Today on the AI Daily Brief, maybe we're going to get that AI cancer cure after all.

And before that, in the headlines, Google announces VO3.1, but how does it hang compared to Sora 2?

The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.

All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, Gemini, Notion, Blitzy, Super Intelligent, and Robots and Pencils.

To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com slash ai daily brief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

If you're interested in sponsoring the show, you can email us at sponsors at ai daily brief dot ai.

Two last quick announcements before we get into the episode.

First, as I've mentioned over the last couple of days, I have a podcast growth roll-up.

The role is simply to grow this show as big as humanly possible, and the way that you apply is doing something interesting to grab my attention.

All of that can be found at ai-dailybrief.ai slash jobs.

Lastly, I've had a super positive response to that episode from last Sunday, What 1,000 Executives Say About AI Agents, basically the one where I got deep on what we've learned at Superintelligent.

And so as a little bonus, I've decided to pull in Superintelligence Head of Research, Nufar, who has been a guest on the show before, to do a three-part mini-series on trying to turn what we've learned into more practical, actionable lessons.

So we've got an episode on culture, an episode on tech and data readiness, and an episode on use cases.

And I'm going to use the next three Saturday slots, which, as you guys know, is historically the one off day for the week, to have those as bonus episodes.

So look for the first one of those on Saturday.

With that, though, let's get into today's episode.

Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief Headlines Edition, all the daily AI news you need in around five minutes.

We kick off today with a model update that many people have anticipated that has been well-hinted over the last few days.

Google has released an iterative update of their video model, VO 3.1.
