Creative Industries Weekly AI News
August 4 - August 12, 2025This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents changing creative work around the world.
A major partnership launched in the UK between top schools and creative companies. The Centre for Creative AI will start this fall. It brings together University College London, the Royal College of Art, and The Brandtech Group. Big companies like Diageo, Unilever, and Snap are backing this project.
The famous SIGGRAPH 2025 conference happened in Vancouver, Canada this week. This big event focused on how AI agents are changing art and design. The conference showed new intelligent design systems and multi-agent video editing tools. These smart systems can work together to create better art and videos.
A major breakthrough came with GPT-5 being released this week. This new AI system works differently than before. It uses a mixture of models with a smart router that picks which tools to use. This makes it work more like a team of AI agents working together.
Experts say creative workers should not fear these changes. History shows that new technology usually creates more jobs for people who learn to use it. The key is learning how to work with AI agents instead of fighting against them.
