Google I/O season will always be a special time on my calendar. When I was at Google’s “Next Billion Users”, I helped contribute to market-specific I/O events called “Google For X” (e.g., Google for Indonesia). This year, I’m incredibly excited about the rapid pace of AI rollouts being introduced. Here are some of the highlights that stood out to me, what they mean for Peek (the app I’m building), and the future of personal finance: 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝘀: Google’s answer to OpenAI’s customGPTs will help you create AI agents; virtual experts you can consult, or employees who can do things for you. Financial institutions employ thousands of specialists and experts. Analysts focused on understanding different industry sectors, specific asset classes, and geographies. Or people dedicated to managing risk, and fund administration. In the same way, we could develop a team of AI agents to manage different aspects of your personal finance. 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲: In the coming months, you can use Gemini agents across your entire product suite for Google Workspace, from calendar to Gmail and more. This is easy for Google to do, since it owns all the different apps, and can let AI agents work across them. At Peek, we’re trying to see how we can use AI agents to retrieve information about your finances across different apps, wallets, brokerages and more. 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 1M to 2M tokens is huge! As the context window increases for AI, that also means more data and information we can feed the models, including entire CFA resources to standard financial advisory training resources. Imagine feeding the entire history of personal finance into an AI model you can use to consult, and support you on your journey! What excites you about the recent AI announcements by Google?

Google has been named as Gobbill's new strategic growth partner. As a Scale tier Artificial Intelligence (AI) first equity backed firm, Google will support Gobbill through Google's Cloud Program. Gobbill is receiving support from Google as it investigates the next stage of its R&D. Over the course of two years, Google will give Gobbill around A$500,000 in AI financial credits, technology, resources, and the community it needs to expand. Gobbill's AI journey began in the middle of 2015 when they used machine learning models to detect fraud and deep learning text-in-the-wild to automate bill payments. Gobbill's early offices were located in The Pond, a co-working environment owned by Silverpond, their AI & Data Science partner. Working with Silverpond and receiving a lot of support from Microsoft has made Gobbill's journey interesting. Over the past eight years, they have jointly investigated use-cases and the potential of AI. Gobbill CEO Shendon Ewans made the following statement regarding the relationship: "We are excited about our new strategic partnership with Google and their support in our next phase of Australian AI research and development."

Our recent survey on the usage of Google Gemini reveals a striking disparity in adoption rates between different regions. In Modesto, only 10% of respondents have used Google Gemini, compared to a remarkable 67% in San Jose. This disparity underscores the ongoing challenge of technology accessibility and the importance of our mission to demystify AI. By sharing practical ways to leverage free tools like Google Gemini, we aim to bridge this gap, enabling everyone to achieve their personal and professional goals. Our goal at yüda is to continue sharing resources and educational content that make AI tools more accessible and comprehensible. By creating an inclusive tech ecosystem, we ensure that all communities, especially overlooked ones, can benefit from the advancements in technology. Together, we can build a future where technology serves as a bridge rather than a barrier.

Very good video by Matthew Berman, well worth watching, with very good comments, which I totally agree with. You should have seen it. Google shows a few really cool tools but not really the big hit. However, you can see where the journey is going. I really liked Google Vids. However, I would have liked to know what the situation is here with copyright, GDPR and competition law and whether Google holds its users harmless. Gemini Code Assist takes DevOps/DevSecOps and CI/CD to a whole new level. Not really new either, but completely integrated "everything" in one platform. For the creative teams, this means that at least two new ideas per day must go live in future. From now on, what counts are fast, new ideas that adapt to the events of the day. There are no limits in terms of the effort (time and costs) required for implementation, only who has the best ideas at the current momentum. Cool! These are completely new times that will completely change the world of work as we know it today in some sectors. I'm curious to see which companies will adapt quickly and which will completely miss out. I can immediately think of at least five sectors for which this means a complete rethink. And incidentally, there are also a few issues here regarding liability if something goes really wrong. Possibly a new field for the insurance industry ... Of course, this is all the first "small" step. But we can foresee what will happen in the next two to three years. For companies, this means the following: Those who don't get on this path as quickly as possible will be hopelessly lost in a few years. The productivity gain with such tools or such pipelines in corporate use (planning, development, analysis, marketing, sales, forecasting, etc.) is so enormous that nothing else can equal it. Companies should think quickly about how they want to remain competitive in the coming years. Not to mention the fact that new entrants or job changers will hardly go to companies that still work like the boomers in the Stone Age of IT. And the shortage of skilled workers makes it (fortunately) possible to be choosy. Now the wheat is being separated from the chaff. Which company moves with the times and which company hopes that the boomers will work until they are 100? Liked this post? Want to see more?

