Google and OpenAI show how video can be used to transform conversational AI chat.
The day before Google I/O, Google has posted a tweet showing in action a prototype of a conversational version of its AI Gemini chatbot that uses video input instead of text. Recorded while the crew was busy getting the stage ready for tomorrow’s event, Gemini is asked, « What do you think is happening here? » Quite impressively, Gemini responds, « It looks like people are setting up for a large event, perhaps a conference or a presentation. »
Gemini then asks if there is something in particular that caught the user’s eye. He responds by saying, « Yeah, those big pretty letters on screen. What do those mean? » The response from the AI chatbot, « Those letters represent Google I/O, a developer conference held by Google. Have you ever attended Google I/O? » The user responds, « No. This is my first one. What’s something you’d be really excited to hear? » Gemini answers, « I am always excited to learn about new advancements in artificial intelligence and how they can help people in their daily lives.
