    YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING: GOOGLE BEGINS TESTING AI-ONLY SEARCH RESULTS   
   (4 MINUTE READ) [5]    
      
    Google may soon just tell users what's on the Internet instead of   
   showing them. The company is expanding its AI search features and   
   testing a more substantial change in the form of AI Mode - a version   
   of Google that will only show AI results. Google insists that helping   
   people discover content online remains central to its approach, but AI   
   Mode won't show organic results - it is designed to operate in a   
   conversational way, so users will have to refine their search or ask   
   follow-up questions. The experimental feature is only available for   
   Google One AI Premium subscribers.    
      
    THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS A.G.I. IS COMING (140 MINUTE READ) [21]    
      
    Many experts, including those in government, believe that   
   transformational artificial intelligence will be coming in the next   
   two to three years.    
      
    ADVANCED ROBOTIC SURGERIES ARE MINIMALLY INVASIVE, HELPING PATIENTS   
   HEAL FASTER (5 MINUTE READ) [8]    
      
    Robot surgeries account for around 22% of surgeries nowadays. The   
   method offers less bleeding, less time in the hospital, and faster   
   recovery time with less pain. These robots are machines operated by   
   highly trained and experienced surgeons that remotely operate arms   
   that hold tiny surgical instruments. Using robots allows surgeons to   
   comfortably maneuver in places that are otherwise quite restrictive.   
   The technology is not only becoming more widespread, it is also   
   becoming more advanced - it may be possible one day to have robots   
   operating independently.    
      
    A STUDENT USED AI TO BEAT AMAZON'S BRUTAL TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. HE GOT   
   AN OFFER AND SOMEONE TATTLED TO HIS UNIVERSITY (6 MINUTE READ) [13]    
      
    Columbia University student Roy Lee managed to land internships at   
   Amazon, Meta, and TikTok using a simple AI program. He had originally   
   planned to get a degree to work in Big Tech, but training for   
   technical interviews killed his passion for the job, which led him to   
   create the program. Columbia University has scheduled a disciplinary   
   hearing for Lee's stunt, but he will not be attending - Lee plans to   
   leave the university, saying that the program he built is proof that   
   the jobs Big Tech are offering are becoming obsolete.
