🤖 Google DeepMind: A bold move in AI

Google announced that DeepMind and the Google Brain team will merge, forming a new unit called Google DeepMind. This collaboration aims to accelerate progress in AI and develop more capable and responsible AI systems.

DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis will lead the new unit, which will focus on bringing together world-class AI talent with the necessary resources to create groundbreaking AI breakthroughs and products across Google and Alphabet.

By merging Google Brain and DeepMind, we can expect groundbreaking advancements in AI technology. As Google DeepMind, they'll work on solving some of the hardest scientific and engineering challenges of our time, driving the next wave of world-changing breakthroughs.

🖥️ Google’s Bard gets a major update: Now it helps you code!

Google Research's Bard (ChatGPT competitor) now offers programming assistance, including code generation, debugging, and explanation. This update supports over 20 programming languages, such as C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript.

Here are 4 of the new capabilities:

  • Generate code and export your Python code to Google Colab (no copy paste required)

  • Write functions for Google Sheets

  • Explain code (it can clarify major GitHub repos' code without needing a copy-paste)

  • Debug your code and explain errors

The bottom line: Google is making an effort to keep pace with ChatGPT. However, Bard is still an early experiment; its reliability remains unproven.

👻 Snapchat My AI Chatbot: Global access for all users

Snapchat announces the global rollout of its AI-powered chatbot, My AI, that is powered by ChatGPT along with exciting features:

  1. Personalization: Customize your AI with unique Bitmoji variations, a name, and start chatting.
