Google's AI Dominates Headlines at I/O Conference

Google launched a range of new AI products at its annual I/O developer conference, including a code-generating AI and an AI music generator. However, the limitations and shortcomings of even the best AI technologies were exposed, with Google's newest large language model, PaLM 2, responding to questions in toxic and biased ways. Other notable AI news includes Meta's generative AI for ads, Anthropic's "constitutional AI" training technique, and the EU's new rules for generative AI. Additionally, new AI research centers are popping up with federal funding, including those investigating social science, climate change, and agriculture.
