Alphabet has just organized its annual conference, Google I/O. During this event, which shortly preceded theWorldwide Developer Conferencefrom Apple, its competitor from Mountain View, notably announced the arrival of the “AI Overview” functionality within its search engine. This one,according to our colleagues fromPresse-citron.netwho have looked into the issue, allow "to have in one click the answer to a complex question, accompanied by a press review“.
During the event, Google also announced thatGemini 1.5 Pro, its alternative to the premium version of ChatGPT, will appear in early access for subscribersWorkspace. This is the new name for G Suite, with the Docs word processing tool, presentation software and the Sheets spreadsheet, but including advanced options unavailable to general public users.
Change for Android 15
At the same time, Alphabet announced thatGemini 1.5 would replace the Google Assistanton Android 15. The publisher explains here that it developed the system locally, which, in theory, is better for the cybersecurity of the devices.He whispers to himselfmoreover that a drastic improvement of Siri boosted with artificial intelligence will soon be entitled to the same advantage, perhaps presented precisely at the Worldwide Developer Conference.
The beta version for Android developers has been available since last February. A final version is expected by the third quarter of 2024, and should therefore see the light of day not far from the release date of iOS 18, also in final version. Apple's new operating system is in fact expected in beta from June as well, for global deployment in September.
