Google Exploring Personalized 'Life Story Teller' AI
Google is in the early stages of exploring an AI-powered application named "Project Ellmann" that would create a personalized "life story" for users by analyzing their phone data and photos. The system would ingest a user's Google search results and photos, spot patterns and themes, and use that to build a bird's-eye narrative of the user's life experiences over time. For example, it could identify major life events like university years or becoming a parent, as well as more granular details like favorite foods, interests, and pet ownership. An accompanying chatbot could then answer questions about the user's life by drawing on this longitudinal understanding. The technology aims to provide a richer, more contextual understanding of a user's photos than current labeling and metadata can offer. However, given ethical concerns around personal data and unwanted memories resurfacing, Google would need to carefully consider privacy protections and responsible implementation if this concept were to materialize into an actual product. The idea comes as tech giants race to leverage AI to build more personalized "memory" offerings.
MeasuredRisk Showcases AI-Driven Risk Management on Unicorn Hunters
MeasuredRisk, an AI-driven risk management startup, was recently featured on the investment series Unicorn Hunters. Founded in 2021, MeasuredRisk leverages AI and ML to help global organizations identify and mitigate supply chain, counterparty, and other business risks. Its founder and CEO, Tom Albert, presented to the show's "Circle of Money" - a panel of high-profile investors and business leaders who evaluate investment opportunities. If startups on the show garner interest from the circle, they can receive capital from the show's Unicoin cryptocurrency. With robust existing revenue streams and a scalable business model, MeasuredRisk embodies the type of high-growth, pre-IPO opportunity Unicorn Hunters aims to present to its global audience. The appearance represents a chance for the startup to access funding and for everyday viewers to invest in an innovative company poised for growth.
Google recently published an impressive video showcasing the capabilities of its new AI system Gemini. In the widely-viewed demo, Gemini appears to respond in real-time to spoken and visual prompts, correctly identifying objects and even inventing a game. However, Google has since clarified that the AI was not actually reacting spontaneously in the video. Rather, it was fed a series of still images extracted from the footage along with text explanations to guide its responses.
While the capabilities demonstrated are still advanced, this editing contrasts starkly with the free-flowing dialogue initially presented. Google stated that sequences were shortened and prompts edited to "showcase the range of Gemini's capabilities and inspire developers." However, the extent of these edits calls into question exactly how advanced Gemini's understanding of multimodal inputs like video actually is in real-world conditions.
The exaggerated demo comes on the heels of leadership drama at rival OpenAI and increasing hype around generative AI. By overstating Gemini's spontaneous reasoning abilities, Google risks accusations of misleading hype itself. Still, Gemini remains an impressive technical achievement. For Google, the line between inspiration and misrepresentation may prove difficult to walk as competition intensifies in the AI space. More transparency about the wizardry behind the curtain would serve both Google and the public well.
