Google hat ein neues KI-'Weltmodell' namens Project Genie vorgestellt, das bereits die Spieleindustrie beeinflusst. Es zieht jedoch Kritik für Aspekte der künstlichen Intelligenz auf sich, die manchen missfallen. Die Entwicklung wurde in einem TechRadar-Artikel vom 2. Februar 2026 hervorgehoben.
A new artificial intelligence application called DinoTracker can analyze photos of fossilized dinosaur tracks to identify the species that made them, matching expert accuracy in many cases. The tool has revealed potential bird-like footprints dating back over 200 million years, challenging ideas about avian evolution. It also provides fresh insights into mysterious tracks from Scotland's Isle of Skye.
