AISYSNEXT, always at the forefront of artificial intelligence news, presents in detail the main announcements from the recent Google I/O conference, held from May 14 to 16, 2024. Google used this conference to unveil several advances that aim to make AI accessible and useful to everyone by rolling it out across its flagship products and services.
1. A transformed search experience: more complete, immediate answers
Google is introducing a new search experience called SGE (Search Generative Experience). This groundbreaking feature uses the Gemini AI model to generate complete, informative answers right at the top of the search results. No more endless lists of links! You now get a clear, concise summary of the information you are looking for, so you save time and get straight to the point.
Example: Imagine you are searching for information on “the best Italian restaurants in Paris”. With SGE, you get a ranked list of the best restaurants, along with detailed descriptions, user reviews and mouth-watering photos, all without having to click on several links.
2. Video search with Google Lens: explore information from videos
Google Lens, Google’s visual recognition tool, gains a new feature: video search. You now simply point your camera at a video to launch an instant search. You can identify objects, places, people or information that appear in the video.
Example: You are watching a travel video and fall in love with a stunning landscape? Point your smartphone at the video with Google Lens and instantly get information about the place, similar photos and suggestions for things to do in the area.
3. Gemini integrated into Workspace: AI in the service of your productivity
Gemini, Google’s powerful AI model, is coming to the Workspace apps: Gmail, Docs, Drive, Slides and Sheets. This integration opens up new possibilities to improve your day-to-day productivity. Gemini can help you:
- Write emails faster and more effectively by suggesting sentences, correcting mistakes and adapting the tone to your recipient.
- Analyze and summarize long documents by extracting the key information and presenting it clearly and concisely.
- Generate creative content such as Slides presentations, Docs reports or marketing scripts.
Example: Imagine you have to write a report on the results of a marketing campaign. Gemini can analyze your data, identify the key trends and generate a complete, well-structured report, so you save time and focus on analyzing the results.
4. Gemini on Android: your personal AI assistant
Gemini is arriving on Android smartphones, ready to assist you with all your daily tasks. With features such as “Circle to Search”, PDF summaries and detailed image descriptions, Gemini becomes your personal AI assistant.
Example: You are in a store and want to know more about a product? Take a photo of the product with your smartphone and use Gemini’s “Circle to Search” feature to get detailed information, user reviews and online offers.
5. Veo, an AI video generator: create realistic videos in the blink of an eye
Google is unveiling Veo, an AI video generator that creates realistic 1080p videos from simple text descriptions. Whether you are a content creator, an entrepreneur or an everyday user, Veo lets you bring your ideas to life and share your messages in a captivating way.
Example: You want to create an explainer video to present your new product? Write a detailed description of your product, including its features, its benefits and its target audience. Veo then generates a captivating video that highlights the key points of your product and grabs your viewers’ attention.
6. Project Astra for multimodal search: human-machine interaction at a new level
Developed by Google DeepMind, Project Astra is a futuristic AI assistant that can talk and see through a smartphone camera. This groundbreaking technology opens up new prospects for human-machine interaction and allows more natural, intuitive conversations.
Example: Imagine being able to ask your smartphone questions and get detailed answers, accompanied by realistic gestures and facial expressions. Project Astra could also help you navigate your surroundings, identify objects and people, and interact with the world around you in a smoother, more natural way.
