Have you ever watched fencing during the Olympics before? Me neither. The reason you’re watching and sticking with it? AI. This is the first Olympics since the debut of generative AI. The Olympics is a huge broadcast event and it takes a lot of time and effort to coordinate what events and moments to show and when. In past Olympics that were on a few cable networks and one major broadcast network, there was a team that determined which events to feature and which to leave behind. So you got to see a ton of women’s gymnastics, swimming and track and field - always popular. Fencing? Was never really shown. Stuck way in the back of the closet. But now the combination of AI and streaming has created a new environment where you can see nearly every sport, and the key moments as well. All of it uses AI. In the past, a team had to review all of the footage and used input from people at the event to decide which moments to showcase. A herculean undertaking. Now, using AI, the intelligent system reviews the raw video from all the events and analyzes the crowd noise to narrow down what were the key moments during an event that they want to stream. Makes putting together a compelling broadcast for all sports easier - and faster. So enjoy your fencing, or table tennis, or an equestrian event, and marvel at a really good use of AI. #ai #artificialintelligence #marketing #olympics https://lnkd.in/gYPh-Bgk

Google Discover promoting AI Overviews for Olympic Games in Paris Google is now promoting its AI Overviews directly in Google Discover. As users scroll through the Google home page, they may see a sample of a question that Google thinks its AI Overviews in Google Search can do a nice job of answering. What it looks like. Here is a screenshot of my Google Discover feed showing a promotion for AI Overviews. In this case, Google is promoting Olympics swimming by asking the question, “Why aren’t full-body swimsuits allowed on race day?” Here is a screenshot: When you click “See AI Overview,” you are taken into Google Search, and Google will then show you the AI Overview at the top of the search results page. I covered examples of fencing earlier today, here are some of those examples: Google's AI Overview spotted in Google Discover @lilyraynyc @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/msTeR9j3Le — Andy Simpson (@ndyjsimpson) July 27, 2024 Olympics partnership. This is likely part of the Google partnership with the Paris Olympics, where Google announced that you can “learn more about the Games with Gemini.” Why we care. It is interesting to see Google pushing AI Overviews, maybe to get more users more accustomed to them. It is clear, AI Overviews are here to stay and will be a big part of Google Search for the foreseeable future. July 29, 2024 at 11:23PM
