3 June 2025 17:53 LONDON (AFP)Artificial intelligence pioneer and head of Google's Deepmind, Demis Hassabis on Monday said that greater international cooperation around AI regulation was needed but "difficult" to achieve "in today's geopolitical context".At a time when AI is being integrated across all industries, its uses have raised major ethical questions, from the spread of misinformation to its impact on employment, or the loss of technological London's South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on Monday, Hassabis, who has won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on AI, also addressed the challenges that artificial general intelligence (AGI) -- a technology that could match and even surpass human capability -- would bring. "The most important thing is it's got to be some form of international cooperation because the technology is across all borders. It's going to get applied to all countries," Hassabis said. "Many, many countries are involved in researching or building data centres or hosting these technologies. So I think for anything to be meaningful, there has to be some sort of international cooperation or collaboration and unfortunately that's looking quite difficult in today's geopolitical context," he Paris's AI summit in February, 58 countries -- including China, France, India, the European Union and the African Union Commission -- called for enhanced coordination on AI the US warned against "excessive regulation", with US Vice President JD Vance saying it could "kill a transformative sector".Alongside the US, the UK refused to sign the summit's appeal for an "open", "inclusive" and "ethical" AI.

With Gemini's native audio support, people can now use Audio Overviews in their preferred language, and more updates will come to the feature based on users' feedback. Audio Overviews are generated in the preferred language of the user's account. This update also introduces a new 'Output Language' option in NotebookLM's settings. People can change the language at any time, making it easy to create multilingual content or study materials as needed. For example, a teacher preparing a lesson on – climate change in the region can share resources in various languages — like an Arabic documentary, an English research paper and Spanish study reports — with students. The students can upload these and can generate an Audio Overview of key insights in their preferred language. This capability breaks down language barriers and makes the information more accessible to everyone.
