Google's Gemini Makes Gmail on Android Smarter

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Discover how Google's new Gmail Q&A feature on Android, powered by Gemini AI, can revolutionize your email search and productivity.

2. Explore the landmark collaboration between OpenAI, Anthropic, and the U.S. government for AI safety testing and what it means for future regulations.

In this episode of The AI Briefing, we talk about Google’s exciting introduction of Gmail Q&A on Android devices. This new feature, using the Gemini AI model, enhances email search functionality by enabling users to ask questions directly in their Gmail app. From effortlessly finding specific email details to summarizing threads and pinpointing unread messages, the new tool aims to boost user productivity. Currently exclusive to certain Google One AI Premium subscribers, the feature is beginning to roll out to Android users, with iOS support anticipated soon.

Additionally, we discuss a significant development in AI safety. OpenAI and Anthropic have entered agreements with the U.S. government, sharing their AI models with the U.S. AI Safety Institute for pre-and post-release testing. This collaboration seeks to advance AI safety science and mitigate risks while aligning with the Biden administration's executive order on AI. We also touch on how this voluntary regulatory approach differs from stricter EU policies.
