Rise renews global mentoring programme for coming year INDUSTRY
Rise, an international advocacy group for gender diversity in broadcast media, has announced its 2024 global mentoring programme. The initiative will span the UK and Europe, Australia and New Zealand, APAC, India and North America in an effort to foster worldwide inclusion.
Each region will follow a similar agenda tailored to the locale, and feature seminars and networking events delivered by senior professionals. Mentors can be of any gender identity and must demonstrate leadership and commitment to diversity; mentees must identify as women. Rise
mentees are selected for their passion and potential for growth, particularly within the broadcast sector. Last year’s programme supported 125 mentees. This year, Rise hopes to build on that success, fostering meaningful personal and professional connections.
Google has retired both its digital helper Google Assistant, and chatbot Bard, opting instead for a single solution: Gemini. The app – available to English speakers in over 150 countries – can respond to voice requests, generate text and images, make phone calls, analyse photos and much more. In development since early 2023, Gemini is a product of Google’s leading AI labs, Google Brain and Deepmind (now merged). Like ChatGPT, the app’s ‘generative’ element is prone to errors – in other words, anything it tells you will need proper fact-checking. Also like ChatGPT, Gemini is a large language model (LLM), meaning it picks up skills by scouring data. Though the Gemini app is free, it’s limited in scope. A more powerful version, called Gemini Advanced, costs $19.99 for a monthly subscription. AI Google unveils Gemini app
