Berlin-based DJ and producer JASSS builds worlds that reach far outside of just the sonic realm. Her ‘A World of Service’ (AWOS) project with visual artist Ben Kreukniet proves the value of combining two distinct disciplines. The two brought the touring audiovisual performance featuring JASSS’ identically titled, full-length debut album to this year’s edition of ADE Lab. Read our interview with JASSS via:

At Advertising Week New York 2026, Kling AI joined WPP and Adobe to explore how AI video is moving from creative experimentation into real-world production. The next phase of AI video is not just about better generation. It is about connecting models, tools and workflows so creative ideas can scale with greater consistency and control. Kling 4.0 is now fully available on bringing more refined motion, more precise creative control, and professional-grade audiovisual output, opening up new possibilities for brand and advertising production. Swipe for highlights. ✨

Congratulations to @nuance_ai on the $50M Series A led by @lightspeedvp, with @Accel, @spc, @nvidia, and @definevc joining the round. What makes Nuance Labs compelling is that the team is working on a problem most AI products still avoid: human conversation is about much more than words. Tone, timing, gaze, hesitation, facial expression, and the simple act of showing that you are listening all carry meaning. The founding team has unusually deep experience for this challenge. Fangchang Ma, Edward Zhang, and Karren Yang are former Apple researchers with PhDs spanning robotics, machine learning, computer graphics, and audiovisual synthesis. They have spent years working on how machines perceive, reconstruct, and respond to people. Their approach is also refreshingly ambitious. Instead of stitching together transcription, an LLM, voice generation, and facial animation, Nuance Labs is building one full duplex audiovisual model that can see, hear, reason, speak, and express itself in real time. That distinction matters. Most AI avatars still pause awkwardly, interrupt at the wrong moment, or stare blankly while someone is speaking. Nuance is treating responsiveness and active listening as part of the model itself, not as polish added later. There is a huge opportunity here across coaching, education, sales, customer service, training, and any setting where trust and communication affect the outcome. As AI becomes more capable, raw intelligence will not be enough. The products people actually want to spend time with will also need presence, timing, and emotional awareness. Nuance Labs has the technical depth, product conviction, and patience to take on this hard problem properly. Excited to see the public research preview later this year. This is one of the teams pushing human AI interaction in a genuinely important direction.
