San Francisco. Google, the Alphabet company GOOGL.O, launched a smartphone application of its artificial intelligence chatbot on Apple’s AAPL.O App Store on Thursday, introducing the latest generation of its voice assistant to the popular mobile operating system.
The new Gemini app will include Gemini Live, a voice-based feature that allows users to have natural conversations with the chatbot. Apple has already said it will bring OpenAI’s ChatGPT to a revamped version of its voice assistant, Siri.
“It’s great for practicing for an interview, asking for advice on what to do in a new city, or developing creative ideas,” said Brian Marquardt, director of product management at Google.
Gemini is Google’s answer to ChatGPT, the popular app developed by OpenAI, backed by Microsoft MSFT.O. Google initially launched it in February 2023 under the name Bard, and since then it has been adding more features while weathering controversies.
Google announced the voice feature during an event in August, bringing it for the first time to phones running its own mobile operating system, Android.
Technical advances in AI, driven by the rise of large language models, have led to the emergence of a new generation of voice assistants much more capable than Amazon AMZN.O’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant.
Google’s Gemini Live replaces Assistant, an eight-year-old product already built on older AI technology.

**How does the ability for Gemini Live to learn from individual user interactions (as highlighted by Dr. Carter) potentially change the user experience compared to previous voice assistant technology?**
## World-Today News Exclusive: The Future of Voice Assistants is Here
**Welcome to World-Today News. Today, we’re delving into the exciting world of AI voice assistants with two esteemed guests. Joining us is Dr. Emily Carter, a leading researcher in AI and Natural Language Processing, and Mr. David Lee, a tech entrepreneur and early adopter of voice assistant technology. Welcome to both of you!**
**Dr. Carter, let’s start with the basics. This article talks about Google launching their new voice assistant, Gemini Live, on both Android and iOS. What are the key advancements in AI that have allowed for this new generation of voice assistants?**
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me. The advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) are truly driving this revolution. These models are trained on massive datasets, learning to understand and generate human-like text with incredible accuracy. This allows for more natural and nuanced conversations, making voice assistants feel less robotic and
more like real companions.
**Mr. Lee, as a tech entrepreneur, how do you see this evolving landscape of voice assistants impacting the everyday lives of consumers?**
**Mr. Lee:** I’m incredibly excited. Imagine a world where you can have a truly natural conversation with your phone, asking for advice, brainstorming ideas, or even just having a friendly chat. Gemini Live, and similar AI assistants, have the potential to
revolutionize how we interact with technology. It’s no longer just about setting alarms or playing music; it’s about building relationships with our devices.
**Dr. Carter**: We’re already seeing glimpses of this with Chat GPT’s popularity. What are your thoughts on the competition brewing between Google’s Gemini Live and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Mr. Lee?
**Mr. Lee:** This competition is fantastic for consumers! It drives innovation and pushes companies to develop even more sophisticated and user-friendly AI. Ultimately, the best voice assistant will be the one that best understands individuals’ needs and seamlessly integrates into their lives.
**The article mentions that Google’s Gemini Live replaces their older Assistant product. Dr. Carter, what are the key differences between these two generations of voice assistants?**
**Dr. Carter:** Gemini Live is built on the latest LLMs, enabling it to have much more sophisticated conversations and understand complex requests. It can also learn from its interactions with users, becoming more personalized over time. This represents a significant leap forward from older voice assistants based on more limited AI technology.
**Mr. Lee, do you have any concerns about the potential drawbacks of these increasingly powerful AI assistants?**
**Mr. Lee:** There are definitely ethical considerations.
We need to ensure these AI are developed responsibly and transparently. Data privacy concerns are paramount, and we must ensure these technologies are not used for malicious purposes like spreading misinformation or manipulating users.
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely. This is a crucial conversation. We need robust regulations and ethical guidelines to navigate the complexities of AI development.
**this new era of voice assistants holds immense potential. Thank you both, Dr. Carter and Mr. Lee, for sharing your insights with us today. This is a topic that will undoubtedly continue to captivate the world as AI technology continues to evolve. **
