At CES 2025, Google revealed a significant update to its TV operating system that incorporates its Gemini AI assistant to provide customized news reports. The new "News Brief" function will create a succinct summary of the day's events by scraping news articles and YouTube headlines from reliable sources. By late 2025, Google intends to introduce the capability to both new and current Google TV devices.
The action represents Google's further entry into the field of AI-generated news, which has been the target of legal challenges from media businesses due to copyright issues. With the exception of relevant YouTube videos, Google's News Brief does not currently list its sources, despite lawsuits against competing companies like OpenAI and Microsoft for using unlicensed content. The accuracy of AI-generated news has also been a problem; earlier AI models produced headlines that were either completely untrue or misleading.
Google wants to make TVs more interactive than just summarizing news; Gemini lets users search for YouTube videos, movies, and TV series using natural language. In order to provide a more customized experience, future Google TVs will have sensors to recognize when people enter the room. News Brief's success may hinge on how effectively it handles issues with content integrity and transparency as the firm continues to introduce AI functions to consumer electronics.
