The next Gboard update could include AI-powered proofreading and more.

As reported by 9to5Google, Google is gearing up for a big Gboard update that could let you use AI to check for spelling mistakes, grammar, and punctuation. It might also give you the ability to use AI to adjust the tone of your text — similar to the “Help me write” feature in Gmail and Docs — as well as generate emoji stickers using a text prompt.

Additionally, 9to5Google found that the update could include new stylus gestures when using Gboard’s handwriting feature, allowing you to cross words out to delete them and draw a caret to insert new text. Gboard 13.3 is still in beta, and it’s still unclear when it’ll be available to everyone.

Stability AI may not be so stable.

After a series of executive resignations and controversies over who deserves credit for its achievements, some people are questioning the future of Stable Diffusion operator Stability AI. Bloomberg reported that time may be running out for Stability AI to prove itself as a professional company before newer, more powerful foundation models outpace its work.

“Stability AI is in the innovation business, and we are well aware that any time a new path is taken in any field, there will be critics and skeptics. That reality is no different for the field of generative AI, which has taken the world by storm because of its potential to be the greatest disruptor of our time,” Stability AI said in a statement to The Verge.

Disney reportedly launched a task force to find ways to save money using AI.

The entertainment giant is looking into ways it can apply AI across its entire business, according to a report from Reuters. A source tells the outlet that Disney could use AI to lower the costs of its movie and TV productions, while also enhancing experiences at its parks.

We might hear more about this from Disney CEO Bob Iger on Wednesday, as that’s when Disney is supposed to report its quarter three earnings results.
