Google announces Astra

Google has revealed Astra, a new search engine version that is powered by generative AI. The tool uses a phone camera and AI for real-time object recognition, finding items, identifying sounds and more. Specifically, the AI assistant uses camera input to identify objects, recognize sounds and recall previous observations. This advancement aims to integrate AI more seamlessly into everyday life.

Beyond Google, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT is also set to announce a new market competitor against Google, Reuters reports, citing sources close to the matter. Bloomberg reported that the new search engine tool would be an extension of ChatGPT, adding that it will make it possible for ChatGPT to pull in direct information from the Web and include citations.

Despite the Google announcement, however, AI crypto coins refuse to rally, with CoinGecko data showing sector tokens in the red. However, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) market capitalization today is $29.8 billion, a 14.8% change in the last 24 hours.
