Creative Industries Weekly AI News

December 15 - December 23, 2025

This weekly update covers important developments in how artificial intelligence is changing creative industries worldwide. Companies are building AI agents - smart computer helpers that can do complex tasks on their own. Adobe partnered with Runway to bring better AI video tools to creators. Disney made a big deal with OpenAI to license its characters, showing how major companies are racing to control AI's future. Meanwhile, governments are taking action. The United Kingdom found that 95% of creative workers want copyright protections for their work. Australia released its national AI plan focusing on investment and worker training. Smaller companies are using AI agents like Zoom's new AI Companion 3.0, which can now do multiple tasks at once instead of just taking meeting notes. However, some creators worry that AI might replace human artists, and workers' unions are concerned about losing jobs. The big news shows that AI is becoming a tool that's more powerful and useful, but it's also raising important questions about fairness and protecting artists' work.
