Protecting people from harmful manipulation

Google DeepMind 3 months ago

Google released the first empirically validated toolkit to measure how AI models can manipulate human beliefs and behaviors through deceptive tactics in realistic scenarios. The study involved over 10,000 participants across the UK, US, and India, with AI showing varying success rates depending on domain—least effective on health topics and more effective on financial decision-making. Google is integrating harmful manipulation evaluations into its Frontier Safety Framework and will test future models like Gemini 3 Pro using these new benchmarks.

Vibe Coding XR: Accelerating AI + XR prototyping with XR Blocks and Gemini

Google Research 3 months ago

Google announced Vibe Coding XR, a system that uses Gemini to generate functional Android XR applications from natural language descriptions in under 60 seconds by combining the LLM with the XR Blocks framework. The system achieved approximately 70% success rate initially on a dataset of 60 prompts (VCXR60), with reliability improving to higher rates through 11 major releases when using Gemini's Pro Mode. The tool enables users without XR expertise to prototype spatial computing applications, educational experiences, and interactive environments directly on Android XR headsets through voice or text prompts.
