After an average of 6,000 words, Stanford and Google researchers can spin up a generative agent that will act a lot like you do.

The billionaire has quietly founded a startup that aims to “bring people closer, simplify communication, and enhance engagement” through artificial intelligence.

Long gone are the days of simply watching the news. Google unveiled the latest version of its TV operating system at CES 2025 on Monday. It uses the

Google is establishing a team to build AI that can simulate the physical world, led by one of the former co-leads on OpenAI's Sora model.

Google DeepMind is assembling a new team of artificial intelligence researchers to develop “world models” that can simulate physical environments. The initiative will be led by Tim Brooks, a former co-lead for OpenAI’s Sora project who joined DeepMind in October to work on Google’s video generation and world simulators.

Google has been testing new AI products and features which are to be launched in the coming months, heres what we know.

Gmail didn’t get off to a good start on the security and privacy front, but it’s much better now and its new upgrades make it an account worth keeping. But only if you use the new security upgrades and common sense to ensure you don’t lose your Gmail account (and those it leads to) to hackers or simply through lack of use.

Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun described world models this way during a speech at Hudson Forum earlier this year: “A world model is your mental model of how the world behaves…You can imagine a sequence of actions you might take, and your world model will allow you to predict what the effect of the sequence of action will be on the world.”

With AI and all-day battery life among its features, the Pixel 9 is Google's most affordable flagship phone, and it's even more affordable with this deal.

Google's groundbreaking white paper reveals how AI agents leverage advanced reasoning, real-time data access and autonomous decision-making.

This is another feature that improved the user experience. Making unlocking a phone easier encouraged users to lock their phones and protect their data. It also made them more secure because it's generally more difficult to hack a biometric lock than a password or PIN. These two useful new smartphone features improve the user experience.
