Google plays catch-up, and pays up In his first media appearance since taking over Google DeepMind, Koray Kavukcuoglu told our AI Agenda Live audience when Gemini 4 could arrive. Google is also quietly paying publishers whose work feeds its AI answers, and some of the biggest aren’t taking the deal. The founders want the final say Ahead of its IPO, Anthropic’s founders are lining up a way to keep control of the company, even as they own only a sliver of it. How much of the vote they’d hold, and who still picks the board, is in the story. Big bets, new problems Meta only just launched its Muse agent, but a security flaw now has the company rethinking the warning users see.
