What changed this week

Not every headline belongs here. These are the changes that affect how creators choose tools, make work and publish it. Every item links to its source.

01 / TOOLS

Generation enters the edit

Meta, Adobe and Runway are turning one-off generation into systems that can be edited, connected and delivered.

02 / WORKS

AIGC work faces real juries

Festivals are judging story, emotion, sound and method. Striking images are the entry point, not the verdict.

03 / CULTURE

Platforms ask for traceability

AIGC labels, authorization and verification are becoming basic conditions for work entering public circulation.
