Image models are now the strongest growth driver in AI apps. New data from Appfigures shows visual AI features generating 6.5x more downloads than chatbot upgrades—but most of that growth isn’t translating into revenue. The takeaway: images are the best acquisition hook in AI right now, but not a guaranteed business. In policy, the White House is reportedly considering an AI working group and potential model testing requirements before release. While still early, the move signals a shift toward more formal oversight—and raises key questions around who sets standards and how enforcement would work.In...
