Amid growing concerns about the environmental impact of artificial intelligence, Google says it has calculated the energy required for its Gemini AI service: Sending a single text prompt consumes as much energy as watching television for nine seconds.

Gemini Live includes the AI assistant's ability to recognize objects in the real world and answer questions in real time while highlighting those objects.

It’s the most transparent estimate yet from one of the big AI companies, and a long-awaited peek behind the curtain for researchers.

Commentary: Gemini for Home is a huge leap into conversational AI for all Nest users, and we've been waiting for serious improvements.

Gemini Live can now handle tasks across Calendar and Keep apps, but soon, it will also be able to handle chores within the Phone and Messages apps, as well.

Gemini queries are getting cleaner and more efficient, according to data it published today, but their total carbon footprint is still growing.

Google didn’t just give the Fitbit app a makeover. It said that coaching and AI were at the core of the redesign, and that the “entire app was rebuilt so the health coach can understand your goals, build your plan, contextualize your metrics and bring insights at the right moments.”

Google has hinted that the debut of Gemini for Android Auto and Google TV could be just a few weeks away, as announced at the recent Made by Google event.

Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant in the company's line of smart displays and speakers, a step up in capabilities for its smart home devices. The announcement was made

For likely the first time ever, security researchers have shown how AI can be hacked to create real world havoc, allowing them to turn off lights, open smart shutters, and more.

Google estimates that a median Gemini text prompt uses up about five drops of water, or 0.26 milliliters, and about as much electricity as watching TV for less than nine seconds, roughly 0.24 watt-hours (Wh), which produces around 0.03 grams of carbon dioxide emissions.
