Google's Gemini adds Personal Intelligence to weave your apps into smarter, more personal AI

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence, a beta Gemini feature that lets you connect Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search to tailor AI responses using your own data. You can enable or disable the feature, choose which apps to connect, and disconnect anytime. It aims to provide more context-aware, personalized guidance (e.g., pulling tire specs or license plate details from your data) but Google warns of possible inaccuracies or over-personalization and seeks user feedback. The rollout is in the US for eligible subscribers.

Anthropic's Model Context Protocol Revolutionizes AI-Data Integration

Anthropic has launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source tool designed to connect AI systems directly to various datasets, enhancing their performance by providing a universal connection to data sources. This tool simplifies the integration process for developers, allowing them to connect AI models to multiple data sources using a standard protocol, rather than creating custom code for each dataset. MCP is already being utilized by coding platforms like Replit and Codeium, and aims to streamline AI system connectivity as the industry moves towards more agentic AI solutions.

The Rise of Generative AI: Transforming Businesses and Content Creation

The Rise of Generative AI: Transforming Businesses and Content Creation

Generative AI is set to revolutionize enterprise applications, leading to a shift from "system of record" to "system of engagement" applications. The first wave of generative AI applications has already emerged, but they often lack enduring value due to limited workflow or functionality. The second wave will integrate structured and unstructured data from system-of-record and system-of-engagement applications. The third wave will create a "system of intelligence" layer, leveraging generative AI to enhance product experiences through deep integration, data characterization, and feedback loops. These system-of-intelligence products will provide enduring value and face competition from incumbents. The transformation of the AI space is accelerating, and it's up to founders to build enduring products that will have an extraordinary impact on enterprises.

Controversial U.S. firm Palantir secures lucrative NHS data contract

Palantir, the software company founded by Peter Thiel, has won a £330 million contract with England's National Health Service (N.H.S.) to build a new platform called the Federated Data Platform. The system aims to integrate data from across the N.H.S. into a central repository, making it easier to share patient information and analyze health trends. Despite criticism from activists, doctors, and lawmakers regarding privacy concerns and Palantir's military-related work, the N.H.S. awarded the controversial contract to the company. Palantir's aggressive lobbying tactics and questions about the technology's effectiveness have also raised concerns. The contract does not cover Scotland or Wales.

Navigating the Impact of Generative AI on Business and Society.

Generative AI will revolutionize how we interact with software, enabling personalization and simplification of digital interactions. It will also facilitate the creation of new applications and partnerships, leading to a broader ecosystem of business relationships. However, companies must prioritize safety, fairness, privacy, security, and transparency in managing data and the outcomes of generative AI. The risks will multiply, but the potential for democratization of access to new and existing applications will pull in many established brands into creating new AI-forward offerings.
