Google Unveils Gemini 3, Boosting Multimodal Reasoning and Agentic AI

Google has launched Gemini 3, the newest generation of its AI model, bringing notable upgrades in reasoning, accuracy, and multimodal understanding. The update powers the Gemini app, AI Mode in Google Search, NotebookLM, and developer platforms, and introduces generative interfaces that can produce magazine‑style layouts, dynamic interactive views, and an experimental Agent mode for task automation.

Google’s Gemini App Now Detects AI‑Generated Images Using SynthID Watermark

Google has added a feature to its Gemini mobile app that lets users upload an image and ask whether it was created by Google AI. The tool relies on SynthID, an invisible watermark applied to AI‑generated images since 2023, and also displays a visible Gemini sparkle watermark on images from the free and Google AI Pro tiers. Users can simply type a query like “was this image generated by Google AI?” and receive a response based on the watermark detection and Gemini’s reasoning. The system does not detect non‑Google AI images, which lack the SynthID mark, but can still offer visual‑clue estimates. Google says the feature is a step toward clearer identification of AI‑created content.

OpenAI’s Sora App Floods the Web with Low‑Quality AI‑Generated Videos

OpenAI’s newly launched Sora video platform is being populated with a flood of AI‑generated clips that mix nostalgic imagery, celebrity deepfakes and formulaic jokes. Critics argue the content is shallow, repetitive and often offensive, serving more as a showcase for the technology than as genuine entertainment. The platform’s ease of use encourages users to create viral‑style videos without artistic depth, raising questions about the future direction of generative AI and its impact on culture.

Google says the rollout follows extensive safety testing and will comply with industry distraction guidelines.

OpenAI Launches Global ChatGPT Group Chat Feature

OpenAI has rolled out a new group chat capability for ChatGPT worldwide, allowing up to twenty participants to collaborate with the AI in the same conversation. The feature, available through the web interface and the ChatGPT app, introduces tools and privacy controls that keep group discussions separate from private chats and prevent personal memory from crossing over. Users can set profile details, tag the AI when needed, and benefit from safeguards for younger users. The AI acts as a neutral assistant, stepping in only when called upon, and supports emojis, images, and personalized responses.

AI App 2wai Offers Digital Immortality, Sparks Ethical Debate

2wai, an AI-driven platform co‑founded by former Disney Channel star Calum Worthy and Russell Geyser, lets users create lifelike digital avatars of themselves or others from a short video. The app markets the service as a "living archive of humanity," allowing interactions with recreated loved ones, historical figures, and personal chatbots. A promotional video featuring a synthetic grandmother sparked strong public reaction, with many drawing Black Mirror comparisons and raising concerns about privacy, consent, and the impact on grieving. While the technology promises new ways to preserve memory, critics warn of ethical and commercial pitfalls.
