You and Leslie Jones will both have Google’s Gemini AI to help explain some of the more obscure events
Google is bringing some artificial intelligence features to your Olympics experience thanks to a deal with NBCUniversal and Team USA. The Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris will employ Google’s Gemini AI models to augment how people watch the events on TV and online.
The most public aspect of the deal will have NBC commentators demonstrating Google Search’s AI Overviews feature during their coverage. They’ll share quick hits and more detailed information about various sports, athletes, and Olympic rules. Google hopes to highlight how AI Overviews can answer questions in a single search (though presumably without the suggestions to eat the discus).
In particular, SNL alumna and NBC’s “chief superfan commentator,” Leslie Jones, will be using Google’s Gemini AI to look into the Games and learn about new sports in real-time.
