Google is actively testing AMIE, a research medical AI system designed to conduct synchronous video consultations with patients. In a recent evaluation, AMIE performed alongside professional patient actors and received clinical evaluator ratings comparable to those of primary care physicians across critical measures. The study involved fifteen trained actors who simulated various medical conditions, covering […]
Google has launched Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite, two new AI models aimed at reducing latency and token costs for enterprise AI agents. The company emphasizes the importance of efficiency in running autonomous software agents in production environments, highlighting how every additional token increases costs and slows down workflows. The new models cater to […]
Google DeepMind, in collaboration with Isomorphic Labs, has initiated a bioresilience program to reduce the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in biological fields while enhancing responses to outbreaks. This partnership has rapidly expanded, establishing over 15 collaborations with government agencies, biosecurity organizations, and research institutions in just one year. The initiative stems from the […]
Two hundred and fifty years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, Google has unveiled a new commercial that poses the question: What if the Founding Fathers had access to Google Workspace? With the catchy tagline “Group project, but make it 1776,” the advertisement features a mostly unseen Thomas Jefferson drafting the declaration. His work […]
Government ministries are implementing Google Cloud generative AI technology to automate planning operations within municipal agencies. The initiative aims to tackle the large volume of unstructured data that slows down the processing of planning applications, particularly as the UK government aims to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and […]
Google has announced the integration of its Display Ads into a new AI-powered platform known as Demand Gen, signaling the end of a traditional digital advertising model that has been prominent for nearly two decades.

Drug discovery is a notoriously expensive and time-consuming undertaking, with the process of finding a viable molecule often stretching over a decade and costing billions, while most candidates still fail to reach the market. Many AI startups have emerged, aiming to alleviate this burden, but they tend to cater to researchers who already possess sophisticated […]
Models like Google Gemma 4 are creating new challenges for enterprise AI governance as Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) struggle to secure edge workloads. Traditionally, security measures have involved creating robust digital barriers around cloud services, employing cloud access security brokers, and monitoring all external communications to protect sensitive data from leaks. However, Google’s latest […]
Many artificial intelligence startups continue to produce concepts that are largely superficial "wrappers" built on existing models, raising concerns among investors about their long-term viability. Following the evaluation of over 4,000 applications for their joint AI accelerator program targeting Indian startups, run by Google and Accel, Accel partner Prayank Swaroop noted that the majority of […]
More than 30 employees from OpenAI and Google DeepMind have publicly backed Anthropic in its legal battle against the U.S. Defense Department. The support comes after the Pentagon classified Anthropic as a “supply-chain risk.” This designation is typically reserved for foreign adversaries and arose after the AI firm declined to let the DOD utilize its […]
