Google’s AI research lab DeepMind has developed a new technology called V2A that can automatically generate appropriate soundtracks, sound effects, and even dialogue for videos. While V2A seems promising, DeepMind admits that the quality of the audio generated is not yet perfect. For now, it is not generally available.
Google admits to errors in its new AI Overviews, which the company says are based on misinterpretations of search queries and web sources. Google is working on improvements, but insists that the accuracy of AI Overviews is comparable to that of traditional search results. In my opinion, this casts a rather bad light on the …
The recently introduced “AI Overviews” in Google Search have produced some strange results – some embarrassing, some ridiculous, some dangerous. This can be seen as an example for what various experts already know and preach: Don’t let your AI work unsupervised. For example, one of Google AI’s recommendations was that cheese sticks better to pizza …
Google is adding AI-powered features to its Chromebook Plus devices. In addition to a writing assistant and wallpaper generator, users will get easy access to Google’s Gemini chatbot. In the future, Chromebooks will also get AI-powered reading summaries, improved continuity between devices, and a focus mode.
With the introduction of AI-powered search results, the human-generated web is taking a back seat, writes Casey Newton. Google plans to answer more questions directly on the search results page and, according to Newton, is abstracting the web into input for its big language models. The new concept of “let Google do the Googling for …
Google is offering “AI Essentials,” a new course that teaches users how to use generative AI to increase their productivity. The course focuses on practical applications such as brainstorming, decision-making, and speeding up everyday tasks. Source: Open Culture
Nvidia’s ChatRTX chatbot now supports Google’s Gemma model, allowing users to interact with their own documents, photos, and YouTube videos. The update also includes voice search and offers more ways to search locally stored data using different AI models.
As expected, Google used the keynote at its I/O developer conference to demonstrate its strength in AI. Among other things, the company presented new AI models for a wide range of tasks. Some will run directly on Android devices or can be found in the Chrome browser. Others use Google’s specialized servers. They create text, …
Google DeepMind develops “Gecko”, a new standard to evaluate the capabilities of AI image generators. It is designed to help better understand the strengths and weaknesses of AI models and drive their development.
Researchers at DeepMind have found that large language models can learn new skills through hundreds or even thousands of examples in the prompt, without the need to fine-tune the model. This method enables companies to quickly prototype and develop AI applications.
