  • Google Gemini Live Now Free For All Android Users For Free; Here’s How To Access |

    Gemini Live Free: Tech giant Google is rolling out its Gemini Live AI-powered assistant to all Android users for free. This AI-powered assistant allows users to have natural conversations with the chatbot on their phone. Earlier, Gemini Live was exclusively available to users with a Gemini Advanced subscription, priced at Rs 1,950 per month following a one-month free trial. 

    This subscription also grants access to Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google’s most advanced AI model. Google introduced the assistant with the Google Pixel 9 series last month with several new AI features which include the Pixel Studio, enhanced Magic Eraser, and Gemini Live. Notably, this new AI-powered assistant or Google Live chatbot was only available to Gemini Advanced subscribers. 

    Gemini Live AI Availability 

    The free version of the Gemini Live chatbot is currently available only for Android users through the Gemini app and exclusively in English. iPhone users, who can access Gemini Live via the Google app on iOS, are not able to use the free version at this time. 

    Android users eager to try Gemini Live without subscribing can explore the free version once it’s released. Google is also expected to introduce the free version of Gemini Live in additional languages and expand its availability to other platforms, including iOS.

    How To Access Gemini Live  

    Step 1: Open the Gemini app on your phone and locate the new feature by tapping on the “new circular waveform with a sparkle icon” in the bottom right corner of the app or overlay.

    Step 2: After tapping the icon, a fullscreen window will appear, displaying “Hold” and “End” buttons at the bottom of the screen.

    Step 3: Users Interact with Gemini by holding the “Hold” button to engage in a conversation.  

    Step 4: If needed, exit the fullscreen interface to multitask and continue using your phone while the conversation with Gemini remains active. 

    Step 5: To end the session, tap on the notification or simply say “Stop” to disable Gemini Live. 

    What Gemini Live Subscription Model Offers 

    The subscription model includes Gemini support for Google services such as Gmail and Docs, along with Python code access for developers, and offers priority access to new features. 

    With Gemini Advanced, users get 2TB of Google One storage, which can be utilized across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. This storage also serves as a backup for devices, functioning similarly to other Google One plans.

  • Google Pauses Gemini’s People Image Feature After Anti-‘Woke’ Backlash |

    New Delhi: Google has paused the image-generation function of its Gemini AI chatbot following a string of controversies. The company, acknowledged that Gemini had provided “incorrect representations in certain historical contexts” and assured users that an enhanced version of the feature would be released shortly.

    In a statement on the X platform regarding Gemini’s text-to-image abilities, Google stated “We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.” 

    Images produced by Gemini spread across social media recently, leading to widespread ridicule and anger. Some users criticized Google, claiming that the company prioritizes being “woke” over truth or accuracy.

    Some of the images that drew criticism included a portrayal of four Swedish women, none of whom were depicted as white, as well as scenes featuring Black and Asian soldiers dressed as Nazis.

    “It’s embarrassingly hard to get Google Gemini to acknowledge that white people exist,” Debarghya Das, the engineer who founded the enterprise search startup Glean, shared on X platform a post containing several images created by Gemini.

    The challenges faced by AI models, such as overlooking people of color and perpetuating stereotypes underscore the need for continual improvement and ethical considerations in AI development. 

    Google’s efforts to keep pace with competitors like OpenAI since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022 have been accompanied by setbacks in the rollout of its AI products. Instances like the apology issued last year for inaccuracies in its AI chatbot Bard’s demonstration highlight the ongoing complexities in AI technology. 

  • Why Is Google’s Bard AI Chatbox Renamed Gemini? Know Features Of Gemini Advanced And Availability |

    New Delhi: Google recently made several announcements in a blog post, which include renaming its Bard AI chatbot to Gemini, introducing a new Gemini app, and rolling out the Gemini Advanced large language model alongside a premium subscription.

    Bard, previously known as Google’s conversational generative AI assistant, competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It offers users online access to AI capabilities for generating images and text content based on their inputs.

    Do you know why Google took the drastic step of renaming its popular widely-used chatbot to Gemini? CEO Sundar Pichai has recently provided insights into this decision during his latest interaction. 

    Explaining the motive behind the name alteration during an interview with CNBC, Pichai stated, “Gemini represents our overarching strategy for developing our most proficient and secure AI model. Bard served as the primary means for users to engage with our models directly, thus transitioning it to Gemini aligns seamlessly since it directly refers to the underlying Gemini model.” (Also  Read: Vivo Y200e 5G Spotted On Google Play Console, May Launch In India By February End, Check Tipped Specs)

    “I believe it will also serve as the conduit through which we will continuously enhance our models, providing users with a direct experience. Hence, we concluded that the name change was appropriate.”
