It was an event that glued thousands and thousands of users to the streaming eager to know all the news presented by Google in California for the annual developer conference. As we will see, the most important ones certainly concerned the improvements on theartificial intelligencea major addition to Gemini, but also a new digital assistant and a built-in photo tool.
What changes with artificial intelligence
The most important announcement is certainly that of having a search engine reorganized that will favor answers provided by artificial intelligence over links to websites, a change that promises to speed up the search for information. Already from this week, limited to United Stateshundreds of millions of people will begin to periodically see conversation summaries generated by the company's AI (artificial intelligence) technology at the top of the search engine results page, essentially above website links.
It is undoubtedly the most important innovation since the most famous search engine in the world existed (it was the 90s). The initiative will create “more research and more satisfaction for users“, said the head of the American technology giant, Sundar Pichai. By the end of 2024, Google estimates that this innovation will be part of the lives of over a billion people around the world.
What is Project Astra
The name of the new one is Project Astra what else is it “universal artificial intelligence that can really help in everyday life“, explained the developers: this project will allow you to identify, for example, which objects are framed with the camera of your smartphone. Overall, the move on artificial intelligence could open the doors to greater growth and innovation but could bring about a sea change in web browsing habits. “This bold and responsible approach is critical to advancing our mission and making AI more useful for everyone“, Pichai emphasized.
The other news
His name is Ask PhotosMeaning what “Ask Photo“, which will allow you to find images stored in the archive among hundreds with the use of only the voice. In the specific case, Yep is capable of producing high definition movies challenging Sora created by OpenAi. The big Americans, in this field, are in an increasingly close and fierce competition. AI Overview, on the other hand, is the new voice assistant that will allow you to obtain answers to questions generated by artificial intelligence.
Thanks to Gemini Dwarfthe Android user will be notified in the middle of a call”as soon as it detects suspicious activity, such as when you are asked for your Social Security number and banking information“, explain the developers.
Also, thanks to Gemini app we will have updates with the vocal recognition of our voice so we can “speak” and ask any question to the artificial intelligence in a more natural and fluid way: if the answers are interrupted, the thread of the conversation will not be lost.
We've been AI-first for a long time, across research, infrastructure, products, and platforms that enable everyone to invent the future. Here's to the possibilities ahead and creating them together.
