He has access to photos, videos, surfing history: Google's AI could know about users

 One of the most common expressions associated with the most popular search engine in the world is that it knows us better than even our closest friends because, thanks to tracking everything we do on the Internet, Google knows what we like, what we eat, whether we exercise, what music we listen to, etc. But that's nothing compared to what Google is thinking about, a new tool, that is, an option based on artificial intelligence that could really have full insight into everything we do in our lives.

He has access to photos, videos, surfing history: Google's AI could know about users

As commented by Google in an internal meeting, their tool would be like ChatGPT, with the difference that this tool would fully know people and their lives and habits and would be able to give them suggestions, tips and so on that would be personalized exclusively for them . This new product, which is still being discussed within Google, so it is not known if the company will actually start its development, is called Project Ellmann and should provide a "bird's eye view of the user's life".

Google's AI would thus have insight into the photos and videos stored in their Google Photo app, as well as insight into users' surfing habits and the like.

There are various examples of how such a form of artificial intelligence can be used. So you can ask that AI tool for advice on what to buy your partner for Christmas. Since Google already has insight into numerous photos of your partners and knows what clothes they wear, what music they listen to, etc., the artificial intelligence can suggest a t-shirt or hat with the logo of their favorite club, etc. You can also ask Google for a recipe for a food you might like, and since the AI already knows what type of food you like (eg Italian or Greek food), it can make such a suggestion.

The ways in which Project Ellmann can be used are numerous and, in many cases, it can really make people's lives easier and help them make some decisions. However, the question is who would want such a thing, that is, who wants to completely sacrifice privacy and let Google's AI into all areas of their life and intimacy, only to later end up talking to some chatbots who know you better than your lifelong friends.

Few would agree to such a thing, but as Google told CNBC, the company has long used artificial intelligence in apps like Google Photos to help them search for photos and videos, and it is well known that Google already knows everything about our surfing habits. However, thanks to major language models, including the recently introduced Gemini, the potential and capabilities are now much greater and can provide users with even better experiences.

We will see if the Ellmann project really comes to life. Google says that they are now in the stage of "early internal research" and it will take some time to make a final decision on whether to start its development to be sure that such technology will really help people, while their privacy and security will be a priority.

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia.  On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33. Barrels for August delivery traded 52 cents higher at $74.86. On the American market, the price of a barrel increased by 86 cents, to 70.72 dollars.  Traders were encouraged by slightly increased estimates of US economic growth in the first quarter and a sharp fall in inventories last week, by as much as 9.6 million barrels.  The US economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, compared to the same period last year, 0.2 percentage points stronger than previous estimates showed. At the end of 2022, it increased by 0.9 percent.  Prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's an...

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o...

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...
