✍️ Google Tests Its News Writing AI Tool

Google is reportedly testing a product named "Genesis" that utilizes AI technology to create news stories.

The tool can take in information about current events and generate news content.

Google is pitching this tool to news organizations, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and News Corp, but some executives find the concept unsettling.

Google's spokesperson clarified that the A.I. tools are meant to assist journalists rather than replace them, focusing on providing options for headlines and writing styles.

Still, there are concerns that the misuse or spread of misinformation could damage the credibility of news organizations.

💄 Microsoft Adds AI-Powered Beauty Feature to Teams!

Microsoft Teams is introducing an AI-powered beauty feature in collaboration with Maybelline, offering "virtual makeup" filters for video calls.

You will have 12 unique looks to play with at launch, each replicating real-world Maybelline products and shades.

Fingers crossed that they look natural enough to avoid standing out among your colleagues for all the wrong reasons.😃

Microsoft has released a detailed explanation of how to use its new feature.

You can see it here.

Other video conferencing platforms like Zoom already include some limited beauty effects, but the Maybelline Beauty app in Teams provides more options and customization to users.

It rolls out to global Microsoft Teams Enterprise customers today!

So, get ready to slay those virtual meetings, my friends! 😊
