Google has introduced a new tool to detect AI-faked celebrities on YouTube by using a database called the CAA Vault that contains digital copies of celebrities’ faces, bodies and voices. Google has also launched an AI video generator, Veo 2, which they claim has better audience scores than OpenAI’s Sora. Additionally, they have debuted a new version of their image generation model Imagen 3 which produces richer, more detailed photos. They have also launched a new feature in NotebookLM which allows users to talk with the AI hosts.

Google has unveiled Gemini 2.0 Flash, a new AI model that is twice as fast as Gemini 1.5 Pro and optimized for speed and multimodal functionality. It supports real-time interaction with video and is designed to be the foundation for future AI agents. Google also released Android XR, a new operating system for virtual and augmented reality devices.

Google’s new quantum chip, Willow, has sparked significant discussion about its potential implications in physics and mathematics, specifically hinting at the possible existence of multiple universes. This claim is based on Willow’s remarkable performance, which some researchers interpret as evidence for parallel realities. The theoretical implications of such findings could revolutionize our fundamental understanding of the universe, challenging existing models and opening new research paths.

Security researchers discovered a critical zero-click vulnerability within Synology’s Photos app, impacting millions of users. This vulnerability allows attackers to compromise the system without any user interaction. The flaw resides in a part of the app that doesn’t require authentication, enabling direct exploitation over the internet. Attackers can gain root access and install malicious code, potentially turning the infected device into a botnet for further nefarious activities. Synology has addressed the bug, but users need to manually update their devices. This incident highlights the importance of regularly updating software to mitigate security risks and the growing threat of zero-click vulnerabilities.
