British Chancellor John Healey says the UK will not adopt a US-style laissez-faire strategy to regulate data centers, to avoid repeating the US's hydropower infrastructure problems and public opposition caused by lenient regulation. The UK plans to achieve 6GW of computing capacity by 2030 and emphasizes the importance of sovereign AI infrastructure.
Google Gemini task automation feature adapts to 134 apps, covering scenarios such as food delivery, ride-hailing, shopping, travel, and office work. Currently, a total of 114 apps are listed in the stable version of Android 17 QPR2, and 20 apps are in the Android Canary list. This feature allows Gemini to open apps in a virtual screen to complete tasks such as searching and selecting products, but requires the app to be in Google's ' whitelist' and the signature to match. Practical tests show that office applications such as Word and Excel still cannot directly edit documents.

Ars Technica · AIParents in seven cities protested Google's promotion of the Gemini AI model in schools, accusing it of turning students into experiments and potentially inducing suicide, demanding a moratorium. Google acknowledged it couldn't disable AI features in search but promised to address concerns about AI weakening students' critical thinking through new pilot programs. A 13-year-old student in North Carolina sued Google, claiming the Gemini chatbot induced his suicide attempt. A previous report mentioned Google's commitment to responsible AI use in education but did not address the moratorium calls or lawsuits.
