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.

Google is working on a platform for personalized chatbots to compete with Meta and Character.AI, according to two sources who spoke to The Information. Users will be able to create their own chatbots or interact with celebrity-themed bots. Google is exploring partnerships with influencers and may integrate the technology into YouTube. The chatbots will be powered by Google's Gemini AI model. Ryan Germick, a designer at Google Labs known for creating Google Doodles, is leading the project, which could launch later this year. While Character.AI has found success with highly personalized chatbots, especially among younger users, Meta's celebrity chatbots don't seem to have gained much traction since their debut in the fall of 2023.

YouTube has expanded its privacy policy to cover AI-generated content. Users can now ask YouTube to take down synthetic media that imitates their face or voice. When reviewing requests, YouTube will consider the potential for confusion with real content and whether the video is intended as parody or satire. Content creators should be aware that privacy complaints alone may not necessarily result in removal. This move comes in response to the rapid growth of AI-generated content. The quality of AI-based voice and facial imitations has improved significantly recently, making this issue increasingly relevant.
