Hackers are using the Gemini chatbot for coding, to identify attack points, and for creating fake information, Google said.
State-sponsored hackers from countries like Iran, China, and North Korea are increasingly using Gemini chatbot for cyberattacks, according to Google report.
The Chinese app has already hit the chipmaker giant Nvidia’s share price, but its true potential could upend the whole AI business model.
Google has quietly announced Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, a flagship model, in a changelog for the company's Gemini chatbot app.
The United States may have kicked off the A.I. arms race, but a Chinese app is now shaking it up. R1, a chatbot from the startup DeepSeek, is sitting pretty at the top of the Apple and Google app stores,
Hacking units from Iran abused Gemini the most, but North Korean and Chinese groups also tried their luck. None made any 'breakthroughs' and mostly used Gemini for mundane tasks.
The startup DeepSeek was founded in 2023 in Hangzhou, China and released its first AI large language model later that year. Its CEO Liang Wenfeng previously co-founded one of China’s top hedge funds, High-Flyer, which focuses on AI-driven quantitative trading.
DeepSeek received an order to stop serving its AI chatbot's users in Italy, after failing to assuage concerns over its privacy policies.
Google is improving its Gemini assistant with its new 2.0. Flash model. The chatbot is also getting better image generation capabilities powered by Google's latest Imagen 3 model.
Asked about sensitive topics, the bot would begin to answer, then stop and delete its own work. It refused to answer questions like: “Who is Xi Jinping?”
Character AI has filed a motion to dismiss a case brought against it by the parent of a teen who committed suicide allegedly after becoming hooked on the company's technology.
DeepSeek researchers claim it was developed for less than $6 million, a contrast to the $100 million it takes U.S. tech startups to create AI.
