Google Expands Gemini AI and AI Search with Image Tools, Ads, and Youth Access

In this episode, we unpack Google’s recent updates to its Gemini AI and AI Search ecosystem, including new image editing features, multilingual support for NotebookLM, and the removal of the AI Mode waitlist. We explore the implications of opening access to users under 13, the introduction of ads within chatbot responses, and broader safety debates around AI reliability. With Google I/O 2025 on the horizon, we preview expected announcements around personalization, productivity, and deeper Gemini integration across Google's platforms. These shifts underscore Google’s strategy to make Gemini a central part of daily digital life alongside Amazon and OpenAI’s offerings.
