Gemini AI to Get Coverage During Olympics 2024

Olympics 2024 is set to be held between July 26 and August 11 in Paris, France. NBCUniversal, the parent company of numerous cable channels such as USA, Syfy, Bravo, E! as well as streaming service Peacock, has the exclusive distribution and coverage rights of the event in the US. After becoming the official Search AI Partner of the event, Google will get the opportunity to showcase its AI-based products and services through various broadcast shows and social media engagement campaigns.

Google detailed some of these showcases in a blog post. During NBCUniversal's daytime and primetime coverage, NBC Olympics announcers will use Google Search's latest addition, AI Overviews, to show how it can help users find out more about their favourite sports and athletes quickly. Notably, an earlier report claimed that the tech giant has significantly reduced the visibility of AI Overviews.
