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 rolling out AI-powered shopping summaries in Chrome for users in the US. When you click the icon next to a website address, a pop-up appears with details about the reliability and quality of online stores - including information on product quality, pricing, customer service, and return policies. The feature pulls data from review partners like Trustpilot, Yotpo, and Reseller Ratings. The summaries are currently available only in English and limited to the desktop version. Google has not shared any information about a mobile rollout.
Google's AI systems processed over 980 trillion tokens in June—more than double the amount in May, according to Google product manager Logan Kilpatrick and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis. Tokens are short text chunks used by AI models to understand or generate responses.
The increase may not only reflect higher use, but especially more use of so-called reasoning models like Gemini Flash 2.5, which process many more tokens to give more accurate responses. Artificial Analysis reports Flash 2.5 uses about 17 times more tokens than its previous version and is 150 times more expensive for reasoning tasks.
