Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US. This feature provides AI-generated answers to any inquiry made by the user. The purpose of AI Overview was to enhance user experience and provide better search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews. We hold ourselves to a high standard, as do our users, so we expect and appreciate the feedback, and take it seriously.

American tech giant Google is expanding its generative AI catalog with PaliGemma, a brand-new AI model. Announced during the recently concluded Google I\/O, PaliGemma is a vision-language model (VLM) that understands both visual and text prompts simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we're excited to further expand the Gemma family with the introduction of PaliGemma, a powerful open vision-language model (VLM)\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company stated during the event<\/a>. The model was inspired by PaLI-3, a small-scale VLM developed by Cornell University.

According to Google, the model is designed for \u201cclass-leading fine-tune performance\u201d on several tasks including writing captions for images, answering visual questions, and understanding texts in images. Google further added, \"We're providing both pre-trained and fine-tuned checkpoints at multiple resolutions, as well as checkpoints specifically tuned to a mixture of tasks for immediate exploration\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American tech giant Google is expanding its generative AI catalog with PaliGemma, a brand-new AI model. Announced during the recently concluded Google I\/O, PaliGemma is a vision-language model (VLM) that understands both visual and text prompts simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, we're excited to further expand the Gemma family with the introduction of PaliGemma, a powerful open vision-language model (VLM)\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, the company stated during the event<\/a>.

According to Google, the model is designed for \u201cclass-leading fine-tune performance\u201d on several tasks including writing captions for images, answering visual questions, and understanding texts in images. Google further added, \"We're providing both pre-trained and fine-tuned checkpoints at multiple resolutions, as well as checkpoints specifically tuned to a mixture of tasks for immediate exploration\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many of Google\u2019s other AI models, PaliGemma is an open model. It is available to developers and researchers on various platforms such as GitHub, Hugging Face models, Kaggle, Vertex AI Model Garden, and ai.nvidia.com<\/a>. Interested developers can also interact with the model via this Hugging Face Space. The launch of PaliGemma coincides with other AI tools released by Google like Gemma 2 and Gemini 1.5 Flash. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Launches Brand New Vision Language Model: PaliGemma","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-launches-brand-new-vision-language-model-paligemma","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-02 21:46:01","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-02 11:46:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=17141","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};

Google has unveiled a new feature for its flagship AI model called Gemini Live. The announcement came during the recently concluded<\/a> \u201cMade By Google\u201d event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGemini Live is the most natural way to interact with Gemini. Now you can have free-flowing conversations with Gemini\u201d<\/em>, the company stated during their keynote speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Live allows users to freely converse with Gemini. The AI will respond in real-time to offer solutions or generate answers to a given question. Users can interrupt the AI mid-response to change the topic or explore a particular point further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Live also works in the background or when the phone is locked. So, users can continue chatting with the AI while performing other tasks. Users can choose from 10 different voices for their Gemini model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google hopes this feature will be able to replicate real-life conversations, making the user experience more natural and satisfying. The company has also claimed that it has completely integrated Gemini to the Android user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Gemini Live is available only to Gemini Advanced subscribers and is only available in English.

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks.

Google has unveiled a new feature for its flagship AI model called Gemini Live. The announcement came during the recently concluded<\/a> \u201cMade By Google\u201d event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGemini Live is the most natural way to interact with Gemini. Now you can have free-flowing conversations with Gemini\u201d<\/em>, the company stated during their keynote speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Live allows users to freely converse with Gemini. The AI will respond in real-time to offer solutions or generate answers to a given question. Users can interrupt the AI mid-response to change the topic or explore a particular point further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Live also works in the background or when the phone is locked. So, users can continue chatting with the AI while performing other tasks. Users can choose from 10 different voices for their Gemini model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google hopes this feature will be able to replicate real-life conversations, making the user experience more natural and satisfying. The company has also claimed that it has completely integrated Gemini to the Android user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US.

Google\u2019s AI overview feature has come under criticism from users over the past couple of weeks. In response, the American tech giant came out with a statement addressing the issues and assured that the company has \u201cmade more than a dozen technical improvements\u201d to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the recently concluded Google I\/O, the company announced that they will make the AI Overview feature available to every person in the US.

Since then, users have reported multiple<\/a> misleading or outright incorrect responses generated by the AI. Many people have posted these bizarre search results on X (formerly Twitter). This has predictably led to scrutiny about the quality of Google\u2019s products. Experts have also questioned Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with its competitors in the generative AI race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google responded via a blog release,<\/a> saying, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cIn the last week, people on social media have shared some odd and erroneous overviews.

