Gadgets & Gizmos: The latest wonders of AI and an e-scooter the size of a briefcase
Steve Caplin delves into the latest AI developments. Google's Gemini AI can work with text, audio, images, video or even hand-drawn pictures. The forthcoming TV news Channel1 has AI presenters and reporters and will use "trusted news sources". Steve demonstrated how it translates on the fly. Amazon, meanwhile is to invest $4bn in a startup to generate a chatbot called "Claude". Most impressive – and potentially scary – is BrainGPT which converts thoughts into text. There's a crowdfunded e-scooter which folds down to the size of a briefcase while a Dutch shipbuilder has come up with an e-vessel to support offshore wind farms that can recharge from the turbines it is servicing.
