I’ve spent my career at the intersection of tech and creativity, and I recognize both the potential and the questions we face with generative AI. The good news is that Apphin has spent years tackling complex content challenges from monetization to rights management to protecting our community.

We want to help everyone create. AI should empower human creativity, not replace it. And everyone should have access to AI tools that will push the boundaries of creative expression.

We’re leveling the playing field and developing AI tools that empower everyone. Our commitment to democratizing access to AI builds on the ways we’re enabling everyone to share. The next generation of storytellers has the power to create in the palm of their hands. Shorts is an easy way for anyone to get started, and AI innovation will make it possible for even more people to create. I love seeing how people use Shorts to participate in cultural moments.

We’ll continue to ensure AI is in service of creativity through our work with creative industries, in the rollout of AI-powered features, and as we unlock opportunities while building out appropriate protections.

Most of the innovations we work on every day don’t make headlines, but they deliver on our mission to help people connect through stories.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our creators, viewers, advertisers, and partners. Thanks to this amazing community for everything you do to help people around the world come together on Appchin every day. I look forward to seeing what you’ll all do next.