Social media company YouTube has announced its plan to integrate generative AI into YouTube Shorts. In a blog post, YouTube confirmed that users will be able to use Google\u2019s VEO to create backgrounds for their Shorts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll start integrating Google DeepMind's most capable model for generating video, Veo, into YouTube Shorts later this year<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, the post stated<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google also confirmed<\/a> this development, stating. \u201cOver the next few months, we\u2019re bringing our advanced generative AI models, Veo and Imagen 3, to YouTube creators through Dream Screen\u201d<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, YouTube introduced Dream Screen, an AI tool that allows users to create backgrounds for short content via text prompts. With the integration of VEO, the company claims users will be able to generate \u201ceven more incredible video backgrounds\u201d and visualize improbable concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, YouTube plans to add a feature that can generate 6-second video clips with the help of VEO. The AI will create images in 4 images in different styles from a single text prompt. Users can then choose one of the images and the AI will create a 6-second clip with the same art style. However, this feature will not be available until 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The videos generated with the help of AI will have a watermark created by SynthID, another one of Google\u2019s creations.

Google\u2019s move reflects increasing scrutiny of crypto promotions worldwide as regulators aim to protect consumers in the volatile digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s updated policy<\/a> now mandates Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration for advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK. These ads will only be allowed if advertisers meet all local regulatory requirements and secure Google certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Google will allow ads for hardware wallets designed to store private crypto keys, provided they do not offer services such as buying, selling, or trading digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertisers must ensure compliance with UK regulations and obtain Google\u2019s approval before launching campaigns. This policy overhaul comes amid growing efforts by global regulators to combat misleading or unauthorized crypto promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related:<\/em><\/strong> A Year On Out, Credit Suisse's Fallout And Regulatory Challenges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Scrutiny Globally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FCA recently warned against a Solana-based project called \u201cRetardio,\u201d highlighting concerns about unauthorized promotions that could leave consumers vulnerable to financial losses, Cointelegraph reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Nigeria\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission introduced stricter marketing rules for crypto products. Influencers and service providers in Nigeria now require explicit permission from the SEC before promoting digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s decision reflects a broader trend in the financial sector. As the crypto market matures, governments and regulators are pushing for increased oversight to protect consumers. Misleading advertisements have often drawn criticism for downplaying the risks associated with investing in digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Google updated its crypto advertising policies, but this latest move highlights the growing complexity of compliance in global markets. Advertisers must now navigate a patchwork of local regulations to ensure their campaigns remain legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s updated policies will take effect on January 15, 2025, offering crypto businesses a clear timeline to adapt. As regulators continue to tighten their grip, companies must stay proactive to avoid disruptions in their advertising strategies.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Tightens Crypto Ad Rules, FCA Registration Now Mandatory In UK","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-tightens-crypto-ad-rules-fca-registration-now-mandatory-in-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-29 01:38:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-28 14:38:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=19945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19917,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-12-19 21:51:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-19 10:51:13","post_content":"\n

Starting in January 2025, crypto advertisers in the United Kingdom will face stricter rules as Google updates its advertising policies. The new requirements are designed to align with local regulations and target crypto exchanges, software wallets, and hardware wallets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s move reflects increasing scrutiny of crypto promotions worldwide as regulators aim to protect consumers in the volatile digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s updated policy<\/a> now mandates Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration for advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK. These ads will only be allowed if advertisers meet all local regulatory requirements and secure Google certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Google will allow ads for hardware wallets designed to store private crypto keys, provided they do not offer services such as buying, selling, or trading digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertisers must ensure compliance with UK regulations and obtain Google\u2019s approval before launching campaigns. This policy overhaul comes amid growing efforts by global regulators to combat misleading or unauthorized crypto promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Related:<\/em><\/strong> A Year On Out, Credit Suisse's Fallout And Regulatory Challenges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Scrutiny Globally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FCA recently warned against a Solana-based project called \u201cRetardio,\u201d highlighting concerns about unauthorized promotions that could leave consumers vulnerable to financial losses, Cointelegraph reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Nigeria\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission introduced stricter marketing rules for crypto products. Influencers and service providers in Nigeria now require explicit permission from the SEC before promoting digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s decision reflects a broader trend in the financial sector. As the crypto market matures, governments and regulators are pushing for increased oversight to protect consumers. Misleading advertisements have often drawn criticism for downplaying the risks associated with investing in digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Google updated its crypto advertising policies, but this latest move highlights the growing complexity of compliance in global markets. Advertisers must now navigate a patchwork of local regulations to ensure their campaigns remain legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s updated policies will take effect on January 15, 2025, offering crypto businesses a clear timeline to adapt. As regulators continue to tighten their grip, companies must stay proactive to avoid disruptions in their advertising strategies.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Tightens Crypto Ad Rules, FCA Registration Now Mandatory In UK","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-tightens-crypto-ad-rules-fca-registration-now-mandatory-in-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-29 01:38:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-28 14:38:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=19945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19917,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-12-19 21:51:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-19 10:51:13","post_content":"\n

