Bible Verses of the Day
6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. [Revelation 19:6-8 ESV]

In an Imperial College London study, humans displayed sympathy towards and protected AI bots who were excluded from playtime. The researchers say the study, which used a virtual ball game, highlights humans' tendency to treat AI agents as social beings -- an inclination that should be considered when designing AI bots.
The study is published in Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies. Lead author Jianan Zhou, from Imperial's Dyson School of Design Engineering, said: "This is a unique insight into how humans interact with AI, with exciting implications for their design and our psychology."

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced a series of structural changes and leadership appointments aimed at accelerating the company’s AI initiatives. The restructuring sees the Gemini app team, led by Sissie Hsiao, joining Google DeepMind under the leadership of Demis Hassabis.
“Bringing the teams closer together will improve feedback loops, enable fast deployment of our new models in the Gemini app, make our post-training work proceed more efficiently and build on our great product momentum,” Pichai explained.
Additionally, the Assistant teams focusing on devices and home experiences will be integrated into the Platforms & Devices division. This reorganisation aims to align these teams more closely with the product surfaces they are developing for and consolidate AI smart home initiatives at Google under one umbrella.
