Hello, AI Enthusiasts.
Fresh off the weekend—let’s dive into another week of AI breakthroughs!
Google is rolling out two major upgrades for Gemini Live, enabling it to process live video and interact with your screen in real time.
AI is also making waves in academia, with smarter databases that enhance search precision and summarize key research, helping scholars cut through the noise faster than ever.
And in the creative space, the rise of AI-generated art has divided artists—some view it as a collaborative tool, while others worry about the implications for authenticity and ethics.
That’s enough AI for one day… or is it?
Here's another crazy day in AI:
Screen Sharing and Live Video coming to Gemini
New AI tools help researchers summarize and discover studies faster
AI is gaining acceptance among artists, especially for early ideation
Some AI tools to try out

What if your AI assistant could see what you see and help you in real time?
Google is adding two new features to Gemini Live—live video and screen sharing—designed to make interactions more dynamic. Announced at Mobile World Congress (MWC), these updates will roll out later this month, but only for Gemini Advanced subscribers. Ryan McNeal from Android Authority dives into the details of these new features.
What’s coming to Gemini Live?
Live video assistance – Point your camera at something, and Gemini can analyze it in real time.
Screen sharing support – Share your screen with Gemini and get help with what’s on display.
Limited access for now – These features will first be available to Gemini Advanced users through the Google One AI Premium plan.
These updates could make AI feel more interactive, but how well they perform in real-world situations is another question. Google’s demo highlights Gemini helping a ceramicist choose a glaze and offering outfit ideas based on an image. While these examples show off the technology’s potential, real-life scenarios are rarely that controlled. Factors like lighting, angles, and object recognition could all impact how effectively Gemini understands what it sees. Even Google acknowledges that results may vary.
There’s also the question of accessibility. Right now, these features are locked behind a subscription, which limits who gets to try them out. Google has a pattern of introducing AI tools to paid users first and gradually expanding access, so it’s possible that live video and screen sharing will follow a similar path. Whether or not they become widely available, they mark a step toward AI that engages with the world in a more direct and visual way. The real test will be how well it adapts to everyday use and whether it becomes a genuinely helpful tool—or just another tech demo with promise.

Academic research is evolving as AI-powered tools like Scopus AI help faculty and students refine search results and summarize articles more efficiently. These AI-driven databases scan massive collections of academic papers, generate concise summaries, and highlight key researchers in a given field, making the research process more accessible. While some, like Billie Peterson-Lugo, praise AI’s ability to streamline discovery, others remain skeptical about its accuracy and reliability. As AI tools improve, they are expected to play an even greater role in research workflows.

Despite ongoing legal battles over AI’s use of copyrighted works, many artists and designers are finding ways to incorporate AI into their workflows. Some, like Nicola Hamilton of the Association of Registered Graphic Designers, say AI boosts efficiency in brainstorming and design tasks. Others, like digital artist Elise Swopes, use AI tools to save time on tedious edits and enhance their creative process. While skepticism remains in industries like branding and entertainment, platforms like Fiverr are exploring AI models that let artists control their own digital styles.