The Asia-Pacific region boasts a thriving #developer community, and it’s always been Google’s goal to equip them with the best tools to work with. #AI is an essential tool for any developer, and it’s also never been more accessible. At this year’s annual #GoogleIO developer conference, we announced several updates for developers including #Gemini 1.5 Flash, a new lightweight model designed for speed and efficiency at scale. Gemini's multi-modal approach empowers developers with the flexibility to choose the best modalities for their specific needs, ensuring maximum versatility. We're also expanding Gemini 1.5 Pro’s context window from 1 million to 2 million tokens — doubling the world’s largest context window. Read more about why this is so exciting here: https://lnkd.in/dZtVhJWU Already, over 1.5 million developers globally leverage Gemini to build real-world solutions. We're also excited to see Gemma embraced by the community with millions of downloads within a few short months of its launch. One example is the India-based team behind Navarasa, who utilized our Gemma model to expand access to 15 Indic languages. With Gemma’s huge vocabulary, they were able to adapt the model so that people from all parts of #India could participate in the possibilities of AI. Our products are empowering developers to cater to the unique needs of the region. Both the impact AI is already having and the progress we've made in simplifying how developers can use it have been extremely encouraging. I’m proud to see how we’re supporting developers across the Asia-Pacific and beyond, and am looking forward to seeing the incredible things they’ll continue to build.

The hefty market selloff reflects a loss of confidence in Google's ability to deliver on its promises and maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. The road ahead It remains to be seen how what Google will do next.  Addressing the technical challenges head-on and transparently communicating with stakeholders should be the first things done.

Earlier today I had the pleasure of sharing some time with Gil Perez Chief Innovation Officer of Deutsche Bank and I wanted to let you in on what I put down as notes after the conversation. 1. Iterate. Iterate again. Iterate again. Progress is a journey - we're all on it. 2. Experiment in small ways. When we approach things with a "this will change everything" perspective we lose sight of the opportunities in THIS moment. 3. Generative AI is a big opportunity that requires engagement across the organization it's essential to engage the business. Can't wait to share more. #google #googlenext #googlenext23 #googlecloudnext #lifeatgoogle #googlecloudconsulting

I've decided to let the new cycle die down before commenting on the Gemini issues. Press decided to turn it into a big issue: "Google Pauses Gemini AI Model After Latest Debacle" - Forbes "Google’s AI problems expose deeper industry dilemma" - Semafor "Google Gemini bias fiasco reminds us that AI is no smarter than we make it" - Yahoo News We have gotten used to expecting big tech to produce finished products. We also gripe about their lack of velocity getting products out. We want to see the product as it's maturing but also complain about the bugs and issues that are uncovered. Imagine the impact on the numerous people that were part of the development team and how we discount their work because we found an example that makes the product look bad. Google is accused of being "woke" by people who really don't understand the underlying technology. This is a bit of a dangerous path that will drive big tech to keep innovation longer behind closed doors, and impact the whole ecosystem starting with startups. In my mind, the value of openness should trump any concern about bias and not reaching 100% fidelity. Question to the crowd: Should Google have pulled Gemini from the market while waiting to tune it OR would it have been better to do a "mea culpa, we're not perfect" and keep iterating over it in the open?
