Google announced a landmark investment in India tallying $15 billion over the next five years—its largest in the region to date—to build its first artificial intelligence (AI) in the country.

A federal judge's mild ruling in the Justice Department's suit over Google's search engine monopoly has critics worried that the tech giant can now monopolize artificial intelligence.

The new models, dubbed Gemini Robotics 1.5 and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5, greatly expand on the capabilities of the original version to handle multistep, "long-horizon" tasks and are a significant milestone towards robots assisting people in real-world use cases.
