A Google Search executive said one of the company’s biggest opportunities in AI lies in its ability to know users better and personalize their responses. AI promises to be uniquely helpful because it knows you. But the risk is that AI feels more like surveillance than a service. On a recent episode of the Limitless podcast, Robbie Stein, vice president of product for Google Search, explained that Google’s AI tends to process more queries that ask for advice or where users are looking for recommendations, and that these types of questions are likely to benefit from more subjective responses. “We…
Amidst the spate of big artificial intelligence deals this year with billions of dollars worth of change, Nvidia’s announcement Monday of a $2 billion investment to expand its long-standing partnership with Synopsys may seem like just another increment.

Zoey Deutch has a new term to describe her relationship with fiancé Jimmy Tatro. The No. 2 Juror actress revealed she doesn’t like the word “fiancée” and instead decided to use hilariously similar names to describe her engagement. “‘Fiancée’ is a very strange word,” Deutch, 31, said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Nov. 26. “It feels a bit exaggerated. It’s like ‘my fiancé,’ so for some reason I call it ‘Beyoncé.'” As for how her future husband feels about the name exchange, she admitted: “I don’t know what he thinks, but whatever.” She also…
In a carefully worded announcement, Apple said Monday that John Gianandrea, who has served as the company’s head of AI since 2018, is “resigning” to no longer work at Apple. He will remain as an advisor until the spring. He will be replaced by Amar Subramanya, a highly regarded Microsoft executive who spent 16 years at Google and most recently led the engineering of Gemini Assistant.

Nvidia’s CEO says Broadcom’s custom chips are not a threat to Nvidia. Broadcom’s application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), also known as custom chips, are rapidly gaining popularity among hyperscalers such as Alphabet’s Google. This important partnership led to the successful launch of Google’s Gemini 3. The latest version of the AI model was trained on a Google chip known as a tensor processing unit (TPU), which was co-designed with Broadcom. But according to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, there’s nothing to worry about, as the company’s stock has been under pressure since Gemini 3 launched late last month. Nvidia’s general-purpose graphics processing…
