If you've ever used an AI chatbot, you'd know it's a very singular experience. Your chatbot interacts with what an individual says or asks.
At Google I/O, as part of its Gemini for Workspace platform, the search giant shared a new feature: AI Teammate. AI Teammate basically takes that solo chatbot experience and puts the AI bot in a multi-user space, turning the AI chatbot into sort of a mock fellow co-worker.

Some of the features that caught our eye have to do with Gemini Nano, the company's smallest Gemini-based model. It's still pretty capable, but it's small enough to run entirely on device, meaning it can perform tasks faster than other versions of Gemini.

Now the unfunniest guy you know can be even less funny in the group chat.
At Google I/O on Tuesday, Google showed off what felt like dozens of new things you can do with its in-house Gemini AI, but one of them stood out more than the others. In Google Messages on Android devices, users will be able to bring up the Gemini overlay and create AI-generated meme response images to drag and drop into conversations.

Google, with the help of creative renaissance man Donald Glover, has demoed an AI video generator to compete with OpenAI's Sora. The model is called Veo, and while no clear launch date or rollout plan has been announced, the demo does appear to show a Sora-like product, apparently capable of generating high-quality, convincing video.

Google held its I/O event aimed at developers on Tuesday. The event was expected to provide lots of news and announcements, and it did not disappoint.
Nothing is ever certain, but coming into Tuesday's event, it was expected that Google would announce significant updates to its chatbot Gemini. In actuality, we got a mess of AI announcements, most centered on Gemini and its new capabilities.
Here is everything announced during I/O, as well as some of Mashable's corresponding coverage so that...
As Google positions its upgraded generative AI as teacher, assistant, and recommendation guru, the company is also trying to turn its models into a bad actor's worst enemy.
"It's clear that AI is already helping people," said James Manyika, Google's senior vice president of research, technology, and society, to the crowd at the company's Google I/O 2024 conference. "Yet, as with any emerging technology, there are still risks, and new questions will arise as AI advances and its uses...

Google will be sharing lots of products ready to utilize at today's big Google I/O event.

In a demo, shown during Google's I/O conference Tuesday, the tool was pointed at a loudspeaker, correctly identifying a part of it as a tweeter. Far more impressively, the phone's camera was then turned onto a snippet of code...
