MAIN AI UPDATES / 21th May 2025

🎥 Flow transforms video creation 🎥
AI scene builder for short film production

Google unveiled Flow, an AI filmmaking tool that combines Veo, Imagen, and Gemini, allowing users to create and stitch together 8-second video clips from text or image prompts using a simple scene builder. Flow enables more precise controls and scene consistency, making it possible to create professional-looking short films with minimal effort. The platform is accessible on Google AI Pro and Ultra tiers in the U.S., marking a significant advance in AI-driven video creation.

👥 Google Beam revolutionizes virtual meetings 👥
Hologram-like immersive experience

Google has unveiled Beam, an AI-powered video communications platform designed to make video chats feel as lifelike as meeting in person. Building on its earlier Starline project, Beam uses a six-camera array combined with AI to create a real-time, 3D, life-sized hologram-like experience with near-perfect millimeter-precise head tracking at 60 frames per second—all without special glasses or equipment. Developed in partnership with HP, Beam aims to overcome common video call issues like lack of eye contact and Zoom fatigue.

💻 Google Stitch transforms UI design 💻
From concept to code in minutes

Google has launched Stitch, a new Gemini 2.5 Pro-powered AI tool that turns text prompts and reference images into production-ready UI and frontend code in minutes. Available in Google Labs, Stitch generates multiple design variants based on your descriptions and even exports directly to Figma for refinements. It supports natural language input, visual references, and customizable styles, offering a fast, collaborative way for developers and designers to move from rough UI ideas to real, working interfaces.

INTERESTING NEWS

👩‍💼 AI threatens women's jobs at triple the rate of men's 👩‍💼

A new UN study shows that AI automation is nearly three times more likely to impact women’s jobs than men’s. The report highlights how women are overrepresented in roles such as administrative support, customer service, and data entry -sectors that are rapidly being transformed by AI. These insights raise urgent questions about gender inequality in the labor market, underscoring the need for targeted retraining, policy reforms, and the design of more inclusive AI systems that help prevent the reinforcement of existing social biases.

🧠 Netherlands builds neuromorphic computing hub 🧠

The Netherlands is positioning itself as a global hub for neuromorphic computing - a field that designs hardware modeled on the neural architecture of the human brain to create far more energy-efficient AI systems. The initiative unites universities, research centers, and industry players to build chips that process data more like biological brains rather than conventional processors. This brain-inspired approach could drastically cut energy usage while unlocking new potential in edge computing and robotics, offering a promising path toward more sustainable AI infrastructure.

H-FARM EVENTS ON AI

FutureShots25 event this weekend!

Join us May 23-24 at FutureShots25 where our CEO, Diego Pizzocaro, will be speaking! This event brings together innovators who are transforming prompts into voice, designing humanoid prototypes, creating systems used by millions, restoring art with AI, and sending creativity to space. Will we lead the way or just watch? Stop by our stand for "FROM IDEA TO APP WITH AI" where we'll transform your concept into a working prototype in minutes - something you can see, touch, and share. Have an idea that could be your next billion-dollar business? We have the talent and execution to help make it real.
