Google has announced Gemini 2.0, its most capable AI model yet, which is designed to be more “agentic,” meaning it can understand the world, think ahead, and take action. Gemini 2.0 will be integrated into Google products like Search, enabling more complex and multi-step questions, including advanced math, multimodal queries, and coding. The new model builds on the success of Gemini 1.5 and featur...

This collection of articles talks about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on technology and society. One article explains how OpenAI has developed a new interface called "Canvas" for ChatGPT , allowing for better collaboration on writing and coding projects through features like editing, suggestions, and version control. Other articles discuss concerns about bias in AI models , noting a...

Today we highlight the recent advancements in artificial intelligence, specifically in the areas of quantum computing and generative AI. Google has unveiled Willow , its new quantum computing chip, which showcases significant progress in error correction and computational speed. Willow can reduce errors exponentially as the number of qubits increases , a breakthrough known as "below threshold," ad...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting smarter, but there are still problems. One type of AI, called neural networks, is really good at learning patterns from lots of examples, but it can sometimes make things up or be hard to understand. Another type, called symbolic AI, uses rules and logic, but it can be slow. To solve these problems, people are combining the two types into neurosymbolic AI. T...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming really important for businesses, but it still needs humans to work well . To use AI successfully, companies need to organize their data in a way that AI can understand, kind of like creating a really detailed instruction manual for the AI. This means humans have new jobs, like writing and organizing information specifically for AI. Even Apple, a company kno...

Many companies and individuals are using and developing AI technology in new ways, but there are concerns about its potential misuse. The owner of the Los Angeles Times wants to implement an AI-powered "bias meter" to show readers different perspectives on news stories, but the newsroom staff pushed back, arguing that they already follow strict ethics guidelines. Some people are using AI chatbots...
