Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced".


AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations. 

The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google. 

Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment". 

During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question. 

Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests. 

Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself. 

It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard chatbot. 

Gemini appears to have set the standard, showing that the program can read sources other than text content, such as images, according to Chirag Dikeit, an analyst at Gartner. 

This could, he adds, "affect the development of innovations that would likely transform artificial intelligence." 

So far, Google has struggled to attract users like OpenAI is doing with ChatGPT. 

The company claims that the new version is better than the OpenAI platform GPT-4 that runs ChatGPT in terms of performance. 

A more powerful version of the OpenAI software is expected to appear in 2024. 

Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT, says the new products will make the current ones look "like distant cousins". 

It is not known whether the recent turmoil in the company, due to which Altman was fired and returned to his job after a few days, will affect the launch of the new version. 

The company also has a new competitor, Elon Musk's hAI, owner of social network X, which is trying to raise up to one billion euros to invest in research and development. 

And the Chinese company Baidu has joined the race in the field of artificial intelligence, developing its own artificial intelligence products. 

But as technology advances, so do fears of its potential harm. 

Governments around the world are trying to establish rules or even laws to prevent possible future risks from artificial intelligence. 

This topic was discussed at the summit in Great Britain, held in November. 

A declaration was signed calling for the safe development of artificial intelligence. 

And Britain's King Charles III pointed to the potential dangers that need to be dealt with "urgently, unitedly and jointly".

“Google Maps” is getting a new feature, and here is what it improves

  Nowadays, it seems nearly impossible to keep something like your location a secret, and we are often left at the mercy of companies to take the appropriate steps to ensure this. To achieve just that goal, Google has released new location controls for Maps designed to give you better control over what data is captured and where. One of the most significant changes being introduced is the option to save your Timeline directly to your device instead of the cloud. If you do not already know, the Timeline is an encrypted record of all the areas and attractions you have visited. You need to turn on location history; it is off by default, to activate Timeline. As part of the Google Maps update, Location History will automatically delete your data after three months, compared to the previous 18 months. However, you can delete all information whenever you want or you can turn off automatic deletion. Additionally, you can turn off Location History at any time. Google Maps will also let you...

Wood energy

Wood is considered humankind’s very first source of energy. Today it is still the most important single source of renewable energy providing about 6 percent of the global total primary energy supply. More than two billion people depend on wood energy for cooking and/or heating, particularly in households in developing countries. It represents the only domestically available and affordable source of energy. Private households’ cooking and heating with woodfuels represents one third of the global renewable energy consumption, making wood the most decentralized energy in the world. Woodfuels arise from multiple sources including forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests, co-products from wood processing, post-consumer recovered wood and processed wood-based fuels. Wood energy is also an important emergency backup fuel. Societies at any socio-economic level will switch easily back to wood energy when encountering economic difficulties, natura...

Which countries in Europe are managing the energy issue the best?

Tax benefits. Decreased consumption of power and a desperate search for gas substitutes. Just as the chilly, dark days of winter begin, Europe is dealing with one of its worst energy crises in recent memory. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February of this year made supply problems worse and drove up the price of imported natural gas. Governments in Europe have experimented with a wide range of policies to protect citizens from the harshest effects of rising prices while maintaining their economy. However, the growing number of street protests and worker strikes in numerous cities demonstrates how intense and real the suffering is for millions of people. The best at controlling inflation are France and Spain, while Germany, Italy, and Greece are setting the bar for long-term plans to guarantee their energy needs. And the UK is having difficulties. A variable risk Nearly half of Europe's total natural gas imports in 2021 came from Russia, but some nations were always going to b...
