Would you pay to watch an AI film?

Today, Google made a major move to globalize its AI strategy: expanding AI Mode to five new languages. It’s not just about translation, it’s about making smart search actually local. We are also seeing the early signals of a post-phone future.

In today’s post:

• Google just gave A.I. search a global upgrade

• A.I. is quietly preparing to replace your phone

• OpenAI is making a movie and Hollywood should watch closely

AI Mode goes global and local in five new languages

Google’s most advanced A.I. search experience, AI Mode, is expanding. As of today, it’s now available in Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. This isn’t just about translation, it’s about understanding people in their own context.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• AI Mode uses a custom version of Gemini 2.5 to deliver multimodal, reasoning-rich results.

• The rollout prioritizes local nuance, not just language support from idioms to cultural relevance.

• With this update, millions more users can ask complex questions in their preferred language.

• Google emphasizes that global search requires more than tech, it needs local insight.

• The expansion shows growing confidence in generative A.I. as a core layer of the search experience.

• Early users can explore it now at google. com/ai

• This signals Google's broader aim: a truly global, conversational search future.

Language is the last moat in global tech and Google is bridging it fast. If A.I. search becomes genuinely useful across cultures and contexts, we’re not just looking at better results, we’re looking at a reshaped web. The question isn’t whether others can match the tech. It’s whether they can match the local understanding.

RESEARCH

Is this the beginning of the end for smartphones?

The new iPhones are they are thinner, faster, maybe a bit shinier. But behind the scenes, something bigger is happening. A.I. is reshaping how we use technology and what we’ll even call a “device” in five years.

Here’s what tech insiders are predicting:

• Smart glasses with A.I. are already replacing screens with spoken help and contextual awareness.

• Meta, Google, and others are racing to perfect glasses that understand what you see and hear.

• Ambient computers, speakers and wearables that listen and assist could shift us away from phones.

• Amazon is betting on voice-first tech like Alexa+ to blend into daily life, not interrupt it.

• Watches may become the new hub: always on you, A.I.-powered, and quietly doing tasks for you.

• Startups like Limitless want to “augment memory” with recorders that analyze conversations and give feedback.

• Across all these tools, one pattern stands out: interfaces are disappearing. A.I. is becoming the interface.

Phones won’t vanish overnight. But the way we use them already is. When tech fades into the background and works like a quiet partner, not a glowing screen, it stops feeling like a tool and starts feeling like part of us. That shift won’t be led by hardware. It’ll be driven by how helpful A.I. becomes when we stop telling it what to do.

ENTERTAINMENT

A feature length A.I. film is heading to Cannes

OpenAI is getting into the movie business. Not with a studio. Not with a director.
With its A.I. tools. The company is backing Critterz, an animated film made largely with generative A.I. and aiming for a global theatrical release next year.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Critterz will be the first OpenAI-backed feature film created primarily using generative A.I. tools.

• It’s being developed with the goal of premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026.

• OpenAI is contributing both its own tools and computing power to the project.

• The film is part of a broader push to show how A.I. can accelerate and reduce the cost of storytelling.

• This move positions OpenAI not just as a tech company, but as a player in the future of media production.

• Similar A.I. tools like Google’s Veo and Runway’s video models are already producing short films with cinematic quality.

• The big bet: A.I. can do in months (and on a fraction of the budget) what traditional animation takes years to deliver.

Hollywood’s not going away but it is about to compete with something it’s never faced before: fully scalable creativity. If OpenAI’s film succeeds, it won’t just change animation. It’ll redefine who gets to make movies and how. The real question isn’t whether A.I. can generate films. It’s whether audiences will care how it was made.
