It's never too late in the year for a huge tech announcement, it seems. While most tech companies were hunkering down in preparation for CES 2024 next month, Google decided to make its biggest announcement of the year this week with Gemini, its most powerful AI brain so far.
Gemini is a nebulous, shape-shifting beast that's both in some existing products – like Google Bard and the Pixel 8 Pro – and a futuristic concept that shows where Google's AI is headed. Sure, the demo video may have been somewhat staged, with Gemini not yet capable of real-time conversation, but it's still a landmark moment for Google and AI.
