Google Is Replacing Gemini Gems With Skills

If you have spent time building a custom Gem in Google Gemini, there is a change coming that you need to know about. Google is retiring Gems and moving them into a new system called Skills. But there is some good news: your work is not simply being deleted. Google says it will automatically convert existing Gems into Skills, starting November 17, 2026, for personal Google accounts. Until a Gem is migrated, users can continue using it. So, what exactly is changing?

Gemini Can Now Call Businesses for You And Handle the Conversation

Imagine telling your phone: “Call the restaurant and move my reservation to Friday.” Then putting your phone down. You do not wait on hold. You do not listen to endless “Press 1 for this, press 2 for that.” You do not explain the same thing three times. Instead, Gemini makes the call for you. Google is now testing a new feature called “Call for Me,”

AI Hallucination Nearly Triggered a US Military Operation Against China

Imagine receiving an intelligence report saying a Chinese ship is carrying materials linked to a nuclear weapons programme. You do not have hours to debate it. You act. That is reportedly what nearly happened earlier this year. U.S. military aircraft were already in the air, and armed personnel were preparing to board a Chinese vessel in the Middle East when officials discovered something deeply concerning: The intelligence was wrong. And an AI chatbot had helped produce it.

Gemini Hacked Three Companies During an AI Security Test

Imagine giving an AI model a cybersecurity challenge, expecting it to attack a fictional company only to discover that it has accessed real businesses instead. That is what happened during a security test involving Google's Gemini. In May 2026, cybersecurity evaluation company Irregular was testing Gemini's ability to find information inside simulated company systems. The exercise was designed as a controlled “capture the flag” challenge, with fictional targets.

Gemini Can Now Switch Between 97 Languages in the Same Voice Chat

Imagine starting a conversation with Gemini in English. Then you suddenly switch to French. A few seconds later, you ask something in Spanish. Then you throw in another language without stopping the conversation. Instead of forcing you to change a setting every time, Gemini can now follow along. Google has launched Gemini 3.8 Live, a new real-time voice AI model that can automatically detect and transition between 97 supported languages during a single conversation.

Google Cloud Is Sending 1,000 AI Engineers Into Businesses. Here Is Why

For a while, the AI race was mostly about one question: Who has the smartest model? Now, the question is changing. Who can actually make companies use AI successfully? Google Cloud appears to have an answer: send the experts directly to the companies. On September 8, Google Cloud and Accenture announced a new Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, a joint initiative designed to help businesses move from experimenting with AI to actually deploying it across their operations.

Google’s Gemini Spark Can Now Manage Your Google Photos Library. Here Is What It Can Actually Do

Your Google Photos library probably has hundreds, maybe thousands, of pictures you never organized. That holiday album you meant to create? Still unfinished. Those duplicate screenshots? Still there. The best photos from your friend’s birthday? Buried somewhere between screenshots, memes, and random pictures. Google now wants Gemini to handle that mess for you.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok All Went Down at Once. What Happened?

For a few hours on Thursday, September 3, something unusual happened across the AI world. People opened ChatGPT. Nothing. They switched to Claude. Problems. Then they tried Grok. Still down. Three of the biggest AI assistants in the world were experiencing service problems within the same window, leaving users wondering whether the much-talked-about “AI-pocalypse” had finally arrived.

The Pentagon Now Has Its Own ChatGPT and Grok

Imagine walking into work and having ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini sitting in the same AI toolbox, except the workplace is the U.S. military. That is now happening. The U.S. Department of War has added OpenAI’s ChatGPT Mil and Starshield AI’s Grok for Government to GenAI.mil, its secure AI platform for military and civilian personnel. The move gives the department access to multiple frontier AI systems instead of relying on a single model.

Elon Musk Blasts Sam Altman as OpenAI Cuts Off Cursor in Latest AI Feud

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are arguing again. At this point, that sentence hardly sounds surprising. But the latest clash is more than another social-media argument between two of Silicon Valley's biggest personalities. This time, it involves OpenAI, SpaceX, Cursor, and access to AI models, and it could affect developers using one of the world's most popular AI coding tools.