  • The policy overhaul is part of global regulatory efforts to combat misleading crypto promotions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Starting in January 2025, crypto advertisers in the United Kingdom will face stricter rules as Google updates its advertising policies. The new requirements are designed to align with local regulations and target crypto exchanges, software wallets, and hardware wallets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s move reflects increasing scrutiny of crypto promotions worldwide as regulators aim to protect consumers in the volatile digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s updated policy<\/a> now mandates Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration for advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK. These ads will only be allowed if advertisers meet all local regulatory requirements and secure Google certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, Google will allow ads for hardware wallets designed to store private crypto keys, provided they do not offer services such as buying, selling, or trading digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Advertisers must ensure compliance with UK regulations and obtain Google\u2019s approval before launching campaigns. This policy overhaul comes amid growing efforts by global regulators to combat misleading or unauthorized crypto promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    See Related:<\/em><\/strong> A Year On Out, Credit Suisse's Fallout And Regulatory Challenges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regulatory Scrutiny Globally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The FCA recently warned against a Solana-based project called \u201cRetardio,\u201d highlighting concerns about unauthorized promotions that could leave consumers vulnerable to financial losses, Cointelegraph reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similarly, Nigeria\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission introduced stricter marketing rules for crypto products. Influencers and service providers in Nigeria now require explicit permission from the SEC before promoting digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s decision reflects a broader trend in the financial sector. As the crypto market matures, governments and regulators are pushing for increased oversight to protect consumers. Misleading advertisements have often drawn criticism for downplaying the risks associated with investing in digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Previously, Google updated its crypto advertising policies, but this latest move highlights the growing complexity of compliance in global markets. Advertisers must now navigate a patchwork of local regulations to ensure their campaigns remain legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s updated policies will take effect on January 15, 2025, offering crypto businesses a clear timeline to adapt. As regulators continue to tighten their grip, companies must stay proactive to avoid disruptions in their advertising strategies.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Tightens Crypto Ad Rules, FCA Registration Now Mandatory In UK","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-tightens-crypto-ad-rules-fca-registration-now-mandatory-in-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-29 01:38:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-28 14:38:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=19945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19917,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-12-19 21:51:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-19 10:51:13","post_content":"\n

  • Advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK must register with the FCA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The policy overhaul is part of global regulatory efforts to combat misleading crypto promotions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Starting in January 2025, crypto advertisers in the United Kingdom will face stricter rules as Google updates its advertising policies. The new requirements are designed to align with local regulations and target crypto exchanges, software wallets, and hardware wallets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s move reflects increasing scrutiny of crypto promotions worldwide as regulators aim to protect consumers in the volatile digital asset market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s updated policy<\/a> now mandates Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration for advertisers promoting crypto exchanges or software wallets in the UK. These ads will only be allowed if advertisers meet all local regulatory requirements and secure Google certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, Google will allow ads for hardware wallets designed to store private crypto keys, provided they do not offer services such as buying, selling, or trading digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Advertisers must ensure compliance with UK regulations and obtain Google\u2019s approval before launching campaigns. This policy overhaul comes amid growing efforts by global regulators to combat misleading or unauthorized crypto promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The FCA recently warned against a Solana-based project called \u201cRetardio,\u201d highlighting concerns about unauthorized promotions that could leave consumers vulnerable to financial losses, Cointelegraph reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similarly, Nigeria\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission introduced stricter marketing rules for crypto products. Influencers and service providers in Nigeria now require explicit permission from the SEC before promoting digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s decision reflects a broader trend in the financial sector. As the crypto market matures, governments and regulators are pushing for increased oversight to protect consumers. Misleading advertisements have often drawn criticism for downplaying the risks associated with investing in digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Previously, Google updated its crypto advertising policies, but this latest move highlights the growing complexity of compliance in global markets. Advertisers must now navigate a patchwork of local regulations to ensure their campaigns remain legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google\u2019s updated policies will take effect on January 15, 2025, offering crypto businesses a clear timeline to adapt. As regulators continue to tighten their grip, companies must stay proactive to avoid disruptions in their advertising strategies.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Google Tightens Crypto Ad Rules, FCA Registration Now Mandatory In UK","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"google-tightens-crypto-ad-rules-fca-registration-now-mandatory-in-uk","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-29 01:38:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-28 14:38:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=19945","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19917,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-12-19 21:51:13","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-19 10:51:13","post_content":"\n
