“Cinema is a matter of what’s in the frame and what’s out.” — Martin Scorsese
Hello readers,
For years, cinema has been built on a simple idea: what stays in the frame and what’s out, but that is changing now.
Last week, Netflix introduced VOID AI, a system that can rewrite scenes after they’re filmed, removing objects, altering moments, and reshaping reality itself.
It’s not just Netflix.
At Canva Create 2026, Canva introduced AI 2.0, while at Adobe Summit 2026, the company emphasized that brands must now optimize for AI-driven discovery as these systems reshape how customers find and evaluate products.
Beyond product launches, the conversation is getting deeper. We have a Discover Dialogues podcast with Finastra CTO Mike Stawchansky, breaking down how banks are modernizing without risking stability. Plus, industry leaders are coming together at the New Jersey CIO Inner Circle to discuss what real AI adoption actually looks like.
A lot is happening, and it’s all connected.
Let’s dive in.
