Google I/O 2024 just took place, marking Google's strong progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event introduced a series of new products and features, from intelligent search, interactive chat to AI hardware for cloud computing customers.

Google releases new Gemini update to give users 'more control' over AI chatbot responses | Fox Business

Gemini Update - Powerful Virtual Assistant

Google introduced an update to Gemini 1.5 Pro, an AI model capable of processing massive amounts of data. Users can summarize up to 1,500 pages of text with just a few steps. In addition, Gemini 1.5 Flash was launched, aimed at small tasks such as summarizing conversations, annotating photos/videos, and extracting data from documents.

CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted Gemini's improved translation capabilities, which support 35 languages ​​worldwide. The feature integrates with Gmail and helps users summarize email content, including PDF and video attachments.

Gemini also supports advanced search in Gmail. For example, when comparing prices for roofing services from multiple contractors, Gemini can compile quotes with project start dates, making it easier to make a decision.

Veo, Imagen 3 and Audio Overviews - The trio of multimedia content creation

Google introduced Veo, a model for generating high-resolution videos, and Imagen 3, a model for generating images from text with the best quality available today. Imagen 3 promises to deliver realistic images with fewer image errors than previous versions.

Both tools will be available to select creators and integrated into Vertex AI — Google's machine learning platform that lets developers train and deploy AI applications.

Additionally, Google demonstrated “Audio Overviews” — the ability to create text-based audio discussions. For example, users can upload lesson plans and receive audio summaries.

Search smarter with AI Overviews

Google is rolling out “AI Overviews” in Google Search across the US. The feature provides a quick overview of answers to complex queries. For example, when searching for the best way to clean leather shoes, the results page might show an “AI Overview” with detailed instructions, aggregating information from across the web.

AI Teammate - Powerful virtual assistant for work

Google is introducing "AI Teammate," an integration with Google Workspace that allows users to easily build searchable data repositories from emails, messages, and other documents. For example, a business founder can ask "AI Teammate" if the company is ready to launch and receive analysis and summaries based on information from Gmail, Google Docs, and other Workspace apps.

Project Astra - New generation intelligent virtual assistant

Project Astra is Google's latest virtual assistant project, developed by DeepMind AI. It's still a prototype, but it can be understood as Google's attempt to create a version of JARVIS - Tony Stark's all-powerful virtual assistant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a demo video at Google I/O, the virtual assistant (via video and audio, rather than a chatbot interface) can help users remember where they left their glasses, review code, and answer questions about speaker parts.

Trillium - Next Generation AI Hardware

Google also introduced Trillium, the sixth generation of its TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) - a processor that handles complex AI tasks. Trillium will be available to cloud customers by the end of 2024.

This isn't a product that competes with other chips like Nvidia's GPUs. Google Cloud will start offering Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs in early 2025.

The Google-Nvidia partnership promises to bring large-scale AI tools to enterprise developers building large language models.

Google I/O 2024 shows Google's continued push into AI applications in its products and services. New features promise to improve the user experience and provide more powerful tools for developers.
