Google has announced its next generation of AI technology, Gemini 2.0, designed to enhance human-like task performance, including image interpretation and online searches. CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized its advanced capabilities, positioning it against rivals like OpenAI and Microsoft. This development occurs amid ongoing antitrust scrutiny, with the US Justice Department pushing for a breakup of the company due to monopoly concerns. Google plans wider releases of Gemini in its various products next year, despite regulatory challenges.
