We’re far from the days of using AI for driving directions or the occasional weather report. Thanks to advances in AI, our phones are now our daily assistants, helping us research, brainstorm, make grocery lists or explore the most complex questions — like the meaning of life itself.
Gemini 2.0 is Google’s largest and most capable AI model yet, as it has the ability to process and analyze text, code, audio, images, and video.
Gemini stands out from other AI in how seamlessly it provides assistance in real time. For instance, you could record a public bus passing by on the street, and Gemini could tell you its entire route. If you’re in a foreign country, Gemini could help you interact with local residents in their native language.
In addition to communicating in different languages, Gemini can break down information in different formats and fashions. Through the GenExplainer feature, you can learn what a black hole is through a cooking metaphor. You can have a historical event summed up in a poem. Or you can hear about the science of volcanoes in the play-by-play style of a sports commentator.
Gemini Live enables you to engage with Gemini as you would with any human assistant, allowing for interruptions within the conversation, topic changes, questions, etc.
Whether speaking in various languages or adapting to different teaching styles, Gemini’s flexibility in how it interacts with users shows how Google’s AI research lab, DeepMind, is putting inclusiveness at the forefront.
As this article states: “Google DeepMind actively engages with different communities, including educators, artists, and people with disabilities, to understand their needs and ensure that AI is developed and deployed in an inclusive way. In addition, the team is working to build a robust, inclusive talent pipeline that can help shape how Google develops and applies AI.”
