AI tech is scanning the bodies, faces and even voices of some of Hollywood’s biggest actors to create digital doubles that can be transformed, de-aged, and even act in their stead. CAA, which represents actors like Tom Hanks and Zendaya, is embracing the tech that can clone their talent. WSJ takes an exclusive look at the technology behind one of the most controversial flashpoints in Hollywood, and why the industry’s top talent agency is going all in on AI.

With the holiday shipping season in high gear, the concern of lost or stolen packages is of top concern. CBS News’ Janet Shamlian went inside UPS World Headquarters to see how the company is using artificial intelligence to combat package thefts.

Investor Cathie Wood explores this unique moment in technology, which she sees as being marked by the simultaneous evolution of five pivotal innovation platforms — a scenario unparalleled in history. Exploring the role of AI in reshaping economic paradigms, she predicts a surge in global GDP growth and productivity, underscoring the need for businesses and investors to adapt in order to keep up.

Marques and David discuss the new Google Gemini model.

“The world’s most important advanced technology is nearly all produced in a single facility,” says AI expert Rob Toews. He describes how one company in Taiwan, TSMC, manufactures nearly all the most advanced semiconductor chips — a crucial technology that powers everything from phones to electric vehicles to next-generation artificial intelligence — and breaks down how geopolitical tensions in the region could paralyze the global field of AI.

Witness a mind-blowing fusion of science and engineering as Mark Rober and Bard collaborate to craft a paper plane that’ll soar to uncharted territories of aerodynamics. Yes, if you’re wondering, Bard wrote this description.

Google has taken the wraps off from its new AI model, Gemini. This model is designed to behave in human-like ways, better that what other models can achieve. Gemini is a new artificial intelligence model that outperforms other models in tasks like understanding, summarising, reasoning, coding, and planning. It comes in three versions: Pro, Ultra, and Nano. The Pro version is already available, and the Ultra version will be released early next year. Gemini is a large language model (LLM) developed by Google’s DeepMind division. It’s designed to compete with other AI systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and possibly outperform them.

Key Features of Gemini

Multimodal Capabilities Gemini is designed from the ground up to be multimodal, integrating text, images, and other data types. This could allow for more natural conversational abilities. Google showcased the abilities of the AI by conversing with it with the help of a direct video interaction, showing it different objects in real time. Gemini is expected to have a significant impact on the AI industry. It’s Google’s most powerful AI model yet and outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4. It powers applications and devices like the Bard chatbot and Pixel 8 Pro. Google claims it is one of the first models that has been built as multi-modal LLM from the ground up. That should make interaction more natural and “human-like”.

Rene Haas, the CEO of Arm Holdings, says the firm is positioned to be as essential to the generative Artificial Intelligence revolution as it has been to smartphones, where its semiconductors are ubiquitous. “AI is going to find its way into every single electronics device that we use, whether it’s the smallest device in your home or the largest data center that sits out in the wild,” Haas told Bloomberg’s Tom Mackenzie. “Arm will be foundational to everything going on with AI.”
