  • Google’s Gemini Live Launches in Hindi, With 8 More Indian Languages Coming Soon |

    New Delhi: In an exciting development for tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike, Google introduced a host of new artificial intelligence (AI) features tailored specifically for India during the Google for India event on October 3, 2024. A major highlight of this announcement is the launch of Gemini Live, part of Google’s innovative AI chatbot now available in Hindi. This move marks a significant step toward making advanced AI technology more accessible, with plans to support eight additional languages in the near future.

    Gemini Live will soon expand its language options to include Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, and Urdu. Initially available only to Gemini Advance subscribers, this feature is now accessible to all Android users, enabling more natural and conversational interactions. Moreover, Google has added 10 new voice types for Gemini Live which will improve the user experience even further.

    Google has also rolled out new AI-generated summaries for Google Maps along with an AI Overview feature in Google Search that includes video capabilities. This experimental video feature which is available in Search Labs, enables users to record a video with Google Lens and receive AI-generated overviews based on the video’s context. For instance, users can capture a cooking video and ask for helpful tips or assistance!

    Earlier this year, Google rolled out the AI Overviews feature to all users after testing it as part of its Search Generative Experience (SGE). This feature can now summarise key information and provide relevant reference links.  It streamlines the search process by replacing the traditional approach of displaying multiple website links at once.

    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.

  • Are You Facing Issues With Creating AI Images From Gemini? Google Explain The Reason |

    New Delhi: Google has officially recognized issues with its Gemini model’s AI image generation, particularly concerning specific prompts. The tech giant stated that users requesting various images related to a particular culture or historical period should receive accurate responses. However, this hasn’t been the case, with Google attributing the problems to its “tuning” measures.

    Explanation Of Shortcomings

    In a recent blog post, Google delved into the factors contributing to problems with its Gemini model’s AI image generation. The company highlighted two main factors. (Also Read: From Investment To Income: A Rs 5-7 Lakh Investment In This Business Idea Could Yield Rs 1.5 Lakh Monthly Returns)

    Firstly, their tuning process, aimed at ensuring Gemini could display a diverse range of people, overlooked scenarios where a varied representation wasn’t appropriate. Secondly, over time, the model became overly cautious and started declining certain prompts altogether. (Also Read: User Receives Fake iPhone 15 From Amazon; Company Responds)

    Temporary Pause On Image Generation

    Google admitted that their recently launched news image generation feature for the Gemini conversational app, which included creating images of people, missed the mark.

    Some generated images were inaccurate or even offensive. In response, Google temporarily paused the image generation of people in Gemini while they worked on an improved version.

    The company emphasized that this outcome wasn’t their intention and reiterated their stance against deliberately creating inaccuracies, especially with historical content.

    Actions To Address Issues

    To resolve the problems, Google plans to subject Gemini’s AI image generation to more testing. However, the company mentioned that they can’t guarantee Gemini won’t make mistakes or produce embarrassing, wrong, or offensive results even after fixing the issues. Nonetheless, they promised to take action whenever problems arise.

    Recommendation To Users

    While the Gemini AI model undergoes improvements, Google suggests users utilize Search’s AI image generation, which gathers “fresh, high-quality information” from the web.

    Temporary Halt On Generating Images Of People

    Following a backlash over inaccurate results, Google temporarily suspended its Gemini AI model from generating images of people.

    This decision came after users shared images created by the model, primarily featuring people of color, including scenes from history that only involved white people.
