OpenAI's CFO Sarah Friar aims to calm investors after three top executives left the company. In an email, she stressed that OpenAI remains committed to developing AI that will benefit investors, CNBC reports. Friar said the current $6.5 billion funding round is oversubscribed and should close next week. OpenAI is seeking a valuation above $150 billion. The company also plans to change to a for-profit structure. The departing executives include CTO Mira Murati, Head of Research Bob McGrew, and VP of Post-Training Research Barret Zoph. Friar, who joined OpenAI in June, assured investors the company still has strong leadership.

Amazon unveiled an AI-powered video generator for advertisers at its Accelerate conference. The new tool, called Video Generator, transforms a single product image into short video clips highlighting the product's features. Amazon says the generator uses the company's unique retail insights to bring product stories to life. Currently, the tool is in a limited beta phase for select US advertisers. The generated videos are 6-9 seconds long with a 720p resolution. Along with Video Generator, Amazon also introduced "Live Image," a feature that creates short animated GIFs from still images. Amazon plans to enhance both tools in the coming months before expanding their availability.
