Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Mark Zuckerberg is still on his AI talent shopping tour. Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of AI startup Thinking Machines Lab, is leaving the company to join Meta, the Wall Street Journal reports. Tulloch informed colleagues of his decision on Friday. A spokesperson for Thinking Machines confirmed the move and said it was for personal reasons. Meta reportedly approached Tulloch after its attempt to acquire the startup failed. The offer to Tulloch was said to be worth up to $1.5 billion over six years, though Meta previously called that figure "ridiculous."

Thinking Machines was founded in late 2024 by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati and recently released a platform for fine-tuning open AI models.

OpenAI could soon face a billion-dollar fine. Authors and publishers suing the company for copyright infringement have uncovered internal messages and emails about the deletion of a dataset containing pirated books. The plaintiffs now want access to communications between OpenAI and its lawyers, arguing these could show the company acted intentionally. Under US law, fines can reach up to $150,000 per work. The New York court is also considering whether OpenAI waived attorney-client privilege through its own statements. There is also an allegation that evidence was intentionally destroyed.

A similar lawsuit against Anthropic ended in August with a $1.5 billion settlement over the use of pirated books for AI training. This may be one reason both companies have reportedly had trouble securing insurance.

Google introduces Gemini Enterprise, its answer to Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise. The new platform gives companies a central hub to create, manage, and deploy AI agents across existing workflows—no coding required. Employees can chat with Gemini to look up information, analyze data, or automate routine tasks. Out of the box, Google offers its own agents like Deep Research and Code Assist, but companies can also bring in their own or third-party agents.

Gemini Enterprise connects with data from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP, and BigQuery. There are two plans: "Gemini Business," starting at $21 per user per month for smaller teams, and "Gemini Enterprise Standard/Plus," starting at $30 with extra features for larger organizations.

Google is expanding its AI-powered search mode to more than 35 new languages and over 40 additional countries and regions, including much of Europe. The global rollout is expected to finish within a week, bringing the feature to more than 200 countries worldwide. In this mode, users tend to ask much longer and more complex questions than in traditional searches, making the experience feel more like ChatGPT than classic Google Search.

While familiar risks like potential hallucinations remain, the new mode promises a noticeably improved search experience with more precise answers and less SEO clutter. But for the broader web ecosystem, this marks a troubling shift: Google is evolving into an “omni-publisher” that keeps users inside its own platform. As links receive fewer clicks, publishers are left struggling with declining traffic and ad revenue.

Elevenlabs has released ElevenLabs UI, an open-source library featuring 22 components designed for speech and audio applications. According to the company, the toolkit makes it easy to build user interfaces for chatbots, transcription tools, music projects, or voice agents. All components are fully customizable and distributed under the MIT license, based on the shadcn/ui framework.

Examples include "transcriber-01," a dictation module for web apps, and "voice-chat-03," a chat interface with built-in state management. Additional modules like audio players, conversation bars, and interactive visualizations are also available on the project website.

Developers can freely use, modify, and integrate the source code into their own projects.
