Mirages AI Video-Editing, Apples WWDC AI Tease & Agile Robots New Partnership! (3.24.26)

Booting up.

AI Kids News Flash activated.

Welcome to AI Kids News Flash.

It's Tuesday, March 24, 2026, and I'm Tyler.

And I'm Katie.

We're here to bring you the coolest and latest news about AI

that kids like you need to know.

Today's show is packed with exciting stories

and we'll bring them to you in five minutes or less.

Dive into a world where AI guards your secrets,

crafts, stunning art, and robots team up with Google for something big.

Mirage just raised $75 million to enhance its AI

video editing app, Captions.

Imagine if you had a magic paintbrush

that could edit your videos just by understanding what you want,

making your videos cooler without needing to learn complicated software.

For example, if you're making a video for a school project

and you want to add subtitles or cool effects,

captions can do that almost instantly.

This matters because as you grow up,

being able to share your ideas creatively

and effectively will be super important.

And tools like Captions are making that future a reality today.

Editing videos with just a magic paintbrush?

That's awesome!

And now for this.

Apple has just announced that its Worldwide Developers Conference

in June 2006 will focus on new AI advancements.

Imagine if your school's science fair

was all about inventing new ways to make robots smarter and more helpful.

That's what Apple is doing, but on a much bigger scale.

For example, they might show off a new version of Siri

that can help you plan your day like a personal assistant

who knows exactly what you like

and when you need to do your homework.

This matters because as you grow up,

these AI advancements could make everyday tasks easier

and more personalized,

changing how we all interact with technology.

Personalized Siri planning my day?

That's so cool!

But that's not all.

Agile robots just teamed up with Google DeepMine,

making big news in the robotics world.

Imagine if you had a robot friend

that could learn to make your favorite snack

just by watching you do it once.

That's kind of what this partnership is about.

It's about making robots smarter and more helpful

by teaching them through observation.

For example, think about a robot at home

that sees you struggling to reach something on a high shelf

and learns to help you out next time.

This matters because as these robots become a part of our daily lives,

they'll be able to do more than just follow commands.

They'll anticipate our needs and assistant ways

we haven't even thought of yet.

A robot that helps before we ask?

That's awesome!

Here's your daily AI fun fact.

I can compose music like Beethoven,

paint like Picasso,

and write like Shakespeare all at the same time.

Whoa, that's so cool!

A former Apple designer has recently started working at Hark

to create a new AI interface.

Imagine if your video game could learn and adapt to how you play,

making every level feel like it was designed just for you.

That's what this AI does, but for apps.

For example, if you're using an app to learn guitar,

the AI might adjust the lessons to match songs you like.

This matters because in the future,

apps could become more like personal coaches,

helping you learn and grow in ways that feel tailor-made for you.

Apps as personal coaches?

That's super cool!

Moving on to this.

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also known as MIT,

researchers are diving deep into how algorithms can improve our lives

and learning processes.

Imagine if your video game could learn from you,

becoming more challenging and fun as you get better.

MIT's work is like giving a video game a brain that learns

from every move you make,

making sure you're always engaged and growing.

For example, if you're playing a puzzle game,

the game could notice which puzzles stump you

and adjust to help you learn better strategies over time.

This matters because in the future,

this kind of smart technology could make not just games

but also apps and tools we use every day.

More helpful and personalized to our needs,

making learning and problem-solving more like playing a game

that's always just right for you.

Learning video games? That's super smart and fun!

Hey listeners, ready for a quick AI quiz?

Here's today's mind-blowing question.

How much funding did Mirage recently raise

to continue building models for its AI video editing app captions?

Is it a 50-millas?

Is it B, a 100-buyendoora?

Is it C, 75-millas?

Or is it D, 25-millas?

Quick! Make your choice!

Processing your answer, stand by.

Ready for the answer?

It's C, Mirage raised $7.00 for their AI video editing app captions.

Super job if you got it right!

Can you believe it?

They raised $75 million to expand their AI capabilities.

And partnering with Google DeepMind?

That's huge for AI advancements.

With all this funding and collaboration,

AI is going to transform our world in amazing ways.

AI and technology are advancing every single day.

And there's always something new to discover.

Keep being curious about technology,

and we'll see you tomorrow with more amazing AI news.
