from GPU virtualization infrastructure to an IDE plugin, and then to their own standalone IDE.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. Why Windsurf walked away from a profitable GPU infrastructure business and bet the company on helping engineers code2. The surprising UI discovery that tripled adoption rates overnight.3. The secret behind Windsurf's B2B enterprise plan, and why they invested early in an 80-person sales team despite conventional startup wisdom.4. How non-technical staff at Windsurf built their own custom tools instead of purchasing SaaS products, saving them over $500k in software costs5. Why Varun believes 90% of code will be AI-generated, but engineering jobs will actually increase6. How training on millions of incomplete code samples gives Windsurf an edge, and creates a moat long-term7.

[00:09:24] Divya shares plans for 2025 to include creating a database of open source communities in Asia.

[00:16:40] Leon speaks about the social media and language inclusion presence with CHAOSS Asia managing Twitter and LinkedIn and considering localized subgroups for language-specific events.

Long before press freedom indexes were even conceived, the Urdu newspaper Pratap was speaking truth to power in undivided India — and paying a heavy price for it. Launched in 1919, Pratap quickly ran afoul of the British Raj but remained defiantly independent.After independence, its legacy continued with the launch of Vir Pratap, its Hindi successor. But how fearless did these publications remain after independence?This week, host Sandip Roy speaks to Chander Mohan, who served as editor of Vir Pratap for forty years, and his daughter Jyotsna Mohan, a journalist with nearly three decades of experience, to explore the journey and enduring impact of these pioneering publications.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

The first challenger is Youtube.According to Neal Mohan, YouTube CEO, TV screens have officially overtaken mobile as the quote, primary device for YouTube viewing in the US.It is, as Mohan writes in his annual letter from the CEO, an indication that YouTube is the new television.It's interactive and includes things like shorts, podcasts, and live streams alongside sports, sitcoms, and talk shows that people already love.It is getting there organically by adding things like memberships, monetisation tools, partner programs, and super chats, and it's letting creators play with them to create content that takes eyeballs away from linear television.On the other hand, there are streaming companies like Netflix and Jiohotstar, who also want to become the successor for new television, and they do it by owning and producing exclusive content and IP such as live sports, Disney, Marvel, HBO, and a whole lot more.All of this came to a head a couple of days back after Jiohotstar live-streamed its Mahashivratri event. It had a lot of the same elements as Youtube live events.Viewers could switch between temple feeds, listen to mythological narratives or engage in real-time chanting and live Q&A sessions, transforming passive viewing into active participation.Jio Hotstar is redefining live streaming by making shared cultural moments more immersive.To discuss this, hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar invited two wonderful guests.Our first guest is Swati Mohan, the ex-head of marketing at Netflix India. She's also an independent advisor to many consumer tech companies. She's led large business verticals and has had leadership roles in media companies such as GroupM, Nat Geo, and many others across India and APAC.And our second guest is Vanita Kohli-Khandekar. She is an India-based media specialist and a contributing editor for Business Standard, where she has written about media and the business of media for over two decades.She also writes for Singapore-based Content Asia. The Media Room, her podcast on all things media and entertainment, is hosted on The Core. She has also authored the authoritative book on India's media landscape titled The Indian Media Business.In this episode, we discuss which of these two contenders will become new television.What will YouTube do, and how will it get there? What will streaming companies do, and how will they get there?Welcome to episode 32 of Two by Two.– – –Additional reading:Jiohotstar is not contentThe 'linearisation' of streaming: How OTTs are becoming more like TVAdditional listening:Netflix and its last growth market– – –What you listened to is just the first 30 minutes of the conversation.

Still think of AI as just a chatbot? It's time to reframe that mindset. Logan Kilpatrick of Google DeepMind joins the show to discuss the latest advances with Gemini, including long-context reasoning and native multimodal capabilities—and why UX, not chat, is the real frontier in AI. He shares examples from Khan Academy and others that show how smarter, more human-centered experiences are key to unlocking AI's full potential. Logan and Mohan Rao also explore why it's such an exciting time to be working in AI, with developers making groundbreaking discoveries daily, and how the next wave of AI in services businesses has so much promise, as we shift from real-time answers to asynchronous, reasoning-driven systems with humans in the loop. Next, CMO Courtney Baker teams up with CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to look at why, in the AI age, leaders need to think differently about how to deliver value with concepts like learning systems, compounding intelligence, and more. They also join Logan in challenging the chatbot-centric mental model that many may hold about AI because it has been our introductory experience to the technology. They explore why simply deploying chat interfaces isn't the future—and why UX is key to making AI work for real business outcomes. Plus, Pete Buer breaks down Anthropic's $61B valuation from their latest funding round and looks at how businesses should evaluate LLMs for fit and function, not just from what they read in the latest headlines.
