  Stanford students have created a new artificial intelligence project that has the potential to become a "privacy nightmare" because it can determine the location where a photo was taken. The project is called PIGEON (Image Geolocation Prediction) and is designed to help find the locations where Google Street View photos were taken. However, when given several photos it had never seen before, this AI model was able to find their locations with great accuracy. Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union says this could have serious privacy implications, including government surveillance, corporate surveillance and tracking. For example, governments could use PAGEON to find dissidents or see if you've visited "forbidden" sites. All in all, in the wrong hands, this kind of technology can wreak havoc. Motivated by these concerns, the students said that the technology would not be available to the public, but if they could do something like this, the o

  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. 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

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

Google has announced the launch of its most powerful artificial intelligence model yet, called Gemini, which the company claims has surpassed Open Al's GPT-3.5 generative system. Gemini will be available in three different sizes, which are the largest and most powerful Gemini ultra, Gemini pro, which has a wide range of uses, and Gemini nano, which is used for special tasks and mobile devices, reports CNN. "Gemini was built to be multi-modal, meaning it can understand and combine different types of information, including test, code, audio, video and images," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. This AI model will be available through Google Cloud from December 13 and will work simultaneously with Google's Bard chatbot.

  “Google” has officially announced plans to phase out third-party cookies as part of the “Privacy Sandbox” initiative. This approach will be implemented in phases and will begin testing 1% of users in early 2024, followed by a more extensive elimination of third-party cookies during the third quarter of next year. External cookies are tracking codes that are placed by websites and are used primarily for online advertising and tracking user habits on different websites. They help advertisers create profiles of users' interests, after which they can offer them more specific ads. However, these same external cookies can also be used to track the user's browsing habits, leading to a loss of privacy. “Google's” decision to eliminate third-party cookies will represent a significant step forward in protecting online privacy. The process aims to reduce the tracking of users across the network, while allowing the most essential online services to remain easily accessible. During th

  Every update brings with it the chance to exploit a Zero Day vulnerability, and that is something you should protect at all costs. Recently, a Zero Day vulnerability was also spotted for Google Chrome, so Google released an important security update for those with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2023-6345 and was discovered by the Threat Analysis Group on November 24. It's not detailed yet to avoid further exploitation, but it's known to affect something called Skia – an open source 2D graphics library used in Chrome's graphics engine. Although Google only discovered the issue last week, it's not known how long malicious actors were able to use it, or exactly how much damage it caused. This vulnerability could allow hackers to remotely access personal data and inject malicious code, potentially leading to data theft. Google automatically releases the update to all Chrome browsers, so if you do not already have it, it s

Some users of the Google Drive service are reporting the loss of data, which has been stored for months, and it seems that this is not the only Google application affected by the problem.   When it comes to online data storage, Google Drive is among the most popular solutions. It's free and offers additional upgrades and more storage space for a relatively low price. However, some users are reporting losing data from the previous few months on the service, and it's possible that this isn't the only Google app affected by the problem. Users of social networks report that in addition to losing data from Google Drive, they also have problems with the Gmail service. A user shared his problem on the forums, noting that files from Google Drive suddenly disappeared. Drive returned to normal in May 2023. The issue is reported to Google's support team, but the user points out that there has been no response from Google engineers and is unable to know if his issue is being invest

Google Bard users can now get details about the YouTube videos they watch thanks to an AI chatbot. The new extension that Bard received allows it to understand what the content of the video is and, based on that, responds to requests for information made by users. "We're taking the first steps to improve Bard's understanding of YouTube videos… we've heard you want to dig deeper into YouTube videos." So we're expanding the YouTube extension so you can talk to Bard about it," Google said. Thanks to this, when you ask the Bard to find you a particular clip, you can now ask it additional questions about the contents of that clip, including a summary or something for specific details. Let's recall that in September Google announced a number of new options that come with artificial intelligence on services such as Flights, Maps, Docs, Dive, Gmail and many others.
