IT之家 2 月 2 日消息，上周五，Alphabet 旗下谷歌公司成功说服旧金山一名联邦法官，驳回了消费者团 体提出的、针对该公司过往违规收集数据行为的逾 20 亿美元处罚申请。涉事行为为谷歌在用户关闭一 项核心隐私设置后，仍私自采集其数据。 美国联邦地区法院首席法官理查德・西博格驳回了相关申请，该申请要求判令谷歌返还其声称的 23.6 亿美元（IT之家注：现汇率约合 164.35 亿元人民币）非法获利，并叫停谷歌部分与广告相关的数据处 理行为。 去年 9 月，陪审团已作出裁决，认定谷歌在数百万用户关闭追踪功能的情况下，秘密收集其应用使用数 据，需承担相应法律责任。谷歌此前已向法官西博格游说，请求不要在该陪审团裁决基础上追加上述处 罚。 谷歌则反驳称，若法院下达禁令阻止其收集用户账户相关数据，将致使数百万应用开发者依赖的一项分 析服务陷入"瘫痪"。 西博格在裁决中指出，原告方未能证明存在任何"未来的、不可弥补的损害"，不足以支持法院发布永久 禁令、禁止谷歌相关数据采集行为。法官同时表示，消费者一方未能证明其有权主张谷歌返还获利，且 其对谷歌相关获利的估算"缺乏充分依据支撑"。 9 月的陪审团已为该集体诉讼的 ...

图片来源： Youtube 的。外界曾有一种看法，认为Google让ChatGPT把这项技术抢先用起来了。但在我看来，现在的Gemini已经几乎可以和ChatGPT平起平坐，甚至在某些方面 表现更好。 Arjun： Google DeepMind在这当中起着核心作用。我之前提到，它成立于2010年，而Google在2014年将其收购。当时我刚刚进入科技报道行业，Google 为DeepMind支付了大约4亿英镑，也就是2014年约5.4亿美元。按照现在的估算，这笔投资的价值可能已经达到数百亿，甚至上千亿美元。 Arjun： 实际上，DeepMind对Google的AI发展至关重要。以Gemini这个面向消费者发布的聊天机器人为例，它的背后技术很大程度上都来自DeepMind。 但早在这些之前，DeepMind就已经有过一些重大突破。几年前，他们推出了名为AlphaGo的系统，引起了全球轰动。这是第一个能够击败围棋世界冠军的 计算机程序。围棋是一种非常复杂的棋类游戏，当时被视为AI的重大挑战之一，因为它的变化极其多样，可能的组合数量非常庞大。 Z Highlights： 2026 年 1 月 16 日由 Arj ...

该原型率先向美国Google AI Ultra订阅用户开放。 如果人工智能领域的进步可以看作一部交响乐，那么过去几年，乐章的主题无疑是"生成"——生成文 字、图像、声音乃至视频。然而，在2026年初，一段崭新的旋律被奏响：它不仅生成，更能构建。 北京时间1月30日凌晨，谷歌DeepMind向外部开放了Project Genie，它被认为是目前最先进的世界模型 之一，可以算是世界模型Genie3的实验性研究原型，也是这套世界模型第一次以可交互形态对公众开 放。 "Genie"这个单词源于阿拉伯语 jinni（精灵），后经法语变形成 génie后成为一个英语词汇，最常见的含 义是指阿拉伯和伊斯兰神话传说中，一个能实现召唤者愿望的"精灵"或"神怪"。谷歌DeepMind将其世 界模型项目命名为"Project Genie"（精灵计划），正是在阐释该神话的内涵：这个AI模型能将你用文字 描述的任何场景（召唤者的愿望），瞬间生成一个可以进入并交互的虚拟世界。 当AI不仅能够描绘梦境，更能让人走进梦境并与之互动时，我们所讨论的"虚拟"与"现实"的边界，或许 已到了需要被重新思考的时刻。 目前，该原型率先向年满18岁的美国 ...
