In December 2024, Google introduced the second generation of its AI Video Generator, Veo 2, developed by Google DeepMind, a specialized AI research facility. Having already excelled in text-based communication, image creation, and voice interaction, Google’s Veo 2 aims to elevate video generation to a new standard. Competing with OpenAI’s Sora, Veo 2 is a text-to-video creation tool that transforms text prompts into videos. Google asserts that Veo 2 distinguishes itself from previous tools by incorporating an understanding of physics, resulting in videos that are more realistic than ever before.
