Good Morning, Leaders!

If you don’t know your Multimodal AI from your Edge AI, you’re in trouble. Lucky for you, we’ve got the 10 AI terms every exec should know, a breakdown of Google’s Gemini update, and a quick look at how AI-generated misinformation is making truth even harder to find (thanks, internet). Oh, and Amazon Prime just made AI recap your shows for you—because reading episode summaries is so last year.

10 AI Terms You Should Pretend You Knew All Along

Keeping up with AI lingo is a full-time job. Here are the 10 terms you’ll need to drop in meetings to sound like you’ve got it all under control:

1. Multimodal AI – AI that can process text, images, audio, and video all at once. Think Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT-4V—basically AI with more senses than you.

2. Edge AI – AI that runs on your device instead of relying on the cloud, making things faster, more private, and a little less ‘Big Brother’.

3. Explainable AI (XAI) – AI that actually tells you how it made a decision instead of just saying “trust me, bro.” Useful when regulators start asking questions.

4. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) – Fancy term for AI that fetches real-time data before responding, making it less likely to hallucinate (but no promises).

5. Federated Learning – A way for AI to learn from data without ever storing it in one place. Used in healthcare and finance for privacy reasons (or when companies don’t want to get sued).

6. AI Governance – Rules and policies to keep AI from going rogue (or at least to make sure your legal team sleeps at night).

7. Synthetic Media – AI-generated images, videos, voices—deepfakes, avatars, and that AI-generated influencer who somehow has more followers than you.

8. Neuro-Symbolic AI – The holy grail: AI that combines deep learning with human-style reasoning. Closer to actual thinking, but still can’t fold laundry.

9. AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) – AI that builds and optimizes AI models so humans don’t have to. If that sounds like job security is shrinking, well... yeah.

10. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) – The big one. An AI that thinks, learns, and reasons like a human. Not here yet, but some folks (cough, OpenAI) are betting big on it.

Google’s Gemini Just Got Smarter. Again.

Google’s latest Gemini update brings ‘thinking’ AI models that remember context across conversations. Translation? It now holds onto past questions and doesn’t immediately forget everything like an overworked intern.

What’s new:

• More Context, Smarter Responses – It remembers details, meaning fewer repeated questions and less frustration.

• AI That Works Everywhere – A sleek new mobile version brings smarter AI on the go.

What This Means for Enterprises – Smarter assistants, better customer interactions, and a glimpse at AI’s future as a fully integrated digital co-worker.

AI vs. Misinformation: Spotting Fake News Just Got Harder

Fake news is old news. But AI-generated misinformation? That’s a whole new game. With synthetic media, deepfake videos, and AI-generated articles flooding the web, separating fact from fiction just got trickier.

How to stay ahead:

• Check for AI Watermarks – Some platforms label AI-generated content (assuming bad actors don’t remove them).

• Fact-Check with Multiple Sources – If a story feels extreme, verify it across reputable news sources.

• Use AI to Fight AI – New AI-powered fact-checkers help filter misinformation before it spreads faster than your aunt’s conspiracy theories.

Prime Video’s AI Recaps: Because Who Has Time to Remember?

Amazon just gave Prime Video a new AI trick—automated episode recaps. Because reading synopses is for suckers.

How it works:

• Instant Recaps – AI-generated summaries help you remember what happened without rewinding.

• AI Voiceovers? – Some recaps come with auto-generated narration (because reading is so 2024).

• Future Potential – AI-driven personalized summaries, auto-generated trailers, and even fully AI-driven entertainment? It’s coming.

TL;DR

• Know your AI lingo. Saying “AGI” with confidence might not make you an AI expert, but it’ll keep you from looking lost in meetings.

• Google’s Gemini is thinking bigger. The new AI update means smarter, more context-aware responses—your chatbot just got a brain boost.

• AI misinformation is getting sneakier. If you’re not double-checking news sources, you might be taking investment advice from a deepfake.

• Prime Video’s AI recaps are just the start. Generative AI is turning passive watching into something much more interactive.

• Use AI wisely. Automate the boring stuff, but don’t let AI make the big calls without a human in the loop.

AI is evolving at breakneck speed. Whether it’s keeping up with AI governance, experimenting with multimodal models, or figuring out if your news is real, now’s the time to get smart, stay ahead, and use AI like a pro. The future is unfolding—are you ready?
