AI assistants from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are getting super-smart super fast. New models, agentic features, and new tools now drop on a weekly basis, making AI chatbots more capable and more helpful.

For likely the first time ever, security researchers have shown how AI can be hacked to create real world havoc, allowing them to turn off lights, open smart shutters, and more.

Starting Sept. 2, files, photos, videos, and screens you share with Gemini could be used to improve Google’s services, including its AI models.

To nobody’s surprise, there’s a new Tensor G5 chip, with a 35% faster CPU, powering everything. The Pixel 10 comes with 12GB of RAM standard and two storage options (128GB and 256GB). And for the first time on any Pixel phone, there’s built-in Satellite SOS, which works more or less the same as it does on newer iPhones.

Google is rolling out an update for Gemini that will allow the AI chatbot to “remember” your past conversations without prompting. With the setting turned on, Gemini will automatically recall your “key details and preferences” and use them to personalize its output.

Google released its first publicly available "multi-agent" AI system, which uses more computational resources, but produces better answers.

The Pixel Watch 4 debuts refined hardware and Wear OS 6, but also a Gemini-powered Personal AI Coach and redesigned Fitbit app.

Google's autonomous AI assistant Gemini Live gets improved speech understanding and more access to services such as Maps.
