AI Magic 🔮
Plus Google Updates
Google I/O 2024 blew minds with the AI upgrades!
Highlights:
All the Senses: The new Gemini Nano handles text, sights, sounds, and speech for a richer, on-device AI experience. It even helps visually impaired users with TalkBack and alerts you about scams during calls.
Work Partner: Gemini 1.5 Pro jumps into Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Gmail, getting info and doing tasks across the suite.
Video Magic: Veo makes 1080p video from text, pics, and vids, already a hit with YouTubers and Hollywood.
Not to mention the new AI search tricks! Now, millions of people in the US will see AI-made summaries at the top of their search results, saving them time.
However, Google is careful about not taking traffic away from original sources. AI summaries are only used for tricky searches, and people still click on original links for more insights.
Food for thought: How will these changes reshape user experiences & the way people consume online information?
