Google has been making headlines recently for a variety of reasons. The tech giant unveiled its Gemini AI model, aimed at providing real-time scam alerts during phone calls, but raising concerns about privacy as it requires listening to conversations. Additionally, Google faced a lawsuit from Rumble over lost ad revenue, potentially costing the company over $1 billion in damages. The Court of Appeal also granted an injunction holding platforms accountable for hosting copyrighted material, posing legal risks for global internet companies. Furthermore, Google's annual developer conference is set to begin, promising new innovations and updates.
