Bible Verses of the Day
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God. [John 3:19-21, ESV]

The countdown is on for Euro 2024, the international football championship organized by UEFA every four years.
For the Football Association (FA) — England's governing football body — the tournament is the culmination of years of strategic planning and research. While England Manager Gareth Southgate and his team will be focussed on bringing the trophy home this summer, The FA is also thinking about how best to unearth the future stars of the England team. And they’ve turned to Google Cloud technology to help.
The FA and Google Cloud are collaborating to add a new dimension to talent identification through generative AI. Using Vertex AI, our machine learning platform, The FA's historical scouting reports are now being transformed into concise summaries to condense the wisdom gathered over the years.

Among Google’s swath of new AI models and tools announced today, the company is also expanding its AI content watermarking and detection technology to work across two new mediums.
Google’s DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, took the stage for the first time at the Google I/O developer conference on Tuesday to talk not only about the team’s new AI tools, like the Veo video generator, but also about the new upgraded SynthID watermark imprinting system. It can now mark video that was digitally generated as well as AI-generated text.
Watermarking AI-generated content will matter increasingly as the technology gains prevalence, especially when AI gets used for malicious purposes. It’s already been used to spread political misinformation, claim someone said something they haven’t, and create nonconsensual sexual content.
