Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Anthropic is rolling out new data privacy controls for Claude. Users on the Free, Pro, and Max plans must now actively opt out if they don't want their conversations used to train AI models.

The new setting only applies to new or ongoing chats and can be changed at any time. If you allow data use, Anthropic will keep your chat data for up to five years to help improve its models and security systems. If you opt out, your conversations are stored for just 30 days. These changes don't affect Claude for Work, Education, Government, or API access through partners like Amazon Bedrock.

Users have until September 28, 2025, to make their choice. After that, you'll have to select a data sharing preference to keep using Claude.

Google's Flow tool now gives users a choice each month: five free Veo 3 Fast AI videos or one standard Veo 3 video. Google never spelled out the quality gap between the two models, but the new credit system offers a clue: one standard video costs as much as five Fast videos. Every user gets 100 free credits per month, enough for either option. Flow supports scene editing with AI ensuring consistency. For developers, API pricing starts at $0.040 per second for Fast and $0.0075 per second for standard videos.

Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant is now available on select Samsung TVs and monitors from the 2025 lineup, including Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame, and the M7, M8, and M9 monitors. Copilot is integrated through the Tizen operating system and appears in the "Samsung Daily+" interface, where it can be launched using the microphone button on the remote. Users can ask questions, get recommendations, or look up information about movies and TV shows. Answers are delivered as spoken responses and visual cards with images, ratings, and additional details. An animated character on the screen matches the conversation with facial expressions and lip syncing. Connecting a Microsoft account unlocks personalized suggestions. Copilot is free to use but is initially limited to select regions.

Google is making its basic editing tools in Google Vids free for everyone. Users can create videos with templates, text, and animations without needing a Gemini subscription. New features include eight-second video clips from photos with audio (Veo 3), AI avatars for scripted presentations, and automatic audio cleanup and transcription. Google says more options like portrait formats, filters, and new backgrounds are coming soon.

According to Google, the video tools are designed for social media, YouTube intros, and training videos. There's also a "Vids on Vids" learning series that walks users through the process.

Anthropic is testing a new AI tool called Claude for Chrome. The browser agent runs as an extension in Google Chrome, can recognize webpage content, and take actions in the browser on request. At launch, the tool is available to 1,000 selected Max plan users, with others able to join a waitlist. Anthropic says it has added safeguards to make prompt injection attacks harder: according to the company, however, success rates for these attacks dropped from 23.6 percent to still 11.2 percent. Sites featuring financial, adult, or pirated content are blocked by default. Claude also asks for permission before taking risky actions, such as sharing personal data.

Brave discovered a security flaw in Perplexity’s AI browser Comet that allows for so-called indirect prompt injection attacks. In these attacks, malicious commands are hidden in web pages or comments and are then interpreted by the AI assistant as legitimate user instructions when summarizing a page. During testing, Brave showed that Comet could be tricked into reading out sensitive user data, like email addresses and one-time passwords, and sending them to attackers. Perplexity responded by issuing updates, but according to Brave, the issue still isn’t fully resolved. Brave also offers its own AI assistant, Leo, in its browser and faces similar security challenges.

xAI has released Grok 2 as an open model, including the weights. Elon Musk announced on X that Grok 2.5, xAI's top model for 2024, is now open source. The weights for Grok 2 are available on Hugging Face. Musk also said Grok 3 will be released as open source in about six months.

Grok 2 is available under the xAI Community License. Usage is free for research and non-commercial projects, while commercial use must follow xAI's guidelines. The license prohibits using Grok 2 to develop or train other large AI models. If you redistribute the model, you have to credit the source and include "Powered by xAI."
