Google unveils upgraded version of its Gemini AI model | Semafor
Google recently announced the launch of an upgraded version of its flagship artificial intelligence model, Gemini 2.0. This new iteration is more than just a chatbot – it is positioned as an "agent" capable of thinking multiple steps ahead and taking actions on behalf of users, such as helping with flight bookings or online shopping.
This move by Google reflects the ongoing competition among tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft to integrate AI into every aspect of their products and services. According to The Verge, AI is becoming increasingly pervasive within these companies' ecosystems.
Despite advancements in AI technology, ensuring that AI models reliably follow instructions remains a challenge. Mistakes made by these models could have costly and irreversible consequences, as highlighted by Wired.
Additionally, researchers are concerned that AI models are running out of sufficient training data to continue improving, as reported by Nature.
