Gemini can now help with your schedule right in Gmail on your phone
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority
TL;DR Google added Gemini features on Gmail's web interface that allowed for some calendar management capabilities late last year.
The mobile Gmail app can now use Gemini for creating, deleting, or editing Calendar events, and give users a daily schedule summary.
This feature is available for Google Workspace users on both Android and iOS, with a gradual rollout beginning May 19.
While email is quite an older form of communication compared to other more modern methods, it's still one of the most important and accessible options for many. And a lot of people use Google's Gmail, or Google Workspace email accounts. Email is a great way to communicate with people to get meetings set up, but then what about adding those meetings to your calendar? Well, now Gemini in Gmail can take care of all of that for you.
Google is announcing new calendar management features with Gemini coming to the Gmail mobile app on Android and iOS. This comes several months after Google originally rolled out Gemini into Gmail on the web with calendar management features. So now those who use the Gmail app on their smartphone can also make use of Gemini for calendar-related tasks.
The calendar integration with Gemini in Gmail can be used to create a new event, delete an existing event, or edit an event on your calendar. The event information can be edited in Gmail without leaving the app. But if you tap the event, then it opens up the Calendar app. Gemini can even give users a recap of the daily schedule.

It feels like just the basics, but it's pretty much all you need when it comes to calendar management when you're in the Gmail app. The expansion of these Gemini features in Gmail mobile is to help make it easier to create or manage calendar events without having to switch between apps, regardless of platform.
This feature is available for all Google Workspace users, those who are on Google One AI Premium, or those who have Gemini Education accounts. It's in a gradual rollout phase beginning May 19, and can take up to 15 days for it to show up for eligible users. Google Calendar with Gemini in Gmail is available in 28 languages.
Once the feature is available to you, it's very easy to access. Just open the Gmail app on your phone, and then select the 'Ask Gemini' icon.

Teaching AI isn't enough—we need to teach wisdom, too
Artificial intelligence is shaking the intellectual, emotional, and economic foundations of the world. A glance at mainstream or social media confirms that the world ahead will look nothing like the one we're leaving behind. Technological disruption is nothing new. From bronze smelting in Benin and steel forging in Japan to Themistocles's naval buildup in ancient Greece, history shows that transformative technologies spark societal shifts and national urgency. Today's urgency is AI. The White House's recent executive order (EO) on AI education echoes past anxieties—this time, about China's rapid advancement. You may have missed this EO amid the recent flood of them. But it's a pivotal moment. Though well-intentioned, the EO lacks the depth needed for a truly informed AI educational policy. The EO defines its mission as providing 'opportunities to cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to use and create the next generation of AI technology.' It outlines three imperatives: 'Expose our students to AI at an early age.' Train teachers to 'effectively incorporate AI into their teaching methods.' Promote AI literacy to 'develop an AI-ready workforce.' These steps are necessary. AI is a profound shift, one that exposes long-standing deficiencies in our educational system—particularly our neglect of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Still, the EO falls short in three key areas. Speaking as president and CEO of the Center of Science and Industry, a board member of the National Academies, and a lifelong STEM advocate, I say this: You cannot teach AI without also teaching critical thinking, ethics, and wisdom. Our national conversation must expand beyond technical training. As AI (and eventually artificial general intelligence) integrates into every part of life, we face a stark choice: Do we become passive consumers of knowledge, or do we intentionally cultivate wisdom? Technical proficiency alone turns us into carbon versions of AI. Instead, we need a cultural shift—one that champions critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and curiosity in classrooms, workplaces, and homes. The goal isn't just to understand AI, but to navigate the world it creates. Techno-optimism must be balanced with rigorous intellectual and moral interrogation—or the 'doomers' may be right. Though the EO doesn't address the human-AI relationship, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt—it's not a full policy, but a starting point. I hope future policy goes further, confronting AI's risks and outlining how education and society should respond—both philosophically and practically. For what it's worth, my ideal AI curriculum would include more than practical skills. It would explore: Martin Heidegger's insights on how technology shapes experience Nick Bostrom's ' paper clip ' thought experiment Shoshana Zuboff's critique of surveillance capitalism Soon, AI won't need to be taught—it will be omnipresent. In the 1990s, we trained students to use a mouse and browse the web. But intuitive design soon made that obsolete. The same is happening with AI—only faster. Rather than focus on today's tools, AI education should teach how to understand technology's evolution. Computer scientist Alan Kay once said, 'Technology is anything that was invented after you were born.' Maintaining global leadership requires more than technical prowess—it demands cultural vision. After Sputnik, America feared falling behind in the space race. In the 1990s, it was Japan. Now, it's China. But the true question is: Which nation will use AI to become the better society? French philosopher and diplomat Alexis de Tocqueville once said, 'America is great because it is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.' That quote echoes as I reflect on the EO and our future. To lead in AI, we must prioritize wisdom over raw intelligence. That greatness won't come from executive orders—but from the strength of our social order.

LQpay's enhanced surcharging platform offers a powerful, compliant way for practices to offset these expenses without disrupting workflows or compromising the patient experience.

Google Confirms Urgent Security Update For 3 Billion Chrome Users
Update Google Chrome now. Photothek via Getty Images Google has confirmed two new and high-severity security vulnerabilities impacting the Chrome web browser, which is used by more than 3 billion people worldwide. As such, the technology behemoth has issued an update that all users across Windows, Linux, Mac and Android should activate as a matter of some urgency. Given that one of the issues was only discovered on June 6 and an update is available already, that urgency should not be overlooked. Here's what you need to know and do. Although, as is usually the case with such high-severity security issues, Google is keeping the full technical details restricted until such a time as most users have been able to apply the update, we do know that the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures are as follows: CVE-2025-5958 is a use-after-free vulnerability that impacts media and was disclosed by Huang Xilin of the Ant Group Light-Year Security Lab. CVE-2025-5959 is a type confusion in Chrome's V8 javascript rendering engine and was disclosed by Seunghyun Lee during the TyphoonPWN 2025 hacking competition on June 6. Google has confirmed that the Chrome security update 'will roll out over the coming days/weeks,' and that this will happen automatically. You will see a notification on your browser itself when the update to version 137.0.7151.103/.104 has been downloaded and applied. However, this will still not mean that you are protected, as you will need to activate the update in order for it to take effect. I would always err on the side of caution and advise kickstarting the updating process so you can be sure your browser and the data it can access are appropriately protected immediately. Head for the Help menu and select About Google Chrome. This will check for and download the update, and then all you have to do is activate it for instant security from these vulnerabilities. Don't worry, your tabs will reopen as well, so you won't lose them. So, what are you waiting for? Android users simply need to update the Chrome app.
