From Bard to Gemini: Google's Next-Gen AI Leap Forward

This bonus episode of the "Generation AI" podcast dives into Google's latest AI development, focusing on the rebranding of its chatbot Bard to Gemini and the release of the new model, Gemini Ultra. The hosts discuss the transition from Bard to Gemini, emphasizing its multimodal capabilities (handling text, image, voice, and video inputs and outputs) and the introduction of advanced features like complex task handling and logical reasoning. Google's move to include a paid AI model, Gemini Advanced, with a subscription to Google One AI premium, marks a significant step in competing with GPT-4. Additionally, Gemini's integration into Google's ecosystem, such as Workspace, and its potential to enhance search capabilities are highlighted. The episode provides insights into the implications of these developments for the higher education sector and the broader AI landscape.
