Alphabet's Google said on Wednesday it introduced generative artificial intelligence to its Search tool for users in India and Japan that will show text or visual results to prompts, including summaries. The feature, which was first launched only in the United States, was rolled out this week in the two countries, and users will have the choice to opt in for it. Japanese users will be able to use the feature in their local languages, while it will be available in English and Hindi in India. Google's search feature is meant to be used for seeking information, such as locating something to purchase.

LONDON: As recently as February, generative AI did not feature prominently in EU lawmakers ' plans for regulating artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGPT. The bloc's 108-page proposal for the AI Act, published two years earlier, included only one mention of the word "chatbot." References to AI-generated content largely referred to deepfakes: images or audio designed to impersonate human beings. By mid-April, however, members of European Parliament (MEPs) were racing to update those rules to catch up with an explosion of interest in generative AI, which has provoked awe and anxiety since OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT six months ago.

Member of the EU Parliament (MEP) Dragos Tudorache, the co-rapporteur for the EU’s AI Act, told Tech Crunch, “This is the last thing still standing in the negotiation.

Alphabet Inc's Google plans to introduce generative artificial intelligence into its advertising Business over the coming months to create "novel" advertisements, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing an internal presentation. Generative AI is a type of Technology that relies on past data to create rather than identify content. Last month, Google began the public release of its chatbot Bard, seeking users and feedback to gain ground on Microsoft Corp in the race to top the market for AI Technology . Per the presentation, advertisers can supply "creative" content such as imagery, video and text relating to a particular ad campaign, and the AI will then mix this material to generate ads based on the target audience, along with sales targets, the report said. While there have been concerns about the wider impact of AI on issues like disinformation, phishing attempts and cybercrime, Google plans to put in guardrails to...
