Bill Gates Champions AI as a Game-Changer in New Documentary

Bill Gates is confident AI will be pivotal in addressing major global issues, such as improving healthcare, combating climate change, and bridging educational gaps. In his recent interview, Gates acknowledged the risks of disinformation and energy consumption. However, he believes that the advantages of AI—especially in driving scientific discoveries and solving real-world problems—far outweigh the concerns, provided it's developed and used responsibly. Stay tuned on September 18th for his AI focused Netflix documentary ‘What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates’ (watch trailer).

Meet Google Photos’ New AI Helper, Ask Photos

Google is rolling out ‘Ask Photos’, a groundbreaking AI-powered feature that lets users search their photos with more advanced, natural language queries. Powered by Gemini AI, this tool can go beyond basic searches for people or places, enabling users to ask more detailed questions like “What did we eat at the hotel in Stanley?”. The AI considers factors like lighting and location, making photo discovery smarter and more intuitive. Currently available in early access for select U.S. users, Ask Photos will soon redefine how we organize, retrieve, and engage with our memories (see Google’s announcement).

With 22,000 people already on the waiting list, Neko Health is responding to the growing demand for preventative care, offering a proactive alternative to traditional, treatment-focused systems (join waitlist).
